Class Power is a unique feature of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands which wasn’t present in previous Borderlands games. Now each Character Class has its own unique Action Skills and Class Features, and on top of that, you can enhance these abilities by increasing your Class Power. In this guide, I’ll explain what the different powers are, what they exactly do, and how you can boost them to the next level.

What is Class Powers in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands?
You will unlock your Class Power early on in the game because this happens during the assault on Queen’s Gate which is one of the first areas. Paladin Mike will mention halfway through that mission that you can interact with the Queen’s Way Stone.
Class Power initially unlocks your Class Feat and then directly increases your character’s special abilities. So whenever you increase your Class’s Power, your Action Skills and Class Feat will get increased effectiveness or duration.
I made an overview of all the individual powers that are affected by Class Power and I’ll explain how they work. The percentage on your gear directly correlates to each aspect of the class powers. You can also find these stats in-game at the top of your Hero Stats menu. This is a sub-menu on the Skills tab, the same location where you spend your Hero Points.

How to Boost Class Power in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands?
You can boost your Character’s Class Power by utilizing Amulets and Armor but you will need to equip one that has your specific character class listed on the item. The higher the level of the item the higher the Class Power boost will become.
Armor can come with a primary and secondary Class Power. The secondary class power will always be half of the primary boost. While it’s recommended to equip a piece of Armor that has both your primary and secondary classes, in some cases a different secondary class can be interesting as it can come with different Skills that are beneficial to your build. Example: The Spellshot/Brr-Zerker Armor can roll with the skill ‘High Thread Count’. This increases your Spellweaving stacks and is a very powerful skill in the damage formula.
How is Class Power Calculated?
The Damage formulas in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands are very complex but here is a basic rundown on how Class Power is calculated.
[General Ability Damage Formula] * [Other Related Damage Formulas] * [1 + Class Power]
Basically, the more Class Power you have the stronger your abilities become. However, if you want to take a deep dive into each Damage Formula, Sen did an awesome breakdown. This really helps you maximize your damage.
