Blow Up The City Tier Lists

This hub splits Blow Up The City into two ranked lists because they spend different currencies. Cash strikes (bombs, Nuke, Tornado, Earthquake, Attack Heli) live on airstrike ranks. Robux passes (X2 Cash, Unlimited NPCs, AC-130, ICBM, Unlimited Cash) live on gamepass ranks. Mixing them in one table makes a 99 Robux multiplier look “worse” than a free Nuke you already earned.

Ranks here are for session value, not for screenshot size. A tiny bomb you can fire five times on a fresh street outranks a orbital strike you dump into ash.

How we rank

• S — changes every session if you own it.
• A — excellent on the right target (bridges, trains, full streets).
• B — fun, situational, easy to waste.
• C — spectacle, skip until the loop is solved.
• D — skip, or buy only to sandbox.

Early-testing balance can move after Update 2. When payouts or restocks change, these lists will move with Update 1.5 notes.

Quick picks

• First cash buy: repeatable radius, not Nuke. Details on the airstrike list.
• First Robux buy: X2 Cash if you like the game, otherwise nothing. Details on the gamepass list.
• Showcase buy: ICBM or AC-130, on a private intact city.
• Never buy: a pass because a different game’s code list told you to.

Use How to Earn Cash so the S-tier strike is something you can actually fire. Use Players if you care more about NPCs than about letter grades.

Letter grades are for spend order, not for arguing in chat. If Attack Heli feels better in your hands than Earthquake, use Attack Heli — the list still tells you not to ICBM a crater. Re-read this hub after a patch, not after every public server. The ranks move when restocks or payouts move, which is an Updates job, not a daily shuffle.

Print the split in one sentence: cash ranks for the shop, Robux ranks for the pass prompt. If you mix them, X2 Cash looks weaker than Nuke because Nuke is free after a farm. Nuke is not free if you never learned how to earn cash.
