Dark Journey is another take on the popular Dead Rails formula that’s currently trending in Roblox. This time, it’s a familiar medieval take on the formula. We board a cart, feed our horse, and see how much we can survive traveling while gathering as many valuable items along the way. Of course, things are much easier if we equip the right class and bring the right items. To help you out, we made this complete Dark Journey tier list for classes, weapons, and items.

Dark Journey Class Tier List

There are several classes in Dark Journey, and most of them can be unlocked by spending Dabux. You can get Dabux by collecting them throughout the game or by spending Robux. Some classes in Dark Journey can only be unlocked through gameplay. Down below, we’ll list all classes currently in the game and rank them accordingly.
S-Tier
Because you can’t really tell the difference between each class, we’re going to put items and enemies that best associate with each class.
| Class | Unlock | Starting items and passives | Info |
|---|---|---|---|
![]() Vampire | Eliminate Vampire Lord | – Dark Sword – Increases move speed by 20% | The movement speed is nice, but where the Vampire shines is the ability to heal with each hit. The best class for solo play by far and a great addition to any party |
![]() Noble | 100 Dabux | – Mercenary Reduces mercenary prices by 25% | If you have an army of 10 Mercenaries with Muskets, you can pretty much win the game by yourself. The Noble starts with one and gets a nice discount when recruiting new ones. Not to mention, Mercenaries don’t need bullets. It feels almost like a cheat. |
A-Tier
| Class | Unlock | Starting items and passives | Info |
|---|---|---|---|
![]() Merchant | Like and join the Roblox Group | – 100 Coins – Reduces food prices by 25% | If you’re just learning the game, there isn’t a better class than this. With 100 gold, you can shape your Merchant to be whatever you want. Try all weapons, see what works for you, and just roll with it. Amazing class during early game. |
Swordman | 25 Dabux | – Sword – Increases sword speed by 50% | Enemies in Dark Journey hit very slow, and with 50% sword speed, you’ll kill them before they even get a chance to fight back. Just don’t use other weapons and you’ll be a killing machine. |
![]() Farmer | 100 Dabux | – Chicken – Pig – Reduces animal prices by 50% | Chickens and Pigs are similar to mercenaries. They are great, and Chickens can even multiply if you are lucky. However, unlike Mercenaries who fire from a distance, the animals just charge at enemies and take a lot of damage, often dying. Because of this, the Farmer just isnt’ as good. |
B-Tier
| Class | Unlock | Starting items and passives | Info |
|---|---|---|---|
![]() Bomber | 75 Dabux | – 4 x Bomb – Torch – Reduce damage from explosion – Reduce mobm prices by 50% | Bombers are amazing… as long as they have bombs. If you can make sure you place your bombs correctly (and not kill your group members and yourself), you can take down entire armies. The problem is: you always need bombs. |
![]() Priest | – Purify 100 Evil Corpses (sell monster corpses to the church for money) | – 2 x Crucifix – 2 x Holy Water – Reduce Crucifix prices by 50% | If you can arm a Priest with Crucifixes you can dominate the battlefield. However, if you are fighting non-monsters, then the Priest is very average. |
Doctor | 25 Dabux | – 4 x Herb – Reduce herb prices by 50% | The dedicated healer. Heal yourself and the party with Herbs, especially with the passive. However, you aren’t great in a fight. Definitely fit for groups but not great solo. |
C-Tier
| Class | Unlock | Starting items and passives | Info |
|---|---|---|---|
![]() Pirate | 50 Dabux | – Pistol – 10 x Pistol Ammo – Reduces Pistol reload speed by 25% | Guns are somewhat unreliable in Dark Journey because they take too long to reload. Not only that but you need ammo for each gun type. This is why we don’t like the Pirate class very much |
Gunman | 25 Dabux | – Musket – 10 x Mustket Ammo – Reduces Musket reload speed by 25% | Same as Pirate, but you start with a Musket… which takes even longer to reload. |
Dark Journey Weapon Tier List

Even though there aren’t that many weapons in Dark Journey, some are just more useful than others. Here is our list:
S-Tier
| Weapon | Info |
|---|---|
Spear | What makes spears great? They can pierce through enemies. In fact, in one good spear thrust, you can damage up to 4 enemies. If you funnel the enemies into a straight line, you can destroy them all with a Spear. |
![]() Mercenary | Mercenaries have Muskets, but they never run out of bullets, and you can carry them around |
A-Tier
| Weapon | Info |
|---|---|
Sword | Swords are great. They swing fast, do a lot of damage, and are great in any situation. Not as effective as Spears, but still great, especially if you are a Swordman. |
![]() Crucifix | These items can banish monsters. Very useful to have, no matter which class you play as. |
B-Tier
| Weapon | Info |
|---|---|
![]() Pig | Similar to Chickens, except they can’t multiply as easily. They do hit harder, so it’s not bad to have a few. |
![]() Chicken | A Chicken isn’t all that powerful on itself. But if you buy a few of them, use their Eggs to get more, and maybe even use the Farmer class, you’ll have an army of unstoppable domestic birds. Unfortunately, they do like to charge at enemies and often die too easily. |
C-Tier
| Weapon | Info |
|---|---|
![]() Pistol | Powerful, but can only fire one shot at a time, and the reload takes forever. |
Musket | Same as Pistol, but more powerful, and reloading takes even longer. |
Dark Journey Item Tier List

Weapons and Classes are nice, but you will also need to know about the best items in Dark Journey. These can definitely turn the tide of battle, especially if you get creative with them. We will only be covering non-weapon items. Here is our list:
S-Tier
| Item | Info |
|---|---|
Plank | What can you do with a Plank? Only everything. Place it on your cart and make a barricade. Turn it into a ladder so you can climb on top of your card and gun down enemies. It’s incredible how much simple wooden planks can help |
A-Tier
| Item | Info |
|---|---|
Herb | Herbs heal you and your teammates. That’s all you need to know |
![]() Holy Water | A cup of Holy Water can revive a party member. Only useful if you’re playing in a group. You can’t revive yourself with Holy Water. |
B-Tier
| Item | Info |
|---|---|
![]() Bomb | Bombs explode when you light them up. If done right, you can take out an entire army. If done wrong, you can take out your own party. Practice makes perfect. |
![]() Torch | Hits harder than a stick and it can light bombs. |
C-Tier
| Item | Info |
|---|---|
![]() Food (Any) | There’s very little reason why you’d want to buy Food from merchants especially when you can feed your horse corpses of enemies. The only time we buy food items is when we start a new run. |
That’s all there is to it. Have fun playing Dark Journey. If you need a similar Roblox game to sink your teeth into, check out Dead Spells.
