Steal an Egg for Squishy Dumplings Tier List Hub
Rank what to chase, hatch, and keep so cash and Speed climb together.
How this tier list is ranked
Steal an Egg for Squishy Dumplings is a steal-and-grow tycoon: you steal eggs from Squishy Dumplings, hatch rare Dumplings, earn money from your Squishies, upgrade treadmill and base, train Speed, then push into rarer eggs and sizes across newer zones. This Tier List Hub ranks progression value — not fashion skins — using three criteria:
- Income — how hard a hatched Squishy pulls cash while you are stealing or training.
- Chase difficulty — Speed, timing, and zone risk required to steal the egg safely.
- Hatch value — whether the egg is worth cracking for a keep, selling for a spike, or skipping until your treadmill is ready.
Tiers assume a free-to-play player on Desktop, Console, Mobile, or Tablet in six-player servers after Update 5’s New Zones focus. Meta shifts when Cr4nky Studios retunes drop tables; re-check the Updates Hub after every patch.
S tier — chase when you can survive the run
S-tier eggs and Squishies sit at the top of income-per-slot and define mid-to-late progression. They usually live behind higher Speed gates or deeper Update 5 zones. Steal them only when your treadmill investment already lets you outrun the parent Squishy and escape to your plot.
Priority advice: keep S-tier hatches for passive income. Do not auto-sell them. If cash is urgently needed for a treadmill breakpoint, sell duplicates only after you confirm you already own one income copy. Pair S targets with routes from How to Steal Eggs.
A tier — best early-mid power spikes
A-tier targets are the workhorses after your first successful steals. Chase difficulty is real but manageable once Speed training is a habit. Hatch value is high enough that these Squishies fund plot upgrades without demanding perfect movement every attempt.
Priority advice: fill income slots with A-tier keeps before obsessing over every S sighting. Use How to Make Money to decide when an A duplicate should be sold for an upgrade lump sum.
B tier — solid fillers and learning tools
B-tier eggs teach timing and camera angles without punishing every mistake. Income is respectable for early plots but falls behind once A and S keeps occupy slots. Hatch value is situational: keep if slots are empty, sell if you are racing a treadmill upgrade that unlocks safer rare routes.
Priority advice: farm B targets to practice approach and escape. Graduate to A routes as soon as Speed allows. See Speed Training for when to pause steals and live on the treadmill.
C tier — skip, sell, or use as warm-ups
C-tier eggs are common, low income, or poor ROI once you leave the tutorial belt. They still matter on day one because any hatch beats an empty plot. After you have a few income Squishies, treat C eggs as warm-up steals or instant sell material.
Priority advice: do not spend long chases on C targets in contested six-player servers. Rotate toward B and A nests, and study names and sizes on the Eggs & Squishies page so you recognize upgrades at a glance.
Income versus difficulty matrix
| Tier | Income role | Chase difficulty | Hatch decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Core late income | High Speed / deeper zones | Keep; sell only extras |
| A | Midgame engine | Medium after treadmill ranks | Keep first copy |
| B | Early filler / practice | Low–medium | Keep if slots free |
| C | Starter cash | Low | Sell once A/S exist |
Rarity labels and size steps both matter. A “rarer” tag usually means better income but a meaner chase. Larger sizes can amplify payouts while making the steal window tighter — details live in the Items Hub and egg catalog.
Update 4 and Update 5 impact
Update 4 (New Eggs + Squishes, event window around September 26, 2026) expanded the hatch pool and forced many players to re-rank keeps. Update 5 (New Zones & More) shifted where high-tier eggs spawn and increased the value of Speed breakpoints that open those zones. If your personal list still prioritizes pre-Update-4 nests, refresh routes using Update 5 notes and the Getting Started loop reminder.
How to use this list in a session
- Check your Speed and plot income before joining a server.
- Pick one tier band to farm (for example “only A and above”).
- Steal, escape, hatch or sell per the matrix, then immediately dump cash into treadmill or plot ROI upgrades.
- Re-evaluate keeps every time a new zone opens or a Squishy underperforms.
Avoid spreading attention across every egg on the map. Focused S/A farming beats random C steals even when the lobby looks busy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common Squishy Dumplings questions.
What does S tier mean in this wiki?
S tier means highest progression priority: strong income keeps that are worth the harder chase once your Speed and zone access are ready.
Should I always steal the rarest egg I see?
No. If your Speed cannot finish the escape, a failed S chase wastes time. Farm A or B targets until the treadmill catches up.
Do sizes change the tier of a Squishy?
Larger sizes often improve income but can raise chase difficulty. Rank the specific keep by payout after hatch, not by name alone.
How often is this tier list updated?
After content drops like Update 4 New Eggs + Squishes and Update 5 New Zones. Check the Updates Hub whenever spawn tables shift.
