Monster Train 2 Tier List

Underlegion

Endless Fun Guy swarms out-tempo everything; the most consistent army plan in the game.

Melting Remnant

Burnout units die and Reform for endless value — the premier cycling engine.

Luna Coven

Mooncycle control is execution-heavy but among the highest ceilings when piloted well.

Railforged

Forge and crafted equipment snowball hard; several sources argue it belongs in S.

Lazarus League

Unstable stacking and grafted experiments scale brutally, especially paired with aggro clans.

Banished

Valor from Shifts is straightforward, fast and reliable from Covenant 0 to 10.

Pyreborne

Dragon's Hoard turns gold into stats — strong, but slower to come online than the S tier.

Hellhorned

Rage and imps remain dependable aggro, simply outshone by the newer engines.

Wurmkin

Egg/Hatch payoffs are middling alone but spike hard in the right ally pairing.

Awoken

Regen, Spikes and healing stall well but can struggle to close out high Covenant fights.

Stygian Guard

Incant chip damage and Frostbite utility lack a decisive punch on their own.

Umbra

The Morsel-and-Gorge engine needs too much setup; consistently ranked bottom post-DLC.

Valor scaling turns Fel into a one-unit win condition; a fixture at the top of polls.

Unstable/mix scaling with Test Subjects — poll-topping, though some call it clan-carried.

Burnout looping prints value every single turn; the engine Melting Remnant wants.

An army in a single card slot — headlines most community rankings.

Incant-driven Shroom spawning floods floors with bodies.

Pyrespeak floor-targeting plus Herzal's Horde economy — the stronger Railforged pick.

Scrap Metal and multi-equip paths reward tight play with huge stat lines.

Reliable Rage/Armor beatstick; strong floors, rarely spectacular.

Deal-making and gold synergies are solid but pairing-dependent.

Dragon/egg lines work, yet develop slower than the top engines.

Potent with dedicated Mooncycle support, situational without it.

Shard and Hatch scaling that community feedback calls "gods when paired".

Thorny defensive growth; wins slowly when the meta wants speed.

Incant utility without the closing power of the A-tier casters.

Morsel dependence makes every run a setup puzzle.

Gorge scaling arrives too late against high-Covenant clocks.

High-setup, low-consistency paths — near-universally ranked last (with a few loyal defenders).
