+1 Upgrade Per Kill Class Tier List
Last updated:
Our pick for the best class in +1 Upgrade Per Kill is Bomber, with Firestarter a close second and the best value. Both can be unlocked for free through the Halloween quest, or with Gold (4k and 2k). This tier list ranks all ten classes for free-for-all PvP, where every kill upgrades your gear and every death resets it.
Tier list
| Tier | Class | Robux | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Bomber | 299 | Area damage, launches players with primed TNT |
| S | Firestarter | 149 | "Burn always lands"; free via the Halloween quest |
| A | Scorcher | 399 | Lava punishes armored players |
| A | Trapper | 79 | Cobwebs pin targets and stop combos |
| A | Warrior | Free | Wins long trades, extra Golden Apples |
| B | Skirmisher | 99 | Warp Pearls to dive in or escape |
| B | Trickster | 49 | Snowballs knock players off edges |
| B | Ghost | 179 | Potion to vanish |
| C | Archer | 25 | Poke from range, finish runners |
| C | Seer | 199 | See nearby enemies' hearts |
The game description lists eight classes (Warrior, Archer, Trickster, Trapper, Skirmisher, Firestarter, Bomber, Scorcher). The Roblox store also sells Ghost (179 Robux) and Seer (199 Robux) passes, which makes ten. Seer and Ghost were added on October 13, 2026 with the other class passes.
How we ranked them
In +1 Upgrade Per Kill, staying alive is everything: one death drops you from Diamond or Prism back to Leather. So we rank by three things: how reliably the class gets kills, how well it survives a fight against a higher Upgrade, and how easy it is to unlock. This is our opinion based on the official class descriptions and footage, not developer stats. Exact damage numbers are to be verified.
S tier: Bomber and Firestarter
Bomber ("Primed TNT launches players. + Area damage, − Hurts you too") wins fights against groups and knocks players into the void, which counts as a kill. Firestarter ("Set the ground on fire. + Burn always lands, − Water cancels it") gets guaranteed chip damage on runners. Both were free through the Halloween quest in footage from October 23. Otherwise they cost 4k and 2k Gold.
A tier: Scorcher, Trapper and Warrior
Scorcher ("Pour lava on armored players") is the counter to MAXED players, but at 399 Robux it's the most expensive. Trapper stops combos with cobwebs and is cheap at 79 Robux. Warrior is the free starter and still solid thanks to its extra Golden Apples.
B and C tiers
Skirmisher's Warp Pearls are great for escaping with a high Upgrade, so it works well with a Gear Saver playstyle. Trickster is a cheap edge-knock class. Ghost can vanish but doesn't add damage. Archer (25 Robux) only pokes, and Seer gives information (enemy hearts) rather than kills.
Best class by situation
- New player, no Robux: Warrior, then grind Gold for Firestarter (2k).
- Protecting a high Upgrade: Skirmisher or Trapper.
- Hunting MAXED players for bonus XP: Scorcher or Bomber.
- Cheapest upgrade from Warrior: Trapper at 79 Robux.
