LEGO Fortnite: Best Villagers, Ranked

Highlights

• In LEGO Fortnite, there are various Villagers that players can recruit to help with different tasks and professions. Here are some of the best Villagers for specific jobs:
• Hayseed – Best for farming crops like Wheat and growing food.
• Tabby – Best for collecting gems, providing access to resources like Rough Amber and Cut Amber.

LEGO Fortnite throws players into a large open sandbox world where they can build and upgrade their Village, craft various items and gear, and explore different biomes. While some players may be determined to explore the world alone, even solo players can be offered a helping hand, as LEGO Fortnite features fun NPCs that play an interesting role in the game.

Villagers serve as an extra set of helping hands in LEGO Fortnite. These colorful characters include some familiar faces from Fortnite Battle Royale and can be assigned to the player’s Village, where they can take on different job roles to further the player’s progress. Although all Villagers can be assigned to almost any job role, some are definitely more proficient at certain tasks than others. Here are the best Villagers in LEGO Fortnite, ranked!

10 Brite Bomber

A Starter Villager That Offers Some Useful Tips & Tricks

• Best Jobs: Gathering Resources

Brite Bomber, one of the most well-known characters in Fortnite in general, is one of the first Villagers that players will come across. As LEGO Fortnite’s starter Villager, Brite Bomber serves as a great guide for players who are jumping into their first world, as she provides players with her very own Brite Bomber Village upon starting a new Cozy or Survival world. Brite Bomber will walk the player through the beginning stage of the game, teaching them how to build and upgrade the Brite Bomber Village, which will offer players the much-needed skills that can be carried over to their other Villages later down the line.

On top of simply showing players the ropes by upgrading their base, players can also turn to Brite Bomber for some general tips and tricks by exhausting her dialogue, should they happen to come across her in their other Villages. Brite Bomber also has a knack for gathering resources if she is recruited to a player-built Village, which can come in handy early game if they want access to resources over time. However, resource gathering is not necessarily the biggest standout job, as it only really offers players basic resources.

9 Hayseed

A Friendly NPC With An Undying Love for Farming

• Best Jobs: Collecting Seeds, Growing Food

When it comes to the best job roles in LEGO Fortnite, food-related jobs seem to take the cake. While most players will opt for getting their Villagers to work on a Grill and Oven to cook, alternative food-related jobs can also be quite useful. This is where Hayseed comes in, a standout Villager when it comes to farming. When assigned to collect seeds, Hayseed will get to work at the Grain Mill, a profession at which he is mighty good.

Hayseed is the epitome of a true farmer, capable of giving the player seeds when instructed to do so. This provides players with ample opportunity to get their hands on seeds for crops like Wheat, which will come in handy for crafting those Spicy Burgers later down the line. Of course, players can also get Hayseed to grow food too, another job which he will work pretty hard at. However, players must be sure to have some Garden Plots planted and place some seeds inside, as Hayseed can then work on growing them, along with harvesting those precious crops once they are done.

8 Tabby

A Tabby-Cat Themed NPC With An Eye For Gems

• Best Jobs: Collecting Gems

Tabby is quite the wacky character, which seems to be the staple when it comes to LEGO Fortnite. Tabby tends to show up at all Villages regardless of the biome they are built in, making her a fairly common encounter. Though she tends to talk about random topics whenever players interact with her, which can make it hard to pinpoint what exactly it is that she is good at, she does reveal that she’s a skilled treasure hunter.

Tabby’s main specialty is collecting gems, which provides players access to resources such as Rough Amber and Cut Amber through the Gem Cutter. Cut Amber in particular is a component for getting access to stat-boosting Charms, including the Hearty Totem and the Totem of the Immortal. Cut Amber will also prove useful for enchanting weapons, as it grants players access to the Essence Table. This is the only job that Tabby seems to excel at, however, which does limit her potential quite a bit when paired against some other Villagers in the game.

7 Meowscles

A Mysterious Cat Person With A Love For Combat

• Best Jobs: Combat Companion, Gem Cutting

Meowscles is definitely one of the more common Villagers in LEGO Fortnite, and although Meowscles seems to enjoy gem cutting, it is far from his best job. Instead of assigning Meowscles to a Gem Cutter, players should opt to take him along with them on their adventures. He is the perfect partner to bring along during travel, especially when players are in need of some extra protection out in the wild, or while exploring Caves.

Meowscles is a spirited fighter, capable of taking down many of the more problematic foes in the Grasslands biome, such as Wolves. Though he is not necessarily the best option for taking on Artic Wolves and other enemies in the Frostland biome, he can certainly come in handy when given a super strong weapon like an Epic Longsword. Getting Meowscles is also relatively easy, as he will show up at the player’s Village no matter what biome they are in.

6 Slush

A Costumed Character Who’s Talented At Crafting Textiles

• Best Jobs: Creating Textiles, Gathering Resources

Next up is Slush, a nifty Villager who specializes in creating textiles via a Loom. Though many players may be quick to dismiss Slush based on the fact that creating textiles is not the most practical of jobs, it does allow players to get their hands on resources like Silk Fabric and Wool Fabric. Both resources provide players with the nice benefit of building decorations like rugs, flags, banners, and more. This provides players with the means to spice up the look of their Village, along with improving its Comfort Level.

Decorations aside, Slush also provides players with the means to get the resources required for balloons and Gliders much faster than most other Villagers, a plus for players looking to traverse the skies. While Flint is also on par with Slush in the fact that he excels at creating textiles, Slush is also pretty quick at gathering resources. This makes him slightly more versatile than the likes of Flint, but overall gathering is not the greatest job available. Slush will often show up at a Frostland Village, and while he is a rare Villager, he is relatively more common than some of the latter Villagers on this list.

5 Mazy

A Music Lover With A Knack For Metal Smelting & Collecting Gems

• Best Jobs: Smelting Metal, Gem Cutting

Heading into the more top-tier Villagers now, there is Mazy, a relatively rare Villager in LEGO Fortnite. Mazy has two professions she excels at, with the best being smelting metal. Of course, players will need access to a Metal Smelter to use Mazy’s metal smelting skills. However, investing in a Metal Smelter is absolutely worth it, as it will allow players to get regular access to resources like Copper Bars and Glass. Copper Bars, in particular, are a great resource for players to get their hands on, as they will grant them access to some useful Charms, such as the Charm of Resilience and the Regeneration Charm.

The other job Mazy performs pretty well at is collecting gems, which allows players to get a steady supply of Rough Amber and Cut Amber, just like Tabby. The fact that Mazy is excellent at both jobs makes her better equipped for players looking to stock up on some of the best Charms in the game a lot faster, allowing them to take on tougher enemies like the Brutes.

4 Yeti

A Wacky Character That Can Hold His Own Against Enemies

• Best Jobs: Combat Companion & Gathering Resources

Yeti, like Meowscles, is a fairly proficient fighter and can be acquired at a Frostland Village. Though not as rare as Polar Peely and Frozen Fishsticks, Yeti is a great combat companion because he is more accustomed to taking on enemies within the Frostland biome, which hits much harder than the enemies in both the Grassland and Dry Valley biomes. Yeti also fits perfectly with the aesthetic of a Frostland Village, enhancing the overall look of the player’s base.

Outside of serving as a great combat companion, Yeti excels in another profession: gathering resources. Though not the best profession available, it provides players with a steady stream of basic resources during times when they aren’t off adventuring in caves and other treacherous locations. When players do invite Yeti during their explorations on the other hand, they should be sure to give him a Sword so he can fend off some of the tougher enemies with ease.

3 Tomatohead

A Colourful Character That Loves To Cook

• Best Jobs: Cooking & Gem Cutting

Cooking is undoubtedly the highest-ranking job available in LEGO Fortnite, as gathering a steady food supply can save players from early elimination. Acquiring a really good cook is imperative for players looking to be better equipped for their adventure, and Tomatohead fits this criterion perfectly. Tomatohead is the highest rarity cook players can get their hands on and specializes in creating tasty treats for players to take on their adventures.

Tomatohead is an absolute must for players looking to secure a large supply of food, especially if he is assigned to an Oven. Having Tomatohead work on an Oven allows players to quickly obtain some of the best foods in the game, such as Meat Pies, Fruit Pies, Pumpkin Pies, and Pizza. Tomatohead is also quite effective when assigned to a Juicer, as he will produce Slap Juice and Slurp Juice with ease. However, it’s better to let him bake pies and other delicacies using the Oven, as they do give players a large chunk of their health back after taking damage.

2 Frozen Fishstick

A Rare Frozen Character That Likes To Cook & Collect Gems

• Best Jobs: Cooking & Gem Cutting

Following the trend of excellent cooks, we have Frozen Fishstick, a great Villager for players looking for a respectable chef. Much like Tomatohead, Frozen Fishstick can be a trusty source of Meat Pies and other treats, each allowing players to heal all their lost hearts in no time and granting them some temporary hearts as well. Putting Frozen Fishstick to work on another Oven alongside a Villager like Tomatohead can even double the player’s yield of particular food items, which is handy if players are gearing up for a dangerous adventure.

Though Frozen Fishstick is a great cook, he is also effective in his second profession, collecting gems. While Mazy and Tabby perform this role nicely, the fact that Frozen Fishstick can cover both jobs makes him versatile. For some time, Frozen Fishstick was also a great Villager to take on an adventure, as all Frostland Villagers boast increased health. Although this attribute has been nerfed slightly in past updates, Frozen Fishstick is still tough and can hold his own pretty well in Caves. Unfortunately, however, Frozen Fishstick is tough to get into a player’s Village, as he needs to be found out in the wild.

1 Polar Peely

A Frozen Banana Who Knows His Way Around A Grill

• Best Jobs: Cooking & Gem Cutting

Last but not least is Polar Peely, one of the most sought-after Villagers in all of LEGO Fortnite. Polar Peely is essentially a carbon copy of Frozen Fishstick, excelling in both cooking and collecting gems. As expected, this frozen Villager is an excellent choice for working on an Oven and can cook various pies just like Frozen Fishstick and Tomatohead at record-breaking speeds. This makes him a great addition to the player’s roster of Villagers, especially if they are building a Village that focuses purely on farming the best foods available.

Of course, just like Frozen Fishstick, Polar Peely is also proficient at collecting gems. Though not exactly the better of the two professions he excels in, it does make Polar Peely slightly more versatile than the likes of Tomatohead, providing players with the means to farm Rough Amber and Cut Amber quickly. Unfortunately, Polar Peely is quite rare and can only be found by exploring campsites in the Frostland biome, calling upon players to search far and wide whilst also resisting the cold.
