All 99 Nights in the Forest classes and a class tier list

Gems are hard to come by, but maybe a 99 Nights in the Forest class tier list will spare you from making any bad, hasty decisions while browsing the class shop. I’ve survived well over 1,000 days against the Deer, Crossbow Cultists, and all manner of event creatures—so I’ve definitely got some thoughts on what class is best and for who.

Whether you want to know what the best singleplayer classes are or need recommendations for big group survival, I’ve got a handy 99 Nights in the Forest class tier list covering every scenario.

All 99 Nights in the Forest classes ranked

Before making a choice, consider your playstyle and goals. Some classes are great in multiplayer, but a bummer if you’re trying to survive alone. Then there’s the whole what’s the best value consideration when there’s a finite number of 99 Nights in the Forest codes, and spending Robux gets expensive.

99 Nights in the Forest overall class tier list
S-Tier	Big Game Hunter, Cyborg, Necromancer
A-Tier	Assassin, Beastmaster, Brawler, Chef, Fire Bandit, Gambler, Lumberjack
B-Tier	Alien, Berserker, Blacksmith, Poison Master, Pyromaniac
C-Tier	Base Defender, Cook, Farmer, Fisherman, Medic, Ranger, Scavenger, Undead
D-Tier	Camper, Decorator, Support, Hunter, Zookeeper

Which 99 Nights in the Forest class should I start with?

I started as a Scavenger since it only costs 25 diamonds, and I love the additional sack space, but you may progress faster with the Lumberjack (70 diamonds) or Alien (100 diamonds). All three are perfectly versatile in solo or group settings, though I’d see Scavenger as a stepping stone to one of the latter classes.

The Lumberjack’s Good Axe and buff to log drops make for a strong early game, and its second perk increases chances for extra saplings to plant around your base. I’d say it’s the better long-term investment, but more offensive players may prefer the Alien—I’m just not a fan of its kit and found it outclassed by my ultimate goal of obtaining Cyborg.

What’s the best 99 Nights in the Forest class for solo survival?

Cyborg is still widely regarded as the best 99 Nights in the Forest class for any circumstance, and I’ve found it the most consistent for an easy run from start to finish. I’d recommend it first, but Big Game Hunter is good for long runs thanks to its permanent buffs. I’m also starting to think of Necromancer as a late-game runner-up.

Early game Necromancer is rough, but it picks up after summoning a few cultists. Its army of undead can take damage and die (again), but you can always resurrect them with souls from an invasion. The Cyborg is nice since you’ll never worry about a source of ammo, but if you can resurrect a Cultist King, it’ll kill most foes before they register an attack.

What are the best 99 Nights in the Forest co-op classes?

While a five-player group of Cyborgs sounds nice, it grows harder and harder to survive on limited resources. I find taking a couple of support-style classes, such as the Lumberjack, Chef, Blacksmith, or Base Defender, is the most helpful.

The best choices depend on team composition—for instance, you don’t want two Blacksmiths making each other’s perks useless—but tossing in a few resource buffs ensures the group won’t suffer through the late game. Just remember that difficulty scales based on team size, so don’t set up for a five-player lobby with only three people.
