Literally SPRUNKI Mix Tiers

Literally SPRUNKI has no ranked ladder and no win condition. A “tier list” here means creative preference for mix building: which starting stacks stay clear, which combos usually clash, and which habits help beginners. Treat every rank as subjective music taste, not objective truth. Cross-check character jobs on the character roster and arrangement habits on mixing tips.

If two players disagree about S tier, both can be right. The goal is a shared vocabulary for “this stack is clean” versus “this stack is muddy.”

How these tiers are judged

Criteria used on this page:

1. Clarity — Can you hear each role (beat, effect, melody, vocal)?
2. Beginner friendliness — Does the stack teach good habits?
3. Mode flexibility — Does the idea still work when you move toward Horror or denser stages?
4. Slot efficiency — Does it sound full without needing every free slot or the x2 Characters pass?

Not used as criteria: Robux spent, rarity flex, or meme volume for its own sake.

S tier — reliable starter frameworks

S-tier frameworks are patterns, not single characters.

S1 — Two beats, one glue effect, one melody, one vocal

Example shape: Oren + Raddy, Gray, Mr. Sun, Pinki.

Why it sits high: kick/snare-style bed, one soft effect, one bright lead, one friendly vocal. Easy to mute one lane and hear what changed. Works on Normal without any gamepass.

S2 — Electronic bed with air

Example shape: Fun Bot, Sky, Durple, Jevin.

Why it sits high: Fun Bot gives a machine pulse, Sky keeps air, Durple carries tune, Jevin adds gravity. Clean when you refuse a second competing vocal.

S3 — Sparse Horror-ready mood

Example shape: Oren, Gray, Simon, Black (then switch to Horror when unlocked).

Why it sits high: leaves space for Horror redesign energy instead of packing Normal until nothing breathes. Black’s Horror lineage is explained on the roster page.

S-tier rule: five or fewer parts, one job per lane, mute test after every add.

A tier — strong but situational

A1 — Triple-beat drive

Oren + Raddy + Clukr under a single melody.

Great for percussion showcases. Falls to B if you also stack two effects and two vocals — the midrange collapses.

A2 — Melody showcase

One light beat (Oren), minimal effect (Sky), then Mr. Sun + Tunner trading focus while you mute one at a time.

Excellent for learning melody masking. Weak if you leave both melodies and a loud vocal fighting forever.

A3 — Vocal duet with discipline

Wenda + Pinki over a thin beat bed.

Fun character energy. Keep effects almost empty or the “hey” / soft vocal space turns to mush.

A4 — OWAKCX feature

OWAKCX as the star effect with quiet beats and no second chaotic layer.

Works as a feature. Drops hard when paired with Brud, Clukr spam, and a busy computer vocal at once.

B tier — usable with caution

B1 — Full free beat row

All five beats (Oren, Raddy, Clukr, Fun Bot, Vineria) with nothing else.

Fine as a drum experiment. Poor as a finished song unless you strip back to two.

B2 — Everything-on-stage flex

Filling every free slot because you can — especially after buying x2 Characters.

Impressive screenshot, often weak mix. Capacity is not arrangement. See gamepasses if you bought slots and mixes got worse.

B3 — Bright Normal stack forced into Horror

A cheerful Mr. Sun + Pinki + Fun Bot pile left unchanged after unlocking Horror.

Playable, but you usually want to rebuild for the dark stage instead of pasting a sunny Normal recipe.

B4 — Two effects + two melodies + two vocals

Technically a mix. Practically a frequency fight. Rescue it by muting until only one of each upper role remains.

C tier — muddy combos to avoid (as defaults)

These are anti-patterns. You can break the rules for art; do not start here.

Muddy combo	Why it fails
All beats + OWAKCX + Brud	Low and mid chaos with no melody anchor
Mr. Fun Computer + Wenda + Pinki + Jevin	Four vocals competing for attention
Mr. Sun + Durple + Simon + Tunner	Four melodies, zero rhythm definition
Max slots on day one with no mute pass	You never learn which part carried the hook
Instant mode skips + dense stack before learning Normal	New stage skins on a messy arrangement

If your mix matches a C-tier row, remove parts until it resembles an S-tier shape, then re-add one character at a time.

Beginner stacks (copy these first)

Use these as training wheels. Names map to the character roster.

1. Sunny demo: Oren, Gray, Mr. Sun, Pinki.
2. Pulse demo: Fun Bot, Sky, Durple, Jevin.
3. Percussion lesson: Oren, Raddy, Clukr only — listen, then add one melody.
4. Vocal lesson: Oren, Mr. Tree, Wenda — then swap Wenda for Black and compare.
5. Subtraction lesson: Build any six-character mix, then force yourself down to four without losing the hook.

After those five drills, open mixing tips for deeper arrangement notes and unlock Horror / Pyramixed through playtime before buying skips.

Where gamepasses fit in a “tier list”

Gamepasses do not create S-tier mixes by themselves.

• x2 Characters (189) raises the ceiling so A-tier dense ideas become possible — and makes C-tier overcrowding easier.
• Bonus Characters (131) adds colors; still arrange by role.
• Instant Pyramixed (49) / Instant Horror (42) only change when modes arrive, not whether your stack is clear.

Rank the arrangement, not the receipt. Full shop math is on the gamepasses guide.

Updating your own ranks

Revisit this page after big content eras (UPD 5 BETA through UPD 9 and later touches). New bonus faces or mode polish can move a situational A into S for your ears. Keep personal notes:

• Favorite beat pair
• Favorite single vocal
• One combo you always mute

Share stacks with friends as role recipes (“two beats, Sky, Simon, Jevin”) instead of “everything on.” That language matches how Literally SPRUNKI actually plays.

Quick reference

Tier	Meaning
S	Clear frameworks beginners should copy
A	Strong when you respect limits
B	Usable experiments; easy to overcook
C	Default muddy patterns to unlearn
