There are over 30 units in Universal Tower Defense, but only around 20 of them that are the evolved versions can be used in a highly competitive meta of UTD. This guide will provide you with a tier list of the best units in this Roblox game, including their top priority positions, abilities, and synergies with other stands.
Top Units Tier List for Universal Tower Defense (UTD)
Top ground DPS unit with full AoE that deals respectable and steady damage, which is excellent for wave clearing and mid-game stabilization.
Jinoo (Monarch)
Excellent hybrid DPS unit with serious damage scaling and utility that can be well used and placed across all types of maps, effectively handling both ground and air.
Scarlet Maid (World)
Top support unit that delivers consistently high DPS, fast SPA, reliable circle AoE for wave clears, and requires practically no setup whatsoever.
Dragon Guy (Trance)
Use this unit for strong control, utilizing circle AoEs, freezing, slowing, and stun debuffs, as well as massive damage in trance state when dealing with bosses.
Lulu
This unit deals an exceptional burst damage, quickly dealing with priority targets, such as bosses, with an ability to stall enemies when needed the most.
A-Tier Units
Characters
Features
Sasku (Chakra)
Solid ground DPS with decent AoE clears and frequent stuns when in Sasuke form, but it lacks the necessary damage output to be positioned any higher in the tiers.
Berserker (Enraged)
Another great DPS unit with full AoE coverage, high damage per hit, excellent wave clearing skills, and placement flexibility, that’s limited to the ground level.
Admiral (Magma)
Strong supporter with magma pools for DoT burns and line AoEs that are ideal for lanes and narrow maps, but not as useful on curvy paths.
Rule
This ground DPS unit can be used specifically against the strongest bosses due to its single-target focus, but it has no AoE capabilities whatsoever.
B-Tier Units
Characters
Features
Spade (Donut)
Good air DPS unit with full AoE capabilities from hill placement for multi-lane coverage and grouped wave clears that requires specific hill positioning to be effective.
Mob (100%)
If you’re looking for the ground AoE unit that specializes in removing mobs on the curved paths, then this is a great choice, but only in the early-to-mid game content.
Cyborg (Fearless)
Use Cyborg in synergy with Mob (100%) to gain control over curvy paths for easier clears, just don’t expect the Fearless passive to perform too well against groups of enemies.
Shakumira Evo
Solid supporter and utility unit that’s viable only in mid-tier lineups for early-to-mid game progression, but needs to be replaced in the late game for Scarlet Maid evolution.
Note that most unevolved units are much weaker versions of the units listed above and can be used only in the very early stages of the game, such as Isagi, Shanks, Shikamaru, Kakashi, Neji, Zoro, Sanji, Gaara, Greybeard, Nami, Goku, Naruto, and Luffy.
