I’ve spent countless hours grinding through Break a Lucky Block, testing every pickaxe from the humble Wooden starter to the game-breaking God-tier tools. After hitting Rebirth 5 and maxing out multiple accounts, I’m here to share my comprehensive pickaxe tier list that’ll save you from making costly mistakes I made early on.
Break a Lucky Block is a Roblox simulator where you smash Lucky Blocks to collect brainrots that generate passive income. Your pickaxe determines everything – from which blocks you can efficiently break to how quickly you’ll progress through rebirths. With 23 different pickaxes spanning 8 rarity tiers, choosing the right ones can make or break your run.
What keeps me coming back to Break a Lucky Block is how the pickaxe progression creates meaningful choices. Unlike other simulators where you just buy everything in order, here you need to strategize. I learned this the hard way when I wasted millions on intermediate pickaxes that I replaced within hours. The smart players skip the trap picks and save for game-changers.
These pickaxes redefine your gameplay experience and are worth every penny (or Robux).
| Pickaxe | Power | Cash Cost | Robux Cost | Why It’s S Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hacker | 276 | $20B | 4799 | Highest power in game, essential for Rebirth 5+ |
| Dragon | 270 | $14B | 4599 | Incredible value for endgame content |
| Volcano | 264 | $10B | 4399 | Perfect for high-rebirth farming |
| Sea | 258 | $6B | 4199 | Best value among top-tier pickaxes |
| UFO | 252 | $3.7B | 3899 | Gateway to endgame efficiency |
My personal favorite is the Sea pickaxe – at 258 power, it’s only 18 points below Hacker but costs significantly less, making it the smartest endgame investment.
These pickaxes carry you through the crucial mid-game phase and prepare you for S tier.
| Pickaxe | Power | Cash Cost | Robux Cost | Why It’s A Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Disco | 246 | $2.5B | 3699 | Last major stepping stone before S tier |
| Holiday | 236 | $1.5B | 3499 | Great for Rebirth 3-4 progression |
| Glitch | 224 | $1B | 3299 | Solid power jump for mid-game |
| Six Seven | 214 | $670M | 3149 | First God-tier worth buying |
| Angel | 200 | $350M | 2999 | Best Secret-tier pickaxe |
| Lightning | 184 | $185M | 2699 | Good value for mid-game |
These pickaxes serve their purpose but get replaced relatively quickly.
| Pickaxe | Power | Cash Cost | Robux Cost | Why It’s B Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ancient | 166 | $100M | 2499 | Strongest B tier, but short-lived |
| Ice | 142 | $50M | 2299 | Decent mid-game option |
| Yin Yang | 126 | $25M | 1999 | Overpriced for power level |
| Fireworks | 108 | $10M | 1699 | First major power milestone |
| Galaxy | 98 | $5M | 1299 | Good for early-mid game |
| Blood Moon | 88 | $2.5M | 999 | Skip this, save for Fireworks |
| Molten | 67 | $1.2M | 629 | Actually worth buying despite B tier |
These are either starting tools or overpriced upgrades you should skip entirely.
| Pickaxe | Power | Cash Cost | Robux Cost | Why It’s C Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Radioactive | 42 | $600K | 399 | Terrible value, skip entirely |
| Candy | 30 | $250K | 299 | Overpriced for power |
| Beanstalk | 22 | $85K | 199 | Waste of money |
| Rainbow | 16 | $35K | 129 | Actually decent for early game |
| Diamond | 12 | $15K | 69 | Skip, save for Rainbow |
| Gold | 8 | $5K | 39 | Only if you can’t wait |
| Iron | 4 | $1.5K | 14 | Brief stepping stone |
| Stone | 2 | $1K | 10 | First upgrade, buy it |
| Wood | 1 | Free | — | Your starter, replace ASAP |
If you’re not spending Robux, here’s the optimal path I recommend:
If you’re willing to invest real money:
This path saves you hundreds of hours of grinding.
I’ve discovered some powerful combinations that most guides miss:
Different pickaxes excel at different block types:
| Pickaxe | Best Block Type | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Rainbow | Normal/Angel | Early game income |
| Molten | Angel/Block God | Mid-game efficiency |
| Fireworks | Block God | Fast clears |
| Lightning | Secret Blocks | High-risk, high-reward |
| Disco | All Blocks | Endgame farming |
Here’s my analysis of the best value pickaxes:
After 200+ hours of gameplay, here are mistakes that cost me millions:
I can’t stress this enough: brainrots despawn in 30 seconds. I lost a Pakrahmatmamat (worth millions) because I got greedy. Break one block, grab the brainrot, then decide your next move.
The developers recently nerfed some intermediate pickaxes and buffed others:
Based on developer announcements, expect:
Start with Stone, then save directly for Rainbow. Don’t waste money on intermediate pickaxes.
If you can afford it, the Disco pickaxe (3699 Robux) offers the best value and saves 50+ hours of grinding.
The Rainbow pickaxe offers the best power-per-dollar ratio in the early game.
Only upgrade when your current pickaxe can’t efficiently break the blocks you need for progression.
Focus on brainrot income first, then follow the F2P progression path. Alternatively, buy it directly with Robux if budget allows.
Break a Lucky Block’s pickaxe system rewards smart planning over mindless grinding. By following this tier list and progression strategies, you’ll save countless hours and millions in in-game currency. Remember: it’s not about buying every pickaxe, but buying the right pickaxes at the right time.
The key takeaway? Skip the trap picks and save for game-changers. Your future self will thank you when you’re cruising through Rebirth 5 with a Hacker pickaxe while others are still stuck grinding for intermediate tools.
