Abyss Tier List
This page was rebuilt to remove speculative data. Instead of pretending every hidden value is confirmed, it summarizes the public consensus around the upgrades and builds that matter most for progression.
How to Read This Page
These are recommendation bands, not fake official rankings. If a patch changes shop prices, stats, or progression order, the exact position of an item can move even if the broader advice still holds.
Best Guns
These are the most consistently recommended public gun upgrades for progression.
Top Picks
Wild Gun, Lost Spirit Gun, Banana Gun, Ruined Gun, Magroot Gun
Strong endgame or late-midgame upgrades repeatedly recommended by public guides.
Good Value
Crossbow Gun, Air Rifle Gun, Wasted Gun, Morveth’s Treasure Gun
Useful progression weapons that open important parts of the map or bridge upgrade gaps.
Starter
Advanced Gun, Bottle Gun, Beginners Gun, Starter Gun
Fine early on, but usually replaced quickly.
Best Tubes
Tube value is tied to how quickly it opens new areas and how long it stays useful.

These are commonly cited as the strongest late-game tubes after Sunken Wilds.

Lost Spirit Tube, Zepline Tube, Boat Tube
Useful stepping-stone upgrades for Spirit Roots and deeper progression.

Frequently recommended as the best early tube for reaching more content sooner.
Best Races

Top Picks
Kraken, Sea Angel, Shark, Vampire Squid
Public tier lists consistently place these near the top for endgame value.
Strong Midgame
Anglerfish, Narwhal, Spirit, Crab
Reliable options when you are pushing progression and not just fishing casually.
Good Early Picks
Monkey, Cyclops, Fish
Easy to feel immediately because they improve basic movement, hauling, or damage.
Artifact Priorities
Artifacts are harder to rank one-by-one without keeping a full patch-accurate database, so this section focuses on reliable build priorities.
Early Priority
Cooldown-focused artifacts such as Hour Glass
Cooldown is a common early recommendation because starter weapons need more shots.
Midgame Priority
Cooldown + Speed combinations such as Hour Glass + Holy Flower
Public guides often recommend mixing faster attacks with movement utility.
Endgame Priority
Cooldown + Speed + Damage builds such as Wraith Flower, Divine Hour Glass, Demonic Hour Glass
Public endgame builds generally favor offense over extra oxygen or carry weight.
