Last updated: 19 October 2026
Anime Apocalypse never sits still for long. Halloween Part 2 just added Demonic Union, Asta’s brand new evolution, a week after Chainsaw Devil and two weeks after Copycat shook up the top of the meta. Our Anime Apocalypse tier list ranks every ability, pet, gadget, and cosmetic in the game right now, along with traits and titles, so you know exactly where your spins, Coins, and Raid Tickets should go. Abilities are ranked for Raid damage Survival seperately because a spec that melts bosses can still fall apart in a long wave run. Check out the full rankings below!

Anime Apocalypse Ability Tier List 2026: All Abilities Ranked
Abilities are the heart of every build. Anime Apocalypse does not have units like a tower defense game. The ability you equip decides which anime character you fight as, so this list doubles as the full character ranking.
Before you read this ability tier list, Anime Apocalypse has one quirk worth knowing. Most abilities change a lot at Mastery 100, when the V skill unlocks, so we ranked everything at full Mastery. The Raid column covers boss damage and burst, while the Survival column covers how well an ability handles long wave modes like Survival and Infinite.
| Ability | Raid and Damage Tier | Survival Tier | How to Get |
| Demonic Union | S | S | Evolve Anti Magic |
| Transcendent Illusionist (EVO) | S | B | Evolve Illusionist |
| Copycat | S | A | Cursed Shibuya Raid Shop or bundle |

S-Tier Abilities
The S tier sits at the very top of our Anime Apocalypse tier list, and it is where the current meta lives. Only four abilities hold S tier in both columns: Demonic Union, Joe Kid, King of Greed, and Shadow Monarch (Evo). If you own any of those, build them without a second thought. Check out all the Anime Apocalypse abilities in this tier:
- Demonic Union: Asta’s new evolution from Halloween Part 2 and the best ability in the game right now. It brings a fresh moveset, a new ultimate with a full cutscene, and the I Will Be The Wizard King title. The catch is that you need Anti Magic first, which is one of the rarest spins in the game.
- Transcendent Illusionist (EVO): Aizen’s evolution replaces the entire Illusionist kit with one of the hardest hitting boss movesets around. It drops to B tier in Survival, so treat it as your raid weapon rather than a wave clearer.
- Copycat: Yuta’s spec from The Cursed Kid update. Its C skill has Rika slam the ground and then lets you copy a move from your other equipped ability, while its V skill sets off a big explosion and sends Rika to keep attacking on her own. Best of all, you can buy it from the Cursed Shibuya Raid Shop instead of gambling on spins.
- Chainsaw Devil: The headline ability of Halloween Part 1. It is a pure damage pick that shreds bosses, but it only reaches B tier for Survival, so pair it with a wave clearer in your second slot.
- Joe Kid: Johnny Joestar’s ability from the Steel Ball Run update. Since it holds S tier in both columns, it slots into almost any loadout.
- ELF Mage: A top raid pick that stays solid at A tier for Survival. A dependable all rounder if you land it.
- King of Greed: Regulus brings a heavy area damage kit with wide basic attacks, and it holds S tier in both modes. Pair it with the Reaper trait for the most consistent damage.
- Return by Death: Subaru’s whip kit hits hard enough for S tier raids but falls to C tier in Survival. Push it to Mastery 100, where its V skill gives you a full heal, and roll the Shinigami trait on it.
- Axe Wielder: Excellent raid damage that drops to B tier in long wave runs.
- Shadow Monarch (Evo): The evolved Sung Jinwoo kit jumps from C tier in its base form to S tier in both modes. If you already own Shadow Monarch, this evolution should be near the top of your to do list.
- The Impaler: A raid specialist that slips one step to A tier in Survival.

A-Tier Abilities
One small step below the top. Every ability here can carry raids, it is just that the newest releases pushed them down. A few of them are also the base forms of S tier evolutions, so do not delete them. Check out all the Anime Apocalypse abilities in this tier:
- Son of Sparta: Strong raid damage with B tier Survival value.
- White Reaper: Arrived with the Ghoul Awakening update in August. Great against bosses, but only C tier for Survival.
- Heavenly Vampire: A tier raid damage that slips to B in long wave runs.
- The Primordial Devil: Solid raid damage and decent B tier Survival value.
- King of Curses (Evolution): Sukuna’s evolved form is a huge jump over the base Legendary, but it struggles at C tier in Survival.
- Red Haired Pirate: Reliable raid damage with B tier Survival value.
- Moon Priest: A raid focused pick that drops to C tier in Survival.
- Coyote (Evolution): The evolved Starrk kit still hits hard, but newer abilities have pushed it out of the top spot it held over the summer.
- Eyepatch: Kaneki’s ability from the Ghoul Awakening update. A tier for raids and B tier for Survival.
- The Alpha & Omega: Strong raid numbers with C tier Survival value.
- Rimoro: From the Tempest King summer update. Raid ready, but only C tier in Survival.
- Soul Reaper: One of the few abilities that sits at A tier in both modes, which makes it a comfortable all rounder.
- Anti Magic: Only A tier for raids, but S tier in Survival, and it is the base form of Demonic Union. It has a 0.05% roll chance, or 0.5% with Lucky Spins, and no pity. If you have it, never throw it away.
- Hollow: Ulquiorra’s ability was the first limited time ability in the game. A tier for raids and S tier for Survival.
- Moon Slayer: A raid exclusive that now sits at A for raids but stays S tier for Survival.
- Coyote: The base Starrk kit. A tier for raids and B tier for Survival. Evolve it as soon as you can.
B-Tier Abilities
These abilities are good, just not great for raids anymore. The interesting part is that half of them are still S tier in Survival, so do not write them off if you mostly farm waves. Check out all the Anime Apocalypse abilities in this tier:
- Sorcerer Killer: Toji’s sword and chain kit. Unlock it through the Sorcerer Killer quest line once you reach level 25 and hold 5M Coins. It falls to D tier in Survival.
- The Almighty: The limited ability from July has fallen behind in raids, but it is still S tier for Survival.
- Ghost of Shinobi: Madara’s banner ability. B tier for raids and A tier for Survival.
- Devil Hunter: Decent raid damage, but D tier for Survival.
- Spin: Gyro Zeppeli’s kit was once the best damage ability in the game. Its raid damage has slipped to B, but it is still S tier for Survival and you can buy it from The Wild West Raid Shop.
- Illusionist: The base Aizen kit. B tier for raids, A tier for Survival, and your path to Transcendent Illusionist.
- Limitless: Gojo’s ability. B tier for raids and A tier for Survival. Get it from the Shibuya Crossing Raid Shop or as a 1% drop from the Sorcerer boss.
- Babylon: A spinnable ability that is only B tier for raids but S tier for Survival.
C-Tier Abilities
If you are wondering which older favorites have fallen off, you will find most of them here. They still work, but newer releases simply outdamage them. Check out all the Anime Apocalypse abilities in this tier:
- Destructive Fist: Akaza’s ability from the Infinity Castle Raid. C tier for raids and B tier for Survival.
- Atomic: Cid Kagenou’s kit from the Shadow Garden Raid. Weak for raids now, but still A tier for Survival.
- Shadow Monarch: The base Mythic. Its real value is evolving into Shadow Monarch (Evo).
- Head of Hei: Naoya’s quest ability. C tier for raids and A tier for Survival.
- Warrior (formerly Saiyan): The Supreme rarity ability sits at C tier in both modes after the latest wave of releases.
- Pride: Escanor’s Mythic kit. C tier for raids and B tier for Survival.
- Fire Fighter: The old Battle Pass reward. C tier for raids and D tier for Survival.
D-Tier Abilities
This is where every account starts, right at the bottom of the Anime Apocalypse tier list. Swap these out the moment anything better lands, with one exception. Check out all the Anime Apocalypse abilities in this tier:
- Crocodile: D tier for raids and C tier for Survival.
- Sosuke: D tier for raids, but surprisingly A tier for Survival. Its simple, high value moves still make it the best beginner ability for farming early Mastery.
- King of Curses: The base Legendary. Keep it only if you plan to evolve it into King of Curses (Evolution).
- Nen Prodigy: An Epic ability that gets outclassed almost immediately.
- Swordsman (formerly Zorro): The starter ability. Replace it as soon as possible.
How to Get the Newest Anime Apocalypse Abilities
The top of the meta is now packed with evolutions and raid shop abilities rather than pure spin luck. Here is how to get the newest picks on our Anime Apocalypse tier list.
How to Get Demonic Union
Demonic Union is an evolution of Anti Magic, so you need Anti Magic first. Once you have it, bring these to the evolve station:
| Requirement | Amount |
| Anti Magic Mastery | 100 |
| Invasion wins | 10 |
| Coins | 10M |
Evolving it also grants the I Will Be The Wizard King title.
How to Get Transcendent Illusionist
Transcendent Illusionist is the evolution of Illusionist, and it has almost the same requirements:
| Requirement | Amount |
| Illusionist Mastery | 100 |
| Invasion wins | 10 |
| Coins | 10M |
| Invasion drops | Required (shown at the evolve station) |
Once evolved, it shows up as Illusionist (EVOLUTION) in your ability menu. Put your upgrade points into Cooldowns first. The Transcendent Illusionist title is a separate 8% drop from the Aizen Invasion boss.
How to Get Copycat
Copycat is the most farmable S tier ability in the game. Clear the Cursed Shibuya raid to earn Cursed Coins, then spend them at the raid shop. The same shop sells the matching gear and pet, so one grind can outfit your entire build.
| Cursed Shibuya Raid Shop Item | Cost |
| Copycat (ability) | 2,500 Cursed Coins |
| Cursed Uniform (cosmetic) | 2,500 Cursed Coins |
| Cursed Sheath (cosmetic) | 1,500 Cursed Coins |
| Partial Manifestation (pet) | 1,500 Cursed Coins |
If you would rather skip the grind, the Copycat Bundle costs 960 Robux and the Pure Love Bundle costs 1,600 Robux. Owning Copycat also unlocks The Cursed Kid title instantly.
How to Get Chainsaw Devil
Chainsaw Devil arrived with Halloween Part 1 on October 3, 2026, alongside the new Devil Contracts feature, a new boss, a new gadget, and Chainsaw themed cosmetics. We are still confirming the exact unlock route, so we will add it here as soon as it is verified.
Anime Apocalypse Pet Tier List
Pets follow you around and add flat stat boosts to your build, so a good one is basically free power. In this pet tier list, Anime Apocalypse pets are ranked purely on the stats they give, with extra weight on Damage and Lifesteal since those decide how long you survive.
| Tier | Anime Apocalypse Pets |
| S Tier | Partial Manifestation, Grimoire |
| A Tier | Wheelchair, Demon Beast, Puck, Fluff Dog, Mimic Chest, Beru, Baskerville, Ice Bird, Runner Duck |
| B Tier | The Fool, Transponder Snail, Chibi Touka, Chibi Eto, Adaptation Curse, Gerard, Cyclops, Lilynette, King Cerberus, Fire Lord |
| C Tier | Shadow Panther, Rift Shark, Colossus Titan, Shield Titan, Red Commander |
| D Tier | Fox, Saw Puppy, Panda, Sunset Turtle, Medic Reindeer, Inventory Curse, Tiger, Duck, Pig, Monkey |
| Unobtainable | Divine Dog, Ragna Tempest, Slime, Tide Crab |
Best Anime Apocalypse Pets Explained
- Partial Manifestation: Rika’s pet from The Cursed Kid update gives +72% Damage, +120 HP, +3% Lifesteal, +30% Coins, +30% Drops, +25% EXP, and +10 Speed. Lifesteal is rare on pets, which is why it sits at the top. Buy it for 1,500 Cursed Coins.
- Grimoire: The newest pet from Halloween Part 2 and the other S tier pick. Its full stat line is still being confirmed, so we will add it once it is verified.
- Demon Beast: One of the two best pets in September, with +45% Damage, +110 HP, +5 Speed, 3% Lifesteal, +35% Coins, and +25% Drops.
- Puck and Fluff Dog: Both arrived with The Endless Cycle update alongside Demon Beast and remain strong A tier choices.
- Wheelchair, Mimic Chest, Beru, Baskerville, Ice Bird, and Runner Duck: Reliable A tier pets that are perfectly fine to run until you land one of the S tier picks.
- B, C, and D tier pets: Older pets with much smaller stat lines. Use them while you progress, then replace them.

Anime Apocalypse Gadget Tier List: Best Gadgets for Beginners and Endgame
Gadgets are your secondary skill, activated with E, and you can only bring one into a run. Some gadgets are amazing while you learn the game but fall off once you know boss patterns, so this Anime Apocalypse gadget tier list ranks each one for both stages.
| Gadget | Beginner Tier | Endgame Tier | What It Is Good For |
| Ice Amulet | S | S | Freezes enemies in place and keeps its crowd control value at every stage |
| Soul Candy | S | S | Strong crowd control that never falls off |
| Rage | S | S | Boosts your damage and movement speed for big burst windows on bosses |
| Black Hole | S | A | Pulls enemies into one spot and damages them, perfect for setting up area damage |
| Infinity | S | B | 15 seconds of full invulnerability, less needed once you learn boss patterns |
| Jason | A | A | A steady pick at both stages |
| Time Stop | A | A | Freezes every enemy for a short window to escape damage |
| Reishi Grenade | A | B | Good early value that drops off in the endgame |
| Supreme Will | B | B | Situational at best |
| Beacon Taunt | C | C | Draws enemy aggro away from you but adds little else |
| Medkit | D | D | Heals you and nearby allies for 50 HP, far too small to matter |
Switch your gadget before each run. Rage is the go to for boss raids, while Ice Amulet, Soul Candy, and Black Hole shine when you get swarmed in Survival and Infinite. Halloween Part 1 also added a new gadget, but there is not enough testing on it yet, so we have left it off this list until it can be ranked properly.
Anime Apocalypse Cosmetic Tier List
Cosmetics in Anime Apocalypse are not just for looks. Every piece adds Damage, Health, and other stats, so the Anime Apocalypse tier list cosmetic rankings below are based on raw stats rather than style.
| Tier | Anime Apocalypse Cosmetics |
| S Tier | Anti Magic Armor, Anti Magic Wings, Chainsaw Head, Chainsaw Arms, Chainsaw Boy Suit, Love Ring, Cursed Uniform, Greed Outfit, Transcendent Illusionist, The Eyepatch, Regulu’s Ear Ring |
| A Tier | Johnny Outfit, Cursed Sheath, Mage Outfit, Mage Staff, Shadow Armor, Priest Jacket, Axe Wielder Outfit, Level Zero, Heavenly Necklace, Menacing Letters, Tracksuit |
| B Tier | Devil’s Wings, Devil’s Outfit, Conqueror’s Casual Attire, Senior Investigator Cloak, King of Curses Cloth, Arata Proto |
| C Tier | King of Curses Mask, Eyepatch Kakuja Mask, King of Curses Marking, The Alpha & Omega’s Wings, Devil Hunter’s Wings, Devil Hunter’s Hat, Fused Amulet, Moon Outfit |
| D Tier | Dark Wings, Babylon Outfit, Shinobi Outfit, Illusionist Outfit, Hei Outfit, Battle Suit, Sorcerer Outfit, Soul Robe, Yeager Outfit, Golden Racer, Admiral Cloak, Adaptation Wheel, Shadow Cloak, Akatsuki’s Robe, Nezuko Box, Hollow Mask, ODM Gear, Truth Seeking Orbs, Straw Hat |
| Unobtainable | Holy Robe, Rimuru Outfit, Tempest Wings, Fairy Halo, Dragon Tail, Emperor Tail |
The Cursed Kid update added three of the strongest cosmetics in the game. Cursed Uniform and Cursed Sheath can both be bought with Cursed Coins, which makes them the easiest way for most players to climb this Anime Apocalypse cosmetic tier list:
| Cosmetic | Rarity | Damage | Health |
| Love Ring | Majestic | +185% | +250 |
| Cursed Uniform | Majestic | +180% | +225 |
| Cursed Sheath | Supreme | +175% | +200 |
Notice how outfits that used to be endgame gear, like the Hei Outfit, Battle Suit, and Shinobi Outfit, have now dropped all the way to D tier. Cosmetics power creep faster than anything else in the game, so do not get too attached to your current set.
Anime Apocalypse Trait Tier List
Traits add a second layer of stats on top of your ability, and the right roll can push a good ability into great territory. Traits are rolled per ability slot with Trait Rerolls, so commit to an ability before you start rolling, since swapping it out can wipe the trait you worked for.
| Trait | Tier | Why It Ranks Here |
| Reaper | S | The safest damage trait thanks to its cooldown reduction and small movement boost. A 0.5% roll that pairs best with King of Greed and raid builds. |
| Flash | S | A Mythic trait with +50% attack, +15% attack speed, +8 walkspeed, and +6% cooldown reduction. Perfect for fast, high output builds like Copycat. |
| Shinigami | A | A 0.5% roll that gives more Lifesteal, Coins, and EXP but carries a cooldown penalty. Best on Return by Death. |
| Hunter | B | The common fallback at an 8% roll and the best offensive trait outside the Mythic pool. |
| Zombie | C | Lifesteal and HP only, with no damage. |
| Fortune | C | Coins and EXP only. Fine for farming, useless in hard content. |
| Swift, Timer, Power | D | Tiny single stat bumps. Reroll them right away. |
Anime Apocalypse Title Tier List
Titles are the biggest flat stat boosts on the whole Anime Apocalypse tier list, and the newest ones now give close to triple damage. Here is how they stack up:
| Tier | Anime Apocalypse Titles |
| SS Tier | The Cursed Kid, The Great Mage, No.1 Jockey, Transcendent Illusionist, The Petrified Warrior, Shadow Emperor, Bird of Hermes, Reached the Heaven, Gravity Manipulator, The King of Greed, Senior Investigator, One Eyed King, Strongest in History |
| S Tier | The Almighty, The Number One, Son of Sparta, The Alpha & Omega, #1 Special Threat, Tempest King, Sorcerer Killer, King of Despair, Slime King |
| A Tier | World 5, True Upper Moon, Wizard King, The Strongest, King of Heroes, The Legendary Devil Hunter, Ghost of Shinobi, The Mastermind, Cowboy |
| B Tier | King Desert, Atomic, Upper Moon, Wealthy, Fire Lord, Infinite Champion, Early Player, Fleet Admiral, Culling Winner, Head of the Hei |
| C Tier | Zombie Slayer, Dungeon Master, Collector, Boss Reaper, Immortal, Monster Hunter, Parkour Legend, Speedrunner, Golden Assassin, Survivor |
| D Tier | The Pirate Hunter, Nen Prodigy, King of Curses, Shadow Monarch, Sin of Pride, Super Warrior |
| Special | Tester, Early Access, Content Creator, Steel Ball Run |
| TBA | I Will Be The Wizard King, Waves Champion |
The Cursed Kid is the easiest top title to get right now, since it unlocks the moment you own Copycat. It gives +200% Damage, +150 Health, +8 Walkspeed, +40% Coins, +35% EXP, +15% Drops, and +5% CD Reduction. World 5 still has great stats, but it is locked behind a top five leaderboard spot, so most players should chase the others first. The two Halloween Part 2 titles will be ranked once their stats are confirmed.
What Changed in the Anime Apocalypse Meta Recently?
The developers have shipped a major update almost every week since September, and each one reshuffled the top of the Anime Apocalypse tier list. Here is what landed and why the rankings look so different from a month ago:
| Update | Release Date | What It Added |
| The Endless Cycle | September 5, 2026 | Return by Death, King of Greed, Guild Battles, Season 5 Battle Pass, Demon Beast, Puck, Fluff Dog, Greed Outfit, Mage Outfit, Tracksuit |
| Steel Ball Run | September 12, 2026 | Joe Kid, Johnny Outfit, a new game mode, and a new boss |
| The Cursed Kid | September 26, 2026 | Copycat, the Cursed Shibuya raid, Love Ring, Cursed Uniform, Cursed Sheath, Partial Manifestation, The Cursed Kid title |
| Halloween Part 1 | October 3, 2026 | Chainsaw Devil, Devil Contracts, a new boss, a new gadget, Chainsaw themed cosmetics |
| Halloween Part 2 | October 10, 2026 | Demonic Union, Grimoire pet, Anti Magic Armor, Anti Magic Wings, Waves Champion title |
The biggest losers were the summer favorites. Son of Sparta, White Reaper, Heavenly Vampire, The Primordial Devil, and King of Curses (Evolution) all held S tier for raids in late September and now sit in A. Heavenly Vampire and Axe Wielder also slipped from A to B in Survival, while Limitless and Soul Reaper dropped out of the Survival S tier.
Best Anime Apocalypse Builds for Raids, Survival, and F2P
Knowing the tiers is one thing, but the strongest players combine them into one loadout. You can run two abilities at once, so pair a boss killer with a wave clearer whenever you can. Here are three builds based on the current Anime Apocalypse tier list:
| Build | Abilities | Trait | Gadget | Pets | Cosmetics |
| Raid Boss Build | Demonic Union and Copycat | Reaper | Rage | Partial Manifestation and Grimoire | Love Ring and Anti Magic Armor |
| Survival and Infinite Build | Demonic Union and King of Greed | Flash | Ice Amulet | Grimoire and Demon Beast | Anti Magic Armor and Anti Magic Wings |
| F2P Raid Shop Build | Copycat and Spin | Hunter until you roll Reaper or Flash | Rage or Black Hole | Partial Manifestation | Cursed Uniform and Cursed Sheath |
The raid build works because Copycat can borrow moves from Demonic Union through its C skill, which gives you even more burst during boss windows. The F2P build is the one to aim for if you do not want to gamble, since almost every piece of it comes from raid shops instead of spins.
How We Built This Tier List: Anime Apocalypse Ranking Factors
We tracked a few clear factors for every item before placing it in a tier. Picks that score well across most of them rank higher, while picks that only shine in one narrow situation sit lower. Check out the factors we used:
- Raid Damage: How fast an ability or item melts bosses in raids, where burst windows and single target damage matter most.
- Survival Value: How well it handles long Survival and Infinite runs, where crowd control, area damage, and sustain matter more than raw burst.
- Mastery 100 Scaling: Most abilities change completely once the V skill unlocks, so we ranked everything at full Mastery rather than base form.
- Stat Lines: Pets, cosmetics, titles, and traits are mostly stat sticks, so we compared their actual numbers, giving extra weight to Damage and Lifesteal.
- Community Rankings: We cross checked our placements with community rankings, update notes, and early testing of the Halloween releases, so this Roblox Anime Apocalypse tier list reflects how players are actually building right now.
No tier list Anime Apocalypse players share stays accurate for long, because new content drops almost every week. We will keep updating this Anime Apocalypse tier list as the meta moves.
Anime Apocalypse Tips for Beginners and F2P Players
You do not need every S tier pick on this Anime Apocalypse tier list to clear most content. Follow these tips and your account will grow much faster:
- Redeem codes before you spin – New codes drop with almost every update and hand out Lucky Spins, Trait Rerolls, and Raid Tickets.
- Use the pity system – Ability spins guarantee a Legendary at 50 spins and a Mythic at 100, and Lucky Spins raise your Mythic chance from 0.8% to around 3%.
- Never delete evolution bases – Anti Magic, Illusionist, Coyote, King of Curses, and Shadow Monarch all evolve into much stronger versions.
- Farm the Cursed Shibuya raid – It gives you an S tier ability, an S tier pet, and two top cosmetics without spending a single spin.
- Upgrade Cooldown first – Each ability has 7 upgrades split between Damage, Cooldown, and Walkspeed. Cooldown gives the most value, and resetting upgrades costs Coins without refunding what you spent.
- Grind Mastery to 100 – Mastery 75 adds a big damage boost and Mastery 100 unlocks the V skill, which is what pushes most abilities into their real tier.
- Swap gadgets between modes – Run Rage for raids and Ice Amulet or Black Hole for Survival and Infinite.

No. Anime Apocalypse is a hack and slash zombie game, not a tower defense game, so there are no units to place. Your abilities decide which anime character you play as, which makes the ability tier list the closest thing to a unit or character ranking.

Copycat is the best ability you can get without gambling on spins. Clear the Cursed Shibuya raid, collect 2,500 Cursed Coins, and buy it from the raid shop.
What is the best trait in Anime Apocalypse?
Reaper is the safest damage trait, while Flash is best for fast, high output builds. Shinigami is the pick for Return by Death if you want extra Lifesteal and farming value.

Demonic Union and Anti Magic are Asta from Black Clover, Copycat and Limitless are Yuta and Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen, Illusionist is Aizen from Bleach, Spin and Joe Kid are Gyro and Johnny from Steel Ball Run, and Return by Death is Subaru from Re:Zero. If you want to watch the shows behind your favorite abilities, start with our list of the best anime to watch on Crunchyroll.
How often does the Anime Apocalypse tier list change?
Very often. Five major updates landed between September 5 and October 10, 2026, and almost every one of them changed the top of the meta. The game is also still in beta on Roblox, so expect regular balance changes and check back after every patch.
