Shade Hero or Kaiser?
Im currently playing kaiser and it's alright but the fact that its suppperrr expensive is quite a turn off for me. I like hero's enraged rb animation, it looks very nice and I hear they are easier to hit cap with. Shade with good attack speed somewhat interests me as well.
Which one do you like? I just want to hear some personal opinions. In terms of bossing, training, damage, fun, etc

You will hate normal RB and it will be the bane of your Hero existence.
But hero is the best
Kaiser is fun too
i love my kaiser~ i solo pb in 2-3 minutes and 1 hit k.o horntail with my ulti
Kaiser is more expensive to see higher numbers, but the speed at which it attacks compensates for the lower damage per line compared to other classes
Kaiser's probably the most "potential" class since it can do the most DPS at cap.
Shades have a bunch of bossing efficient boosts (extra life, bind, split) and its main bossing skill is a 3mob hitting skill.
Hero's are the easiest (out of the three) to hit cap and they hit very hard single target. The only thing I don't like about hero's is how enraged rb is only one target. There's no efficient way to hit mobs with enraged active. On top of that, they rebuff pretty slowly (charging up your combo, puncture and enrage). I personally suck at playing a Hero though so that's my opinion.
Hero's easiest for damage.
I'd put Kaiser as most fun, and Shade as most efficient for everything else.
I have all 3: a 150 shade, 162 kaiser, and 215 hero. That should explain which one I personally was able to stick with the longest. While heroes are absolute crap at mobbing, I made up for it by just bossing for exp. from 160 to 215 all I did was boss, never went to sdh. With only around 600k range and 200% boss I can hit 25-28 mils per line on bosses. Plus, magic crash means that I never have to deal with damage reflect. Lack of buffs (only 3 useful ones, plus enrage) and only one (or two, if you count rush) attacking skill means not much clutter in your key bindings, although I personally use shout for farming too.
as a kaiser, you wont be knocked back (usefull for commerci bosses) ignore dr, resistance to status alignments, mobbing is easy, not a lot of buffs, and you tank 1/1s. Also you wont die if you touch those spinning poles in nlc
Bossing - Kaiser/Hero
Training - Kaiser/Shade
Damage - Kaiser/Hero
Fun - Subjective
Certain elements of all three classes appeal to me.
Hero: Personally I too like Hero's enraged RB animation. For me, I find great satisfaction in bossing just because of that animation. Also, this -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm0g9h-mke4 <3 Raw power of Hero's is just amazing.
Kaiser: I like Kaiser's ability to ignore damage reflect, it fits so well with my playstyle, which is having a full offensive kit. DPS is one of the best, especially if you plan on getting Ryude's, definitely a winner there.
Shade: Their backstep ability is a real plus for me. It's an instant cast, and is so useful for dodging boss mechanics. Spirit claw is a solid bossing move too, although I would argue not quite in the same tier as Raging Blow or Gigas Wave I don't really like how their bomb punch often will continue its animation even after I stop casting it. That part annoys me.
Verdict: I personally pick Hero because i love those rotating orbs and Raging Blow animation wins it for me. Others may say otherwise. Hero's ftw~
Herooooo
Shade but getting that +1 atk speed inner is a total pain..
