Quick Summary

The UTDX unit tier list ranks units from S++ to C by DPS score, role value, rarity, obtain method, and investment priority. Use it before spending gems or evolution materials on a unit that looks strong on paper but does not fit your current story or Virtual Realm goal. DPS scores and role notes were reviewed against in-game damage testing and developer patch notes.

Quick Answer

The best UTDX units to prioritize are First Emperor (Greatest), Joyful Captain, King Sailor (Unrivaled), and Underworld God (Death). For most players, the best team is not six DPS units: run 1-2 carries, one Farm unit, one Support or Debuff unit, and flexible damage for the mode you are clearing.

Tier Meaning and Investment Priority

S++

Meta carries

Build around these units first. They justify premium traits, relics, and reroll currency.

S+

Best in slot

Excellent units that can carry difficult content when the rest of the team supports them.

S

Endgame ready

Reliable endgame units. They are strong investments if you do not own the very top picks.

A

Strong investment

Worth building for progression, especially when they fill a role your team lacks.

B

Good filler

Useful as bridge units, but avoid spending rare resources unless they solve a current bottleneck.

C

Starter or economy

Starter, farm, or temporary units. Some are low DPS but still important for economy.
