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.

How to use, formula & example

Practical steps for UTDX Unit Tier List — what to enter, how results are calculated, and what to do next

How to use this tool

  1. Filter by the role you need (DPS, Farm, Support) before reading raw DPS tiers.
  2. Invest in one carry first — spreading upgrades across many mid units stalls Legend/Infinite progress.
  3. Check obtain method: a slightly lower tier unit from codes can beat an unobtainable banner unit today.
  4. Pair the list with Trait Reroll and DPS Calculator before spending Trait Tickets.

How this tier list ranks units

Tier band ≈ DPS score + role value + obtain practicality + investment cost

VariableMeaning
DPS scoreRelative damage planning score used to place S++ → C bands
Role valueFarm/Support can rank above raw DPS because they fund or enable carries
Obtain practicalityCodes, story, and banners change what you can actually field this week
Investment costDuplicates, traits, and relics needed before the unit reaches listed strength

Example: beginner team priority

Setup: New account with one strong DPS drop and weak economy.

Result: A Farm unit plus one focused carry usually clears more content than three underleveled attackers.

Takeaway: Use the tier list to pick roles, then dump resources into the chosen carry.

Common mistakes

  • Building only the highest DPS names with no Farm/Support.
  • Rerolling traits on filler units you will replace after the next banner.
  • Ignoring mode fit — Story burst vs Infinite uptime needs differ.
  • Copying endgame S++ teams before you can afford their trait/relic requirements.
