S-TIER · Damage · Employed Family
Electrician Dude has the second-highest DPS in the game (25) with Static Discharge chaining bonus damage on every hit. The dev guide says he wants Attack Power and Run Speed — once he is decked out in Relics he does not even need Attack Speed — and his Fuzzy Socks relic is a team-carrying pick. S-tier: a top damage engine from turn one.
S-TIER · Damage · Action Family
Hacker Dude generates an Exploit every 4 seconds (per Hacker), and Dudes consume Exploits on attack for bonus damage. The dev guide's advice is unambiguous: 'stack as many Hacker Dudes as possible while giving them as much Crit Chance as you can find so they're compiling a billion Exploits per second.' S-tier with crit support.
S-TIER · Tank · Warrior Family
Knight Dude is the tankiest Dude in the game — 230 Max HP — and Taunts 5 nearby enemies every 3 seconds. The dev guide says he just wants Toughness and Max HP; Crit is a bonus. He is the defensive anchor every endgame team is built around. S-tier: the meta tank.
S-TIER · Summon · Undead Family
Necrodude Summons a Skeledude at battle start and re-summons one 6 seconds after it falls — a permanent extra body that turns every fight into a 5v5. He is the foundation of Undead comps and one of the highest-value Dudes in the game. S-tier: free frontline, forever.
S-TIER · Support · Fantasy Family
Paladin Dude has elite base stats — 180 HP, 24 DPS, 20 Attack Power — and Blesses 2 random Roster Dudes at battle start. He is a raid boss in Dude form: tanky, damaging, and buffing simultaneously. S-tier: the best all-rounder in the game.
S-TIER · Damage · Warrior Family
Samurai Dude has the highest DPS in the game (25) and Dashes to the lowest-HP enemy every 3 seconds — an executioner who never lets anyone escape. The dev guide's signature combo: 'Got a Samurai Dude? Pair him with an Alien and give him a Taser!' S-tier: relentless finisher.
S-TIER · Healer · Undead Family
Vampire Dude applies his Bloodsucker Aura whenever he Lifesteals, spreading team-wide healing. The dev guide treats him as the standard healer — grab his Blood Bag relic early — and his Bat Wings give him a Cheat Death. S-tier: the best healer in the game.
S-TIER · Damage · Warrior Family
Viking Dude deals 24 DPS and has a 5% chance per hit to go Berserk: +50% Attack Speed and Run Speed for 3 seconds. Once he starts snowballing, he never stops swinging. S-tier: one of the best raw damage dealers in the game.
A-TIER · Damage · Sci-Fi Family
Cyborg Dude is a pure executioner: 24 DPS, 17.1 Attack Power, and the game's fastest Run Speed (36). Extermination focuses bonus pressure on his Primary Target, making him a premier boss-killer. Pair him with Attack Speed buffs (Bard Dude, Paladin Dude's Blessing) to melt single targets. A-tier: elite DPS with no real weakness.
A-TIER · Damage · Fantasy Family
Druid Dude fights in Dude Form for his first 10 hits, then shapeshifts into Bear Form — turning a solid ranged attacker into a melee bruiser. The dev guide names his Bear Knuckle relic as one that can carry a team practically on its own. A-tier: two phases of value in one Dude.
A-TIER · Tank · Undead Family
Frankendude has 180 Max HP and high natural Regeneration, and his Blood Pump donates HP to allies every second. He is the Undead family's regenerating wall — he patches himself up and shares the love. A-tier: sustain anchor for long fights.
A-TIER · Tank · Undead Family
Lich Dude Stores 70% of incoming damage in his Thralls instead of taking it, and every 3 seconds commands his Thralls.

A-TIER · Tank · Action Family
Pirate Dude is a 200 HP taunt tank: he Taunts 4 enemies at battle start and re-Taunts every 5 seconds. The dev guide wants Evasion and Crit Chance on him so he can Taunt as much as possible while dodging the damage. A-tier: the most aggressive tank in the game.
A-TIER · Tank · Sci-Fi Family
Psionic Dude is a 200 HP control tank who Taunts 5 enemies at battle start and punishes attackers when he Deflects or takes damage. He is the Sci-Fi family's answer to the Pirate Dude. A-tier: crowd control built into a wall of HP.
A-TIER · Summon · Sci-Fi Family

A-TIER · Damage · Fantasy Family
Ranger Dude has a 25% chance per hit to fire a Magic Arrow for bonus damage. The dev guide's combo: give him his Hunter's Blade and stack Crit Chance, and he 'fires a ridiculous number of Magic Arrows.' A-tier: the best crit-scaling DPS in the game.
A-TIER · Tank · Warrior Family

A-TIER · Damage · Sci-Fi Family

B-TIER · Support · Action Family
Agent Dude is a mobile bodyguard: whenever he deals Direct Damage he has a 15% chance to Dash to a Roster Dude in danger and turn him into an Asset with Temporary Health (20% of his Max HP). Put him near your carries so his Dash procs land where they matter. His high Run Speed (28) means he rarely misses the rescue window. He ranks B-tier: excellent protection, but his trigger depends on RNG procs.
B-TIER · Damage · Action Family
Assassin Dude's Toxic Slash reduces his target's Attack Power by 5% per stack (up to 3, lasting 5s) — a 15% enemy damage debuff.

B-tier: reliable, single-target utility damage.
B-TIER · Support · Fantasy Family

B-TIER · Healer · Employed Family
Chef Dude prepares Burgers that Heal for 70% of his Attack Power on every hit, holding up to 4 at a time and delivering them to Roster Dudes as needed.

B-tier: unique repositioning control.
B-TIER · Support · Employed Family
Dentist Dude injects Novocaine into a random enemy on every hit, stacking up to 5 times; each stack prevents 3% of the damage that enemy receives (up to 15% total) — an armor-shred effect that makes your whole team hit harder. He is a quiet defensive MVP against tanky bosses like the G.O.A.T. B-tier: subtle but strong mitigation.
B-TIER · Healer · Action Family
Explorer Dude's Canteen holds 2 Sips (refilling one every 3 seconds) and automatically Heals any Roster Dude who drops below 30% HP for 150% of his DPS.

B-tier: the best money-maker in the game.
B-TIER · Support · Warrior Family
General Dude issues Tactical Command every 4 seconds, forcing the Dude Type immediately below him on the Roster to Taunt up to 3 nearby enemies.

B-TIER · Utility · Undead Family
Ghost Dude's Phase Shift (30% chance on hit) Equalizes the HP between the most-injured and the healthiest Roster Dude, then Heals both for 100% of his Attack Power.

B-TIER · Healer · Warrior Family

B-TIER · Damage · Sci-Fi Family
Mutant Dude has a 50% chance on hit to create a Floofball that Heals the team. The dev guide says he gets a big boost from Cleave, Attack Power, and Attack Speed, but his healing throughput does not benefit from Crit Chance. B-tier: self-healing DPS that scales with the right stats.
B-TIER · Damage · Warrior Family

C-TIER · Utility · Sci-Fi Family
Alien Dude's Tractor Beam pulls the Dude Type immediately above him on the Roster to the lowest-HP enemy every 3 seconds, forcing a focus-fire Dash. Roster position is everything with him: stack your hardest hitter directly below Alien so the Beam turns him into an executioner. He ranks C-tier because the payoff depends entirely on roster setup, and he contributes nothing on his own.
C-TIER · Tank · Action Family
The official Dudex describes Cave Dude's ability as 'Unga Bunga. First, Cave Dude Unga. Then... he Bunga.' — a deliberate joke. His stat line (120 HP, 20 DPS, 14.3 damage) reads as a straightforward melee bruiser with no tricks. C-tier: perfectly fine early, outclassed by Dudes whose abilities do something specific.
C-TIER · Tank · Employed Family
Construction Dude is the Employed family's bruiser: 200 Max HP, 20 DPS, and a 20% chance to toss a Hammer at a bonus target on hit. He absorbs damage well but brings no team utility. C-tier: a budget tank once you outgrow the first Tiers.
C-TIER · Support · Employed Family
Manager Dude picks 4 Interns at battle start, Stores 15% of all damage they deal, and Expels it onto his Micromanage Target. He is a damage funnel with extra steps — strong on paper, but he needs a team built around him. C-tier: setup-dependent.
C-TIER · Damage · Undead Family
Mummy Dude's Curse of Doom generates Doom equal to all Direct Damage he deals — a delayed-damage engine that punishes enemies who stick around. His low Run Speed (14) and modest DPS (16) make him a slow burn. C-tier: he needs the fight to go long.
C-TIER · Tank · Special Family
Regular Dude is the starter Dude: he gains 2% Attack Power and Max HP for every additional Regular Dude on your Roster (Mob Mentality). The official wiki notes Regular Dudes have no Family and no personal Relics — 'they have their own thing going on.' C-tier: a scaling early-game pick that falls off in the endgame.
One warning from the developers themselves: "the only weak Dude is a neglected Dude." Tier lists are starting points, not gospel — the official guide encourages weird teams and says game-breaking synergies are found by experimenting.
