Route 06 Roblox Kimberly — Support
Flashbang crowd control, coin economy, and the fastest duo with Shiryo in alpha.
Kimberly is a Support survivor centered on Flashbang—a coin-funded ability that disrupts zombies and buys seconds during Plague nights, puzzle holds, and revives. She ranks S-tier on our Tier List for alpha co-op and forms the fastest movement duo in the game when paired with Shiryo, though her 80 HP demands careful positioning.
Role and kit overview
Supports stabilize chaos. Kimberly’s Flashbang is instant utility: blinding or staggering threats so teammates reposition, grab loot, or finish traffic-stop objectives while Plague roams.
Kimberly is William’s sister. Charge-into-flash combos appear throughout Best Teams because William knocks enemies into Kimberly’s safe flash range.
Flashbang coin economy
Flashbang costs 10 coins to activate. Each additional Kimberly in the lobby adds +5 coins to that activation cost. Coins come from:
- 0.5 coins per kill (fractional gains add up slowly)
- Selling loot at checkpoints—25% shared with teammates, rounded down
- Vending purchases that sometimes drop cola or brew for sustain instead of coins
Budget Flashbang for high-impact moments:
- Plague approaching at low stamina
- Reviving a downed ally in charger territory
- Traffic-stop puzzle windows when night overlaps
- Outpost last stand when sprinters leak toward generators
Do not flash trash packs during day segments unless farming coins is already covered.
Shiryo synergy — fastest alpha duo
Shiryo is the fastest survivor with lowest HP and high stamina. Kimberly Flashbang covers Shiryo’s fragility when sprint paths fail.
Speed comps on Best Teams run Shiryo + Kimberly + Stella + Clayton + William. Without Stella, Shiryo dies to one grab mistake; without Clayton, Plague stun gaps appear when flash is on cooldown.
Community opinions call this duo glass cannon speed—high reward, high coordination cost.
80 HP risk profile
Kimberly shares the 80 HP problem with Marcus’s stamina issue: low buffer for mistakes. Sprinters and Boomer bursts delete her if she frontlines.
Stay behind Clayton or William during pit stops. Use Flashbang from range; let Frontliners reclaim space afterward.
Plague nights
Plague cannot be killed—only stunned, escaped, or passed. Kimberly flash complements Clayton and William stuns; it does not replace them.
Rotation example:
- Clayton primary stun
- Kimberly flash during cooldown
- William charge peel
- Stella heal sprint tax afterward
In five-stacks, passing Plague between players still works; Kimberly flash covers transition gaps.
Tier list and unlock order
Kimberly sits in S-tier debate with Stella and Clayton. Pick Kimberly early if:
- Your squad has healing but lacks crowd control
- You plan to unlock Shiryo for speed comps
- William is already in the lobby for sibling combos
Pick Stella first if players die to sustain issues, not control issues.
Typical token path: Clayton or Stella → Kimberly → William → Shiryo (1250 tokens) → Marcus last.
Multiple Kimberlys in one lobby
Stacking Kimberlys raises Flashbang cost (+5 per extra Kimberly). Communicate before double-picking in matchmaking:
- Two Kimberlys = 15 coins per flash
- Three Kimberlys = 20 coins per flash
Coin farming assignments matter. Kill quotas alone are slow at 0.5 coins per kill—checkpoint sells are essential.
Common mistakes
- Flash spam on day zombies, then broke at night
- Frontline positioning with 80 HP
- Skipping William when sibling charge setups are available
- Running Shiryo without Kimberly—speed without flash escape fails
