How We Rank
Classes are ranked based on their performance across multiple criteria in both solo and co-op play. The most important factors are shift survival impact, sanity economy contribution, and overall team value.
- Survival Value: How much the class helps you and your team survive longer shifts.
- Sanity Economy: How well the class manages, recovers, or mitigates sanity loss.
- Team Utility: The value the class brings to a group, including healing, combat, and support.
- Cost Efficiency: The return on investment relative to the unlock cost in Animal Coins or Robux.
