Bathtub Universe Tier List

How We Rank Morphs

Our Bathtub Universe tier list evaluates every morph across combat effectiveness, Dollar cost efficiency, ability kit versatility, and performance in post-Update 16 FFA lobbies. Old Game Federations rebalanced multiple morphs in the latest patch, shifting several units up or down the rankings.

We test each morph in live PvP combat across multiple map zones, measuring kill potential, survivability, mobility, and skill floor. A morph that dominates in one scenario but fails elsewhere receives a tier reflecting its overall consistency. Rankings update after every major patch.

Tiers are organized into three pages: S-tier for the strongest morphs, A-tier for excellent mid-to-high picks, and budget picks for affordable options under 1,000 Dollars.

S-Tier — The Meta Dominators

S-tier morphs define the competitive meta. These units have the highest damage output, best survivability, or most oppressive ability kits in the game. Current S-tier picks include G-Man Phase 4 (multi-laser barrage), Chief Scientist Mech (quest-unlocked cannon mech), Upgraded Titan Cameraman (titan stomp area denial), Tank Skibidi Bathtub (code-exclusive armor and cannon), and Astro Detainer (detainment grab).

Most S-tier morphs cost 3,500–5,000 Dollars or require quest completion. However, the Apologize code grants Tank Skibidi Bathtub for free — making S-tier accessible to all players who redeem promptly. Read the full S-tier breakdown for ability details and matchup advice.

A-Tier — Strong and Cost-Effective

A-tier morphs compete closely with S-tier in skilled hands but have identifiable weaknesses — shorter range, lower HP, or longer ability cooldowns. Standouts include G-Man Phase 3, Large TV Man, Dark Speakerman, Scientist Toilet, Cinemaman, and Flying Sawblade Skibidi Bathtub (from the 1K LIKES code).

A-tier represents the best Dollar-to-power ratio for players grinding toward S-tier. Most A-tier morphs cost 1,200–2,000 Dollars — achievable within a few focused farming sessions using our Dollar farming guide. See the complete A-tier rankings for detailed comparisons.

Budget Picks — Best Value Under 1,000 Dollars

Not every player has 5,000 Dollars for Chief Scientist Mech on day one. Budget morphs under 1,000 Dollars provide solid combat performance while you grind toward premium units. Top budget picks include Large Cameraguy (500 Dollars), Skibidi Toilet (600 Dollars), Police Cameraguy (700 Dollars), TV Man (800 Dollars), and Glitch Toilet (400 Dollars) for mobility.

Code-exclusive morphs like Plunger Cameraguy (from For Plunger) also qualify as budget picks since they cost nothing beyond code redemption. Explore all affordable options on the budget tier page and the starter morphs guide for free units.
