Be The Final Boss Minions & Unit Index

Who tanks, who hits, who eats two slots. Check Unit Index in-game for real stats.

Roles and stages — not a letter tier list. Names and costs live in the in-game Unit Index; if ours disagree, trust the Index.

Early formation

Usual open-game shape before Wave 25. Swap when your wipe shows the hole.

PositionUnitWhy
Front lineIron SkeletonSoaks first contact so the backline isn’t deleted
Extra meleeBone GruntCheap second body while Population is low
RangedSkeleton ArcherSteady damage from safety
AOEImp BomberClears clumps when single-target falls behind
FlexGrave WarlockOnly after the four above aren’t starving for slots / Souls

Checkpoint swaps

Replace the old core when the next checkpoint stops moving.

Formation tips

  • Tanks in front, damage in back. Glass on tile one is how you leak.
  • Dual-slot units (Imp Bomber, Bone Guard, Great Warlock, Cursed Acolyte) eat Population — upgrade slots first.
  • Passives beat Power rating — burn / AOE / marks often outvalue a slightly higher Power filler.
  • A mutated Bone Grunt can still beat a fresh Iron Skeleton for a while — mutations juice ATK/HP, not the role.
  • After Wave 25, one thick tank + a mutated backline beats a pile of tutorial trash.
  • If normal waves leak → Population / Unit Damage. If only bosses wipe you → weapon / Boss Attack.
  • Dump Fusion Shards into units you actually field.
  • Update 1 added three units that still aren’t consistently named outside Unit Index.

Mutations

Mutations only change ATK/HP — kit stays the same. Full table on Mutations.

Quick path

  • Early: Iron Skeleton up front, Skeleton Archer behind, Imp Bomber when packs clump.
  • Wave 25 → Lava Imp + Bone Guard → Gargoyle → Barbarian → Demon Butcher. Dual-slot only after Population.
  • Doomfist is UPD2 — kit still needs Unit Index.
  • Spend order → beginner guide.

FAQ

Minion vs unit?

Same thing. Players say minion; Unit Index and update notes say unit.

Where do units come from?

Mostly the Altar with Souls. Mutations can roll on summon. Open Unit Index for names and costs.

What’s dual-slot?

Unit costs two Population. Stack those too early and you can’t place anything else.

Is Doomfist real?

Yes — Update 2 lists it on the Roblox page. Exact kit still needs a Unit Index check.
