Module Tier List in Wanderburg (Community)
This is an editorial synthesis of community reports for build 0.9.8, not an official ranking. The pattern is consistent: auto-firing and stun modules carry builds, single-purpose damage modules are strong in their niche, and utility modules are only worth a slot once the core works.
Tiers
| Tier | Modules | Why |
|---|---|---|
| S | Lightning Mage, Archer Tower, Side Ballista, Turret Layer | Community reports rate these highest: they keep damaging while you drive, and the mage line adds stun |
| A | Side Cannons, Cannon Tower, Top Mortar, Ram | High burst in their arc; strongest once their artifact or speed support is in place |
| B | Side Barracks, Front Cannon, Fire Mage, Mine Layer | Solid, but they need the right slot or unlock path to pay off |
| Utility | Dash, Teleporter, Force Mage, Repair Crew, Companion, Catapult | Fills a gap rather than carrying damage; take once the core is set |
Mechanics that change the ranking
- Auto-attacking modules rate higher than active-only modules because they keep working while you position.
- Stun is worth more than raw damage against the third and fourth boss of a Land.
- Cannon-family artifacts can also affect mortars and mines, so the effective tier moves with your artifact luck.
- A module that is S tier on the starting castle can be unusable on Spiderburg, which has no Side slot.

FAQ
Common questions about this topic.
What are the best modules in Wanderburg?
Community reports rate the Lightning Mage, Archer Tower, Side Ballista and Turret Layer highest because they keep dealing damage while you drive.
Is this tier list official?
No. It is an editorial synthesis of community reports for build 0.9.8 and module balance changes between patches.
Why is auto-attack rated so highly?
Auto-attacking modules keep working while you focus on positioning, which is where most late runs are won or lost.
Does the tier change per vehicle?
Yes. Spiderburg has no Side slot, so any Side module is effectively unusable on it.
