The five competitive tiers and verified player counts
Roblox badges track every player who unlocks a competitive division. The figures below come directly from the official Roblox badges API for universe ID 10768037294, recorded on 2 November 2026.
| Tier | Official Badge Description | Badge Recipients | Share of Ranked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rookie | Dog days. Welcome to Ranked. | 31,004 | 98.45% |
| Prospect | Promoted to PROSPECT in Ranked mode. | 476 | 1.51% |
| Contender | Promoted to CONTENDER in Ranked mode. | 12 | 0.04% |
| Elite | Promoted to ELITE in Ranked mode. | 0 | 0.00% |
| Undisputed | Best of the best..? UNDISPUTED in Ranked mode. | 0 | 0.00% |
The share of ranked column divides each tier total by the 31,004 fighters who hold the Rookie badge. High divisions remain virtually empty: Contender holds only 12 fighters, while Elite and Undisputed had zero recipients on 2 November 2026.
The dropoff between the tutorial and Ranked mode
Before entering Ranked bouts, players complete an introductory tutorial that grants the official Welcome Badge. On 2 November 2026, the Welcome Badge counted 642,927 recipients.
Comparing tutorial completions to the competitive ladder reveals a massive dropoff:
- Welcome Badge recipients: 642,927 players
- Rookie badge recipients: 31,004 players
- Conversion rate calculation: 31,004 divided by 642,927 equals 4.82%
Over 95% of players who finish the initial tutorial never participate in Ranked mode or receive a ranking badge. For fighters preparing to step into the competitive queue, our beginner guide explains how to prepare your build and allocate starter funds before taking losses on your record.
Why Rookie to Prospect is the true competitive cliff
The jump from Rookie to Prospect is the steepest divider on the active ladder. Out of 31,004 fighters who unlocked Rookie, only 476 successfully advanced to Prospect. That means only about 1 out of every 65 ranked players makes the climb, leaving 98.45% of the ranked community in Rookie.
Because the upper ranks hold so few competitors, reaching Prospect places your character in the top two percent of all recorded ranked players. Surviving competitive bouts requires disciplined defense and stamina management rather than reckless swinging. Spending time practicing controls and combos helps you block incoming hooks and punish exhausted opponents.
Promotion rules remain unpublished
Studio Wire has not disclosed the point system, win quotas, or hidden matchmaking ratings required for rank promotion. The official game page and developer descriptions do not explain how many round victories trigger a badge grant. Third-party guides claiming exact point targets are guessing. What is verified through official APIs is that promotions occur exclusively during Ranked mode matches when you satisfy internal progression thresholds.
