Steal a Brainrot Rarity Guide (2026): All 8 Tiers Explained
Quick Answer: The Steal a Brainrot rarity guide covers all 8 tiers — Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic, Brainrot God, Secret, and OG — ranked from cheapest and weakest to rarest and most valuable. Higher tiers cost more, spawn far less often, and earn dramatically more cash per second. Rarity sets the baseline, but mutations and exist count decide the real trading value — check the value list for current prices.
What Are Rarities in Steal a Brainrot?
Rarity is the tier system that ranks every Brainrot by how hard it is to get, what it costs, and how much cash it earns per second. It's the first thing most players check before deciding whether a Brainrot is worth buying, keeping, or trading.
The eight tiers run from Common at the bottom to OG at the very top. Each step up means a noticeably higher price, a much lower spawn chance on the Red Carpet conveyor, and a big jump in income.
In practice, rarity is a starting point, not the final word on value — a mutation or a low exist count can push a lower-tier Brainrot's real worth well past what its color alone suggests. You can see this rarity system in action directly on the official Steal a Brainrot Roblox page.
All 8 Rarity Tiers Explained
Here's every tier in order, with the cost range and a few example Brainrots from each. Costs shown are base conveyor prices with no mutation applied.
1. Common
Common is where every player starts. These Brainrots are cheap, spawn every few seconds, and are meant to be outgrown fast rather than kept long-term. Examples: Noobini Pizzanini, Tim Cheese, Pipi Corni.
2. Rare
Despite the name, Rare is still an early-game tier that most players cycle through within their first hour. Examples: Trippi Troppi, Boneca Ambalabu, Pipi Avocado.
3. Epic
Epic is the last rarity where buying straight off the conveyor is a dependable strategy. Above this tier, spawn odds start dropping fast. Examples: Cappuccino Assassino, Brr Brr Patapim, Ti Ti Ti Sahur.
4. Legendary
This is where stealing starts becoming a genuinely useful strategy alongside buying, since conveyor spawns get noticeably rarer. Examples: Chimpanzini Bananini, Ballerina Cappuccina, Seraphino Gruyero.
5. Mythic
Spawn rates drop hard here, and Mythics are common steal targets — this is usually the point where players start actively defending their base instead of ignoring it. Examples: Frigo Camelo, Bombardiro Crocodilo, Orbi Mochi.
6. Brainrot God
Brainrot God units are announced out loud in-game when they spawn. This is the tier where community trading value starts to genuinely matter. Examples: Cocofanto Elefanto, Tralalero Tralala, Dug Dug Dug.
7. Secret
Most Secrets never appear on the conveyor at all — they come from Lucky Blocks, Admin Abuse events, or crafting. This is where the highest-stakes trading happens. Examples: La Vacca Saturno Saturnita, Dragon Cannelloni, Griffin.
8. OG
OG is the ceiling. Spawn odds are close to zero, exist counts are tiny, and each one triggers its own special in-game event when it appears. Examples: Meowl, Strawberry Elephant, Spyder Elephant.
Rarity Tier Comparison Table

| Legendary | $45K – $347.5K | Conveyor + stealing |
| Mythic | $450K – $5.5M | Conveyor (rare) + stealing |
| Brainrot God | $8M – $76M | Stealing, Admin Abuse, crafting |
| Secret | $80M – $120B+ | Lucky Blocks, events, crafting |
| OG | $45B – $400B+ | Special events only |
How Rarity Affects Trading Value
Rarity sets the rough price bracket a Brainrot falls into, but it's not the full story. Two factors decide the real number: mutation and exist count.
A mutation like Gold, Diamond, or Rainbow multiplies the base value shown above — a Rainbow-mutated Rare can genuinely out-value a plain Legendary. Exist count matters too: a scarce Brainrot God with very few copies in circulation can hold value better than a more common Secret.
Use the trading calculator to combine rarity, mutation, and current value into one number before agreeing to any trade.
Can a Brainrot's Rarity Change?
Yes — Sammy occasionally reclassifies a Brainrot into a higher tier as the game's economy evolves. Headless Horseman, for example, was originally a Secret before being buffed up to OG rarity, and several Brainrot God, Mythic, and Legendary units have been bumped up to Secret over time.
When a reclassification happens, cost and income usually rise to match the new tier. If you're holding an item that gets buffed, its trading value typically goes up with it — which is exactly why it's worth checking this page and the value list periodically rather than assuming last month's numbers still apply. Steal a Brainrot's economy has shifted many times since its 2025 release, and reclassifications are part of that ongoing evolution.
Rarity vs. Mutation: Don't Confuse Them
Rarity and mutation are two separate systems that both affect a Brainrot's worth, and mixing them up is one of the most common trading mistakes.
- Rarity is fixed per Brainrot — it's set by the developer and rarely changes
- Mutation (None, Gold, Diamond, Rainbow) is random and applies on top of the base rarity, multiplying its value
So a "Legendary" isn't always worth more than a "Rare" — it depends entirely on which specific item and which mutation you're comparing. See our full mutations guide for exact multipliers.
Common Misconceptions About Rarity
- "Higher rarity always means higher trading value" — false once mutation and exist count are factored in
- "Rare Brainrots are actually rare" — the tier name is misleading; Rare is still an early-game, high-spawn tier
- "Rarity never changes" — it can, through developer reclassifications like the Headless Horseman example above
- "All Secrets outrank all Brainrot Gods" — usually true, but a very scarce, high-income Brainrot God can occasionally trade close to a common Secret
Tips for Progressing Through the Tiers
- Don't over-invest below Epic — Common and Rare units get outgrown within your first real session
- Start defending your base once you hit Mythic — this is when other players start actively targeting you
- Prioritize Admin Abuse events for Brainrot God and above — the conveyor becomes unreliable for these tiers
- Track exist counts, not just rarity labels, once you're trading Secret or OG-tier items

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the highest rarity in Steal a Brainrot?
OG is the highest and rarest tier, sitting above Secret. It includes Meowl, Strawberry Elephant, and Spyder Elephant, each triggering its own special event when it spawns.
Is Rare actually a rare tier?
No — despite the name, Rare is still an early-game tier that spawns very frequently on the conveyor. Most players move past it within their first hour of play.
Does rarity determine a Brainrot's trading value?
It sets the baseline, but mutation and exist count decide the real number. A mutated lower-tier Brainrot can genuinely out-value a plain higher-tier one.
Can a Brainrot move to a different rarity tier?
Yes. Sammy has reclassified several Brainrots over time — Headless Horseman, for example, was buffed from Secret to OG.
What's the difference between Brainrot God and Secret?
Brainrot God sits just below Secret and is announced out loud in-game when it spawns. Secret Brainrots are typically event, Lucky Block, or crafting exclusives, with much higher cost and income than most Brainrot Gods.
