VHOLUME Tier Lists
Rank techniques and routes by payoff—not hype.
Tier lists in a parkour game are not about characters with ultimate abilities. In VHOLUME they answer a simpler question: what should you practise next? This hub ranks movement techniques and route difficulty so your limited demo hours go toward skills that transfer to gold medals and to the full launch on 21 August 2026.
Why tiers help melancholic parkour
The Ministry city is large enough to waste evenings on stylish but low-percentage tricks. Tiers keep you honest. Combine them with Movement & Momentum, Shortcuts & Secrets, and Gold Medals.

How to use the lists
Read S-tier items first if you are stuck below silver. Visit A-tier when bronze is trivial. Treat experimental tiers as playground content after a PB session. Cross-check controls on the cheatsheet whenever a technique fails because of binds rather than geometry.

These lists will evolve after launch as new spaces appear. Until then they reflect demo-era priorities: momentum literacy over novelty.
Philosophy of ranking parkour
We rank inputs and routes because attention is finite. A melancholic game can hypnotise you into wandering forever—which is lovely—until you wanted a personal best and accidentally spent the evening sightseeing. Tiers separate sightseeing from training without insulting either. Revisit rankings whenever Steam drops a patch or when the full release expands the city after 21 August 2026.
Cross-links you should actually click
If S-tier tech fails, open Controls. If routes feel mis-tiered, compare notes with the Demo Walkthrough. If gold still breaks you, pair Gold Medals with the medal checklist. Tiers without links are posters; tiers with links are tools.
Closing note
Use tiers as a nightly menu: one S-tier drill, one route class, one optional secret walk. Then stop before tilt writes the schedule.
How the tier hubs connect
Open Movement Tech Tier when a single verb fails. Open Route Difficulty Tier when you are choosing tonight’s map. Neither list replaces guides; they prioritise attention. After Demo2, expect ranks to shift—date your opinions. Return to Guides for teaching and Tools for tracking. Tier lists stay honest when they admit subjectivity and refuse fake patch math.
Pre-launch use
Use tiers to build a curriculum toward 21 August 2026: literacy tech first, then harder routes, then speedrun categories. Invite friends using ranks as a shared syllabus instead of dumping them into your hardest PB hunt.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Are these official rankings?
No. They are fan guidance based on demo design and publicly described movement pillars.
Do tiers replace guides?
No. Use tiers to prioritise; use guides to learn execution.
Will tiers change at launch?
Likely. New maps can reshuffle difficulty even if core verbs stay the same.
