FAQ
Tier list FAQ
What makes S+ tier units the best?
S+ tier units offer the highest damage output, essential utility, or game-changing abilities that remain valuable from early through endgame content.
Are Mythic units always better than Legendary?
Not always. While Mythic units generally have higher stats, some Legendary units offer better role-specific utility or team synergy for certain strategies.
Should I focus on DPS or Support units?
A balanced team works best. Aim for 2-3 DPS units for damage, 1-2 AOE units for crowd control, and 1 support unit for buffs and utility.
How often does the tier list update?
The tier list is updated after major game patches, balance changes, or when new units are added. Check the update date at the top of the page.
Can I beat late waves with lower tier units?
Lower tier units can work for early-mid game, but late waves require at least Epic+ units with proper upgrades and optimal placement strategy.
What's the best starter unit to roll for?
Focus on rolling at least one Epic or higher DPS unit early. Legendary and Mythic units dramatically accelerate progression if you can get them.
