Want the clearest, most dramatic first video
Start with a full-scale explosion or a kaiju attack — both read instantly and don't require any setup context to land.
Want something a little different from the obvious picks
Try a giant robot rampage or an aircraft chase — still big, but less commonly seen than the classic explosion.
Want a slower, more atmospheric first video
A blizzard or a firestorm builds more gradually — a good choice if you want the crew and set details to carry more of the shot.
Not sure at all
Full-scale explosion is the safest first pick — it's the single most reliably readable disaster type in the catalog.
Then Build From There
Once your first video lands well, the disaster tier list is a good next stop for picking your second and third modules.
