Universal Tower Defense X Tier List [UPD 2.75]
Updated on May 4, 2026: Added Dante and Vergil. The best units in Universal Tower Defense X depend on five categories which are Hybrid, Hill, Ground, Support and Farm. I'll show you the best ones for all roles as well as talk about the best game modes, traits and relics for all units. Here's my Universal Tower Defense X tier list and guide. Table of contents Universal Tower Defense X Unit Tier List Synchro Units – Best DPS S-Tier Air/Hybrid A-Tier Air/Hybrid B-Tier Air/Hybrid C-Tier Air/Hybrid S-Tier Ground A-Tier Ground B-Tier Ground C-Tier Ground S-Tier Support A-Tier Support B-Tier Support Farm Universal Tower Defense X FAQ Universal Tower Defense X Unit Tier List Moved Sharpshooter Up, Placed Gojo above King Sailor and adjusted Ground rankings due to Vergil/Dante – Image by Destructoid This is just a preview of the Universal Tower Defense X tier list but the real ranking reasons are below. I'll go into each individual unit and talk about why it's ranked where it is, as well as the best game modes for it and specific traits. Note that I won't go much into ranking for progression since any unit can be good to progress with if you upgrade and Etherealize it with some Relics equipped. I'll focus more on Nightmare, Infinite, Challenges, Virtual Realm, etc. As for the tier breakdowns, consider the S-Tier as the META tier with the A-Tier being great alternatives and the B-Tier being weaker options. How to Synchro Fuse Units: You need both units at max upgrade either owned by you or another player via request – The Synchro unit takes the stats, traits and relics from only one unit of the Synchro Drive. How to Synchro Clash: Both units must be at max upgrade and in each other's range to trigger the combined Synchro Clash attack. Universal Tears: Tears appear in the lobby every 3 hours on a fixed cycle and stay for 3 hours before rotating out (Needed for Gojo and Sukuna base forms). Farm: Bulme (Legendary) & Fastcart (Epic) Farm Unit Tips: If you're going for Synchro run both farm units, if not Bulma is enough due to recent buffs so you have room for another DPS or Support. Grinding Tips: Check out the FAQ below for the best farming tips for Gems, Trait Rerolls and more. Synchro Units – Best DPS Synchro Units Rankings Explained Unparalleled Armor Synchro Drive Nutaru (Beast) + Ancient Shinobi (Reawakened)The best Synchro unit overall Synchro units have the best DPS in the game but cost 2 unitsIt's usually worth it with similar value as removing placements for more DPS with Ruler Notes: The best due to applying a 3s Stun/Confused on every attack + breaking armor Majestic Armor Synchro Drive Nutaru (Beast) + Sasku (Great War)The second best Synchro unit Notes: I prefer Unparalleled Armor for CC but Majestic deals pretty good damage with a ton of crit damage and DoTs on-hit Underworld God Synchro Synchro Drive Underworld God (Death) + Water God (Primordial)The third best Synchro unit Notes: Really good self-DPS boosting buffs and armor damage plus debuff cleanse Jane Juliet & Mimicry SorcererSynchro Clash These two units have a Synchro Clash Attack when at max upgrade and in each other's rangeSince this is not a Synchro unit but an attack, I won't rank it here and instead talk about it in these unit's entries Effect: Combined Beam Attack dealing 500% of the average damage between the two[(Yuta + Ryu) Damage / 2] x 5 S-Tier Air/Hybrid S-Tier Air/Hybrid Rankings Explained The Strongest in HistoryBoundlessEvo Cursed Vessel (Shrine)Unit/Evo Material from Red Tear • While all Boundless units are top-tier useful, TSIH Sukuna is the strongest in terms of DPS• Sukuna out-DPS-es King Sailor and Gojo with Mahoraga and Agito but has less CC/debuffs than Gojo• SJW Boundless can compete if you build around it with Ant King and Igris but Sukuna is stronger in base• With all the stacking buffs, debuffs and summon attacks, this is the strongest non-Synchro unit in the game• Just the sheer DoT DPS, the Domain and having two summons at once on full upgrade is crazy good • Best Trait: Ruler• Best Relics: Monarch Set with Sorcerer Hunter Spirit DMG/DMG/E.DMG(Monarch Set is from Throne Chamber Raid)• Best Substat: Cooldown Relics/DMG-CD for Accessories Jinoo, Shadow MonarchBoundlessEvo Jinoo (Monarch) • By himself Boundless SJW is weaker than Boundless Sukuna, Gojo and King Sailor• That said if you build around his synergies with Igris and Ant King he becomes much stronger• Plus all the Shadows have been massively buffed so he's a Meta unit• But keep in mind that the value you get from synergies are shared between those units so you can think of it like a mini-Synchro• The good news is that Ant King is really strong and Igris is pretty good so you don't lose anything by building around SJW • Best Trait: Ruler• Best Relics: Monarch Set with Accessories DMG/DMG/E.DMG(Monarch Set is from Throne Chamber Raid)• Best Stat & Substat: Full DMG and CD/Range/Crit Rate/Cri
