Rankings
Full tier breakdown
Core scaling
Prioritize these because they improve nearly every future target or unlock major content.
Oof & Noob Income Upgrades
The official loop starts with buying Noobs to make Oof, so income scaling is the highest priority for every later system.
Prestige Layers
Prestige is confirmed on the official page and unlocks new content, making it central to long-term scaling.
Strong route value
High-value systems once unlocked, especially when they improve Rune, Prism, or Prestige pacing.
Rune Speed & Rune Luck
Runes are a confirmed system. Group likes can grant Rune Speed and community server joining can grant Rune Luck.
Prism Scaling
Prism is confirmed through the Roblox Plus bonus. Treat Prism-related gains as high priority once the system is unlocked or affects Prestige recovery.
Useful with context
Worth buying when the upgrade shortens a specific target, event route, or balanced build.
Stat Efficiency Upgrades
The official page mentions dozens of stats, so broad stat upgrades are useful when they shorten a specific target instead of only raising a vanity number.
Event & Update Rewards
Update rewards can be valuable, but they should be ranked after their exact Oof, Prism, Rune, or Prestige effect is verified.
Delay first
Avoid early unless the purchase is required, cosmetic-only, or part of completion goals.
Scoring
How the tier list is ranked
- Does it improve Oof income or Noob production?
- Does it reduce time to the next Prestige layer or unlock new content?
- Does it improve Rune rolling, Rune leveling, Rune Speed, or Rune Luck?
- Does it affect Prism value or late-run recovery?
- Is the value verified from the official page or in-game testing?
Route
How to use the ranking
- Early game: prioritize Oof & Noob Income Upgrades before anything that does not compound.
- Mid game: compare Rune Speed, Rune Luck, and stat efficiency against your next Oof target.
- Prestige push: move Prestige Layers above short-term upgrades when recovery time becomes favorable.
- Late route: track Prism scaling separately once exact Prism sources are verified.
