Survive Bikini Bottom Solo and Team Class Rankings
Different S-tiers depending on whether anyone can pick you up.
A class that wins a five-stack escort can feel empty when you queue alone. Survive Bikini Bottom is online multiplayer, but plenty of people still run solo for badges or for a quieter hive. This page splits the main tier list into those two jobs so you do not buy Doctor and then never revive a soul.
Solo ranking
Solo cares about self-heal, self-damage, and not depending on a finite mag. The Sea Bear already focuses one body; you do not get a second kite.
- GG Rockstar — energy weapon, armor, night vision. Best late solo.
- Doodle Bandit — poison clears clumps if you can dodge.
- Bruiser — tanky escort runner; no gun, so learn melee first.
- Pioneer — best cheap solo teacher until ammo dies.
- Mercenary — strong open, weaker infinite.
- Cursed Soul — only if you are farming Doubloons, not if you want a stable night 80.
- Doctor — wasted revive speed when nobody is down but you.
- Economy and D-tier kits — craft their perks instead.
Solo Day 100 is a jelly route plus discipline. Read Day 100 and Sea Bear before you blame the class for a night walk.
Team ranking
Teams care about not wiping when one person greed-chests.
- Doctor — mandatory in any group that dies. Five-times revive is a raid mechanic.
- GG Rockstar — still the damage ceiling for wave clear.
- Pioneer — early keys and Krabs/Squidward melted safely.
- Doodle Bandit / Bruiser — point players for Sandy and the maze.
- Trapper / Jellyfisher — one of them, not three. Extra food helps the first week, then they should reroll.
- Defender — the walls are a workbench item. Do not spend four slots on them.
A clean five-stack is one Doctor, one range carry, one melee escort, and two flexible Pioneer/Bandit bodies. Duplicate Doctors are fine. Duplicate Defenders are not.
Role call before you ready up
- Who feeds the hive? Someone has to. Classes do not deposit for you.
- Who holds the flashlight? If the Rockstar already sees in the dark, give the light to the person who walks keys.
- Who is allowed to pad? One Quickster user. Two pads in a hallway is a teamkill.
- Who escorts? Highest melee or the person with the empty bag. The rescue page assumes a kite.
A five-stack lobby script (the spoken kind)
“I am Doctor.” “I am Rockstar.” “I am pad and keys.” “I am kite.” “I deposit.” If those five sentences do not happen, you do not have roles, you have skins. Public servers will not say them. That is why the solo ranking exists.
If two people refuse to deposit, the class list cannot save the night. Send them the getting started feed-first rule and queue a different table.
Talent rolls
Classes can take a Talent that steals a random perk from another kit. Treat a good roll as a bonus, not a plan. Do not buy a D-tier body because a video showed a lucky Talent. Buy the body that is already good on perk 1.

Perk text for every lobby card: classes. Shopping helper: class picker. Still on the free kit: best starter and getting started.
A duo can ignore the five-stack script. One Doctor and one Rockstar or Pioneer will finish the five residents if they deposit. A duo of Defenders will not. Stack size changes the picker, not the hive rules.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Best solo class?
GG Rockstar if you can afford it, Pioneer if you cannot, Bruiser if you already like melee.
Best team class?
Doctor first for any regular squad, then a Rockstar or Bandit for damage.
Should everyone run the same class?
No. Stacking economy kits wastes Doubloons. Mix a revive, a range, and an escort body.
