Dont Splash For Eggs Pets Tier List - Income & Progression
Rank rarity bands from Common to Secret by what they do for your base, not hype alone.
How to read this pets tier list
In Dont Splash For Eggs, pets are the heart of your tycoon board. You steal eggs, hatch them, place pets on pedestals, upgrade those pets, unlock more pedestals, and rebirth for permanent multipliers. A good pet is one that raises cash fast enough to fund the next squat breakpoint or the next rebirth without demanding suicide steals every minute.
Exact pet names from a complete official index are still limited in public sources this early after the 2 November 2026 launch. This list therefore ranks rarity bands and strategic roles (early income vs late chase) rather than pretending we have a frozen name-by-name meta. When Dooly Games expands the catalog - especially during the Sakura biome event - treat new event pets as chase targets in the S/A discussion below and re-check this page after patches on the Updates Hub.
For egg routes that feed these pets, use the Eggs tier list. For placement and pedestal upgrades, see the Pets index.
Tier criteria
| Factor | What we measure |
|---|---|
| Income potential | Passive cash once placed and lightly upgraded |
| Early usefulness | Helps first hour squat / pedestal unlocks |
| Mid usefulness | Speeds first few rebirths |
| Late usefulness | Stays relevant after multiple multipliers |
| Opportunity cost | Risk of the egg you had to steal to get it |
S-tier pets are worth planning Nightfall runs around. C-tier pets are still useful as temporary fillers - never delete progress panic; just replace them when a better hatch lands.
S-tier - late chase and event anchors
Secret / Mythic-equivalent and flagged event exclusives sit here when their pedestal income clearly outpaces standard rares. These are the pets you rebuild a board around after a rebirth chain. Sakura biome pets, once live, belong in this conversation: event cosmetics often ship with premium earn rates or collection prestige that keeps them relevant.
How to play S-tier:
- Do not attempt the source egg until your jump power clears the biome with a margin - see Biomes and platforms.
- Prefer Nightfall windows - Nightfall luck.
- After hatching, place immediately on your highest pedestal slot and upgrade before dumping cash into vanity.
- If a rebirth is close, check How to rebirth so you understand what resets versus what permanent multipliers you keep.
S-tier is a chase list, not a day-one checklist. Dying repeatedly for a Secret while your base has empty pedestals is a net loss.
A-tier - strong mid and flexible earners
Legendary / high Rare bands that deliver excellent cash/sec without always requiring the hardest nest on the map. A-tier pets are the spine of a healthy mid-game board: they fund squat sessions, buy pedestal unlocks, and make rebirth thresholds feel reachable in one focused evening.
How to play A-tier:
- Prioritize filling every unlocked pedestal with at least A/B pets before you tunnel on one Secret attempt.
- Use them as bankroll pets - their job is to print the cash that buys jump upgrades between steals.
- Swap the weakest A-tier first when a true S-tier finally lands.
If you only remember one rule: a full board of A-tier beats one S-tier and three empty pads.
B-tier - reliable early-to-mid income
Uncommon to mid Rare pets. Individually they will not break leaderboards, but they are the correct answer to I just hatched something, what now? Place them, upgrade lightly, and keep stealing. B-tier pets shine in the first rebirths when every coin accelerates jump power.
How to play B-tier:
- Hatch early-biome eggs on purpose to seed B-tier pets quickly - see Getting Started.
- Do not over-upgrade a B-tier pet right before a rebirth if cash resets; spend on jump only when the multiplier math says so.
- Keep one or two B-tier pets even later as cheap pedestal fillers if you unlock slots faster than you find upgrades.
C-tier - fillers and learning tools
Common pets and duplicate low rolls. They still matter: they teach the hatch, place, upgrade loop, occupy a pedestal so you are not earning zero, and can be replaced without emotional damage.
How to play C-tier:
- Place immediately; never leave a hatched Common in the inventory while a pedestal is free.
- Spend minimal upgrade currency - save bigger spends for A/S targets.
- Use Common egg steals as movement practice for water discipline and monster escapes (How to steal eggs).
C-tier is not trash. It is onboarding. The players who skip straight to contested nests without a Common income floor usually quit after a splash wipe.
Early vs late strategy split
Early game (0-2 rebirths): Bias toward volume. Fill pedestals with B/C pets from safer biomes. Your real upgrade is jump power, not prestige. Follow the squat plan on the Tools Hub.
Mid game: Replace C with B/A as Nightfall luck allows. Start scouting harder biomes listed on the Eggs tier list.
Late game: Board quality matters more than raw steal count. Protect S/A pets, time contested eggs for Nightfall, and watch Sakura or other event drops for new chase targets.
Sakura and future event pets
The NEW SAKURA BIOME event is the first major content flag on the Roblox page after launch. Expect cherry-blossom themed eggs and pets that community players will treat as limited chase pieces. Until exact earn rates are measured in-game:
- Assume event pets are at least A-tier, often S-tier for collectors and income alike.
- Do not ignore your existing board while camping one Sakura nest - keep passive income running.
- Revisit this tier page after you personally compare pedestal rates.
Details and route teases: Sakura biome update.
Common mistakes
- Leaving pedestals empty while hunting a meme Secret.
- Spending all cash upgrading a Common right before rebirth.
- Ranking pets by look alone - cute does not equal cash/sec.
- Copying tier lists from other egg Roblox games with different economies.
- Ignoring Nightfall and blaming bad RNG for Common floods.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for steals, pets, Nightfall, and rebirth.
Why are tiers based on rarity bands instead of every pet name?
Public official name indexes are still limited shortly after launch. Rarity-band and role tiers stay useful across hotfixes; we will tighten names as stable data appears.
Should I sell or ignore Common pets?
Place Commons on empty pedestals first. They are C-tier fillers that fund early squat upgrades until better hatches arrive.
Are Sakura pets S-tier?
Treat new Sakura event pets as high-priority chase targets - likely A or S once rates are measured. Keep your current board earning while you hunt them.
Do pets survive rebirth?
Read How to rebirth for the live reset rules. Plan upgrades around whatever cash and jump power the rebirth clears so you do not waste temporary currency.
Where do I learn pedestal upgrades?
The Pets index explains how pets earn, how pedestals unlock, and how upgrades fit the tycoon loop.
