Zombies vs Humans Tier Lists
Weapons, undead roles, and blocks ranked for the night you are actually in.
Tier lists for Zombies vs Humans only work if they admit the round is two games taped together. Human nights care about reach, heals, and a roof. Zombie nights care about structure delete, then a finisher. This hub splits those jobs so a Gladiator S-tier on ruins does not trick you into buying it at 0 Tix.
- Weapon tier list — daggers through Obsidian Hammer, Bow, Elytra melee notes.
- Zombie tier list — Bomber to Gladiator, Tix costs, player caps.
- Armor and blocks — Leather to Elytra, wood to obsidian, Heavy Gold warning.
Unlock walls: level unlocks. How to pay for them: Money and Tix. How not to waste a fortress: how to build.
How we rank
Criteria, in order:
- Does it win the clock? Human tools that prevent conversion outrank highlight weapons.
- Does it delete pillars? Zombie tools that open a box beat vanity skins.
- Unlock cost. A tool you cannot buy on night three is not S-tier for this wiki’s readers.
- Durability after Saving Grace. A sword that chips to nothing mid-siege drops a letter.
- Player cap / cooldown on zombies. Cannoneer and Gladiator are limited; that is part of the rank.
We are not ranking emotes. We are not ranking game-pass fireworks. TNT-style Robux extras belong on game passes as optional, not as meta.
Snapshot (August 2026)
Human combat: Emerald Axe and Trident for reach, Diamond Sword as the honest mid, Bow for Cannoneer lines, Shield if you actually hold it. Flint Dagger is a spawn toy. Heavy Gold is a troll pickup. Full table: weapons.
Zombies: Bomber is the engine. Cannoneer is the tower killer. Hunter is the roof problem. Rusher is a finisher, not a siege. Gladiator is late-night S if you have 275 Tix and the fort is already open. Gravedigger is the support pick that wins ugly games. Full table: zombies. dangler’s “every zombie explained” video lives on that page.
Armor / blocks: Obsidian faces on the walk path, iron underneath, wood as fill. Elytra is mobility S and defense C. Heavy Gold Armor is a walking bounty. Full table: armor.
What a tier list will not do
It will not place your pillars. A Diamond Sword Human on a one-leg needle still converts. Read how to survive. It will not spend your Tix correctly if you wanted an emote. It will not apply to the fighting clone with cars.
Patch the ranks when updates land. New Frontiers added blocks and maps; it did not make Leather Armor good. Saving Grace made durability a ranking input. If a future zombie variant ships, it starts on the zombie page, not as a silent S here.
Use the three child lists. This hub is the legend.
