10Brite Bomber
A Starter Villager That Offers Some Useful Tips & Tricks
Brite Bomber, one of the most well-known characters inFortnitein general, is one of the first Villagers that players will come across. AsLEGO Fortnite’sstarter Villager, Brite Bomber serves as agreat guide for playerswho are jumping into their first world, as sheprovides players with her very ownBrite Bomber Villageupon starting a new Cozy or Survival world. Brite Bomber will walk the player through the beginning stage of the game, teaching them how to build and upgrade the Brite Bomber Village, which will offer players the much-needed skills that can be carried over to their other Villages later down the line.
On top of simply showing players the ropes by upgrading their base,players can also turn to Brite Bomber for some general tips and tricksby exhausting her dialogue, should they happen to come across her in their other Villages. Brite Bomber also has a knack forgathering resourcesif she is recruited to a player-built Village, which can come in handy early game if they want access to resources over time. However, resource gathering is not necessarily the biggest standout job, as it only really offers players basic resources.
9Hayseed
A Friendly NPC With An Undying Love for Farming
When it comes to the best job roles inLEGO Fortnite, food-related jobs seem to take the cake. While most players will opt for getting their Villagers to work on a Grill and Oven to cook, alternative food-related jobs can also be quite useful. This is whereHayseedcomes in, a standout Villager when it comes to farming. When assigned tocollect seeds, Hayseed will get to work at the Grain Mill, a profession at which he is mighty good.
Hayseed is the epitome of a true farmer, capable ofgiving the player seedswhen instructed to do so. This provides players with ample opportunity to get their hands on seeds forcrops like Wheat, which will come in handy for crafting those Spicy Burgers later down the line. Of course, players can alsoget Hayseed to grow food too, another job which he will work pretty hard at. However, players must be sure to have some Garden Plots planted and place some seeds inside, as Hayseed can then work on growing them, along with harvesting those precious crops once they are done.
8Monks
A Colorful Costume Character Who Loves To Refine Wood
Monksis a colorful-costumed character, exclusive to the Lost Isles. Players exploring the Lost Isles may encounter Monks visiting their Village from time to time, as she happens to be a fairly common visitor for anyone who has set up a base there. In addition to being part of the large roster of costumed characters inLEGO Fortnite, Monks is a valuable Villager to have around.
Monks appears to be a jack of all trades, performing efficiently no matter the task assigned. However, she seems particularly eager to refine wood,quickly providing a steady supply of Planks and Wooden Rodswhen working at the Lumber Mill. Monks also qualifies as a costumed character, making her essential for players looking to complete the “Recruit or Talk to Costumed Characters” quest inthe Brick or Treat pass. This makes her a valuable addition for those aiming to earn rewards.
7Unpeely
A Groovy, Beach-Ready Character With a Knack For Cooking
Fortnitehas a variety of Peely variants, all of which are great additions to a player’s Village. On the Lost Isles, however, players may only encounter a few, with Island Adventure Peely andUnpeelybeing the most common. Unpeely is one of the easier Villagers to come across on the Lost Isles, often visiting the player’s built Village. He’s a groovy character who fits the Lost Isles' aesthetic perfectly.
While Unpeely can tackle any profession players assign him, he seems particularly interested in food-related jobs. Assign Unpeely to work at a Grill or Oven, and players can expect him tocook delicious meals like Grilled Meatand various pies. If placed at a Juicer, he can alsoprovide treats like Slap Juice and Slurp Juice.
6Slush
A Costumed Character Who’s Talented At Crafting Textiles
Next up isSlush, a nifty Villager whospecializes in creating textiles via a Loom. Though many players may be quick to dismiss Slush based on the fact that creating textiles is not the most practical of jobs, it does allow players to get their hands onresources like Silk Fabric and Wool Fabric. Both resources provide players with the nice benefit of building decorations like rugs, flags, banners, and more. This provides players with the means tospice up the look of their Village, along with improving its Comfort Level.
Decorations aside, Slush also provides players with the means toget the resources required for balloons and Glidersmuch faster than most other Villagers, a plus for players looking totraverse the skies. While Flint is also on par with Slush in the fact that he excels at creating textiles, Slush is also prettyquick at gathering resources. This makes him slightly more versatile than the likes of Flint, but overall gathering is not the greatest job available. Slush will often show up at a Frostland Village, and while he is a rare Villager, he is relatively more common than some of the latter Villagers on this list.
5Mazy
A Music Lover With A Knack For Metal Smelting & Collecting Gems
Heading into the more top-tier Villagers now, there isMazy, a relatively rare Villager inLEGO Fortnite. Mazy has two professions she excels at, with the best beingsmelting metal. Of course, players will need access toa Metal Smelterto use Mazy’s metal smelting skills. However, investing in a Metal Smelter is absolutely worth it, as it will allow players to getregular access to resources like Copper Bars and Glass. Copper Bars, in particular, are a great resource for players to get their hands on, as they willgrant them access to some useful Charms, such as the Charm of Resilience and the Regeneration Charm.
The other job Mazy performs pretty well at iscollecting gems, which allows players to get asteady supply of Rough Amber and Cut Amber,just like Tabby. The fact that Mazy is excellent at both jobs makes her better equipped for players looking to stock up on some of the best Charms in the game a lot faster, allowing them to take on tougher enemies like the Brutes.
4Yeti
A Wacky Character That Can Hold His Own Against Enemies
Yeti, like Meowscles, is a fairly proficient fighter and can beacquired at a Frostland Village. Though not as rare as Polar Peely and Frozen Fishsticks,Yeti is a great combat companionbecause he is more accustomed to taking on enemies within the Frostland biome, which hits much harder than the enemies in both the Grassland and Dry Valley biomes. Yeti also fits perfectly with the aesthetic of a Frostland Village, enhancing the overall look of the player’s base.
Outside of serving as a great combat companion, Yeti excels in another profession:gathering resources. Though not the best profession available, it provides players with a steady stream of basic resources during times when they aren’t off adventuring in caves and other treacherous locations. When players do invite Yeti during their explorations on the other hand, they should be sure to give hima Swordso he can fend off some of the tougher enemies with ease.
3Tomatohead
A Colourful Character That Loves To Cook
Cooking is undoubtedly the highest-ranking job available inLEGO Fortnite, as gathering a steady food supply can save players from early elimination. Acquiring a really good cook is imperative for players looking to be better equipped for their adventure, andTomatoheadfits this criterion perfectly. Tomatohead is thehighest rarity cookplayers can get their hands on and specializes in creating tasty treats for players to take on their adventures.
Tomatohead is an absolute must for players looking tosecure a large supply of food, especially if he is assigned to an Oven. Having Tomatohead work on an Oven allows players to quickly obtain some ofthe best foods in the game, such asMeat Pies, Fruit Pies, Pumpkin Pies, and Pizza. Tomatohead is also quite effective when assigned to a Juicer, as he willproduce Slap Juice and Slurp Juicewith ease. However, it’s better to let him bake pies and other delicacies using the Oven, as they do give players a large chunk of their health back after taking damage.
2Frozen Fishstick
A Rare Frozen Character That Likes To Cook & Collect Gems
Following the trend of excellent cooks, we haveFrozen Fishstick, a great Villager for players looking for a respectable chef. Much like Tomatohead, Frozen Fishstick can bea trusty source of Meat Pies and other treats, each allowing players to heal all their lost hearts in no time andgranting them some temporary heartsas well. Putting Frozen Fishstick to work on another Oven alongside a Villager like Tomatohead can even double the player’s yield of particular food items, which is handy if players are gearing up for a dangerous adventure.
Though Frozen Fishstick is a great cook, he is also effective in his second profession,collecting gems. While Mazy and Tabby perform this role nicely, the fact that Frozen Fishstick can cover both jobs makes him versatile. For some time, Frozen Fishstick was also a great Villager to take on an adventure, as all Frostland Villagers boast increased health. Although this attribute has been nerfed slightly in past updates, Frozen Fishstick is still tough and can hold his own pretty well in Caves. Unfortunately, however, Frozen Fishstick is tough to get into a player’s Village, ashe needs to be found out in the wild.
1Polar Peely
A Frozen Banana Who Knows His Way Around A Grill
Last but not least isPolar Peely, one of the most sought-after Villagers in all ofLEGO Fortnite. Polar Peely is essentially a carbon copy of Frozen Fishstick,excelling in both cooking and collecting gems. As expected, this frozen Villager is an excellent choice forworking on an Ovenand can cook various pies just like Frozen Fishstick and Tomatohead at record-breaking speeds. This makes him a great addition to the player’s roster of Villagers, especially if they are building a Village that focuses purely on farming the best foods available.
Of course, just like Frozen Fishstick, Polar Peely is also proficient at collecting gems. Though not exactly the better of the two professions he excels in, it does make Polar Peelyslightly more versatile than the likes of Tomatohead, providing players with the means to farm Rough Amber and Cut Amber quickly. Unfortunately, Polar Peely is quite rare and can only befound by exploring campsites in the Frostland biome, calling upon players to search far and wide whilst alsoresisting the cold.
