Complete How many Dudes? Dude type tier list

I have used four different tiers to separate the Dude types available in the game.

  • S-tier Dude types are the best available ones.
  • A-tier Dude types are suitable alternatives to S-tier options.
  • B-tier Dude types are extremely situational.
  • C-tier Dude types should be drafted only as a last resort.

S-tier

NameReason
AgentDeals good damage and offers a 15% chance to dash to a teammate to help them gain temporary health for 8 seconds. Can help an ally to avoid death in certain situations when triggered.
BardBuffs the Attack Power and Run Speed of four random Dudes
ChefProvides healing Burgers for the squad.
ClericProvide heals every two seconds to injured Dudes within radius.
FarmerOne of the best tanks in the game, as it has high natural toughness and donates 50% of restored HP to the most injured ally.
LichCan store part of its incoming damage in Thralls. Then, the stored damage can be explained as true damage, and it also heals the Thrall.
MutantComes with a 50% chance to create a Floofball that can attach to allies and provide heals.
Ninja Great at amplifying damage with additional Shurikens whenever it lands a direct hit.
QuantumGenerates an Echo Dude every five seconds, and heals the most injured ally by 50% of his DPS.
SpartanDecent chance at blocking all incoming damage towards nearby allies.

A-tier

NameReason
AlienBeams one of its allies above it on the roster to target and attack the enemy with the lowest HP.
AssassinInjects Toxins into an enemy that reduces Attack Power by 5% for 5 seconds. While it can stack up to three times, the impact could have been higher.
Construction20% chance to toss a Hammer when doing damage, which deals 50% of his Attack Power and taunt.
DentistIt can provide Novocaine to other Dudes that reduces incoming attack by 3%. This allows your squad to stay alive for longer.
DruidTransforms into a bear after 10 direct damages. It gains attack power and cleave damage for three seconds, but the benefits are limited to only the Druid Dude.
ElectricianAgainst a static charge, 10 of them will ensure that his next attack does a static shock. This does a large amount of damage to an enemy, but having AOE would have made this dude an S-tier.
ExplorerProvides emergency heal whenever a teammate’s HP falls below 30%. The heal recharges every 3 seconds.
FrankendudeIt has high natural regeneration and also donates 10% of its HP to the two most injured allies. The rate of healing could have been higher, but it’s still an excellent addition to any roster.
GhostOffers 30% chance to equalize the HP of your most injured ally and the one with the most health, before healing both of them.
ManagerIt can pick allies as interns and store 15% of all the damage they do. It can be used to nuke a specific target. Great against single, isolated enemies, but not much use elsewhere.
MedicHeals allies by doing damage to enemies, but there are better healers in the roster.
MummyAdds a secondary damage mechanism in the form of Doom. Triggers when the enemy’s HP falls below the Doom level.
PirateDecent at taunting enemies and gaining evasion.

B-tier

NameReason
CowboyCan move a roster dude to dash to his side, but not much use else.
Cyborg25% chance to stack 1% Attack Power upon damage, but only to other Cyborg Dudes.
FinanceGenerates extra revenue, but only if you have other Finance Dudes on your team.
GeneralCan make allies taunt enemies, but occasionally that can prove to be detrimental.
HackerProvides exploits that buff the damage done by any ally. However, it comes with a 4-second cooldown, which makes it slightly weak in the meta.
KnightDecent at taunting enemies but doesn’t offer anything else.
NecrodudeGreat at summoning Skeledudes to fill the team, but not much use overall.
PaladinProvides additional protection by reducing damage taken, but the rates are quite low.
RangerGreat at doing additional damage, but at variance (25%).

C-tier

NameReason
CaveDoes Unga Bunga (no, literally).
PsionicProvides taunts, but there are better alternatives listed in the tables above.
RegularGains HP and Attack Power, but only if you have plenty of Regular Dudes in your team.
SamuraiGreat at finishing enemies with the lowest HP.

I have yet to unlock a few Dude types that are in the current version of the game. Once I assess them, I will add my impressions.
