DexertoThere are many evolutions in Ball X Pit, and each one completely changes how you play. From simple fusions to massive screen-wide attacks, every evolution offers a new way to survive and scale your character damage.
Naturally, that means some are far stronger than others, regardless of the build or playstyle you choose.
S tier
Evolution | Reason for ranking | Recipe |
|---|---|---|
Magma  | Clears waves and bosses and spawns rolling magma that compounds damage fast. | Burn + Earthquake |
Sandstorm  | Wide pass-through damage plus Blind buys time and control even without combos. | Earthquake + Wind |
Holy Laser  | Hits almost everything and scales with any on-hit effect. | Vertical + Horizontal Laser |
Black Hole  | Instantly kills the first non-boss enemy it hits, then destroys itself. Huge burst ceiling but limited uptime. | Dark + Sun Burn + Light |
Flicker  | Damages every enemy on screen periodically, which is great for sustained clearing once scaling kicks in. | Dark + Light |
A tier
Evolution | Reason for ranking | Recipe |
|---|---|---|
Wraith  | Freezes any enemy on sight as soon as it passes through them. | Burn + Earthquake |
Soul Sucker  | Passes through enemies and drains their life once per target, restoring your health and reducing their max HP. | Earthquake + Wind |
Blizzard  | Freeze AOE in a two-tile radius. Great crowd control and safer lines than most starters. | Freeze + Wind |
Glacier  | Big freeze coverage, but high cost keeps it shy of S. | Earthquake + Freeze |
Lightning Rod  | Marks targets and unleashes periodic zaps to clean nearby ads. | Iron + Lightning |
Mosquito King  | Ricochet spawns tracking mosquitoes for chip and heals. | Brood Mother + Vampire |
Spider Queen  | Pricey path, but floods back line once online. | Egg Sack + Brood Mother |
Overgrowth  | Applies stacking Overgrowth that consumes on multiple stacks to deal AoE damage. Reliable midgame control and scaling. | Charm + Dark |
Incubus  | Constant burn aura with blind. Safe, consistent, and great for boss fights. | Burn + Light |
Sun  | Pass-through bleed stacking scales heavily in late fights. | Dark + Ghost |
Phantom  | Curses enemies on hit and deals a burst of damage once they’re struck multiple times. Great for delayed burst setups. | Dark + Ghost |
Voluptuous Egg Sac  | Spawns eggs that snowball over time. Good control and late value. | Egg Sac + Cell |
Mosquito Swarm  | Healing seekers that clean up waves and sustain your health. | Egg Sac + Vampire |
Nuclear Bomb  | Explodes and inflicts radiation, which is devastating AoE for wave clears and bosses alike. | Bomb + Poison |
B tier
Evolution | Reason for ranking | Recipe |
|---|---|---|
Storm  | Wind travel-through chains with solid waves, though it's weaker than top freeze lines. | Lightning + Wind |
Assassin  | Back-line parking pass-through. It needs trinkets to truly pop. | Ghost or Dark + Iron |
Frozen Flame  | Versatile but lower ceiling than pure trees | Burn + Freeze |
Radiation Beam  | Spreads stacks well across packs, still limited by poison power. | Laser + Poison |
Inferno  | Sweep damage without freeze utility. Fine mid-tier clear. | Wind + Burn |
Noxious  | Pass-through poison that spreads quickly with scaling. Solid mid-tier pick. | Poison + Wind or Dark |
Freeze Ray  | Precise freeze control but smaller reach than Blizzard. | Freeze + Laser |
Lovestruck  | Charm and healing chance make it supportive, though not meta-defining. | Lightning + Charm or Light |
Flash  | Short-range burst that blinds. Situational but handy for safety. | Lightning + Light |
Laser Beam  | Focused single-target DPS. Great for bosses but low wave tempo. | Light + Laser Beam |
C tier
Evolution | Reason for ranking | Recipe |
|---|---|---|
Leech  | Clears waves and bosses and spawns rolling magma that compounds damage fast. | Bleed + Brood Mother |
Vampire Lord  | Needs heavy bleed stacking to matter. | Bleed or Dark + Vampire |
Noxious | AOE sounds great, but numbers underwhelm in practice. | Wind or Dark + Poison |
Swamp  | Tar slows and ticks, but it has a lower impact than freeze paths. | Poison + Earthquake |
Virus  | Spreads disease, but overall poison DPS keeps it capped. | Poison + Cell |
Berserk  | Enemies turn on each other unpredictably. Funny, but unreliable control. | Charm + Bleed (or Burn) |
Sacrifice  | Bleed explosion after several hits. High damage, low tempo. | Dark + Bleed |
D tier
Evolution | Reason for ranking | Recipe |
|---|---|---|
Shotgun  | This evolution shatters fast and wastes tempo after walls. | Egg Sack + Iron |
Vampire Lord | Huge delay kills pacing and control between throws. | Burn + Iron |
Hemorrhage  | Consumes stacks for a chunk on one target, which is bad for waves and tempo. | Iron + Bleed |
Bomb  | Huge explosion with high base damage but crippling 3-second cooldown, making it one of the weakest evolutions overall. | Burn + Iron |
Succubus  | Charm and minor sustain, but overshadowed by Incubus. | Charm + Vampire |
