With so many traps available to you, and many more to unlock, it can be overwhelming to figure out what you like. It can be even more complicated trying to figure out what’s good. Fortunately, we’ve put tons of time into the game to help figure out what traps are the best.

There’s a lot of features to consider, including cost and synergy. We’ll call out special cases like that whenever there’s a need. In general, these rankings are based on overall performance, considering upgrades and all characters. This is by no means super scientific, but it should help you find some solid strategies quickly.

S Rank Traps

These are the best of the best, and should probably be in every game. They’re just too good to pass up!

A Rank Traps

These traps are very solid but tend to rely more on being part of a larger synergy. They’re still great, and the more players you have in your team, the more of them you should take.

B Rank Traps

These traps are usually great when you have a gap somewhere, like if you need another wall or ceiling trap. They’re also great for covering damage types. They’re not bad by any means, but they don’t quite pack the same punch as A rank traps. You might still find a favorite in here, though!

C Rank Traps

These aren’t terrible traps, but they have a lot more drawbacks. Primarily, these are all physics-based traps that are fun to watch. They all require a lot of space and coin, or don’t contribute enough to your Combo total to be worth it.

D Rank Traps

These traps aren’t great right now. There’s little to no reason to use them.
