Nights of Eternity Killer Tier List
Pub ranking for September 2026. Withered Bonnie and Springtrap are S. Foxy sneaks in A. Freddy sets up in B.
This is the killer half of the September 2026 tier list. Survivors win Nights of Eternity by clearing arcade cabinets (20 seconds off the clock each) and by not all dying before the night ends. You win by breaking that plan: delete the stun, delete the heal, and force Last Man Standing on your terms. The ranking is for public lobbies and solo queue on Roblox, not for a five-stack that never splits.
Read the survivor list before you lock a counter-pick. Phone Guy and Cassidy are the S-tier problems. Evan is the heal you should hunt first if the lobby actually brought him.
S tier — Withered Bonnie and Springtrap
Withered Bonnie is early access and still S. The grab is an anti-heal tool: it punishes Cassidy’s self-heal, Evan’s saves, and any Vitality plan that assumed the injured player could be topped up in a corner. Pubs that queued “we have a healer” discover they have a body. Bonnie does not need a perfect zone because the grab creates the zone. Learn the anti-heal timing before you learn flashy pathing. The updates hub covers how he entered the roster; this page only cares that he is here and he is mean.
Springtrap is the complete free kit. That sentence is the ranking. He has an answer for chase, for a missed swing, and for a survivor who thinks a window is safety. You can main him from the First Night onward without waiting on a pass. Pubs respect Bonnie because he is new; they should respect Springtrap because he is finished. If you can only practice one killer while learning how to play killer, practice him. Skins in the mid-page video do not change that. A gold coat is still Springtrap.
A tier — Foxy
Foxy sneaks. Isolated arcade runners are food: they face the cabinet, they forget the timer, and a sneak commit ends the night for that player. Grouped lobbies with a Phone Guy on stun duty are not food. Foxy’s skill floor is “walk at people.” His skill ceiling is choosing which cabinet is actually alone. A-tier means he is excellent at the job the map gives him and he does not have Bonnie’s heal tax or Springtrap’s full toolbox. If the lobby clumps, swap. If the lobby scatters, you are the reason they should have clumped.
B tier — Freddy
Freddy is a zone and setup killer. He wants survivors to walk into a plan: a held space, a routed cluster, a night that funnels toward his tools. When pubs play like a deathball on one arcade cluster, Freddy looks terrifying. When pubs scatter five clusters at once, he spends the clock traveling and the cabinets chew 20 seconds a piece without him. B-tier is not “bad.” It is “map and lobby dependent.” Do not main him as your only killer until you can force the setup instead of hoping for it. Do not dodge him in the players roster either; learning his tells makes survivor nights easier.
Not ranked — Puppet, not Vanessa
Puppet is a future killer on the roadmap. There is no public kit to letter. Vanessa was scrapped. If a shop rumor still shows her, it is leftover noise. A fourth map has been teased; when it lands, Freddy’s B-tier travel problem may move, and we will edit this page instead of pretending the letter was eternal.
How survivor S-tier should change your lock
Against Phone Guy, respect the three-second stun and the HP stack. Do not eat two waves in a doorway “to assert.” Each stun makes him thicker. Wait the wave, then commit.
Against Cassidy, Bonnie is the cleanest answer because the grab fights the self-heal. Springtrap still wins if you never let torment run for free. Hitting her while she is in the resistance window is how pubs donate chases.
Against Night Guard, punish late masks. Against Henry, do not swing blindly through the corner he wants. Against Evan, look at him first. Against Michael, ignore the shocker theater unless it actually lands; he is C on the other list for a reason.
Status and Last Man Standing
Killer pressure is a status effects story: Bleeding that cannot finish a player at 1 HP, Weakness that makes your next swing louder, Stun that has no levels when Phone Guy lands it on you. Last Man Standing highlights both sides and strips the value of Undetectable. If your killer plan was “they will never see me at 1:14,” that plan is dead. Foxy sneak into LMS is a different game than Foxy sneak at 4:00. Play the clock.
Practice order
- Springtrap until you can end a night without blaming teammates.
- Foxy to learn isolation.
- Freddy to learn setup, knowing he is B in pubs.
- Withered Bonnie when you have access, specifically to answer heal comps.
That order is for humans. Scripts that claim killer ESP are a ToS risk on script safety, not a shortcut to S-tier. The letters on this page assume you pressed the kit’s actual buttons.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Is Withered Bonnie better than Springtrap?
In heal-heavy pubs, Bonnie's anti-heal grab can feel better. Springtrap is still the complete free kit and the better one-main plan. Both are S on this list.
Why is Freddy only B tier?
He is setup and zone. Scattered arcade clusters make him travel while the timer dies. When the lobby funnels, he spikes. Pubs do not funnel on command.
Should a new killer main Foxy?
Not first. Learn Springtrap so you have a full kit, then use Foxy to practice picking isolated survivors. Sneak without game sense is just walking.
Is Puppet on the tier list?
No. Puppet is a future killer. Vanessa is scrapped. We will not rank a kit that is not playable in public nights.
How do I play against Phone Guy as killer?
Do not eat the shock-wave twice. His HP stacks on stuns. Wait the three-second window, then commit. Details live on Phone Guy and how to play killer.
Do killer skins change the ranking?
No. The video on this page is a skin showcase. Power is the kit, not the coat. Rank the buttons, not the render.
