Season 6 introduces 3 new characters to Eggy Party, each with unique abilities that shake up the meta. Here's our full review and ranking for each one.
🆕 New Characters Overview
🌟 Nova
Unlock: Season 6 Battle Pass Tier 30
Rating: S-Tier for Survival, A-Tier for Race
Nova's Star Burst is one of the best crowd control abilities in the game. In survival mode, using it when surrounded by 3+ opponents can turn the tide completely. The 1.5 second stun is enough time to escape a dangerous situation or knock someone off a platform.
Best for: Survival mode, team mode, and chaotic sections of race maps.
Cooldown: 14 seconds. Can be reduced to 11 seconds with ability upgrade.
🌀 Zephyr
Unlock: 800 Eggy Gems from the shop
Rating: S-Tier for Race, B-Tier for Survival
Zephyr's Wind Dash is the best mobility skill in Season 6. The invincibility frames let you pass through hazards and opponent abilities. On race maps with shortcuts, Zephyr can skip entire sections. The double dash distance is especially powerful on Sky Garden's rotating platforms.
Best for: Race mode, any map with high-risk shortcuts.
Cooldown: 16 seconds. Invincibility lasts 0.8 seconds (enough to pass most single obstacles).
🛡️ Shard
Unlock: Special Event — "Crystal Cavern" (limited time)
Rating: A-Tier for Team and Survival
Shard's Crystal Wall is a strategic ability that rewards smart placement. In team mode, place the wall at chokepoints to split the enemy team. In survival, use it to block incoming projectiles. The wall lasts 4 seconds and has 3 charges before going on cooldown.
Best for: Team mode, survival mode, narrow corridors.
Cooldown: 20 seconds (after using all 3 charges). Each charge regenerates every 7 seconds.
📊 Updated Tier List (With S6 Characters)
- S-Tier: Zephyr (Race), Nova (Survival), Minty (Race), Rosie (Survival)
- A-Tier: Shard (Team), Rocky (Team), Yeggy (All-rounder)
- B-Tier: Bulu (Survival), Minty (Survival)
🎯 Upgrade Priority
Once you unlock a new character, focus upgrades in this order:
- Ability cooldown reduction — Lower cooldown = more plays per match
- Ability duration/effect — Longer or stronger ability effects
- Base stats — Speed and defense are universal, ability upgrades are character-specific
🏆 Verdict
Season 6 brings the most balanced character roster yet. There's no single "must-have" character for all modes — each new addition excels in specific scenarios. Zephyr is the most exciting addition for race enthusiasts, while Nova and Shard add meaningful depth to team and survival modes.
