Stick Wars Tier List: Strong Fighters and Matchup Tips

Ballerina and Robot: Kicks, Flight, and Rockets

A Mythic fighter can struggle against a basic opponent, so rarity alone won't settle your next match. This Stick Wars tier list compares combat tools and matchup results alongside impressive crate reveals. Use the Stick Wars tier list to compare Ballerina's aggressive attacks, Robot's aerial pressure, and the alternatives that can challenge them.

This Stick Wars tier list focuses on the Roblox experience Stick Wars, including the Halloween update active on October 25, 2026. Compare the attacks, abilities, and individual encounters below when choosing another fighter to try against a troublesome opponent.

Name	Combat tools	Matchup results
Ballerina	Kicks and arrow dodging	Wins against Archer, Brawler, Blaze, and another Ballerina. King puts her under pressure.
Robot	Flight and rockets	Pressures grounded opponents but struggles to reach Archer during their encounter.

Ballerina

Ballerina earns attention through repeated close-range pressure. Her kicks punish opponents once she gets into the exchange, and she can dodge Archer's arrows while closing the fight. Her victories include encounters against Archer, Brawler, Blaze, and another Ballerina.

Her encounters combine an attacking threat with an example of avoiding incoming projectiles. Watch both parts of the exchange when comparing her with another melee fighter: reaching the opponent and landing kicks matter alongside avoiding arrows.

King is the matchup to watch. His thrown crown and restraining attack put Ballerina under pressure, showing how an aggressive fighter can struggle against an opponent with control tools.

Try Ballerina against Archer or Brawler when those matchups are giving your roster trouble. Watch whether she reaches the opponent and keeps attacking; compare the exchanges throughout the fight.

Robot

Robot brings a different kind of pressure: getting airborne and firing rockets. Against grounded opponents, that creates stretches where the enemy struggles to answer the attack.

Compare Robot's flight and rockets with the melee exchanges elsewhere in this Stick Wars tier list. Watch whether his airborne attacks connect while the opponent struggles to reach him.

Archer complicates that plan. Robot can struggle to reach a bow user, and taking to the air does not automatically resolve the matchup.

Watch Robot's ability use throughout the fight. Pay attention to whether he actually creates distance and lands attacks with his rockets. His encounters against grounded opponents and Archer give you different interactions to compare.

Archer, Builder, and Brawler: Ranged and Melee Exchanges

The basic-looking fighters deserve more attention than their appearance suggests. Archer, Builder, and Brawler all have successful fights, and their results make a useful case for comparing performance before chasing another rare pull.

Name	Combat tools	Matchup results
Archer	Arrows and an arrow-rain attack	Repeated arrow pressure overwhelms Poisoner and troubles Robot, while Ninja and Ballerina create difficult encounters.
Builder	Pickaxe attacks	Wins against Ninja in an encounter involving invisibility and parrying.
Brawler	Punching attacks	Wins an early encounter, although Ballerina defeats Brawler in another matchup.

Archer

Archer applies sustained arrow pressure. Poisoner takes repeated hits while struggling to close the distance, and Robot also has difficulty reaching Archer during their encounter.

That does not make Archer untouchable. Ninja's disappearing act disrupts the fight, and an arrow-rain attack fails to turn that encounter around. Ballerina presents another problem by dodging arrows and bringing the fight into kicking range.

Choose Archer when you want to compare ranged pressure against your current melee options. Pay particular attention to opponents that disappear or avoid projectiles. Compare those interactions alongside the damage Archer deals during a comfortable victory.

Archer's encounters in this Stick Wars tier list include both sustained ranged offense and opponents that disrupt it.

Builder

Builder carries a pickaxe and looks straightforward, but the win against Ninja gives that simple kit a meaningful result.

The useful comparison is with Archer. Ninja creates problems for the bow user, while Builder wins an encounter against the same character type. That is a practical reminder to change fighters when a familiar option keeps struggling.

Try Builder against Ninja before assuming you need a higher-rarity replacement. Compare how the pickaxe exchanges play out against Ninja's invisibility and parrying.

Brawler

Brawler delivers direct punching pressure and wins an early encounter without needing an elaborate-looking attack sequence.

Ballerina provides the important limitation. Her kicks overcome Brawler in their matchup.

Use Brawler as a straightforward comparison point for your roster. Watch whether another fighter adds something useful—range, flight, control, or attack avoidance—rather than judging the difference by its crate animation.

Time Keeper, Blaze, Blacksmith, Verity, and Fisherman

This part of the Stick Wars tier list covers slowing spells, burning attacks, hammer strikes, mixed results, and hook-and-punch exchanges.

Several have recognizable tools: fire, slowing effects, a hammer, or a hook. Watch how those tools affect the exchange and whether the fighter follows through with attacks that finish the opponent.

Name	Combat tools or encounter details	Matchup results
Time Keeper	Slowing spells and stabs	Secures a win through an encounter that still involves substantial damage exchanges.
Blaze	Attacks that set an opponent on fire	Wins an encounter; Ballerina later defeats Blaze.
Blacksmith	Hammer attacks	Delivers a win through melee attacks.
Verity	Appears in multiple fights	Has a win and a loss across its encounters.
Fisherman	Hook pulls followed by punches	Wins an encounter that becomes close.

Time Keeper

Time Keeper's slowing spells are the main attraction. Slowing the opponent creates opportunities to move around and land stabs, and that sequence ends in a victory.

The fight still gets messy. Time Keeper takes damage and has to finish through repeated exchanges rather than controlling the entire encounter without resistance.

Watch what happens immediately after the slow lands. That is the useful part of the kit to evaluate: whether the effect leads into attacks that help close the fight.

Blaze and Blacksmith

Blaze adds a burning effect to the exchange and secures a win. Ballerina later beats Blaze, giving the character a difficult encounter within this roster.

Blacksmith's hammer does the visible work in his successful encounter. He has Legendary rarity, but compare the attacks themselves when deciding which fighter to use.

Compare both against fighters you already use. For Blaze, watch the fire effect during the exchange. For Blacksmith, watch whether the hammer pressure holds up against the opponent.

Verity and Fisherman

Verity's results swing between a loss and a win. Compare both encounters before judging the character by either result alone.

Fisherman has a distinctive sequence: pull the opponent in with the hook, then follow with punches. The encounter becomes close before ending in victory.

Watch the follow-up after each hook connection. Pulling an enemy closer only helps if the punches that follow make the exchange worthwhile.

Keep matchup notes for these characters. Record the opponent and what happened around the character's main ability; that gives you something more useful than remembering only the final result.

Cameraman, Soccer Player, Samurai, Web Slinger, and Wizard

The encounters in this Stick Wars tier list include struggling attacks, unfavorable exchanges, and abilities that connect without securing a win.

These characters still have recognizable features. Watch what happens when those features meet an opponent that interrupts, avoids, or outlasts them.

Name	Combat tools or encounter details	Matchup results
Cameraman	Camera stun	The stun connects, but low damage leaves the character struggling to finish fights.
Soccer Player	Kicks	Fails to produce enough pressure in a losing encounter.
Samurai	Large sword	Struggles to land hits and loses heavily in its encounter.
Web Slinger	Encounters Ninja	Has difficulty against Ninja's disappearing behavior.
Wizard	Ice and a wave attack	Loses after holding a substantial health advantage.

Cameraman's camera can stun an opponent, yet the damage that follows is weak. A stun connecting is only part of the job; the fighter still needs to turn that opening into meaningful pressure. Watch the attacks after the camera flash when comparing Cameraman with another fighter.

Soccer Player and Samurai struggle more directly. Soccer Player's kicks fail to carry the encounter, while Samurai has trouble landing attacks despite carrying a large sword.

Web Slinger runs into Ninja's disappearing behavior. Inspect that matchup before choosing Web Slinger to face Ninja.

Wizard offers ice and a wave attack, but those effects do not prevent a loss after a large health lead. Watch the whole fight when comparing him with alternatives.

Resist judging any of these fighters by visual effects alone. Compare landed attacks, useful ability follow-ups, and the opponent's response.

Halloween Fighters and Roster Resources

The Halloween event runs October 21 through November 2, 2026, adding Witch, Skeleton, Werewolf, and Phantom, plus a Spooky Crate and event-only skins.

The Halloween Pass contains 20 reward tiers. Candy comes from matches, quests, Server Brawl, and pickups around the lobby. Collect Candy through those activities while working on your roster, and check the event rewards before the Halloween window ends.

Keep event availability separate from combat performance. A limited-time character creates a collection deadline; compare its attacks and matchups when deciding how to use it.

For regular roster resources, RELEASE awards 2,500 coins and 50 gems. Open the menu, select Codes, and enter the code exactly as written. Codes provide another way to collect currency for crates.

The Lucky pass doubles the chance of Legendary and Mythic pulls from crates. That affects acquisition, while the fights above show why rarity and performance deserve separate consideration.

Play Stick Wars on Roblox to compare your current fighters. Use this Stick Wars tier list alongside your own matchup notes, especially when deciding which character to try against a troublesome opponent.
