S Tier Personnel Channel

2 role nodes indexed

S Tier

Head Nurse

Inventory / Support

Premium support anchor for organized teams. Extra bag space and high-level supply scaling make long shifts easier to stabilize when teammates need coffee, medicine, or emergency tools.

[Starting Item: Expanded Inventory][Cost: 80-190 Robux]

S Tier

Surgeon

Medic / Sustained Survival

Top F2P long-run healer. Treatment rewards convert into sanity and movement uptime, making Surgeon the most reliable stabilizer once shifts start stacking pressure.

[Starting Item: No fixed starting item][Cost: 2,500 Animal Coins]

A Tier Personnel Channel

2 role nodes indexed

A Tier

Secret Agent

Anomaly Hunter

Premium patrol and cleanup class. Strong when a squad needs remote threat control, fast second checks, and a backup plan for entities that slip past the front desk.

[Starting Item: Gun][Cost: 320-890 Robux]

A Tier

Security

Crisis Defense

Best defensive F2P slot for teams that need a mistake buffer. The starting X-Taser lets Security stop dangerous entities before one bad front-desk call collapses the run.

[Starting Item: X-Taser][Cost: 1,250 Animal Coins]

B Tier Personnel Channel

4 role nodes indexed

B Tier

Doctor

Standard Healing

Stable healing bridge before Surgeon. Doctor turns successful treatment into sanity recovery, but has a lower ceiling once stronger healer options are unlocked.

[Starting Item: No fixed starting item][Cost: 900 Animal Coins]

B Tier

Nurse

Inventory / Early Support

Cheap early utility pick. Nurse helps players learn resource flow and backpack routing before moving into higher-value support or healer roles.

[Starting Item: No fixed starting item][Cost: 10-20 Animal Coins]

B Tier

Paramedic

Mobility / Emergency Response

Useful runner for teams that need faster event response. The starting speed item helps cover CCTV checks, room emergencies, and rescue routes.

[Starting Item: Large Speed Cola][Cost: 250 Animal Coins]

B Tier

Secretary

Front Desk / Sanity Recovery

Solid budget front-desk role. Sanity recovery on check-in rewards steady screening, making Secretary useful for players who anchor the reception loop.

[Starting Item: No fixed starting item][Cost: 120 Animal Coins]

C Tier Personnel Channel

2 role nodes indexed

C Tier

Intern

Starter / Learning Route

Default learning lane for new players. Use Intern to memorize desk, photo, and CCTV checks before spending coins on specialized roles.

[Starting Item: No fixed starting item][Cost: Free]

C Tier

Psychologist

High-Risk Sanity Modifier

Risk-heavy sanity specialist. Double-effect sanity swings can help experienced players, but the downside is harsh for unstable teams.

[Starting Item: No fixed starting item][Cost: 500 Animal Coins]
