Melt All The Ice Tier Lists
Ranked heat tools and class roles so you spend currency on what actually clears ice faster.
How to use these tier lists
Melt All The Ice! throws you into a fully frozen house with almost nothing but a hairdryer fantasy and a promise: buy better heat tools, upgrade their power, carve rooms open, and uncover what caused the freeze. Tier lists exist to stop you from dumping early cash into flashy but inefficient buys.
This hub links two focused rankings:
- Heat tools tier list — starter hairdryer through mid kits to endgame heat weapons, scored on melt power, clear speed, and upgrade cost efficiency
- Classes tier list — melter, scout, and support-style roles for solo sessions and 20-player co-op lobbies
Ranks use a simple S / A / B / C scale. S means prioritize when you can afford it. C means situational or outclassed once better options unlock. Lists assume fair play on the live Roblox build—not scripted farms from the Scripts Hub.
Ranking criteria
Tools
- Raw melt throughput — how quickly a tool deletes ice volume when aimed well
- Ease of use — forgiving hitboxes help new players (see how to melt)
- Cost curve — power per currency spent during early and mid game
- Upgrade synergy — whether melt-power and capacity upgrades scale the tool smoothly (upgrades guide)
- Room utility — narrow corridors vs open foyer clears
Classes / roles
- Contribution to shared clears on server size 20
- Solo viability when friends are offline
- Synergy with tool tiers — a scout with a weak tool still underperforms
- Learning curve for players coming from the Getting Started path
Quick recommendations
Day one: Stay on the hairdryer only long enough to fund the first meaningful heat upgrade. Do not over-invest cosmetics before melt power.
Mid house: Pivot to A-tier tools that open bedrooms, kitchens, and hallways without endless spraying. Cross-check the walkthrough so you know which rooms gate story progress.
Co-op nights: Assign one primary melter, one scout for unexplored wings, and optional support for buffs or revive-style help if your class kit offers it. Details live on the classes tier list and co-op guide.
Endgame fantasy: S-tier heat weapons exist to finish stubborn deep-freeze volumes and speed completion goals after you understand the freeze mystery.
How often meta shifts
The Frozen Studio ships balance and content updates (see Updates Hub). A tool that feels S-tier today can slide if melt multipliers or prices change. Revisit this hub after patches, and treat community hearsay as temporary until you test in your own server.

How to read a rank in practice
Open the tools tier list with your current currency total in mind. If an S-tier heater costs more than two full mid-house clears, treat the best affordable A-tier as your real target and keep farming with clean aim from How to Melt. On the classes tier list, pick the role your lobby is missing rather than stacking three melters who all spray the same foyer ice.
When a friend claims a new “meta” tool after a patch, verify melt times yourself for thirty seconds in a quiet room before rewriting your shop plan. Cross-check Updates for official notes, then return here. Ranks are a compass, not a script: clean aim on a B-tier tool still beats messy spraying on an S-tier blaster, and the walkthrough still decides which rooms matter next.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for Melt All The Ice players.
What do S, A, B, and C mean here?
S is highest priority for melt efficiency. A is excellent for most players. B is workable or transitional. C is early, situational, or quickly replaced.
Should I follow the tool list or the class list first?
New players should climb tools first via the tools tier list, then specialize roles using the classes list once co-op groups form.
Is the hairdryer ever S-tier?
No—it is the intentional starter. It teaches the melt fantasy, then you replace it. See the hairdryer deep dive.
Do these tiers assume paid Robux items?
Ranks emphasize progression you can earn in-session. Cosmetics or gamepasses, if any, are called out as optional—not required for S-tier clears.
Will updates change the tier list?
Yes. After major patches listed on the Updates Hub, re-test melt times and adjust purchases.
