Scare Your Neighbor best minions: choose by the real bottleneck

A source-aware Scare Your Neighbor minion guide for deciding when minion upgrades matter more than speed, training or base upgrades.

No verified minion tier list yetThe current public game description confirms minions and their package-processing role, not a complete roster, damage table or permanent ranking.

What “best minion” should mean

In the current loop, minions break stolen packages into valuable items. That makes a minion upgrade useful when processing is the part of the run that is keeping money or items behind, not automatically the moment a new purchase appears.

01MinionsPrioritise them when packages are waiting to be processed or the item result is the clear delay.
02TreadmillChoose movement when the package return trip takes longer than the scare or processing step.
03Scare trainerChoose it when starting each package is the slowest repeatable part of your route.
04BaseExpand the base after the small package loop works; a larger home does not fix a broken route.

How to test an upgrade

  1. Record the current package, route and upgrade level.
  2. Complete two short runs without changing another variable.
  3. Buy the upgrade and repeat the same route.
  4. Keep the change only if the repeatable delay or income result actually improved.
