Hide ur Base and Steal Pets Tier List (Community Meta)

This pets tier list ranks Hide ur Base and Steal companions by community meta: observed income usefulness, rarity feel, steal priority, and rebirth usefulness in public six-player lobbies. It is not an official chart from Sutik x Tommy, Sutik, or Devextra. Numbers shift when patch notes retune the economy. Use grades to decide what to buy during server luck spikes and what to pocket first on a raid (how to steal, NPC bases).

Ranking axes

• Income — cash per time while secured in your base
• Rarity — how hard it is to roll or find in someone else’s den
• Steal priority — whether risking a chase is worth it
• Heat — how hard owners defend it (high heat can lower practical value)
• Rebirth utility — whether the species gates a reset on this game’s UI (rebirth)

A pet can be S on income and A on practical steal priority if every competent player camps it. Golden mutations usually play one mental tier hotter than the base form.

Named catalog (community callouts)

Players commonly name: cat, bat, llama, crocodile, goat, frog, turtle, guinea pig, zebra, owl, parrot, pigeon, snake, stegosaurus, giraffe, elephant, lion, bear, ostrich, hamster. Grades below are community meta labels, not Sutik official rarity tags.

Tier overview (September 2026 community meta)

S-tier — lobby changers / scarce prestige

• Lion — Scarce prestige target; extreme heat; often tied to late rebirth ambitions. Steal only on clean exits.
• Elephant — Same scarcity band as Lion for high rebirth targets; deep slots only.
• Other top legendaries / secret-style ultras — Best secured income; expect instant revenge.

Play tips: Relocate after acquiring (protect your base). Never flex on a tourist bench during crowded admin abuse hours.

A-tier — strong keepers / mythical heat

• Stegosaurus — Community treats mythical dino energy as high-value; defend aggressively; worth contested steals when the path is clear.
• Crocodile — Classic chase magnet in creator clips; high defense priority.
• Owl / Parrot — Elevated because they appear as later rebirth gate pets in live observations; temporary personal S if you need the reset.
• Upper legendaries / strong goldens of mid species — Excellent income with slightly less meme heat than Lion week.

Play tips: Primary mid-game raid goals. Fine to buy during doubles even if Lion remains out of budget.

B-tier — solid midboard

• Zebra — Community midboard staple; respectable ticks without Lion-level bounty.
• Llama — Workhorse income; common enough to find; good first serious pet after tutorials.
• Giraffe, bear, snake, ostrich (when income ticks clear commons) — Solid fillers; measure yourself.
• Other mid rares that out-earn starters without painting a massive bounty.

Play tips: Perfect learning targets for player and NPC steals. Fill multiple B slots before gambling every coin on one S roll.

C-tier — early engines / rebirth fodder

• Goat / Frog — Community meta: rebirth fodder first. Observed rebirth 1 pair for this game (confirm UI; never use Build a Base and Steal lists). Income is secondary to gate progress.
• Cat, bat, turtle, guinea pig, pigeon, hamster, and other uncommon/upper commons — Start the cash graph in Getting Started.

Play tips: Farm Goat/Frog via NPC dens and luck doubles; deep-slot them until you confirm rebirth. Place spare C pets near the door as bait once you own B+.

D-tier — placeholders

• Bottom commons — Better than empty slots, worse than almost anything else.
• Only steal if the path is free and you need a psychological win.

Play tips: Do not spend late-hour stacked luck on these.

Quick reference table (community meta)

Tier	Named examples	Buy?	Steal?	Defend?
S	Lion, Elephant, top legs	On spikes	Always if safe	Max
A	Stegosaurus, Crocodile, Owl, Parrot	Yes	High priority	High
B	Zebra, Llama, mid rares	Yes	Learning / value	Medium
C	Goat, Frog, starter commons	Early / rebirth	Situational	Bait OK / deep if gating
D	Weak commons	Only if empty	Rarely	Door bait

How to measure income yourself

Official DPS tooltips can lag patches. Practical method:

1. Secure only the pet being tested if possible.
2. Note cash before and after a fixed window (e.g., 60 seconds).
3. Compare to a known B-tier (llama/zebra) you already trust.
4. Re-test after updates.

If your ticks disagree with this page, trust your ticks and play the patch in front of you.

Steal priority versus vanity

Taking a Lion through three hit attempts while the owner’s friend waits outside is how highlight reels become your funeral. Practical priority:

1. Any pet you can finish cleanly
2. Rebirth-gate species you still need (Goat/Frog → Owl/Parrot → Elephant/Lion)
3. Highest income tier among finishable options
4. Golden variants when the exit is clean (mutations)

Greed is optional; TP-back success is not. Coil and chase tools live on gear shop.

Rebirth context (this game only)

Observed gates: Goat + Frog early; Owl + Parrot later; Elephant + Lion as high targets — always plus a cash threshold. Do not import Build a Base and Steal rebirth pet lists — wrong catalog. Temporarily promote gate pets one tier on your personal roadmap until the reset completes. Details: rebirth.

Luck, mutations, and tiers

Server luck does not change the tier ladder; it changes your odds of climbing it per purchase. Mutation Luck targets golden variants separately. Hold cash for doubles when chasing A/S. Spend freely on C/D only to escape zero-income states — unless those C pets are your missing rebirth pair.

What we refuse to invent

• Exact silver-per-second tables without a patch citation
• Secret menu pets that never appear in gameplay footage

Treat this list as a September 2026 community meta conversation among players who actually hide dens and swing on thieves. When a patch reshuffles income, we will revise grades and note the change beside patch notes. Until then: deep slots for S/A, Goat/Frog for rebirth 1, bait with spare C/D, steal what you can finish, and never flex a Lion on the plaza bench.
