Smash the City All Disasters Overview
Smash the City is a physics-based Roblox destruction simulator developed by Kabooom Crew, featuring more than 50 weapons across 11 maps. The disasters are the core of the experience: each one delivers a different destruction pattern, area coverage, and cooldown profile, and choosing the right disaster for the right target group is what separates fast clears from wasted runs.
Core Disaster Categories:
- Projectile: focused single-target damage
- Nuclear: massive burst explosions
- Weather: sweeping multi-target area damage
- Water: broad wave-based lane clearing
- Impact: heavy single-zone strikes
- Singularity: gravitational pull with huge area of effect
- Orbital: high-impact precision strikes from above
Match the disaster to the target layout. Wide disasters (Tsunami, Black Hole) excel in dense clusters, while focused tools (Missile, Orbital Laser) handle isolated or high-value structures more efficiently.
Disaster Tier List
Disasters are ranked by area coverage, clearing speed, progression cost, and best use case. A lower tier is not useless: it may still be the most efficient early farming option.
| Disaster | Tier | Coverage | Clearing Speed | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black Hole | S | Extremely large | ★★★★★ | Dense groups, late-game clears |
| Orbital Laser | S | Focused, high impact | ★★★★☆ | Major structures, priority targets |
| Nuke | A | Broad zone | ★★★★☆ | Burst farming, nearby clusters |
| Meteor | A | Good area | ★★★★☆ | Mid-to-late clustered targets |
| Tsunami | A | Wide sweeping | ★★★★☆ | Open areas, long building lines |
| Tornado | B | Multi-target | ★★★☆☆ | Repeated farming, crowded zones |
| Missile | B | Single target | ★★★☆☆ | Early progression, isolated targets |
S Tier: Black Hole
- Extremely large area of effect
- Pulls and destroys grouped targets
- Best late-game clearing tool
- Requires high-level weapon progression
S Tier: Orbital Laser
- High-impact targeted strikes
- Excellent against major structures
- Strong finishing weapon
- Unlocked late in progression
A Tier: Nuke
- Very high burst damage
- Broad destruction zone
- Clears several targets at once
- Ideal for dense urban areas
Late-game power and practical progression value are different things. Missile (B tier) is often the better choice for early farming because it is accessible and reliable, even though Black Hole outclasses it at endgame.
Disaster Effects and Best Map Use
Each disaster interacts differently with city layouts. Use this table to pair your disaster with the right map environment.
| Disaster | Primary Effect | Best Map Environment | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Missile | Focused explosive attack on one target | Compact areas with separated targets | Controlled, early destruction |
| Nuke | Powerful wide-area explosion | Dense urban clusters | Fast burst clearing |
| Tornado | Sweeps and damages multiple targets | Open spaces with grouped objects | Routine farming |
| Tsunami | Broad wave across a lane | Long lines of buildings | Map-wide clearing |
| Meteor | High-impact object drop | Dense target zones | Breaking durable structures |
| Black Hole | Pulls and destroys within a large area | Areas packed with objects | Large-scale late-game clears |
| Orbital Laser | Channeled laser strike on an area | Large structures, priority targets | Focused high damage |
Map pairing tips:
- Start runs in dense building sections where wide disasters hit the most targets per attack.
- Use streets and open areas as travel routes, not as destruction targets.
- Save large structures for high-damage tools like Orbital Laser or Meteor.
- Build dense destruction loops through adjacent buildings to minimize travel downtime.
Do not fire wide-area disasters like Tsunami or Black Hole at isolated single buildings. Their value comes from hitting multiple targets at once; use Missile for lone structures instead.
Step-by-Step: Full City Destruction Run
Follow this sequence to combine disasters efficiently and push toward the highest destruction milestones in a single run.
Scout the Densest Cluster
Identify the area with the most adjacent buildings. Your first attacks should hit grouped targets to jumpstart destruction progress.
Open with a Burst Disaster
Use Nuke or Meteor on the densest cluster to destroy several structures in one hit and trigger early coin income.
Sweep the Lanes
Switch to Tsunami or Tornado to clear long lines and open areas, keeping the destruction chain moving across the map.
Finish Large Structures
Deploy Orbital Laser or Meteor against remaining large, durable targets that resist area sweeps.
Close with Black Hole
Use Black Hole to vacuum up scattered leftover debris targets and push past the 95% milestone for the final reward.
Destruction milestones trigger at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 95%. Each one grants an additional progress reward, so plan your route to reach every milestone before ending the run.
| Milestone | Trigger | Planning Value |
|---|---|---|
| 25% | One quarter of city destroyed | Early target for short farming sessions |
| 50% | Half of city destroyed | Midpoint check on weapon and route efficiency |
| 75% | Three quarters destroyed | Requires a reliable route and strong weapons |
| 95% | Almost everything destroyed | Final major reward checkpoint |
Disaster Farming Checklist and Coins
Coins in Smash the City come primarily from destroying structures and hitting destruction milestones. Track these goals to keep your farming efficient.
Disaster Farming Goals:
- Clear the densest building cluster first
- Reach the 50% destruction milestone every run
- Use wide disasters only on grouped targets
- Save high-damage tools for large structures
- Repeat the fastest profitable cycle before upgrading
Coin efficiency by approach:
| Approach | Efficiency | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Nearby dense buildings with accessible weapons | Steady, beginner-friendly | New players |
| Highest-efficiency weapon on fixed loops | High, consistent | Progressing players |
| Full-run milestone pushing (75% to 95%) | Highest per-run payout | Complete runs |
| Random targeting across the map | Low, high downtime | Avoid this |
Claim milestone rewards before making major weapon purchases so you can plan upgrades with your full balance. Only upgrade when the faster clear speed justifies the cost.
