There are over 100 perks in Noita that grant players various extra abilities. It can be really hard to pick the ones that will benefit your game the most. So, I’ve created a tier list of all perks in Noita, including their effects and stack availabilities.

All Noita Perks Ranked

Noita SS-Tier Perks

I’ve decided to break down all perks in Noita into tiers between SS and F, with the following reasoning behind each choice:

SS-tier perks are the best in the game, and I think everyone should have them.
S-tier perks are excellent choices for almost any type of build.
A-tier perks are very good and will serve you well in a wide variety of situations.
B-tier perks may have a limited capacity but can generally help you throughout the walkthrough.
C-tier perks are extremely situational, so choose them after careful consideration.
D-tier perks are very weak and have a high RNG factor.
E-tier perks may be useful once or twice in the entire game, so they could be easily ignored.
F-tier perks are actually harmful to players, so I don’t recommend picking them up at all.
