Universal Tower Defense X: Unit Tier List
All 30+ units ranked S++ to C by DPS, role, and meta value. Filter by role. Updated for Update 3.0 Wano units.
Quick Summary
The definitive UTDX tier list ranking all 30+ units from S++ (must-have carries like Gear 5 Luffy and Madara) to C-tier (bench warmers). Each unit shows DPS rating, best trait, recommended relic set, and role classification (DPS/Support/Debuffer/Hybrid). Fully updated for Update 3.0 Wano arc units. Filter by role to find exactly the unit type your team needs.
Meta Tip
Don't just chase the highest DPS — the best teams balance DPS + Support + Farm. Always include a Farm unit (Speed Wagon / Bulma) for economy. Use Ruler trait on your #1 carry and Fission/Astral combo for DoT scaling.
How UTDX Unit Rankings Work
Our tier list evaluates every unit across four dimensions, weighted by their impact on competitive play:
Base damage per second at max level with optimal trait and relic setup. Higher raw DPS means faster stage clears.
How well a unit benefits from S-rank traits like Ruler (burst) or Eternal (scaling). Units with high trait multiplier scaling rank higher.
Performance consistency across Story, Legend, Infinite, Virtual Realm, and PvP. Units that excel in multiple modes score higher.
Contribution to team synergies beyond personal DPS. Support units that enable +50% team damage score high despite low personal DPS.
Current Meta Snapshot (Update 3.0)
- Joyful Captain — Update 3.0 addition, now #1 single-target DPS
- First Emperor — Best AoE in the game with Bio-Android relic
- King Sailor — Eternal trait scaling makes him infinite-mode king
- Dragon Warlord — Still strong but outclassed by Wano units
- Ace (Base) — Evolved form is great, but base form fell to A-tier
- Naruto units — Power crept by One Piece collab batch
UTDX Unit Tier List Guide
This Universal Tower Defense X tier list ranks every unit in the game from S++ (God Tier) to C (Starter) based on their overall meta value in the current Update 3.0 patch. The UTDX meta is heavily influenced by the interaction between units, traits, and relic sets, meaning that a lower-tier unit with the right Ruler or Eternal trait can outperform a higher-tier unit with a B-rank trait. Use this tier list as a guide for which units to prioritize for investment, but always consider your specific team composition and game mode focus.
The biggest factor most players overlook is role balance. Running 6 S++ DPS units without a Farm unit means you will run out of gold by wave 10 and lose to teams with balanced compositions. The optimal team structure is 1-2 DPS carries (S+ or higher), 1 Farm unit (Speed Wagon), 1-2 Support/Debuff units for crowd control, and 1 flex slot that adapts to the game mode. Use our DPS Calculator and Team Builder alongside this tier list to create truly optimized lineups.
