How to Use This Tier List

Your target tier depends on your current progression stage. Beginners should collect any brainrot available and focus on Jump Power upgrades. Mid-game players (50-110 jump power) should prioritize B-tier and above from Mid Mountain and High Ridge. Endgame players climbing the summit should only place A-tier and S-tier brainrots at their base for maximum income per hour.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best brainrot in Hike For Brainrot?
Ancient-tier brainrots like Ancient Trick Track Bear offer the highest income but only spawn during special events at the summit. For regularly obtainable units, Secret and Brainrot God tier brainrots at the summit provide the best consistent income.
How often is the tier list updated?
We update the tier list whenever the game receives balance patches or new brainrots are added. Check the date at the top of this page for the latest revision.
Should I only collect S-tier brainrots?
Early game, collect any brainrot you can reach to build income. Mid-game, focus on A-tier and above. Late game, only summit-level S-tier and Secret brainrots are worth placing at your base.
Do brainrot tiers change after rebirth?
Rebirth does not change individual brainrot tiers, but the cash multiplier from rebirth makes even B-tier brainrots generate income faster, changing which units are worth keeping.
How does rarity relate to tier ranking?
Rarity determines spawn location and base income, while tier ranking factors in income efficiency, obtainability, and overall value relative to the effort required to farm them.
