Castle Crashers offers a diverse cast of characters, each unlockable through various in-game challenges and optional DLCs. The best strategy to maximize your unlocks is to leverage the game's co-op feature, teaming up with friends for an enjoyable and efficient character collection journey.
In co-op mode, remember that each player must select a unique character for the session. For instance, if one player chooses the Green Knight, no other player can use the same character. Characters cannot be transferred between profiles or shared in a lobby, so each player must unlock them individually, though this can be done within a co-op setting.
