Die of Death abilities tier list — best Deck skills
Community Die of Death abilities tier list ranks all 13 civilian skills and named synergies after Fashionably Late (July 18, 2026). Rankings follow post-patch community tier discussions — Killer matchup and map vote still move ranks.
Searchers ask best abilities die of death — tables use Tier column badges (S through D). Dash and Cloak stay high; Punch is C-tier (25 dmg, 3s stun, 40s CD); solo BonusPad fell while CarePad synergy stays S. Ranks shift in special gamemodes.
Pair band picks with entity guides — Taunt, Revolver, Loveshot — when you need kit detail beyond tier placement.
S tier abilities
Top band — draft when offered unless mode hard counters.
| Tier | Ability / synergy | Note |
|---|---|---|
| S |  Caretaker | #1 group heal — −25 HP tradeoff |
| S | CarePad (Caretaker + BonusPad) | Pad groups allies for cone heals |
| S |  Cloak | Self LMS survival — invisibility wind-up |
| S |  Dash | Top mobility — strong in most matchups |
| S |  Loveshot (Revolver + Taunt) | Multi-shot + ~7 HP heal pulses |
A tier abilities
Strong picks — many rounds win with one A plus synergy partner.
| Tier | Ability / synergy | Note |
|---|---|---|
| A |  Taunt | Post-rework ragdoll peel — Loveshot half |
| A |  Block | Block stance — matchup dependent |
| A |  Adrenaline | Fashionably Late buffs + afterimage ally speed |
| A |  Revolver | Infinite range stun — reload vulnerability |
| A | SweetTooth (Pie + Hotdog) | ~30 HP burst · −7 max HP |
B tier abilities
Situational — map or skill dependent.
Banana Peel is the classic B-tier skill that becomes A-tier on Temple / The HQ chokes and C-tier on open Baseplate pre-flood. Bugle and Pie sit here provisionally after Fashionably Late until ranked lobbies stabilize.
| Tier | Ability | Note |
|---|---|---|
| B |  Banana Peel | Top B on chokes — average C elsewhere |
| B |  Hotdog | Self heal + max HP stack |
| B |  Pie | SweetTooth enabler |
| B |  Bugle | Solo buff — better than Noisemaker |
| B |  BonusPad | Solo pad fallen post-rework — breakable |
C tier abilities
Usable but outclassed — clutch players still win.
| Tier | Ability | Note |
|---|---|---|
| C |  Punch | 25 dmg · 3s stun · 0.75s wind-up · 40s CD |
D tier abilities
Noisemaker replaces Bugle when Taunt shares the Deck — ranked last in community lists: long channel, allies rarely benefit, you don't receive DR unlike solo Bugle.
| Tier | Ability / synergy | Note |
|---|---|---|
| D | Noisemaker (Bugle + Taunt) | Seven mini-games · weak DR · self excluded |
How this abilities tier list is built
We merge post–Fashionably Late creator rankings — not official Roblox stats. Gunslinger forces Punch + Revolver only; tables assume Default gamemodes unless noted.
| Synergy | Combo | Tier |
|---|---|---|
| CarePad | Caretaker + BonusPad | S |
| Loveshot | Revolver + Taunt | S |
| SweetTooth | Pie + Hotdog | A |

Dash and Cloak — why both S
Dash tops many lists for zero-stamina escape frequency. Cloak wins selfish LMS even if team value is lower — both stay S with different roles.
BonusPad solo vs CarePad
Fashionably Late made pads breakable — solo BonusPad dropped to B. CarePad synergy stays S because grouping allies for Caretaker cone heals matters more than raw pad HP/s.
Taunt rework uplift
Pre-rework Taunt sat D in older videos (invuln gimmick). Post-rework ragdoll + **Loveshot synergy lifts Taunt to A** on current lists.
Abilities tier list × gamemode
Gunslinger ignores half this table — only Punch and Revolver draft, double damage, Locked instead of stuns. One Bounce juggernaut wants Dash or solo Revolver. Double Trouble rewards spread roles: one CarePad, one Loveshot, two mobility — not four healers in one corner.
| Gamemode | Top picks | Skip |
|---|---|---|
| Default | CarePad · Loveshot · Dash/Cloak | Noisemaker rows |
| Gunslinger | Revolver aim · Punch corners | Caretaker · CarePad |
| One Bounce | Dash juggernaut | CarePad stack |
| Evil Scary | Dash · Cloak comfort | Long channels |
Killer-specific civilian tiers
Vs Pursuer / Harken melee: Taunt, Punch, Revolver climb. Vs Killdroid range: Cloak and Dash climb; Punch stays C. Vs Artful traps: Banana Peel B on choke maps.
Fashionably Late shifts
Bugle and Pie are B-tier provisional — revisit after meta settles on updates. Adrenaline buffs moved it to A-tier in July 2026 lists. Older rankings that placed Taunt in D used pre-rework invuln — ignore for current Default Draft.
Deck RNG reality
You only control one of three Deck offers — tier list ranks skill ceiling, not guaranteed draft. When all three rows look weak, pick the highest band skill available (usually Dash, Revolver, or a synergy half) and play map terrain on maps instead of forcing meme picks.
