I just beat Monsoon with HAN-D with only Origin on. Much fun. Learned to play him really well after all my multiplayer buddies dropped on 2nd map (so I was behind on items).

Brawler is exactly what he is, and very fun. Learn the bunnyhop punch and win. Easy hit & run. His main benefit is the massive stun/knockbacks. Punch, Punch, Overclock, Hammer, punch, punch, punch, punch, run till Overclock is off CD again. Merc is very low damage, so you'll take much longer to hit & run everything. Acrid is great for spit & run.

Basically on vanilla, I'd say your kill speed would be Acrid > HAN-D > Loader > Merc > Miner. Loader would be 2nd but the CD on teslas is long and your main damage component early on. Merc/Miner is a toss-up kinda depending on how well you cycle their skills with tight-packed groups of enemies while still not getting hit. For any of them but Acrid, you need a LOT of "momentum" items (on-kill effects) to boost kill speed once you take one enemy down.

Also: chef sucks. But a bit less than Huntress.
