Universal Tower Defense X: UTDX Unit Tier List
UTDX unit tier list with S++ to C rankings, DPS scores, roles, rarity, obtain methods, and investment notes.
Quick Summary
The UTDX unit tier list ranks units from S++ to C by DPS score, role value, rarity, obtain method, and investment priority.

DPS scores and role notes were reviewed against in-game damage testing and developer patch notes.
Verification Notes
Inputs, formulas, and recommendations should be rechecked when the Roblox experience receives a gameplay update.
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++
Build around these units first. They justify premium traits, relics, and reroll currency.
S+
Excellent units that can carry difficult content when the rest of the team supports them.
S
Reliable endgame units. They are strong investments if you do not own the very top picks.
A
Worth building for progression, especially when they fill a role your team lacks.
B
Useful as bridge units, but avoid spending rare resources unless they solve a current bottleneck.
C
Starter, farm, or temporary units. Some are low DPS but still important for economy.

Practical steps for UTDX Unit Tier List — what to enter, how results are calculated, and what to do next
How to use this tool
- Filter by the role you need (DPS, Farm, Support) before reading raw DPS tiers.
- Invest in one carry first — spreading upgrades across many mid units stalls Legend/Infinite progress.
- Check obtain method: a slightly lower tier unit from codes can beat an unobtainable banner unit today.
- 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
| Variable | Meaning |
|---|---|
| DPS score | Relative damage planning score used to place S++ → C bands |
| Role value | Farm/Support can rank above raw DPS because they fund or enable carries |
| Obtain practicality | Codes, story, and banners change what you can actually field this week |
| Investment cost | Duplicates, 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.
