Love is definitely in the air for Fortnite players this ! The Fortnite Valentine’s Day Event is right around the…
If you’ve been grinding Escape Tsunami for Brainrots, you already know that choosing the right brainrots can make or break your progression. I’ve spent countless hours testing every brainrot across multiple rebirth cycles, speed upgrades, and Admin Abuse events to bring you this definitive tier list. This isn’t just another ranking – it’s your roadmap to maximizing passive income and dominating the tsunami survival game.
Before diving into individual brainrots, let me give you a quick snapshot of what separates game-changing collectibles from wasteful inventory space:
| Tier | Income Range | Rarity | When to Prioritize |
|---|---|---|---|
| S Tier | $1.5M – $1.9M/s | Celestial | Endgame only (300+ speed) |
| A+ Tier | $450K – $1M/s | Secret | Late game (several rebirths) |
| A Tier | $150K – $400K/s | Secret/Cosmic | Transition to endgame |
| B Tier | $70K – $130K/s | Cosmic | Mid-to-late game |
| C Tier | $22K – $60K/s | Cosmic/Mythical | Mid-game progression |
| D Tier | $6K – $21K/s | Mythical | Early-to-mid game |
| F Tier | $2 – $5K/s | Common-Legendary | Starter phase only |
After grinding through over 60 brainrots across nine different rarities, I’ve identified three critical factors that separate must-have brainrots from inventory clutter:
Money Per Second (MPS) Generation: The best brainrots generate hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars per second at base level. This passive income directly accelerates your progression, funding speed upgrades and rebirth cycles that unlock even better brainrots.
Accessibility vs. Reward Ratio: Some high-rarity brainrots look impressive on paper but require extreme speed stats to reach safely. The sweet spot? Brainrots that offer outstanding returns relative to the risk involved in collecting them. Secret-tier brainrots often hit this balance perfectly.
Scalability with Rebirths: The true power of top-tier brainrots reveals itself after multiple rebirths. Your permanent money multiplier transforms even moderate earners into powerhouses. This is why Celestial and Secret brainrots remain valuable indefinitely – they scale exponentially with your rebirth count.
Bad brainrots generate minimal income that barely impacts your earnings. Some units might have impressive rarity names but don’t produce enough money to justify the dangerous runs required to collect them. When you’re risking tsunami waves to reach distant spawn zones, you want collectibles that make a real difference in your passive income, not just minor improvements.
S-tier brainrots represent the absolute pinnacle of passive income in Escape Tsunami for Brainrots. These are exclusively Celestial rarity collectibles that spawn every 15 minutes in zones beyond the Secret area, requiring maximum speed stats (300+) to access safely.
| Brainrot | Money/Second | Why It’s S Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Esok Sekolah | $1,900,000/s | The strongest brainrot in the entire game. If you can reach it consistently, this single unit can fund everything else you need. Absolute endgame priority. |
| Alessio | $1,800,000/s | Currently one of the highest MPS brainrots available. Difficult to reach but trivializes money problems once obtained. Veteran players prioritize Alessio after multiple rebirths. |
| Bisonte Gupitere | $1,700,000/s | Elite-tier income generation. Not quite as insane as Esok Sekolah, but still carries entire late-game bases single-handedly. |
| Dug Dug Dug | $1,600,000/s | A monster of a brainrot. Once you grab this Celestial, your income skyrockets. Sits far from spawn, requiring serious speed upgrades, but the payoff is massive. |
| Job Job Sahur | $1,500,000/s | The “entry-level” Celestial, but don’t let that fool you – it generates more money per second than entire floors of lower-tier brainrots combined. |
When to Target S Tier: Only attempt Celestial runs once you have 300+ speed, multiple rebirths completed, and can consistently navigate to the Secret area. Rushing Celestials without preparation usually ends in failure and wasted time.
Pro Strategy: Celestials spawn on a 15-minute timer rather than being permanently available. Camp the Celestial section, ride out waves in safe zones, and wait for the next spawn window. Never get greedy – if you’re holding a Celestial, return to base immediately. A banked Celestial is worth infinitely more than a lost one.
A+ tier brainrots spawn more reliably than Celestials in the Secret area and offer outstanding returns that justify the high speed requirements. These are usually realistic targets once you have several rebirths under your belt and your speed upgrades make earlier sections trivial.
| Brainrot | Money/Second | Why It’s A+ Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Fragola La La La | $1,000,000/s | The bridge between Secret and Celestial tiers. Generates seven-figure income without the 15-minute spawn timer. Absolutely essential for late-game progression. |
| Rainbow 67 | $800,000/s | Consistently available in the Secret area. Building a base around Rainbow 67 dramatically increases passive income before you can reliably farm Celestials. |
| Aura Farma | $700,000/s | Your turning point brainrot. If you can reach the Secret area with decent success rate, rush a full floor of Aura Farma before obsessing over Celestials. |
| Los Tungtungtungcitos | $500,000/s | Half a million per second makes this a game-changer. Far easier to obtain than Celestials while still providing massive income. |
| Espresso Signora | $450,000/s | The “entry point” to six-figure passive income. Once you can reliably collect Espresso Signora, you’ve entered the late game. |
When to Target A+ Tier: These become realistic once you’ve completed 3-5 rebirths and have sufficient speed to reach the Secret area (typically 140+ speed). Fill an entire floor with A+ tier brainrots before attempting consistent Celestial runs.
Pro Strategy: Secret brainrots are static pedestals, not timed spawns. You can plan routes, memorize spawn locations, and build efficient farming loops. Rush a full Secret floor to create a high income foundation that makes every subsequent upgrade cheaper relative to your earnings.
A-tier brainrots represent the transition between late-game and endgame content. These Secret and high-end Cosmic brainrots provide solid six-figure income that bridges the gap to A+ tier units.
| Brainrot | Money/Second | Role in Progression |
|---|---|---|
| Gattatino Nyanino | $400,000/s | Strong Secret-tier earner. Replace your Cosmic brainrots with this once accessible. |
| Unclito Samito | $350,000/s | Reliable high income. Part of the Secret area collection worth prioritizing. |
| Statutino Libertino | $300,000/s | Solid late-game income. Helps fund the speed upgrades needed for higher tiers. |
| Gattatino Neonino | $250,000/s | Quarter-million per second passive income marks serious progression. |
| Matteo | $200,000/s | Entry to the six-figure club. Once you can grab Matteo consistently, lower tiers become obsolete. |
| Chimpanzini Spiderini | $170,000/s | High-end Cosmic brainrot. Worth collecting until you can replace with Secret tier. |
| Agarrini la Palini | $150,000/s | Threshold brainrot between mid and late game. Start phasing out everything below this. |
When to Target A Tier: These become priority targets after 2-4 rebirths when you can safely reach late Cosmic and early Secret zones. Use A tier brainrots to build a strong income foundation before pushing for A+ and S tiers.
B-tier brainrots offer respectable late-game income ranging from $70,000 to $130,000 per second. These Cosmic-rarity units form the backbone of your base during the transition from mid to late game.
| Brainrot | Money/Second | Collection Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Dragon Cannelloni | $130,000/s | Top of B tier. Excellent transitional brainrot worth upgrading until you can replace with A tier. |
| Garama and Madundung | $120,000/s | Reliable five-figure earner. Holds value through mid-to-late game. |
| Nuclearo Dinossauro | $110,000/s | Strong Cosmic option. Part of your pre-Secret base composition. |
| La Grande Combinasion | $100,000/s | Breaks the six-figure mark. Key milestone in your progression journey. |
| Chicleteira Bicicleteira | $90,000/s | Solid earner. Worth collecting when accessible. |
| Pot Hotspot | $80,000/s | Dependable income generator during Cosmic farming phase. |
| Graipuss Medussi | $70,000/s | Entry-level Cosmic brainrot worth collecting until better options appear. |
When to Target B Tier: Once you can reliably reach Cosmic zones, it’s worth replacing almost every earlier unit in your base with B tier brainrots, then selectively swapping them for A and A+ tiers as your runs improve.
C-tier brainrots represent the upper mid-game progression tier, serving as stepping stones toward endgame content. While valuable during the transition phase, they should eventually be replaced with higher-tier brainrots as speed stats improve.
| Brainrot | Money/Second | Usage Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Las Vaquitas Saturnitas | $60,000/s | Top C tier. Good temporary earner during Cosmic progression. |
| Las Tralaleritas | $50,000/s | Solid five-figure income. Phase out once you reach B tier zones consistently. |
| Los Tralaleritos | $48,000/s | Respectable earner. Part of the Cosmic collection bridge. |
| Torrtuginni Dragonfrutini | $30,000/s | Mid-range Cosmic. Useful until better options become accessible. |
| Ballerino Lololo | $25,500/s | Transition point between Mythical and Cosmic. Replace when possible. |
| La Vacca Saturno Saturnita | $22,000/s | Entry Cosmic brainrot. Start replacing Mythicals with this tier. |
When to Target C Tier: These become relevant after your first 1-2 rebirths when you can start reaching Cosmic zones. They fund the speed upgrades needed to access B and A tier zones.
D-tier consists of mid-tier Mythical brainrots generating between $6,000 and $21,000 per second. They’re worth collecting when accessible but will eventually be outclassed by higher-tier brainrots as you advance through speed upgrades.
| Brainrot | Money/Second | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|
| Tukanno Bananno | $21,000/s | Top Mythical. Can be your main earner before reaching Cosmic zones. |
| Piccione Macchina | $19,000/s | Strong mid-game option. Worth upgrading during Mythical phase. |
| Orcalero Orcala | $18,000/s | Reliable four-figure earner. Part of your pre-Cosmic base. |
| Trippi Troppi Troppa Trippa | $15,000/s | Mid-range Mythical. Temporary but useful during progression. |
| Trenostruzzo Turbo 3000 | $13,000/s | Decent earner. Replace once Cosmic becomes accessible. |
| Udin Din Din Dun | $11,000/s | Standard Mythical income. Good for early rebirths. |
| Tigroligre Frutonni | $10,000/s | Five-figure income. Useful bridge between Legendary and Cosmic. |
| Los Crocodillitos | $9,000/s | Entry-level five-figure brainrot. Better than Legendary tier. |
| Tralalero Tralala | $8,000/s | Low Mythical. Phase out quickly once better options appear. |
| Giraffa Celeste | $7,000/s | Minimal Mythical earner. Temporary placeholder only. |
| Cocofanto Elefanto | $6,000/s | Bottom Mythical tier. Replace as soon as possible. |
When to Target D Tier: Mythicals live just ahead of the Legendary section and can be your main earners while building up rebirths and speed. Fully upgrading a handful of D tier brainrots can carry your rebirth progression and bankroll future speed levels.
F-tier encompasses all Legendary, Epic, Rare, Uncommon, and Common brainrots generating between $2 and $5,000 per second. These are starter and early-mid game brainrots that every player naturally collects and eventually outgrows.
| Brainrot | Money/Second |
|---|---|
| Ganganzelli Trulala | $5,000/s |
| Avocadorilla | $4,500/s |
| Gorillo Watermelondrillo | $4,000/s |
| Cavallo Virtuoso | $3,500/s |
| Tigrilini Watermelini | $3,200/s |
| Brainrot | Money/Second |
|---|---|
| Guesto Angelic | $1,400/s |
| Cocosini Mama | $1,300/s |
| Blueberrinni Octopussini | $1,270/s |
| Pi Pi Watermelon | $1,200/s |
| Sigma Boy | $1,100/s |
Why F Tier Despite High Legendary/Epic Rarity? Once you can comfortably reach Mythical sections, it makes sense to phase out most Epics and below, keeping only particularly strong Epics until you can replace them with Mythicals and Cosmics. In late game, even a $5,000/s Legendary generates less passive income than a single second of an S-tier Celestial.
Starter Strategy: Fill your base with Rare, Epic, and Legendary brainrots during your first few runs. These fund your initial speed upgrades. Replace them aggressively once Mythical zones become accessible.
Understanding the relationship between these three systems is crucial for efficient progression:
Speed determines how far down the runway you can travel between tsunami waves. Higher speed = access to rarer, more valuable brainrots. Here’s the approximate speed required for each zone:
Upgrade Priority: Always prioritize speed over other stats early game. Without speed, even moderate runs become risky. Speed unlocks better brainrots, which generate more money, which funds more speed – it’s a positive feedback loop.
Rebirthing resets your speed level but grants a permanent money multiplier that applies to ALL brainrots in your base. Here’s how the early rebirth system works:
| Rebirth | Speed Required | Money Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 40 | 1.5× |
| 2 | 50 | 2× |
| 3 | 60 | 2.5× |
| 4 | 70 | 3× |
| 5 | 80 | 3.5× |
| 6 | 90 | 4× |
| 7 | 100 | 4.5× |
| 8 | 110 | 5× |
| 9 | 120 | 5.5× |
| 10 | 130 | 6× |
Each rebirth raises the requirement by 10 speed levels while increasing your multiplier by 0.5×. These bonuses stack into massive numbers over time, especially when combined with high-rarity brainrots.
Rebirth Strategy: Don’t hoard rebirths waiting for the “perfect time.” Each rebirth compounds your gains. The faster you rebirth early game, the faster you’ll snowball into late game. Only delay rebirth if you’re one or two brainrots away from a major income threshold.
Your money generation follows this formula: Total Income = (Base Brainrot MPS) × (Rebirth Multiplier) × (Individual Brainrot Level)
This means a single S-tier Celestial brainrot with 10 rebirths (6× multiplier) at level 20 can generate more income than your entire early-game base combined. This is why veteran players focus exclusively on replacing low-tier brainrots with Secrets and Celestials – the compounding effect makes everything else obsolete.
Start by collecting any brainrot you can safely return. The goal isn’t rarity – it’s establishing a floor that earns money even when you fail a run. Dying with a pickup yields zero value. A safe return of a Common brainrot beats a failed return of a Legendary every single time.
Implementation: Learn tsunami patterns, identify safe zones every 50-100 meters, and only collect brainrots you can safely return before the next wave. Consistency beats greed in early progression.
Once you have a stable route and can reach the Secret area with decent success rate, rush a full Secret floor before obsessing over Celestials. This creates a high income foundation, making every subsequent upgrade cheaper relative to your earnings.
Why This Works: Secret brainrots are permanently available (not timed spawns), easier to reach than Celestials, and still generate six-figure passive income. A base full of A and A+ tier brainrots will fund Celestial runs far faster than trying to farm Celestials with a weak base.
Celestials are stronger but spawn much slower (15-minute intervals). Don’t wait – focus on replacement, not camping. Keep farming Secrets, participating in Admin Abuse events, and upgrading your best units while periodically checking Celestial spawns.
Core Unit System: Identify your best 3-5 Secret or Celestial units (especially ones with Blood or Diamond mutations). Push these to Level 10-20 immediately, later to 30-60. Ignore filler – don’t waste cash leveling temporary units you plan to replace soon.
Use your baseball to hit people in the pit and steal their high-tier brainrots. This PvP mechanic allows you to acquire valuable Cosmic, Secret, or even Celestial brainrots without needing to reach those zones yourself.
Target Selection: Hit players who have just returned from high-tier areas, as they’re likely carrying the most valuable collectibles. This strategy is particularly effective if you’re struggling to reach endgame zones due to insufficient speed stats.
Mutations dramatically change tier rankings. A mutated lower-tier brainrot can easily outperform a non-mutated higher-tier unit. Always check the actual stats of brainrots you collect, not just their base rarity.
Priority Rule: A Celestial with Blood or Diamond mutation becomes a Core Unit and gets maximum leveling priority. Even a Cosmic with top-tier mutation can outperform an unmutated Secret brainrot.
I’ve seen countless players lose Celestials because they tried to grab one more brainrot and got caught by a wave. If you’re holding a high-tier brainrot, return to base immediately. A banked Celestial is worth infinitely more than a lost one.
This drains cash too fast. Focus on Core Units (your best 3-5 brainrots) and level them to 10-20 first. Ignore filler units you plan to replace soon.
Attempting Celestial runs with 200 speed and one rebirth usually ends in failure. Build your Secret base first, complete 5-7 rebirths, reach 300+ speed, THEN target Celestials consistently.
The rebirth multiplier is where exponential growth happens. Players who delay rebirthing stay stuck in linear progression. Rebirth early and often – each one compounds your gains permanently.
Not checking mutation stats means you might replace a high-multiplier Cosmic with an unmutated Secret, actually losing money per second. Always verify actual income rates, not just rarity names.
Esok Sekolah is currently the strongest brainrot in the game, generating $1.9 million per second at base level. However, “best” depends on your progression stage – if you can’t reach Celestial zones safely, Fragola La La La ($1M/s) from the Secret area might be more valuable for your current build.
Celestial brainrots spawn every 15 minutes in zones beyond the Secret area (typically 600+ meters from spawn). You need minimum 300 speed to reach them safely before the tsunami hits. Participate in Admin Abuse events for increased spawn rates and special Celestial opportunities.
Rebirth as soon as you hit the speed requirement. The permanent money multiplier applies to ALL your brainrots, making them immediately more valuable. Don’t hoard rebirths – each one compounds gains. The only exception is if you’re literally one brainrot away from completing a Secret floor.
You need approximately 200-300 speed to comfortably reach the Secret area (600+ meters) and return before tsunami waves hit. Start with 200 speed for early Secret brainrots, but aim for 250-300 to safely farm deeper Secret zones and attempt Celestial runs.
Sometimes yes! A Cosmic brainrot with Diamond mutation can generate more money per second than an unmutated Secret brainrot. Always check actual stats, not just base rarity. Mutations multiply base income, so a high-multiplier mutation on a decent brainrot often beats higher rarity without mutations.
Start with one brainrot per run until you can afford carry upgrades. By default, you carry one at a time. Buying carry upgrades lets you transport more per run, increasing overall income per trip. However, carrying too many is riskier when tsunamis are frequent. Balance risk vs. reward based on your current speed and zone access.
The fastest method is building a full base of the highest rarity brainrots you can safely reach, then rebirthing to multiply their income. Early game: rush Mythicals. Mid game: transition to Cosmics. Late game: build Secret base. Endgame: replace with Celestials. Speed + Rebirths + High-tier brainrots = exponential income growth.
No! Your brainrots keep their levels when you rebirth. Only your speed stat resets. This is why leveling Core Units is so important – those levels stay permanent while your rebirth multiplier increases, creating compounding passive income that survives every reset.
Replace brainrots whenever you can consistently access a tier that generates 3-5× more money per second. For example, replace all Mythicals ($6K-$25K/s) once you can safely farm Cosmics ($22K-$170K/s). Replace Cosmics once Secrets ($200K-$1M/s) become accessible. Always prioritize the highest MPS you can safely collect.
Camp the Celestial section, use safe zones to ride out waves, and wait for the 15-minute spawn timer. Never get greedy – if you’re holding a Celestial, return to base immediately. Set a timer for spawn intervals, coordinate with your rebirth schedule, and participate in Admin Abuse events for bonus Celestial spawns. Efficiency beats camping – farm Secrets while waiting for Celestial spawns.
Escape Tsunami for Brainrots rewards patience, planning, and knowledge. This tier list is designed to help you avoid wasted runs and focus on brainrots that truly matter. Don’t chase rarity alone – chase efficiency, consistency, and progression. Master the art of safe returns, understand rebirth compounding, and prioritize Core Units. Once you do, the tsunami becomes far less scary, and your passive income will skyrocket.
