Head Nurse
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
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 indexedA Tier
Secret Agent
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
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 indexedB Tier
Doctor
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
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
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
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 indexedC Tier
Intern
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
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]Squad builds
