Fishing Wars Tier Lists
Launch-week rankings for fish, boats, and the upgrades that print cash.
Tier lists for a game that is a few days old have to be honest. Fishing Wars does not ship a public complete dex on day one. What we do have is Steak’s leaks, the official Roblox description, launch thumbnails, and community runs to level 15. This hub splits those signals into two lists you can actually use on a trip.
Open a list
- Fish tier list — commons versus legendaries, Loch Ness, Kraken-class threats, and what belongs in the aquarium.
- Boat tier list — hovercraft, wooden gunboats, speed, health, turrets.
If you only need a shopping order, skip the ranks and use the upgrade order tool. Tiers tell you what is good. The tool tells you when you are allowed to buy it.
How we rank in week one
S tier means “this pays for itself or ends your run if you ignore it.” D tier means “tutorial trash or a trap.” We do not invent twenty fish with fake Latin names to look like a pokedex. When Steak or BIG GIANT FOOD publishes an index, these pages will grow. Until then, rarity bands plus named beasts are the truth.
Criteria:
- Idle value — does it belong in the aquarium?
- Trip value — is it worth a cargo slot on the way home?
- Threat — does it sink you if you treat it like a carp?
- Access — can a new dock player even reach it?
A Kraken is S tier as a threat and as a flex. It is F tier as a first-hour plan. Context sits in the child pages.
What is not on the list yet
Gamepasses, if they appear, will get a row after someone pays and reports. Cosmetics that do not change speed or health will stay off combat tiers. Scripts are not a tier — they are a ban risk on the scripts hub.
How to use a rank on the water
If two bites fight for the last cargo slot, keep the higher rarity. If two boats fight for a marker, the hull with a turret and health wins, not the one that looks like official key art. If you are choosing an upgrade, Joe’s aquarium level still beats a skin.
Pair this hub with how to fish so the ranks become abort calls. Pair it with boats and PvP so you know which silhouette to run from.
Launch week ranks move. Recheck after Steak’s next live. He already patched enough to run a hacker-ban stream, which means numbers will shift.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Is this tier list official?
No. It is a fan ranking from leaks, the Roblox page, and early level 1–15 runs. Named beasts are confirmed; a full dex is not.
Should I hunt the Kraken at level 5?
No. It is a deep-water S-tier threat. Build the boat first using upgrade order.
Where is the fish list?
Open the fish tier list. Boats are on the boat tier list.
Will these ranks change?
Yes, after patches. Bookmark this hub and the updates page.
