If you’ve been wondering which Oaken Tower packs are the most enjoyable to play, the game’s developer recently shared their personal tier list. One important thing to know before diving in is that this isn’t based on the strongest meta packs or win rates.
Instead, the rankings focus on something many players care about just as much—how fun each pack feels to play, how unique its mechanics are, and how satisfying its synergies become over the course of a run.
So if you’re looking for the most entertaining packs rather than simply the strongest ones, here’s a breakdown of every pack and why it earned its place.
Oaken Tower Pack Tier List 2026 – Best Packs Ranked
| Tier | Packs |
|---|---|
| S Tier | Moon, Goblin (Upcoming) |
| A Tier | Dragon (Upcoming), Frosty, Storm, Dark |
| B Tier | Neutral, Witch, Elven, Arcane, Holy |
| C Tier | Crystal, Flame |
Keep in mind these rankings are based entirely on gameplay enjoyment rather than competitive strength.
S Tier Packs
Moon Pack
The Moon Pack is considered one of the most enjoyable packs in the game thanks to its heavy focus on Multicast.
Originally, Moon revolved around leveling mechanics, but that design was eventually replaced with a much more exciting Multicast-focused identity.
Some of its standout items include:
- Moon Veil
- Moonstone
- Lunar Codex
- Silver Lance
- Crescent Shot
The entire pack works like a machine gun once your Multicast starts stacking, creating incredibly satisfying chain attacks throughout a run.
It’s one of the most explosive and visually entertaining builds currently available.
Goblin Pack (Upcoming)
Although it hasn’t released yet, the developer already considers the Goblin Pack a potential favorite.
The pack introduces two major mechanics.
Goblin Item Synergy
Many Goblin items directly strengthen other Goblin items, encouraging players to build an entire Goblin-focused setup instead of mixing random cards together.
Bomb Builds
The second mechanic revolves around powerful bombs.
Three different bomb types are planned:
- Damage Bomb
- Poison Bomb
- Burn Bomb
Each bomb has a long cooldown but delivers an enormous effect when activated.
Additional Goblin items will interact specifically with bombs, creating combinations that the developer believes could become some of the most entertaining builds in the game.
A Tier Packs
Dragon Pack (Upcoming)
The upcoming Dragon Pack focuses on one particularly interesting mechanic:
Abilities that become stronger when they critically strike.
Existing Dragon-themed items already hint at this design.
For example:
- Dragon Orb
- Dragon’s Call
Dragon Orb normally grants Health whenever it activates.
However, if it lands a critical hit, the effect becomes even stronger.
Many future Dragon items will follow this philosophy, rewarding players for stacking critical chance and creating powerful crit-based interactions.
A secondary theme also revolves around Unique Bow synergies.
Frosty Pack
The Frosty Pack is built around:
- Critical Hits
- Permanent Crit Scaling
- Projectile Spam
Some of its most notable items include:
- Cold Shot
- Ice Spear
- Winter’s Embrace
- Glacier
- Sapphire Amulet
One of the biggest highlights is Cold Shot, which can rapidly fire multiple projectiles once Multicast enters the build.
Combined with Winter’s Embrace, the screen quickly fills with attacks, making Frosty one of the flashiest packs in the game.
Storm Pack
Storm introduces the game’s unique Shock mechanic.
Instead of relying on traditional damage-over-time effects, Shock deals repeated flat damage that can later be amplified through other Storm items.
Important cards include:
- Skybolt
- Tempest
- Staff of Zeus
- Storm Guard
Staff of Zeus recently received improvements that allow Shock effects to trigger twice, creating some very satisfying combinations with Tempest.
Players who enjoy combo-heavy builds will likely appreciate Storm.
Dark Pack
Dark revolves around Start of Combat effects.
Many items activate powerful bonuses immediately as battles begin.
Some standout cards include:
- Night Quill
- Dark Necklace
- Executioner
- Decay
- Bat Wing
The developer mentioned that this mechanic was inspired by Deathrattle interactions from autobattlers, giving the Dark Pack a unique identity compared to the others.
It’s one of the most creative packs currently available.
B Tier Packs
Neutral Pack
Ranking the Neutral Pack is difficult because it contains a huge variety of utility items rather than a single focused strategy.
Some fan favorites include:
- Dream Catcher
- Modern Archery
- Anvil
- Lost Fragment
- Nature’s Call
These cards don’t necessarily define a build on their own, but they enable many powerful combinations across nearly every archetype.
Witch Pack
The Witch Pack specializes in generating and using potions.
It becomes much stronger during longer Endless runs, where potion generation can scale to ridiculous levels.
Key items include:
- Cauldron
- Simple Curses
Interestingly, the developer believes Cauldron deserves more attention and may receive buffs in the future since most players currently rely on Simple Curses instead.
Elven Pack
Elven offers two completely different playstyles.
You can build around:
- Poison
- Tempo
Poison-focused items include:
- Poison Dagger
- Venom Ring
Meanwhile, Tempo strategies make use of cards like:
- Refined Spear
- Refined Bow
- Razorleaf
That flexibility makes Elven interesting, even if it isn’t among the developer’s absolute favorites.
Arcane Pack
Arcane centers around stacking multiple different debuffs simultaneously.
Instead of focusing on only Burn or Bleed, the pack encourages applying as many unique debuffs as possible.
Popular items include:
- Void Spike
- Void Stinger
- Runic Shield
- Wild Magic
Void Stinger is especially powerful because it helps apply several debuffs on its own while permanently increasing its damage over time.
Holy Pack
Holy focuses on:
- Healing
- Cleansing Debuffs
- Survivability
Notable cards include:
- Redemption
- Protector
- Healer’s Oath
Although the developer admits Holy is very strong, they simply don’t find it quite as exciting as some of the more offensive packs.
C Tier Packs
Crystal Pack
Crystal specializes in Bleed.
Some useful cards include:
- Shard Fang
- Topaz Spear
- Amber
Topaz Spear fits nicely into several different builds, especially those capable of triggering attacks frequently.
Despite having a few excellent cards, the overall package wasn’t considered especially exciting compared to higher-ranked options.
Flame Pack
Flame is one of the simplest archetypes in Oaken Tower.
Its goal is straightforward:
Apply as much Burn as possible and let damage-over-time finish the fight.
Notable cards include:
- Doom Guide
- Burn-focused weapons
The developer describes Flame as beginner-friendly but feels its gameplay becomes repetitive after spending many hours with the game.
Upcoming Packs to Watch
Both future packs look especially promising.
Dragon
Focuses on:
- Critical-hit abilities
- Enhanced critical effects
- Unique Bow synergies
Goblin
Focuses on:
- Internal Goblin item synergies
- Powerful Bomb mechanics
- High-impact combo gameplay
Of the two, the developer is particularly excited about Goblin, even suggesting it may eventually become the most enjoyable pack in the game.
While every pack in Oaken Tower offers its own unique identity, the developer’s favorites lean toward builds that create flashy combos, rapid-fire attacks, and satisfying synergies rather than simple damage increases.
If you’re looking for the most entertaining experience, the Moon Pack currently sits at the top among released content thanks to its Multicast-focused gameplay. Looking ahead, both the Dragon and especially the Goblin Pack appear set to introduce some of the game’s most creative mechanics yet, with Goblin’s bomb-based strategies already shaping up to be one of the most exciting additions planned for future updates.
