I understand that TSubClassOf is safer to use than UClass*. But are these both essentially the same?

Well… if one is safer than the other one then they cannot be the same, right? There has to be a difference somewhere.

TSubClassOf objects are checked at compile time where UClass* is being checked at runtime.

I recommend checking it out.
