For the stick it to the stickman character tier list, Gun Guy is the best all-purpose recommendation because two guns provide immediate ranged damage and safer positioning. Handyman, Delegator, and Extra are strong alternatives when you prefer flexible melee, control, or summoned support.

A tier rating is a starting recommendation, not a guarantee. Lower-ranked workers can still dominate when their moves match the upgrades offered during a run.

Best Characters

  • Gun Guy — S tier: Starts with two guns, giving him range before enemies can surround him. Watch for damage, ammunition, crowd control, mobility, stuns, and knockbacks.
  • Handyman — A/S tier: A strong general-purpose choice for punch improvements and durable builds.
  • Delegator — A tier: Shout-based upgrades can lead to crowd support, including gray workers attacking a red enemy after you yell.
  • Extra — A tier: Can develop into a summon-oriented character with allied workers that divide enemy attention.
  • Slob — A tier: Better than several mid-tier brawlers, with durable melee and direct damage.

Strong Mid-Tier Picks

  • Jogger — B/A tier: Strong mobility and kick synergy. Use movement to cross dangerous spaces and avoid getting surrounded.
  • Caffeine Addict — B/A tier: Coffee or energy-drink effects can provide useful momentum, though he is less dependable than top picks.
  • Weeb — B tier: An accurate thrown knife with little drop makes ranged hits easier. It can evolve into shuriken-style options.
  • Temp — B tier: A simple, dependable starter with a fair baseline, but limited long-term identity.

Situational Picks and Synergies

  • Beefcake — B/C tier: A heavy melee option centered on becoming larger or stronger. Add knockback, survivability, or high-impact punches.
  • Ego Maniac — B/C tier: Has punch potential and airborne attacks. Stuns followed by focused damage can create openings.
  • Force-style worker — C tier: Object-lifting effects may not deal enough damage and can make targets harder to hit. Use this style for control alongside reliable direct attacks.
  • Unfamiliar characters — Unranked: Try one run before judging their moves.

Kick builds can work well with stomped kicks, jump kicks, fly kicks, and bicycle kicks when spacing is maintained. Approach groups from an angle, disrupt the nearest enemy, then move away after airborne attacks.

Is It Worth It?

Yes—character choice matters because each worker begins with a different style, weapon, or movement option that affects later upgrades. Gun Guy is the most forgiving choice for consistent success, while lower-tier picks are worthwhile for learning move types and testing upgrade combinations.

The Multitasker-style effect can be valuable on large multi-floor areas because it can collect or trigger moves gained since leaving the elevator. Its value is lower on boss floors, so it should not define an entire run.
