THE TSUNAMI GAME Tier List
Honest S/A/B priorities for waves, items, weapons, and rebirth timing in THE TSUNAMI GAME — meta shifts expected.
This tier list ranks practical priorities in THE “TSUNAMI GAME” (place 94743262954649 by WE BLUDDIN OUT OF THIS ONE): which waves to respect, which item rarities deserve plot space, when weapons matter, and how hard to push each rebirth gate. Rankings are community-informed guidance, not a lab spreadsheet. Patches, events, and lobby size move the meta — treat S/A/B as habits, not eternal law, and never trust invented DPS numbers.
Use this page together with the Players / items hub, Waves hub, Rebirth Guide, Events hub, and Bosses hub.
How to Read These Tiers
S-Tier — Do this almost every session. Skipping it usually costs more time than it saves.
A-Tier — Strong defaults. Great when the lobby and wave pool cooperate.
B-Tier — Situational or early-game. Fine tools that get replaced as rebirth climbs.
C-Tier — Niche or entertainment-first. Use for breaks, not as a progression plan.
Honest caveat: if an update rebalances income, weapon unlocks, or event rotations, re-test instead of arguing from an old clip. This wiki will not invent fake damage charts to look authoritative.
Waves Priority Tier List
S-Tier Waves and Habits
- Helpful waves (healing, coin, item-positive cues): always contest when safe. They fund the plot without gambling your life bar.
- Lava wave awareness: required setup piece for Wall of Flesh. Knowing when lava is up is an S-tier skill even if you are not summoning yet.
- Wave-indicator discipline: reading the next cue before greed is worth more than any single meme wave.
A-Tier Waves
- Speed / mobility-positive waves: shorten collection loops after a rebirth when your multipliers are weak.
- Coin-positive waves: accelerate the spend-before-reset loop.
- High-severity windows in full lobbies: scarier, but better for meaningful drops when you already unlocked the rarity band.
B-Tier Waves
- Meme / troll waves (Boombox overlays, joke audio, jumpscare flavors): fun, sometimes obstruct vision, rarely your best farm plan.
- Painful waves you can outplay: worth learning, not worth ego-challenging every time with a full carry bar.
C-Tier Approach
Standing in every chaotic wave for clips while Commons rot on the ground. Entertainment is fine — just do not call it optimization.

Items and Rarity Priority
Plot space is limited in practice even when the inventory feels large. Prioritize by unlock band and income quality, not by hype names from other games.
S-Tier Collection Priorities
- Highest unlocked rarity that actually drops in your lobby — a Rare in a full server beats a theoretical Secret you cannot roll yet.
- Replacing Commons after R1–R2 — dead weight on the plot slows the whole loop.
- Event-mutated valuables during Golden / Pancake windows — temporary spikes that outpace normal rotation when you are prepared.
A-Tier
- Epic / Legendary fillers at R3–R4 once Commons and weak Uncommons are gone.
- Carry-capacity upgrades timed before rare-hunting sessions so you stop leaving value on the floor.
- Short routes near the plot after every rebirth rebuild.
B-Tier
- Holding duplicate low-tier pieces “just in case” instead of swapping for the next band.
- Long sightseeing runs at low speed hoping for miracles in a three-player lobby.
Full rarity gates (Common → Secret, R1–R6, R10) are documented on the Players hub and Rebirth Guide.
Weapons Priority (No Fake DPS)
Weapons unlock and matter more as rebirth climbs. Without published patch-proof damage tables, rank by role:
S-Tier Weapon Habits
- Defend income during contested drops once Rare/Epic plots are valuable.
- Bring your best available loadout to coordinated boss attempts, especially Wall of Flesh groups that already meet Rebirth 6+ expectations.
- Do not start ego PvP that pulls you off a helpful wave while your carry bar is empty and the plot needs feeding.
A-Tier
- Mid-progression weapons for plot defense and light contests.
- Saving serious fights for fuller lobbies where the risk matches the reward.
B-Tier
- Early weapons used as toys while Commons still dominate the plot.
- Chasing players across the map during Stinky or other low-stakes farm windows.
If a creator posts a new weapon showcase after a patch, re-rank by feel in your rebirth band — do not copy fabricated DPS lists.
Rebirth Priority Tier List
S-Tier Rebirth Moves
- Spend every coin before confirming — temporary upgrades should already be bought.
- Take R1 and R2 promptly once Uncommon/Rare clearly beat another long stall.
- Push R6 when you want Secret access and serious boss readiness, then keep climbing toward R10 for full unlockable content.
A-Tier Timing
- R3–R4 when Epic/Legendary would transform plot value more than one more expensive speed level.
- R5 when Mythical farming and late events are your real bottleneck.
B-Tier Mistakes
- Hoarding a fat wallet “for later”.
- Rebirthing mid-event when you planned to farm the window.
- Ignoring lobby size after Rare unlocks and blaming the game for empty drops.
Event and Boss Context
Events rotate on a rough global cadence and can outrank normal farming for a short window. Golden and Pancake lean reward-heavy; Blood Moon is high risk and high tension; Stinky is the safer farm break. Bosses cannot be summoned during active events — plan boss nights separately from event greed.
Session Templates
New / post-rebirth session: rebuild speed → short helpful-wave loops → fill plot → spend → consider next rebirth.
Rare-hunting session: join a fuller lobby → unlock check on the rarity table → short contested loops → hop if dead for too long.
Boss-ready session: confirm no event → check Rebirth 6+ presence for Wall of Flesh → lava wave + doll prep → group weapons, not solo heroics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions about THE TSUNAMI GAME.
How often does this tier list change?
Whenever patches, event rotations, or weapon unlocks change the feel of progression. Treat rankings as living habits, not frozen DPS tables.
Why are there no exact DPS numbers?
Public patch-proof damage sheets are unreliable for this title. We rank weapons by role — defense, boss readiness, and not wasting helpful-wave windows — instead of inventing stats.
What should beginners prioritize?
Helpful waves, plot speed then carry, spend-before-rebirth, and R1–R2 rarity unlocks in fuller lobbies. Skip boss ego trips on day one.
Is Secret always S-tier loot?
Secret is the top rebirth-gated band at R6, but a Rare that actually drops in a full lobby beats a Secret you cannot roll yet.
When is Rebirth 6 worth pushing?
When you want Secret access and more serious Wall of Flesh group readiness. Keep climbing toward R10 for full unlockable content.
Do events change the tier list?
Yes. Golden and Pancake can temporarily outrank normal farming; Blood Moon raises risk; bosses stay blocked during active events.
