Tsum Tsum tier list 2026: coins

If you only want one answer: on the International app, the best coin Tsum you can still pull right now is Gaston, and the best ones overall are limited event Tsums you can only get when they come back in a Select or Pickup box: Namine, Captain Lightyear, Jamil Viper and Perfume Alice. Everything else on this page is about where the other names land and which ones you should skip.

This list is for the International (English) app as of late October 2026. Tsums that only exist on the Japanese app are left out, and we call out a few that other lists wrongly include.

How to read this list

Tiers are about coins at max skill (SL6). Most of these Tsums are weak at SL1–3. A Tsum you can max is worth more than a stronger one stuck at SL2
Limited vs permanent matters more than the tier. A permanent Tsum is in the Premium Box every day, so every pull can level it. A limited Tsum only comes back in Select or Pickup boxes
Where the information comes from. For each placement we checked at least two International sources (the English wiki's skill notes and coin categories, an English ranking site's 2026 list, and English gameplay videos). When only one source backs a placement, it says (unconfirmed) next to it. When sources disagree, we show both views instead of picking one
Coin numbers are single runs. Any figure here is one player's result in one video, not what you should expect

Tier list: limited Tsums (event-only)

These are not in the Premium Box outside their events. Watch for them in Select boxes and Pickup Capsules.

Tier	Tsum	Why it's here	Weak point
S	Namine	Chain her to Sora from any distance and the area around them clears. In the wiki's coin category and #2 on the 2026 ranking	Needs bubble cancels to play well; Intl release was March 2023, so she's rarely available
S	Captain Lightyear	Tap-to-clear skill. The wiki calls him "a very strong coin earner"; the 2026 ranking puts him in its top tier	Rhythm takes practice; the taps only get good at SL5–6
S	Jamil Viper	Skill has a positive coin adjustment that grows with skill level, so he earns more than the clear count suggests. Top tier on the 2026 ranking	Needs 36 copies to max; you must start chains from a non-Jamil Tsum during the skill
S	Perfume Alice (Charm)	Also a positive coin adjustment that grows with level. The 2026 ranking lists her as the only Tsum with a 30,000-coin claim	25 Tsums to fire at SL1; Alices can't be chained during the skill
S (unconfirmed)	Coronation Day Elsa	#1 on the 2026 ranking with "each play is very short". The wiki confirms she reached Intl in July 2026 but describes her as a chain Tsum, not a coin one	Her coin strength rests on one source so far. Needs 36 copies
A	Disney Villains (Set)	October 2026's new Tsum. One SL6 video shows about 8,800 base coins; the ranking site puts it in its second tier and says it depends on luck	45 Tsums to fire at SL1 (30 at SL6), 36 copies to max. See the skill guide
A	Jedi Luke	The wiki lists him as an Advanced coin farmer and in its coin category	The 2026 ranking drops him to its fourth tier. Older Tsum (Intl April 2017), outclassed by the S row above
A	Queen Elsa	In the wiki's coin category; the ranking says she works from SL1	Third tier on the ranking, so a good first coin Tsum rather than a final one
A	Formal Suit Beast	In the wiki's coin category; the ranking notes long chains make Time Bubbles	Third tier on the ranking
A	Star Wars Light Side (Set)	In the wiki's coin category; the ranking calls the skill very simple and item-free	Third tier on the ranking
A	Jack & Sally	The ranking likes the stacked-skill clears and says usable from SL1	Not in the wiki's coin category, so coin strength is from one source (unconfirmed). The wiki confirms the International release (Build Snow Domes!, Dec 2024, limited-time event Tsum)
B (unconfirmed)	Roxas	Second tier on the ranking, which says he "doesn't earn well until Skill Level 5"	The wiki describes the skill but says nothing about coins
B (unconfirmed)	Wayfinder Moana	Second tier on the ranking, usable from SL4	The wiki lists her under bubbles, not coins
B (unconfirmed)	Night Chernabog	Second tier on the ranking, works without items	The wiki notes MyTsums cleared during the skill recharge it less

One where the sources disagree

Final Battle Captain Hook is in the ranking site's second tier ("usable from Skill Level 3"). The wiki says his skill has a negative coin adjustment, so he earns a little less than his clears would suggest. We can't settle this from the outside; if you already have him at SL3+, test a few runs before spending tickets.

Tier list: permanent Tsums (always in the Premium Box)

"Permanent" here means the wiki lists the Tsum as a Resident Tsum. Check the in-game box before you spend, because that list is one source.

Tier	Tsum	Why it's here
S	Gaston	The only permanent Tsum in the 2026 ranking's top tier, and the wiki's "Advanced" coin farmer. SL6 makes 100% of the falling Tsums Gastons; one SL6 video shows 8,343 base coins. Needs 36 copies, and the ranking site says he's only worth it at SL6
B	Genie	In the wiki's coin and Resident categories. Random skill, cheap to fire (14)
B	Ursula	Coin and Resident categories. Plain circle clear, 15 to fire
B	Beast	Coin and Resident categories. Diagonal clear
B	Hamm	Coin and Resident categories; the wiki's Strategy page lists him as a Beginner coin farmer
C	Lady	Resident, and her skill makes coins worth more. Not in the wiki's coin category, and not on the 2026 ranking at all, so she's a starter pick only

For skill costs, max scores and what we couldn't confirm about these six, see the permanent coin Tsums guide. For Gaston's 3-chain loop, see how to use Gaston.

Not worth Skill Tickets for coins

Go Go Tomago: the wiki says her skill has a negative coin adjustment (unconfirmed). She's a score and mission Tsum. Details in her skill guide
Final Battle Captain Hook: see the disagreement above
The October 2026 Premium Box trio other than the Villains Set: Scheming Gaston, Epel Felmier and Ortho Shroud all get the lowest coin rating in the one 2026 review that scores them (unconfirmed). See October new Tsums compared

Tsums you'll see on other lists that aren't on Intl

Some rankings mix in Japan-only Tsums. As of this writing both the wiki and the 2026 ranking site mark these as Japanese app only:

Hero Style Stitch (Shift) (Japan, June 2026)
Judy & Nick
Nightmare Before Christmas (Set), Star Wars Dark Side (Set)
Lilia Vanrouge, KH2 Cloud, Princess Vanellope, Guardian Luke, Marie +

The Japanese app usually gets Tsums 6–12 months before Intl (Namine: September 2022 vs March 2023; Villains Set: October 2025 vs October 2026), so these may arrive later. Don't plan Skill Tickets around them yet.

Where to spend Skill Tickets

Our suggestion, based on the two tier tables:

If you have none of the S-tier limited Tsums, put tickets into Gaston until SL6. He's the only top-tier Tsum you can also level by pulling the box
If you have Captain Lightyear, he's the easiest S-tier to use and already works from about SL4–5
Namine, Jamil Viper and Perfume Alice are worth tickets if you own them, but all three take practice; try a few runs at your current level first
Skip tickets on anything in B or lower unless you need it for missions
