Nights of Eternity Survivor Tier List
Pub and solo-queue ranking for September 2026. Phone Guy and Cassidy carry; Charlie Emily stays unranked.
This is the survivor half of the September 2026 tier list. It answers a pub question: if you queue alone into Nights of Eternity, which kit still has a button when the last teammate dies and Last Man Standing slams the clock to 1:14? The night is online 1-versus-all on Roblox. Cabinets cut 20 seconds each. Stuns, heals, and body HP decide more than lore.
Killers have their own page: killer tier list. If you only want a lock without reading letters, use the survivor picker.
S tier — Phone Guy and Cassidy
Phone Guy is the free sentinel who actually scales. Taunt is a shock-wave stun in the three-second range: short enough that a killer can play around it, long enough to break a grab, rotate an arcade, or buy a pizza toss. The passive is the sleeper. When a stun lands, his HP and max HP step up (community kits list +10 per stun, capping around 110). Two good calls turn a 90 HP clerk into a thicker loop. In pubs, “easy to understand” is a feature. You do not need voice chat to press a shock-wave when Springtrap commits.
Cassidy is the early-access carry. Torment is the headline: a large, greedy hitbox that slows the killer and wraps her in resistance while she holds attention. Self-heal (It’s Me in community shorthand) lets her recover without finding Evan. Rift is the honest reposition — strong, not free. Together those three mean she can be the stun, the heal, and the escape in a lobby that brought three Michaels. She is S because pubs are selfish. She is also the reason killers picked up Withered Bonnie: anti-heal grab exists to answer this kit. If you do not own her, do not spend the night crying in shop. Phone Guy is still S without a pass.
The mid-page video is a Cassidy skin and max-trait showcase, not a hidden buff list. Cosmetics do not move letters.
A tier — Night Guard and Henry
Night Guard is the other free lock. Mask and pizza are survival tools, not a Phone Guy stun. You look worse in a highlight reel and better in a messy first week because the kit teaches spacing. A-tier means you must time the tools. Hold the mask too late and the killer already has the swing. Throw pizza into empty air and you donated cooldown. For new players this is still the right first ten games; the picker agrees.
Henry Emily lives on corner strike. The swing can clip through a corner, so a teammate who baits around a wall hands him a stun the killer did not path. In solo queue that teammate often does not exist. Henry then looks like a man swinging at plaster. A-tier assumes you either stack with a friend or you are good at predicting killer pathing without a ping. If your pubs never walk corners, pick Phone Guy.
B tier — Evan
Evan Afton is the heal you want when the lobby already has a stun. He keeps wounded runners in the arcade rotation and still dies fast if the animatronic decides he is the problem. That is not a meme; it is why he is not A. A focused Springtrap or a Bonnie grab deletes the support before the second save. Queue Evan when you see Phone Guy or Henry already locked, or when you personally cannot land stuns and would rather keep Cassidy’s HP high. Do not queue him as your only plan to “carry.”
C tier — Michael
Michael Afton is the info kit. Shockers are the combat plan and they are weak for the windup. You spend time lining a zap that does not change a chase the way a Phone Guy wave does. In a coordinated stack, information about killer position is gold. In solo queue, your teammates are already on a cabinet with their backs turned. C-tier is a request for a buff, not a ban. Play him for fun or for callouts if the lobby will listen. Do not spend tokens on him hoping the tier list hub is wrong this week.
Unranked — Charlie Emily
Charlie Emily entered early access as a survivor. The sample is small, the kit is still being learned in pubs, and this page will not pin a letter so the table looks complete. Watch the roadmap and the Cassidy update notes for how ST-GB Team has been rolling characters: early access first, then a wider drop. When Charlie has a stable public night count, she will get a row here. Until then, treat highlight wins as highlights.
Status effects that change the letters
A Phone Guy stun is still a stun with no levels. Cassidy’s resistance during torment plays with Vitality math. Bonnie’s anti-heal answers her self-heal. Last Man Standing makes Undetectable nearly useless, so stealth-leaning extras on a kit drop in value at 1:14. Read the status effects reference before you argue a letter in Discord.
How to use this list tonight
New: Night Guard or Phone Guy. Need heal: Evan, knowing you are fragile. Need stun: Phone Guy or Henry. Need info: Michael, knowing you are C. Need carry: Cassidy. Broke: the two free kits. That is the same tree as the survivor picker, written as letters instead of questions.
If the killer is Bonnie, do not lock a pure heal plan. If the killer is Freddy, cabinet routing on arcade objectives matters more than your letter. If you are learning survivor fundamentals, the how to play survivor guide beats any S-tier copium.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Is Phone Guy better than Cassidy for a new player?
Yes if you do not own Cassidy. Phone Guy is free, his stun is readable, and the HP stacking is automatic. Cassidy is S in the same pubs but asks you to manage torment, heal, and rift together.
Why is Evan only B tier if he heals?
He dies fast. A killer who targets the support deletes the heal before it matters. He is excellent as a second lock behind a stun, not as a solo-queue carry.
Should I buy Michael?
Not for power. Shockers underperform and his info needs teammates who look at chat. Spend tokens on Cassidy when you can, or stay on the free S and A kits.
Where does Charlie Emily sit?
Unranked. Early access is too new for a firm letter. We would rather leave a gap than invent an S.
Does Last Man Standing change survivor tiers?
It changes how you play the end of a night. Auras go up, Undetectable falls off, and kits with a stun or self-heal spike. Phone Guy and Cassidy like that rule more than Michael.
Where is the killer ranking?
On the killer tier list. Bonnie and Springtrap are S there for the same pub patch this page uses.
