How Many Dudes Round 105 G.O.A.T. Build — Tier 1 Clear

Direct answer: this owner-recorded Tier 1 run cleared Round 105 with 14 Ghosts, 27 Wizards, 26 Quantums, 23 Paladins and 27 Vikings available before the fight. The encounter was 1 The G.O.A.T. plus 250 Rams under Swampy Grounds. Wizard led the result table with 115 kills and 214k damage; Quantum supplied 102k healing; Paladin recorded 117 saves and 121k damage prevented; Viking prevented 134k damage. The team won, but only 16 of its 117 roster Dudes were still conscious on the result screen.

Use this as a proven clear, not a universal tier list

The recording proves that this five-Type roster can clear the Tier 1 G.O.A.T. under the captured conditions. It does not prove that these are the five best Dudes for every seed, mode, Tier or patch.

Build at a glance

Field	Recorded value
Outcome	Tier 1 victory at Round 105
Boss encounter	1 The G.O.A.T. + 250 Rams
Modifier	Swampy Grounds
Pre-fight roster	117/117 Dudes
Core Types	Ghost, Wizard, Quantum, Paladin, Viking
Summons in results	157 Echo Dudes generated by Quantum
Cash before fight	$116 after the captured merchant sequence
Visible consumable use	Burner Phone, Dude Juice, Bottled Lightning and Meteor
Footage boundary	Uncut supplied recordings cover Rounds 61–105; Rounds 1–60 of this build were not supplied

This is a different run from the site’s Hacker–Construction route and its Round 94 failure. The two recordings are useful as a contrast, but their rosters and early decisions must not be stitched into one route.

The five jobs in the successful roster

The footage supports a job-based explanation better than a simple ranking:

• Wizard was the main damage stack. It led recorded kills and damage at both Round 90 and Round 105.
• Quantum was the recovery engine. Its Echo summons added bodies, while the result table attributes 102k healing to Quantum at Round 105.
• Paladin combined rescue and protection. It recorded 117 saves and 121k prevention in the boss result.
• Viking added damage and the largest prevention total. It finished with 114k damage and 134k prevented.
• Ghost contributed healing, prevention and damage while using the smallest roster block. Thirteen of 14 were knocked out at the boss, so it should not be described as a solo carry.

The result is a layered team: damage, healing, saves, prevention and expendable Echo bodies all remain represented. That is the transferable lesson; copying the exact counts without the same Relics, economy and consumables is not guaranteed to reproduce it.

Round 71: the engine was already working

The Round 71 result shows a clean win over 227 Ravens with no roster-Type knockouts. Wizard produced 89 kills and 27k damage, while Quantum and Ghost already supplied healing.

Type	Active / total	Kills	Damage	Healing	Prevention
Ghost	10/10	15	3.4k	2.6k	1.2k
Wizard	18/18	89	27k	0	2k
Quantum	17/17	23	4.8k	6.3k	4.1k
Paladin	13/13	18	4.3k	0	4.4k
Viking	20/20	19	17k	0	2.9k
Echo	34/34	3	782	1.2k	0

Round 71 is an early proof point: the five roster Types win with no knockouts, and the Echo row is already visible.

Round 75: capacity reached 86/86

At the Round 75 merchant the active roster was 86/86: 11 Ghosts, 21 Wizards, 18 Quantums, 14 Paladins, one Regular and 21 Vikings. The shop displayed Dude Juice, Padded Helmet, Death Rattle and Burner Phone.

The screen proves the offer and roster state, not the final purchase. That distinction matters because a late victory cannot be attributed to every item that happened to appear in a shop.

Round 75: the five-Type core is fully active, with one remaining Regular visible before the later roster settles into five Types.

Round 90: pressure exposed each Type’s role

Round 90 was a much larger test: 662 Ravens. Eleven roster Dudes and six Echoes were knocked out, but the run continued.

Type	Active / total	KO’d	Saves	Kills	Damage	Healing	Prevention
Ghost	6/13	3	0	45	10k	3.4k	2.9k
Wizard	25/25	0	14	292	75k	1.2k	5.3k
Quantum	14/19	3	0	62	21k	14k	8.5k
Paladin	14/19	3	22	98	21k	8.5k	15k
Viking	22/24	2	9	157	36k	3.4k	15k
Echo	28/34	6	0	8	2.5k	2.9k	0

Wizard supplies the largest damage block; Paladin and Viking add saves and prevention; Quantum records the most healing.

Do not turn the raw totals into a per-Dude tier list. The Types had different counts, roles, Relics, targets and time alive.

Round 95 to Round 100: recover first, keep scaling

At the Round 95 merchant, the run displayed 103/107 available Dudes: 11/13 Ghost, 25/25 Wizard, 22/22 Quantum, 22/22 Paladin and 25/25 Viking. The shop offered Dude Juice, Living Will, Lieutenant’s Sigil and Pocket Dice.

Only four displayed roster Dudes were unavailable at Round 95. This is the opposite of the separate failed run's 41/110 state at Round 94.

By the Round 99 recruit screen, the roster was 111/111: 14 Ghosts, 25 Wizards, 24 Quantums, 23 Paladins and 25 Vikings. The captured Flyer choice shows Quantum and Ghost, and the footage continues through the Round 100 battle.

Round 99: the roster has recovered to 111/111 before the final Act.

Round 100 is not the Tier 1 finish. The recording proceeds into The Coliseum, Act 6.

How many rounds are in Tier 1?

For this full-release Tier 1 path, Round 100 is not the final clear. The recording enters The Coliseum, Act 6, and the G.O.A.T. appears at Round 105. The developer’s current new-player guide also identifies the Tier 1 G.O.A.T. at Round 105 as the first Gold Star target.

The Act 6 title is direct evidence that this Tier 1 route continues beyond Round 100.

The official guide describes the G.O.A.T. as a high-health, mobile burst threat accompanied by hundreds of Rams. That explains why a team needs more than damage: it must survive or recover from the boss’s burst while clearing the minion pressure.

Exact Round 105 setup

Immediately before the boss, the screen shows 117/117 Dudes:

Type	Active / total
Ghost	14/14
Wizard	27/27
Quantum	26/26
Paladin	23/23
Viking	27/27
Roster total	117/117

The encounter shows Swampy Grounds, 1 The G.O.A.T., 250 Rams, and $510 as the fight reward. Cash displayed after the merchant sequence was $116.

Outcome evidence begins with the exact pre-fight state, not only the later victory screen.

What happened in the G.O.A.T. fight

The recording visibly uses emergency tools including Burner Phone, Dude Juice, Bottled Lightning and Meteor. Those tools matter: the result should not be credited to the roster alone.

Meteor is visibly used after the 250 Rams are gone. The recording also shows Dude Juice and repositioning tools during the late fight.

The roster falls to very low active counts before recovering enough to finish. A full 117/117 start did not make the boss safe; it created the capacity for the team’s saves, prevention, summons and consumables to matter.

Full Round 105 result table

The victory screen records 250 Rams and 1 The G.O.A.T. defeated, with $510 earned.

Type	Surviving / total	KO’d	Saves	Kills	Damage	Healing	Prevention	Damage taken
Ghost	1/14	13	0	11	44k	22k	64k	36k
Wizard	4/27	23	61	115	214k	3.2k	70k	53k
Quantum	2/26	24	0	27	38k	102k	59k	29k
Paladin	5/23	18	117	36	108k	70k	121k	138k
Viking	4/27	23	36	57	114k	15k	134k	56k
Echo	4/157	153	0	4	3.7k	29k	31k	66k

This is the proof of the clear: Round 105, Tier 1, 250 Rams and the G.O.A.T. defeated.

What the successful run teaches

1. Enter the late game with active Dudes, not only capacity

The successful run displayed 103/107 at Round 95, 111/111 at Round 99 and 117/117 before Round 105. The separate failed run entered Round 94 at 41/110. This does not prove one fixed safe ratio, but it is strong evidence that late-run recovery is part of the build.

2. Wizard damage needed defensive and recovery layers

Wizard’s 214k damage led the boss result, yet 23 of 27 Wizards were knocked out. The clear also required Paladin saves, Quantum healing, Viking prevention, Ghost support, Echo bodies and visible consumable use. “Stack Wizard” is incomplete advice by itself.

3. The boss nearly wiped the roster

Only 1 Ghost, 4 Wizards, 2 Quantums, 5 Paladins and 4 Vikings remained conscious on the result screen. A successful build can still be fragile. Treat the exact clear as evidence of sufficiency under these conditions, not proof of a large safety margin.

4. Round 100 preparation must target Round 105

The route continues into Act 6. Spending every recovery item at Round 100 can leave the actual Tier 1 boss uncovered. Preserve a plan for burst survival, minion clearing, movement/repositioning and in-fight revival.

Retry checklist

1. Record the mode, Tier and current version before comparing builds.
2. Check active/total counts at every late merchant; do not let capacity disguise a recovery deficit.
3. Keep a primary damage block, but also cover healing, saves or cheat-death, and damage prevention.
4. Plan area damage for the 250 Rams and enough single-target pressure for the G.O.A.T.
5. Carry a repositioning or control answer for a mobile boss.
6. Preserve at least one emergency recovery line for Round 105.
7. Attribute the result to Relics, consumables and the roster together; do not copy only the five Type names.

What this evidence does not prove

• Rounds 1–60 of this exact run were not supplied, so no early Flyer or Relic route is reconstructed.
• Shop screenshots prove offers, not every final selection.
• The exact executable build number was not recorded.
• The footage proves Tier 1, not Tier 2, Tier 3 or an Endless record.
• The final collection screen settles at 151/448 Discoveries, 133/448 Silver Stars and 54/448 Gold Stars. Those are the profile totals shown after the animation, not all rewards attributed to this single run.

These are final profile totals after the clear, not a claim that the run earned every displayed item.

FAQ

What is the best How Many Dudes build?

There is no verified universal best build. This Ghost–Wizard–Quantum–Paladin–Viking team is a verified Tier 1 Round 105 clear with exact conditions and results. Use its roles as a template and adapt to the Relics and offers actually available in your run.

Is Round 100 the end of How Many Dudes Tier 1?

No. In this full-release Tier 1 recording, Round 100 is followed by The Coliseum, Act 6. The G.O.A.T. clear occurs at Round 105.

How do you beat the G.O.A.T.?

This clear combined Wizard damage, Quantum healing and Echoes, Paladin saves, Viking prevention, Ghost support, a full 117-Dude pre-fight roster and visible emergency consumables. The official guide’s broader requirements are burst survival, mobility and an answer to the Ram wave.

Does this build guarantee a Gold Star?

No. It proves one Gold Star clear under the captured Tier 1 conditions. Seeds, Relics, encounter choices, economy, targeting and patches can change the result.

Why are Echo Dudes not listed in the pre-fight roster?

Echoes are summons generated by Quantum Dudes during combat. They appear as a separate row in result screens but are not one of the five selected roster Types.
