Sprinter
General#
The Sprinter is the first class most players buy. It is the fastest of the ordinary zombies even before its ability, and at three lives it can afford to die chasing.

Ability: Sprint#
Costs 40 power, 5 second cooldown.
A three second burst of speed. At 40 power you can use it roughly every twenty seconds sustained, or twice back to back from a full meter.
Playing It#
The Sprinter exists to punish anyone who runs in the open. Save the burst for the moment a survivor breaks cover rather than opening with it, because five seconds of cooldown is a long time when they reach a door.
It is also the best class for cutting off a group that is trying to relocate, and one of the two classes unlocked early enough to matter in the opening minutes.
