What it does

Passive and ability

Ability

Dishwasher, Peeler and Runner list no ability in any guide. That is 'none listed', which is not the same as confirmed absent.

How to roll

How to get Runner

1Open the Classes station. A paid roll costs 25 gems.
2The result is random across all seven classes — you cannot buy or pick a named class.
3Take the free spin or the ad spin when the station offers one; it costs no gems.
4Escape runs to earn gems, then roll again. Runner is one of the 7 outcomes.

You cannot pick or discount a class: every paid roll is 25 gems for a random result.

Odds maths

What chasing this class costs

Expected rolls and gems for Runner
Average rolls to land it	6
Average gems at 25 per roll	156
Chance of at least one in 100 rolls	100.0%

Average rolls = 1 ÷ odds; the 100-roll figure is 1 − (1 − odds)¹⁰⁰. Rolls are independent, so a long dry streak is normal rather than a bug.

Verdict

Is Runner worth keeping?

The survival pick: the speed and the slow on chasers are the closest thing to a Hard Mode class outside the S tier.

Night survival
Outrunning monsters
Speed routing

Monsters target you more often, so the 3 extra speed is for escaping rather than standing and fighting.

Ranked on three weighted axes: money per shift (50%), night survival value (30%) and how likely you are to roll it at all (20%). Odds and bonuses are publisher-reported values that three independent sources agree on; the tier letter is our judgement, not a game statistic.
