The Cyber Update of April 18, 2026 completely redrew the income meta in Steal a Brainrot. New Secret-tier brainrots from the Cyber Craft Machine took the top three slots, and the OG kings (Strawberry Elephant, Meowl) shifted from "best earners" to "best long-term store of value." This tier list ranks every brainrot you can realistically chase right now, with both raw income/s and trading-value lenses.
Tier S — Top Earners (Income/s)
| Rank | Brainrot | Base Income/s | With Cyber 11x | How to Get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Digi Narwhal | $3.2B/s | $35.2B/s | Cyber Craft (Capitano Moby + Fishino Clownino) |
| 2 | Los Chillis | $1.2B/s | $13.2B/s | Cyber Craft (3× Chillin Chili) |
| 3 | Gym Bros | $684M/s | $7.5B/s | Cyber Craft (Odin Din Din Dun + Swag Soda + Fragola La La La) |
| 4 | Strawberry Elephant (OG) | $750M/s | n/a (no Cyber on OG) | Pre-Cyber Era; trading only |
| 5 | Meowl (OG) | $600M/s | n/a | Pre-Cyber; trading only |
The first three slots are all Cyber Craft outputs from Update 47. If you don't have Digi Narwhal yet, Los Chillis is the cheapest path to a 10B+/s asset (just three Chillin Chilis).
Tier A — Solid B-Tier Income, High Availability
| Rank | Brainrot | Base Income/s | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | Camera Ramena | $273.7M/s | Cyber Craft, easy ingredients |
| 7 | Buho De Volto | $44.2M/s | Cyber Craft, La Vacca + Berryno + Fishboard |
| 8 | Headless Horseman (OG) | $550M/s | Halloween limited, retains scarcity premium |
| 9 | Bunny and Eggy (Easter) | $185M/s | Divine Fuse 6%, current event |
| 10 | Griffin (Secret) | $400M/s | Best non-Cyber Secret; Divine Fuse 6% |
Tier B — Reliable Mid-Range
Mid-tier earners that are easier to obtain than S-tier. Worth holding while you save up for top-tier crafts:
- Trenotubo Axolotrico 9000 ($4.1M/s; Cyber-mutated $45.1M/s — outperforms most non-Cyber Secrets)
- Hydra Dragon Cannelloni (top-tier OG mid-range)
- Tigloligre Frutonni (mid B-tier; common ingredient in Brainrot God recipes)
- Capitano Moby (Secret; primary ingredient for Digi Narwhal so high trade demand)
- Chillin Chili (rises in trade value because it's the Los Chillis ingredient)
Trading Value vs Income/s — They Diverge
This is the key insight most tier lists miss: the highest income/s isn't always the highest trade value. As of late April 2026:
| Brainrot | Income/s Rank | Trade Value Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Strawberry Elephant | Tier S (income) | T0 (trade) — old, scarce, OG status |
| Digi Narwhal | Tier S (income) | T1 (trade) — easy to craft, supply rising |
| Meowl | Tier S (income) | T0 (trade) — has the best trait too |
| Hopilikalika Hopilikalako | Tier C (income) | T0 (trade) — 0.25% drop, ultra-scarce |
Trade value is driven by scarcity (drop rate or limited-time event windows), while income/s is driven by current numbers tuning. Cyber Craft outputs have HIGH income but their trade value will normalize as more players craft them.
What to Avoid (Tier F)
- Anything Common or Rare for stacking (income/s too low to matter at end-game)
- Mutated brainrots with Diamond or Gold mutation (1.5x and 1.25x — too weak for Cyber-era earnings)
- Daily-shop brainrots without a unique trait
How to Use This Tier List
If you're free-to-play and below Rebirth 10: focus on Tier B. Stack Trenotubo crafts during weekend Cyber windows.
If you're Rebirth 15+: chase Los Chillis. Three Chillin Chilis is achievable with one weekend of focused grinding, and the resulting Cyber-mutated Los Chillis will earn more than your entire current base.
If you're end-game: Digi Narwhal is the absolute apex. Stack 3-5 Cyber Digi Narwhals over a month and your income passes 100B/s.
