Top Unit Spotlights

S+ Tier Meta Kings

The S+ tier units are game-changers. They possess unparalleled damage output and unique abilities that define the top of the meta.

• Cod (Atomic): Cod is arguably one of the strongest units in the game. After evolution, he becomes a Hybrid unit. His final upgrade grants him the largest Full AoE range available. His Atomic ability acts like a nuclear explosion centered on him, effectively clearing the screen.
• Twenty One (Demon): This unit is a phenomenal all-rounder. She boasts Full AoE attacks and incredible stats. As a Hill unit, she can single-handedly carry you through most of the game’s content, making her an incredibly valuable pull for any player.
• Gohun (Beast): Gohun is an exclusive Hybrid unit with a fantastic kit. He is immune to stuns, and his damage ramps up as he defeats enemies during a wave. This makes him exceptionally powerful in longer battles. His multi-hit line AoE attack combines high damage with a very fast attack speed.

Essential Support Units

Support units are not primary damage dealers. Instead, they control the battlefield, debuff enemies, and buff your core damage units. A good support can double the effectiveness of your main DPS.

• Time King (True Power): Time King is a meta-defining support for Infinite mode. While his high placement cost makes him less suitable for short modes, his value in long games is unmatched. He passively slows all enemies in his range by 55%. Furthermore, his active ability can completely stop all enemies for several seconds, providing crucial breathing room.
• Yano (Spirit): Yano is a top-tier support because of its powerful crowd control. It applies a nearly permanent 50% slow to every enemy it touches. This constant slowing effect allows your damage dealers more time to eliminate threats. It is also a Hybrid unit with multi-hit attacks.
• Speedcart: This unit is an expensive farm unit, but it is absolutely essential for success in Infinite mode. Its key feature is providing a 15% upgrade cost reduction to the first five units placed within its range, significantly boosting your economy over a long game.
• Bulba: For shorter game modes like Story, Bulba is a must-have. She is a cheap farm unit that generates extra cash, allowing you to afford and upgrade your powerful units much earlier than normal.

Mastering Traits and Team Composition

Traits Tier List

Traits provide significant buffs to your units. Rerolling for the right trait can dramatically increase a unit’s power. Here are some of the best traits to aim for:

• S-Tier Traits: Paladin and Miracle are the top-tier secret rarity traits. Paladin offers a 100% damage and 10% range buff. Miracle provides a massive 300% damage boost, plus 10% attack speed and 20% range, along with a random Miracle buff trigger.
• A-Tier Traits: Slayer and Potential are excellent alternatives. Slayer increases damage by 25% and includes the Giant Slayer ability, which increases damage based on the enemy’s missing health. Potential does not boost damage but gives a 40% increase to XP gains, speeding up your progression.
• B-Tier Traits: This tier includes solid but basic options like Warrior 3 (damage boost), Agile 3 (reduced attack speed), and Sniper 3 (increased range). The Wealth trait is also here, which increases the Yen earned per kill by 25%.

Building a Balanced Team

Building a synergistic team is more important than just using the highest-tier units. A well-rounded team composition should include:

• One or Two Primary Damage Dealers: Choose from the S or S+ tier, such as Cod, Twenty One, or Gohun. These are your main sources of damage.
• At Least One Support Unit: Units like Time King or Yano will control the battlefield and amplify your damage.
• A Farm Unit: For any mode with waves, include Bulba or Speedcart to improve your economy and allow for faster upgrades.
• A Shield-Breaker: Certain enemies have shields that require specific units to break. Osta is the current meta choice for this role, as his attacks instantly break shields.
