Nights of Eternity Survivor Picker
A pub decision tree. New players get Night Guard or Phone Guy. Tokens stay in your pocket until the role is real.
This picker is for public Nights of Eternity nights on Roblox, not for a five-stack with assigned homework. You queue, you see four random kits, you lock something that fills a hole. The survivor tier list is the letter grades. This page is the questions. Parent hub: tools. Pair it with status effects so you know why “I will just bleed” is not a plan.
Charlie Emily is early access and not a firm branch yet. If you own her, treat her as a learning lock, then come back when the roadmap turns into a letter. Vanessa is scrapped; she is not on this tree.
Start here — are you new?
Yes. Lock Night Guard or Phone Guy. Both are free. Night Guard teaches mask and pizza spacing, which is the game’s survival language. Phone Guy teaches a three-second stun and then pays you in HP when the stun lands. If you have to pick one for the first five nights, pick Phone Guy if you want a button that saves teammates, Night Guard if you keep dying with unused tools. Do not buy Michael because the model looks busy. Do not inject a script because the killer is faster than your first loop.
Read getting started and how to play survivor after the lock, not during the queue timer.
Need heals?
Lock Evan. He is the support who keeps wounded runners in the arcade rotation. He is also B-tier because he dies fast. If the lobby already has Cassidy, you may not need him; she brought her own self-heal in the Cassidy update. If the killer is Withered Bonnie, understand that the grab is an anti-heal tool. Queueing Evan into Bonnie is still allowed. It is just a harder night. Stand behind a stun, not in front of the grab.
If you needed heals and you are also new, ignore this branch. New players do not main the fragile support.
Need stun?
Lock Phone Guy or Henry. Phone Guy is the pub stun: readable shock-wave, HP stack, S-tier on the tier list. Henry is the corner strike: A-tier if someone actually walks the killer around a wall, wasted if you solo-queue into a deathball in the open. If your teammates ping corners, Henry is spicy. If they do not, Phone Guy is the adult choice.
Stun has no levels. You either have the button or you watch Cassidy do your job with torment. One sentinel per lobby is the floor. Two is luxury. Zero is how Freddy looks like S for a round.
Need info?
Lock Michael. He is C-tier. Shockers are weak. Information is real. This branch is for players who will call killer position and for lobbies that will listen. If your pubs mute chat, Michael is a man lining up a zap nobody asked for. Spend tokens here only after you own the S and A kits you actually want. Info does not complete arcade objectives by itself.
Need carry?
Lock Cassidy. Torment, self-heal, rift. S-tier because solo queue is selfish and she does not need Evan to live. If you do not own her, this branch is closed. Phone Guy remains the free carry-adjacent lock. Skins do not add torment. Early access or the late-August drop is how she entered shops; check the live client for access, not a frozen wiki price.
Carry does not mean “ignore cabinets.” A Cassidy who never finishes a machine still loses to the clock. Carry means you can 1v1 at 1:14 without praying for a teammate’s pizza.
Budget tokens?
Stay on the free pair: Night Guard and Phone Guy. That is the whole branch. Tokens are for Cassidy when you already know how to survive, or for curiosity kits after the S/A slots in your inventory are filled. There are no verified promo codes to print currency. A “free tokens” video is the wrong Roblox game or a scam.
If you are broke and the lobby has no stun, you are still Phone Guy. If you are broke and the lobby has three Phone Guys, you are Night Guard so someone is holding pizza and mask. Duplicate S-tier sentinels are less tragic than five Michaels.
Quick tree
- New → Night Guard or Phone Guy.
- Not new, need heal → Evan (accept the HP).
- Need stun → Phone Guy, or Henry if corners exist.
- Need info → Michael (accept C-tier).
- Need carry and you own her → Cassidy.
- Broke → free pair, always.
Then look at the killer. Bonnie on the other side: do not treat heal as a win condition. Springtrap: respect the full kit, stun early. Foxy: clump cabinets so sneak dies. Freddy: scatter less; his B-tier wants you in a zone. Killer letters live on the killer tier list.
After you lock
Play the night. First Night badge if you have never queued. Cabinets if you want the clock. LMS if you are last: auras are up, Undetectable is a trap, Bleeding will not finish you. When the match ends, change branch if the lobby was the problem, not if the thumbnail was.
This picker will gain Charlie when she is lettered. It will not gain Vanessa. It will not gain a script recommendation. If you wanted a machine to think for you, this is the machine. If you wanted an injector, that is the safety door.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
What should a brand-new player pick?
Night Guard or Phone Guy. Both are free. Phone Guy if you want a stun. Night Guard if you want mask and pizza fundamentals.
When do I pick Evan?
When the lobby needs heals and already has a stun. He dies fast, so he is a support lock, not a new-player lock.
Is Cassidy the default buy?
Only on the carry branch, and only if you own her. She is S-tier. She is not required. Phone Guy still exists.
Should I buy Michael for information?
Only if chat will listen and you already have better kits. He is C-tier because shockers are weak for the time they take.
I have no tokens. What now?
Night Guard and Phone Guy. There are no verified codes to print currency. Play nights; do not hunt a generator on a random site.
Where is Charlie Emily on this tree?
Off the firm branches. Early access is too new to rank. Use the roadmap until the survivor tier list letters her.
