Be The Final Boss Tier List

Early Access Ranking Notice

Be The Final Boss launched in Early Access, which means balance changes frequently and the community is still discovering optimal strategies. Every tier list on this wiki is labeled Early Access Ranking — provisional placements based on initial testing, not final meta gospel. Revisit rankings after major patches and adjust your investments accordingly.

Apparently Champions may buff underused minions, rework weapons, or shift skill tree costs without long lead times. We update tiers when consensus shifts across multiple high-wave players or when developers confirm balance intentions on @ApparentlyGames.

How We Rank

Tier placements weigh wave clear speed, castle safety margin, currency efficiency, and accessibility for players without premium advantages. A top-tier minion that costs prohibitive Souls may rank slightly lower for beginners even if veterans love it at wave twenty. Builds integrate minions, weapons, and skills rather than ranking isolated units only.

S tier indicates dominant Early Access options worth prioritizing. A tier is strong and reliable. B tier is viable with good placement or synergy. C tier needs buffs or niche situations. D tier is generally avoided until balance changes. Unranked entries lack enough data — common at launch.

Tier List Categories

Three dedicated pages break down rankings: minions for Soul-funded units holding hero paths, weapons for Coin-funded boss combat tools, and builds for full loadouts combining skill tree branches with unit and weapon choices.

Read the relevant strategy guide before copying a tier list pick. Rankings assume competent wave defense and reasonable skill investments. A top-tier weapon on a player who neglects minions still underperforms.

Using Tier Lists Wisely

Tier lists accelerate learning; they do not replace understanding why a pick is strong. When you unlock a B-tier minion early and an S-tier minion late, use the B-tier on your main path until Souls afford the upgrade path for S-tier. Sinking Souls into a unit you cannot upgrade yet is a common Early Access mistake.

Pair tier reading with the build planner and active codes for resource planning. betheboss grants 700 Coins and 50 Souls — enough to jump-start an A-tier minion line without waiting for passive farming.

Community Feedback

Because no official wiki exists, community testing drives these lists. High-wave screenshots, clear times, and castle health remaining at wave end all inform adjustments. If you consistently outperform tier expectations with a C-tier pick, placement may lag reality — report findings through site channels.

Watch for tier shakeups when new heroes appear in waves or when castle damage formulas change. Hero wave scaling interacts with every ranking on this hub. Cross-reference hero wave mechanics when a formerly stable build suddenly fails at the same wave number.
