Push the Rock Partner Tier List
Buy early speed and push roles first. Costume is not a stat.
Partners in Push the Rock are individual board unlocks, not a gacha table we can price. The official pitch is simple: unlock mythical partners to boost your run. This page ranks those helpers by role, because Studio Stinky has not published a public multiplier sheet we can verify. If another wiki or a screenshot overlay prints +312% push or a 2,500,000 egg, that number did not come from this experience’s audited store. We will not invent one to look complete.
Use this list with how to get partners for the unlock flow, best partners for a buy-order by session stage, and partner builds when you are ready to lock a loadout. The Tier List Hub explains why worlds get a separate ranking.
Ranking rules
S-tier is the set of reliable speed or push multipliers you can buy early. Those roles shorten the time to the crest, which shortens the time to the slide, which prints the coins that buy the rest of the board. That loop is the whole economy.
A-tier is coin and slide support — helpers that make the downhill more generous or safer once you already have a way to reach the top. They are not your first purchase unless the board literally offers nothing else.
B-tier is late-world push. World 3 already sits near a six percent badge win rate. Worlds 4–6 are near zero. A specialist that only matters on those walls is real, but it is wasted gold if you still stall on World 1.
C-tier is situational board filler: mixed roles, mid-session pickups, or helpers that only look useful when you already own a speed core.
D-tier is looks and memes. Gameplay footage of this universe has shown pop-culture helpers on the board, including a Squid Game mask figure. Fun. Screenshot-friendly. Not an automatic upgrade. Rank the mask by whether it actually speeds the rock or merely stands next to it.
We skip F-tier as a dump bucket. If a partner does nothing for speed, coins, or a late hill, leave it on the board and keep sliding.
S-tier — early speed and push
Buy these first. The test is boring on purpose: after the unlock, does the boulder move farther before you mash auto-push, and do you reach a slide sooner than you did ten minutes ago? If yes, it is S, even if the model is a plain worker instead of a licensed face.
S-tier is not “the rarest icon on the board.” Mythical partners boost runs, but mythical is a marketing rarity, not a guarantee that the unit is the correct first spend. An early, cheap speed role beats a late mythical that you cannot afford until World 3. Spend the first coin dump on whatever the board labels as a push or speed help that you can actually click today. Then go farm. The how to farm coins page covers the slide; controls covers movement plus auto-push so you stop fighting the HUD.
If two early speed roles sit next to each other, buy one, test a full push-and-slide cycle, and only then buy the second. Stacking without a test is how players bankrupt a World 1 purse on duplicate jobs.
A-tier — coin and slide support
After you can crest World 1 on purpose, coins become the bottleneck, not muscle. A-tier partners are the ones that make the downhill worth the trip: more pickups, a cleaner line, fewer deaths when the boulder rolls back and tries to eat you. Push the Rock punishes greed on the slope. A helper that lets you stay in the coin line instead of resetting after a crush is worth more than a second push role you cannot use because you are broke.
Do not buy A-tier before S-tier unless the board is empty of speed. A slide specialist on a character who cannot reach the crest is a costume with a wallet.
B-tier — late-world specialists
World 2’s badge sits around a 36 percent win rate, so most dedicated players will see it. World 3 drops to about 6 percent. World 4 is about 0.4 percent. Worlds 5 and 6 sit near 0 percent with only hundreds of awards. B-tier partners are the ones you save for those walls: extra push on a longer ramp, stamina to keep auto-push from feeling like a stall, or whatever the board frames as a late-map boost.
Hold the coins until the world tracker says you are actually on that hill. Buying a World 5 specialist during a World 2 grind is how a 2.7 million-visit game still has a microscopic World 6 club.
C-tier and D-tier — mixed roles and mascots
C-tier is everything that helps a little after the core is built: extra board slots you click because they are next in line, not because they change the loop. D-tier is the Squid Game mask and friends when they are cosmetic-first. If a pop-culture helper also carries an early speed role, it jumps to S. The costume does not get a veto and it does not get a free promotion.
Servers hold up to 18 players. Other climbers will show off loud partners. That is not a review. Watch whether their boulder actually moves.
What we refuse to list
No egg prices. This board sells individual unlocks; we will not paste a Push and Slide pet-egg table over it. No gamepass partners — public trackers list no known gamepasses for this universe as of the 13 April 2026 snapshot. No codes-as-partners: the codes UI exists, but there is no verified public list as of September 2026. See codes and how to find new codes.
This list is not a roster dump of every model name on the board. Names change in thumbnails, and fan videos mix this title with Push A Rock, Push and Slide, and Push Rock for Brainrots. Role is the only ranking that survives a wrong thumbnail.
When you are done here, pick a stage-based buy order on best partners or lock a loadout on partner builds. Then go push. The board will still be there after the next slide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for hill climbs, partners, and world badges.
Why don't you list every partner by name?
Because names and costumes get confused with other rock games, and Studio Stinky has not posted an audited roster with stats. We rank roles. If a helper is an early speed or push buy, it is S-tier regardless of the hat.
Is the Squid Game mask partner S-tier?
Only if the board treats it as an early speed or push multiplier you can actually afford. Footage shows pop-culture helpers like that mask on the board. Looks do not rank. Role does.
Should I save coins for a mythical before buying anything?
No. Mythical partners boost runs, but an early speed role you can click today beats a late mythical you cannot afford. Spend, slide, then climb the board. Details are on best partners.
Do partners have published multiplier numbers?
Not that this wiki can verify. Ignore overlay screenshots that invent percents or egg prices. Rank by whether the boulder moves sooner and whether the slide pays.
Does this list include Push and Slide partners?
No. Different experience, different shop. This page only covers Push the Rock by Studio Stinky. Their Kirby-style shop lists and egg rows do not apply here.
Where do I unlock partners in the UI?
On the in-world board as individual purchases. Follow how to get partners for the click path, then come back here before you spend.
