Pikeman looks like the worst class indeed. The low amount of ammo combined with the even lower chance to actually hit makes ranged as pikeman on horseback rather useless. Adding to that, most polearms are not useable on horseback.
Infantry, archer and xbowman all work quite well, but have their downsides too.
Xbowman has a rather low killspeed, but at least you get some decent armor and lots of ammo. Still requires a higher riding tier for better aim.
Archer is really good, because you dont have to bother about melee bots. The lack of armor can get a bit annoying, and you need a higher riding tier to actually hit something. I am doing quite well as t2 cav on my warden.
Infantry is the best, or the worst, depending on your playstyle. Shield plus 1h gives you a huge advantage over all of the other classes, because you dont have to bother about those random headshots as much. The downsides are, you need really good timing and quite a bit of practise to actually get some kills without constantly dying. But once you have it figured out infantry easily surpasses all of the other classes. When I started a few weeks ago I could barely get to wave 8 alone, now I can easily solo to 16 with mostly the same gear, and usually get about 200+ kills per run.
Basic hints:
Dont ride into pikemen unless you know what you are doing.
Dont ride straight into ranged troops.
Ride circles around bots.
Dont ride into other players circles.
Buy a courser.
