All Star Tower Defense Tier List

All Star Tower Defense Tier List (November 2026) Best Units Ranked

Table Of Contents

The right units decide whether you clear a stage or watch your base crumble. I cross-checked the community wiki ranking and the current meta for this tier list. My verdict: Hamerucifer is the best unit overall β€” the strongest AoE damage in the game at a low placement cost β€” with Omega Dragon close behind on range and DPS. Below is the full S to C ranking, my team setup, and how to summon new units.

TierUnits
SHamerucifer, The Overlord, Omega Dragon, Second Trumpet Salt King, Legendary Leader (Path), Kung Fu Galaxy, TBOI (Rebirth)
AJeff (CEO), Octo The Greedy, Speedaholic (Enchanted), Buddha Chairman (Serious), Mysterious X (Final), + 22 more
BIdol, The Almighty, Crimson Boar (True), Mr. Wax, + 8 more

How I Ranked Every Unit?

Top Down Games hasn’t released an official ranking, so I leaned on the community wiki list by the game’s Discord head moderator, cross-checked against the post-update meta. I judged each unit on damage, range, AoE, support value, cost, and performance across Story, Infinite, and raids.

S Tier Units – The 2026 Meta

All seven are damage dealers with one trade-off.

TBOI (Rebirth)Ranged AoE nukeModerateRange barely grows

Hamerucifer is the easiest carry β€” cheap to place, so it comes out early while your economy ramps up. Omega Dragon wins on raw numbers, but pulling it is the hard part. Second Trumpet Salt King is my value pick: cheap at every step, with an endgame-relevant passive. Kung Fu Galaxy’s poison tick makes it the pick for long Infinite runs. The Overlord and Legendary Leader (Path) shine late.

A, B, and C Tier Units

A tier is where the economy lives: Jeff (CEO) generates money every wave (one placement, can’t be sold), and Octo The Greedy stores cash for long runs. Speedaholic (Enchanted) is the best buffer: up to +300% allied damage and +20% range. Buddha Chairman (Serious) deals 25 billion map-wide damage once, then removes itself. Mysterious X (Final) stops enemies for eight seconds; its Final Domain Finisher freezes the whole map for 60.

B tier picks like Idol (+250% damage buff) fit the right setups but are rarely first choices. C tier is early-game filler β€” Ganyu (Koku), Zero, and Nightmare get outclassed by higher options.

My 6-Slot Team Setup

Six units fit per loadout. My setup: Jeff (CEO) for income, Hamerucifer as the carry, Kung Fu Galaxy for poison pressure, Speedaholic (Enchanted) to buff everyone, Mysterious X (Final) for crowd control, and a flex slot β€” Squad 7 Commander or Mochi (Awakening). Place your money unit first, carry second, and save the nuke for boss waves.

How to Summon New Units?

Summoning works like most Roblox gacha systems β€” the same banner loop I covered in my Anime Zero items list:

  1. Earn Gems from stages, events, and codes β€” recent drops hand out 4,000 Gems plus Stardust.
  2. Head to the Summoning station or hit the Summon button on your screen.
  3. Pick the banner you want.
  4. Press Summon or x10 Summon for ten pulls at once.

Banners cost Gems or Stardust depending on the unit β€” save Stardust for limited-time picks.
