Fatal Baboons Per-Monster Counters & Notes
Expanded threat cards that sit under the S-C danger tier list.
This page expands the Tier List Hub into per-monster counter cards for Fatal Baboons after the New Lab revamp. Use it when you know a name and need the answer fast. For narrative drills, open Survive Monsters; for numbers-only, open Monster Stats; for yellow-hall specialists, open Backrooms.
Remember the global loop: scrap max 6, sell at the Scrap Recycler next to Abby’s Shop, monsters cannot enter Safe Zones, fightback is F on eligible grabs, Crown scrap is 50 coins, co-op is online on Roblox servers sized for 20.
S-tier cards
Null - Backrooms
Why S: Speed 54, freezes only while watched, lookaway rushes, extreme punishment for UI flicks. Counter: Eyes on; squad watcher; F on grab; spend ~30s immunity on extraction; respect second-catch lethality. Cross-links: Fightback, Backrooms.
Meater - Lab
Why S: Fastest Lab sprint (40) with sharp turns. Counter: Spot first, break LOS immediately, refuse ego hallway races, rotate wings when he owns a corridor. Scrap note: Never escort Crowns through known Meater lanes-Scrap Farming.
Mimic - Backrooms
Why S: Player disguise plus ~40s chase after reveal. Counter: Face checks, friend-only questions, never share stash routes early. Social note: Players habits reduce free kills.
A-tier cards
Bertha - Lab
Kit: Instant 38, turning ~60%, low-ish attack profile, fightback eligible. Counter: Assume chase on sight, jump, slam corners, F if grabbed. Rank softens versus Meater because recovery exists.
Brute - Lab
Kit: 35-42 over ~5s, heavy turning ~70%, jumpable swings. Counter: Deny ramp with early LOS breaks; jump when cornered; do not gift long straights after second three.
Meat - Backrooms
Kit: ~35, tall grab, climbing fails, fightback eligible. Counter: Lateral movement, F on grab, stop perching. Pair with Null awareness so you do not solve one threat by creating another.
B-tier cards
John - Lab
Kit: Blind, sound ~145 studs, pink screen = sprinting. Counter: Freeze or micro-tap movement; mute squad chaos; drop sprint addiction. Loud farms convert John into accidental S-tier.
Spitter - Lab
Kit: Goo ~every 5s, -20% speed ~4.5s. Counter: Strafe spit, disengage while slowed, never loot during slow if Brute/Meater nearby. Spitter is a setup artist for the rest of the roster.
C-tier card
Dimmer - Lab
Kit: Light drain aura more than footrace dominance. Counter: Memorize borders and recycler lines; buddy up in dark wings; treat unknown side rooms as closed when bulbs die. Becomes nasty support whenever another hunter shares the blackout.
Matchup matrix (quick)
| If you are- | Prioritize avoiding |
|---|---|
| Carrying Crowns | Meater halls, Null rooms, Mimic strangers |
| Learning silence | John-heavy wings |
| Practicing F | Bertha/Meat before Null finals |
| Slowed by goo | Every A/S threat until Safe Zone |
| In darkness | Unmapped rooms + any sprinter |
Scrap and borders still beat “skill issues”
Players blame tier placement when the real mistake was holding 6/6 past a painted Safe Zone. Counters assume you still sell. Re-read Getting Started if deaths cluster on full bags.
How this page stays honest
Stats come from post-revamp documentation and reproducible play patterns tied to the November 2026 roster VertexLabs shipped with the rename. When Lockdown lands, expect speed and eligibility footnotes to move first-watch Updates and future Lockdown notes.
Suggested study order
- John + Safe Zone discipline
- Brute/Bertha jump timing
- Meater LOS hygiene
- Spitter slow management
- Meat without climbing
- Null stare + fightback spend
- Mimic social protocol
- Dimmer darkness literacy
Clear those eight and the tier list becomes descriptive instead of scary. Until then, pick one card per session and make it boring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Where is the simple S-C tier table?
On the Tier List Hub parent page. This Monsters page expands each entity into counters and cross-links.
Which monsters are fightback eligible?
Focus on Null, Bertha, and Meat for F-key escapes. Always confirm the prompt in-game after patches.
Why is Spitter only B tier?
Spitter's goo rarely kills alone, but the slow sets up deadlier hunters. Manage spit first and the tier rating stays fair.
What should I read with this page?
Survive Monsters for drills, Backrooms for Null/Meat/Mimic context, Scrap Farming for bag discipline, and Monster Stats for raw numbers.
Will Lockdown change these counters?
Likely. Retuned speeds or new mechanics will require updates-check the Updates Hub after it ships.
