I thought of one action skill and one combo skill for each class, hopefully bringing some more variety to the mode. This was originally intended for the upgrades, but since those are cosmetic only I’m listing them here.
The skills are interchangeable with original ones, and you would be able to do so in the pre-wave menu on a seperate tab.
Doctor

Description: Always joyful and positive, or your money back!
(A flying drone. Can only heal 1 person at a time, but will fly towards injured players)
Item: Empowering Beam (Doctor Combo Skill)
Description: It’s time to practice medicine.
(Doctor and nearby players become invincible and heal for a few seconds)
Mercenary

Description: With orbital cannons like these, who needs guns?
(Fires a continuous beam that slowly tracks zombies in a larger radius.)
Item: Dancing Magnums (Mercenary Combo Skill)

Electrician
Item: Battery Trap (Electrician Action Skill)
Description: A bit of exposed cable here, a car battery there, and SHAZAM!

Item: Undead Express (Electrician Combo Skill)
