Nebulous Badge Guide
Eight live badges—from Guard 1 to Untouchable—mapped to the 31-fight solo rush.
Roblox Nebulous now ships a real badge set, not just a vague “prestige someday” promise. This Badge Guide names the eight live awards on universe 10417987249, shows mid-August 2026 award rates, and tells you how to hunt them without turning your shop into a trophy museum. Pair it with Leaderboards and Badges for mindset and the Campaign Map for route structure.
The experience by latent//state (permission from LostVolBytes) released 2026-06-29. It is still solo (maxPlayers = 1) with 25 levels, 5 Guardians, a five-drone finale, 90+ upgrades, and permadeath after the first clear. Badge names below come from the official Roblox badges API; exact hidden conditions can shift, so treat inferred goals as working hypotheses and confirm in-client.
Live roster (as of 2026-08-16)
Counts move daily. Use the win-rate column as a difficulty hint, not as a personal score.
| Badge | Created | Awarded (approx.) | Win rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guard 1 | 2026-07-19 | ~195k | ~55% |
| Guard 2 | 2026-07-19 | ~104k | ~31% |
| Guard 3 | 2026-07-19 | ~86k | ~26% |
| Guard 4 | 2026-07-19 | ~81k | ~25% |
| Guard 5 | 2026-07-19 | ~77k | ~24% |
| Nebulous Survived | 2026-07-28 | ~71k | ~22% |
| Nebulous Cleared | 2026-07-20 | ~9.9k | ~3.6% |
| Untouchable | 2026-07-20 | ~260 | ~0.1% |
The drop from Guard 1 to Guard 2 is the first real filter. The drop from Guard 5 to Cleared is the campaign wall. Untouchable is a prestige sliver—do not design your first save around it.
Guard 1–5 — checkpoint receipts
These five badges track the Guardian gauntlet. Names match the five bosses the rest of this wiki already treats as exams.
How to earn them without panic shopping
- Fund rockets and the damage spine before each attempt (Early Game Upgrades, Rockets and Items).
- Farm the prior level (How to Farm).
- Drill the matching bookmark on Level Spikes if you are dying to geometry, not HP.
- Execute with Beat Guardians and the Guardian Roster.
Guard 1’s ~55% win rate tells you the game expects most funded pilots to pass. Guard 2’s ~31% is where underfunded rockets and soft shops get exposed. Treat 3–5 as composure plus kill-time tests, not as reasons to max shields early (Drones and Shields).
Nebulous Survived — the mid-pack survival stamp
Survived arrived on 2026-07-28, after the Guard set and after Cleared. It is far more common than Cleared (~22% vs ~3.6%). That pattern usually means a survival or session milestone—not the full campaign receipt. Do not skip farm or invert upgrade order just to “force Survived.” Play a clean funded run; if the badge pops mid-campaign, bank it and keep going.
If you are hunting it on purpose, keep movement boring (Controls or Mobile Play) and stop vacuuming loot through bullet flowers.
Nebulous Cleared — the real campaign receipt
Cleared at ~3.6% is the badge that matches a first full finish: twenty-five levels, five Guardians, drone-led finale. Prep with Final Boss and a written rocket budget. After it unlocks, read Permadeath before you flip the one-life switch.
This is the prestige line most players should aim at. Leaderboards sit on top of it; they do not replace it.
Untouchable — optional razor
~0.1% win rate and a few hundred awards mean Untouchable is a restriction fantasy: no-hit, no-damage, or an equally unforgiving rule. Hunt it only after:
- Guard 1–5 are already routine
- Cleared is in the trophy case
- One late identity from Late Game Builds is proven
- You can hold L13 circles and the five-drone opener without panic rockets
Do not buy size or stacked health “for Untouchable.” Those nodes make you a bigger, slower target. If the badge wants cleanliness, offense that ends phases is the real armor.
Hunt order that respects the shop
- Group +15% resources
- Guard 1 with rockets online
- Guards 2–5 with farm gates
- Survived if it has not already dropped
- Cleared with a finale plan
- Untouchable as a dedicated later project
Use the Session Planner so badge nights stay one-target sessions. Use Patch Notes after the 2026-08-14 client window before a prestige push.
What not to invent
- Fake codes that “grant badges” (Codes stays honest)
- Scripts that auto-award (Scripts is account-risk talk, not a shortcut)
- Co-op badge strategies (still on the roadmap)

What is the difference between Survived and Cleared?
Cleared is rare (~3.6%) and matches a full campaign finish. Survived is more common (~22%) and behaves like a survival or session stamp—not a substitute for the finale.

Award counts move daily. Re-check Live Status and this table after client updates, then keep the same shop spine.
