Universal Tower Defense X Tier List [????‍☠️UPD 3]

Updated on May 19, 2026: Reranked for Update 3 Part 1: Clash of Wills (One Piece/Huge Powercreep).

Universal Tower Defense X Tier List [????‍☠️UPD 3]

Updated on May 19, 2026: Reranked for Update 3 Part 1: Clash of Wills (One Piece/Huge Powercreep).

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.

Universal Tower Defense X Unit Tier List

Apologies for the large image - Needed to fit all units 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 or builds 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, Events, etc. As for the tier breakdowns, consider the S-Tier as the META tier with the A-Tier being great alternatives, the B-Tier being situational options and C/D being less optimal for the current Meta.

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 since you need to rush upgrades. If not, Bulma is enough due to recent buffs so you have more 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 - Massive 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 units
It'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 range.
Since 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

Rankings Explained

Joyful CaptainUniversal UnitFrom Universal Festive Banner
3 Passive Lists
Depending on which path you take

• Can be one of the best DPS and Support units depending on the path
• Top path is best for massive Full AOE DPS
• You can also run him as a DPS/Hybrid Support with the middle path for a ton of DMG amplification and knockbacks
• I would avoid the bottom path since it doesn't excel at much
• Make sure to have elemental synergies in mind for the 2.5x more with ADV and 5x less with DISADV in terms of elemental interactions

Best Trait: Ruler or Duelist
Best Relic: Warlord Set + Warlord Hat
CDMG/DMG/EDMG
Best Substats: All DMG
Best Substats: CRATE/CDMG/CD

Dragon Warlord (Rage)Secret UnitEmperor's Kingdom World Raid 8% chance

• Dragon Warlord is amazing for macro with massive Hybrid DPS and CC
• Excellent boss-killer with follow-up attacks
• Requires macro/manual control for full potential in Dragon Form

Best Trait: Ruler or Duelist
Best Relic: Warlord Set + Shadow Reaper Necklace
CDMG/DMG/EDMG
Best Substats: All DMG
Best Substats: Crit/DMG/CD/DoT + DoT/CD

Gluttonous Warlord (Despair)
Secret UnitWarlord's Ship Raid 5% chance

• A summon-based DPS with some of the best DoTs in the game
• Most of your damage comes from summon follow-up attacks

Best Trait: Ruler or Astral/Sacred
Best Relic: Warlord Set + Monarch Cape
CDMG/DMG/EDMG
Best Substats: All DMG
Best Substats: CDMG/Crit/DMG + DoT/CD

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 Monarch
BoundlessEvo 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/Crit DMG

Sharpshooter King (Trapper)Secret UnitConquered Lands Legend Stage Act 3 3% chance

• A stronger version of Sharpshooter with massive range and great DPS
• Places traps while waiting for units to get in range
• Overall has a lot of utility with DoTs, stuns and follow-up attacks

• Best Trait: Ruler/Astral

Ancient Mage (Sage)Act 3 of Beyond Fantasy Legend Stage
Evo item from the same stage

Best trait: Ruler, Astral
Best Relic Set: Super Roku
Best Stats: CritDMG/DoT Top & CritRate/DMG Bottom
Best Accessory: Bloodline Eye
Notes: Incredibly flexibile high DPS unit able to switch stat modes for burst damage, debuffs, DoTs and more

Spade (Donut)Mythic
Get Flaming Donut Hat ASAP
From Marine Base Act 1 Legend Stage
For a massive buff

• The best Air/Hill DPS unit now with the Exclusive Hat Relic and one of the best units in the game overall due to the passive on-shield damage
• Amazing for progressing story/legend stage since you can get it fast and you need a good Air ASAP
• Otherwise great for VR and Infinite as your Hill slot with Ruler as a main DPS or Astral as a secondary DPS
• Best trait is Astral since Spade is the best Burn DOT unit in the game right now

• Best Trait: Astral or Ruler
• Best Relics: Warlord + Donut Hat
DoT/DMG/EDMG
• Best Substats: DoT/DMG

String Warlord (Joker)Exclusive
Blitz Mode Battlepass Tier 15

• High-tier Hill unit with a ton of DPS from his clones
• The clones also defend String Warlord from debuffs
• Also has great debuffs and control when Birdcage is active for stuns, slows and even more damage

• Best Trait: Ruler

A-Tier Air/Hybrid

Rankings Explained

Ant King (Savage)Secret - Ant King World RaidThe EVO material also drops in the Raid

• With the new SJW synergy passive this is one of the best Hybrid DPS units
• Radiation-based Hybrid DPS that stacks damage buffs on kills
• Synergizes with Jinoo for more damage and range buffs
• If built right Ant King can output top 5 DPS in the game

Best Trait: Ruler/Astral can't stack Radiation

Crow Shinobi (Reanimated)Act 3 of Shinobi World War Legend Stage
Evo item from the same stage

Best Trait: Eternal, Astral
Best Relic Set: Rebellious Shinobi, Reanimated Armor set
Best stats: DoT Top & DMG Bottom
Best Accessory: Bloodline Eye, Spirit Armor
Notes: A ton of debuffs for enemies, great DoT DPS and massive AOE damage with meteor

Migumen (Finale)NY Capsule Exclusive

• She's now Meta with the new update
• Great DPS overall but her Nuke on max deals massive damage, especially on E6
• Apart from the Nuke she's a great Burn DoT damage unit
• This is because in addition to the Burn DoT she's also excellent against armor due to True Damage and Radiation
• Extremelly flexibile unit when you play around her active

• Best Trait: Ruler or Sacred

Phantom Captain (Carrier)Secret

• Massive DPS summoner unit that summons both attack planes on her location and line planes that explode on contact
• The line planes deal excellent supporting AOE burst damage while her personal planes deal sustained DPS AOE damage
• She also buffs her planes for +30% crit rate and +50% crit damage during the first 10 seconds of their duration for a ton of DPS
• Overall a strong contender for one of the best Hybrid DPS units

• Best Trait: Ruler

Jangluu (Eclipse)Winter Capsule Exclusive

• Deals a ton of damage on Frozen enemies even though she doesn't stun on Freeze
• Best combined with units that can freeze like Ice Empress since she also buffs Ice units
• Requires a specific team setup but can potentially be one of the best units in the game due to the Icy Flux nuke on Frozen enemies

• Best Trait: Ruler or Eternal

Rohan & Robot 16 (Limit Breaker)Mythic
Get Rohan Cape ASAP
From The Invasion Legend Stage Act 3
For a massive buff

• Massively buffed with the Rohan Cape exclusive Relic
• The slow ramp-up has been fixed a bit since the negative buff hurts less and the follow-up/Red Combo attacks are much stronger
• Plus the Cape gives you a straight 100% damage boost overall so Rohan is now quite strong but still needs a few fixes to be Meta IMO

• Best Trait: Ruler

B-Tier Air/Hybrid

Rankings Explained

Nelle (Primal)Mythic
Get Nel’s Spear ASAP
From Hollowed Eclipse Raid Shop
For a massive buff

• Might be overhyping her exclusive relic but she feels much better now and is less awkward since her baby form doesn't mess her DPS up anymore
• You're mostly in adult form with the Relic and her damage doesn't drop off as much
• Still not worth running Ichigo, but Nelle by herself is quite a decent hybrid now since the Relic gives her +200% more damage

• Best Trait: Ruler

Lord of Flies (Tempered)
Banner Mythic

• An overall sub-Meta unit since he deals high burst damage with his Resonance Stacks and can grant stun immunity
• Then he can massively buff himself for each unit he gives stun immunity to
• You can also choose to nuke enemies in a Full AOE and quickly stack up Resonance every 300 seconds
• Also has stun immunity

• Best Trait: Ruler

Berserker (Enraged)
Mythic

• Much better now in the new update with the fix
• Near top DPS unit in the game overall and incredibly useful hybrid due to game mode flexibility, CC and hyper armor damage
• Fast ramp-up value
• Obliterates armored enemies, slows and increase all damage taken on enemies

• Best Trait: Ruler or Sacred

Jinoo (Monarch)Banner Secret

• Shadows buffed and you want him for the Boundless EVO for a Meta unit
• Best unit for Infinite due to the massive scaling and decent on VR
• Note that he's better for longer game modes since he takes a while to scale up

• Best Trait: Ruler or Eternal

Bio-Android (Perfect)
Secret

• Very slow to get going but gets powerful if you have time to evolve him (Gets Hybrid) so he's better in Infinite
• Evolves by beating mini-bosses he spawns and E2 is really good since it reduces the HP of those bosses
• You need to reach Perfect state for him to be good (Hybrid+Max Upgrade) though Semi-Perfect does have Confusion which is decent support
• Most of the prime DPS comes from high base damage, Sub-Unit summons and the 5% on-hit Line AOE follow up
• That said, the active nuke does stun in an AOE which is really strong for bosses and is on a 90s global cooldown
• Overall, really slow to get going but is Meta DPS and utility on final evolution

Sharpshooter (Precision)Mythic

• Massive range with decent DPS and a decent amount of off-supporting capabilities
(Place her in the back so she's in Sniper mode)
• Can hit enemies across the entire map in Sniper mode with a neat little damage bonus
• Amazing for macroing Stages with her high range
• She can also mark enemies with her active to take more damage from all sources and buffs Fire unit damage placed near her
• Overall the best Hill alternative if you don't have Jangluu or Lord of Flies

• Best Trait: Pick the highest damage trait or Ruler since she doesn't need extra range from Traits because Sniper mode has infinite range

Koyote (Number One)Mythic

• A Hybrid-on-upgrade DPS machine that spams wolf summons on takedown dealing sustained DPS and charging energy (Especially on E4)
• Also has a massive damage burst Nuke that fires on max energy doing 500% damage
• Koyote isn't the best hybrid DPS but he's good for any mode

• Best Trait: Ruler for main DPS or Sacred/Eternal for secondary DPS

C-Tier Air/Hybrid

Rankings Explained

Dragon Guy (Silverite)Challenges Secret

• Got massive buffs to Twin Dragon Hunting Flash, Shatter and Are You Scared helping him in faster modes
• He's not a Meta DPS but he is Meta if you consider him a Hybrid DPS Support mix since he can CC enemies
• Great on Virtual Realm and Infinite but takes a while to activate his Trance
(This is not as much of a problem anymore due to buffs)
• He's best with units that can apply Freeze since his Shatter deals burst damage on frozen targets
• He can also self-cleanse stuns which is really good for Infinite

• Best Trait: Ruler or Eternal

Scarlet Maid (World)Get from Virtual Shop

• Similar to Dragon Guy where she's a hybrid DPS and Support that can now be viable with the December 20 buffs to her skill damage and The World ability
• Stuns enemies, has Slows and deals great DPS with Time Gauge stacks which trigger various high damage attacks
• The only downside is that her CC needs to be activated by attacking and is not on every attack like other CC units
• Great on Infinite
• That said, she's best when you have E6 since the CC lasts for a long time

• Best Trait: Ruler or Sacred

Ichiko (Rage)Secret

• Ichiko is good, don't get me wrong, but he's just raw DPS with not a lot of utility past the 5-second active stun that's on a 90s cooldown
• Requires a specific build around crit chance and damage to maximize his passive damage and overall DPS (Go full damage on substats)
• Still one of the better units in the game, just slightly weaker than the ones above

• Best Trait: Ruler or Sacred

Ice Empress (Forst)Winter Capsule Exclusive

• An amazing Meta Support, see why below in the Support section.
• B-Tier only in terms of Hybrid DPS

D-Tier Air/Hybrid

Rankings Explained

Mob (100%)Mythic

• Overall a great slowing unit and an always useful Hybrid that got a slight damage buff which adds up fast
• Really good for VR and Infinite as a supporting slowing option with Eternal and decent with Ruler as a DPS but I would stick to it as a support/DPS mix

• Best Trait: Ruler or Eternal

Ultiorra (Oblivion)Mythic

• Similar to Tierabel in that Ultiorra deals decent DPS and also has supporting abilities from Unpredictable Despair where he can Confuse or Stun enemies
• You also get an active Nuke that deals massive damage on a 45s cooldown which is pretty good for clearing important waves
• That said overall not the best DPS for Hill

• Best Trait: Ruler or Eternal

Cyborg (Fearless)Mythic

• The weakest Air/Hill unit but can still hold his own due to the December 20 buffs
• The main reason he's much better now is that his Nuke got a massive buff for targeted damage and is on a much lower CD
• Decent DoT and he's a must-have if you don't have Spade or other Hill units to hit fliers

• Best Trait: Wizard or Ruler

Super Roku (Enraged)Mythic

• Roku has access to amazing tech where you can teleport him to different choke points within range to prolong his DPS or beat placement boss mechanics like Zeus
• That said he's slow like Rohan & Robot 16 starting out with a massive damage debuff that goes away after a few waves but it's not worth it IMO
• Once the debuff is gone he can deal pretty decent DPS with his passive buffs but it might be too late at this point since he's just a Hill unit
• Would be better if he was Hybrid so as things stand he's a low-tier Hill unit

Tierabel (Hydro)Mythic

• Mid-damage with some support potential
• Becomes stronger in her mode
• Note that it isn't that worth it running Nell just for the combo on the first passive since it's not that much
• Overall is kind of like Mob where it's decent DPS and decent Support but not the best at either

• Best Trait: Sacred

The Strongest of Today
BoundlessEvo Infinity Sorcerer (Void)
Unit/Evo Material from Blue Tear

• DPS-wise competes with King Sailor but lower than Sukuna
• Still the best DPS Support unit in the game
• This is because while it has top tier DPS it also has a ton of debuffs and anti-hyperarmor abilities
• Plus it can hit all enemies on the map and has timestop for 30s with Domain where he stacks damage on-kill
• Plus he deals bonus damage to time-stopped enemies
• You can really go for any Boundless unit and be happy so go for Gojo if you need a lot of stuns and timestops

• Best Trait: Ruler
• Best Relic: Sorcerer Hunter Set with Strongest Sorcerers Glasses
Crit DMG/DMG/E.DMG
• Best Substats: DMG, Crit DMG, CD

Alpha Devil (Omega)
Devil Capsule Exclusive
From Event

• Both Vergil and Dante have massive range and should be kept near the spawn to constantly attack for transformation and style damage boosts
• Vergil is slightly stronger IMO due to Cone stuns with Katana or massive DPS with Demonic Gauntlets
• Also great DoT damage with Phantom Sword and Dante/Sukuna DoT team combo
• Can be hybrid with Mirage Barrage but that's a weak weapon, I wouldn't use it
• A perfect combination of high damage and stalling off-Support

• Best Traits: Duelist or Ruler
• Best Relics: Super Roku Set with Shadow Reaper Accessories DMG/DMG/EDMG
Alternative with Bio-Android + Biju
• Best Stat & Substats: Full damage + DoT/CD/Crit Rate/Crit Damage

Devil Hunter (Mercenary)
Devil Capsule Exclusive
From Event

• Incredibly strong if you can keep attacking for style damage boosts and transformations due to massive range
• Lots of build flexibility with massive Cone DoT damage with Sword or massive stall potential with Democycle with a DoT team
• Can also switch to Fancy Hat in modes where you no longer need cash but it's not good early
• Goes best with Sukuna and Vergil for heavy DoT synergy

• Best Traits: Astral or Ruler
• Best Relics: Reanimated Set + Spirit Armor/Shadow Reaper DoT/DMG/EDMG
• Best Stat & Substats: Full damage + DoT/CD/Crit Rate/Crit Damage

Mochi Pirate (Conqueror)Secret
Mirror Dimension Featured Challange 8% Chance

• Mochi Pirate is all about guaranteed crits from his passive
• That said he also has a lot of stalling support utility with Time Snail
• Very useful Ground unit overall

Best Trait: Ruler for DPS/Sacred or Fission for Support
Best Relics: Warlord Set + Shadow Reaper Necklace

A-Tier Ground

Rankings Explained

Mimicry SorcererSecret
Legend Stage Act 3

• Overall Yuta has pretty great DPS with Rika who is Hybrid and Mimicry for DoTs or follow up attacks
• You mainly want him for the max upgrade Rika summon and Synchro attack with Jane Juliet/Ryu
• If you combine him with Ryu he's bottom Meta or sub-Meta in terms of DPS
• The Synchro attack is pretty strong
• Otherwise if you don't combine him with Ryu then I don't think he's worth it over other S-Tier Ground DPS units

• Best Trait: Ruler

Mighty Roach (Cursed)Exclusive
Virtual Realm Shop

• A sleeper hit dealing massive damage but needs to be combined with at least one of the new Domain units
• When a Domain is active gains a massive damage buff
• Combined with innate AOE damage bursts and follow-up attacks from exploding insects Mighty Roach deals a ton of AOE damage
• Get him ASAP and combine him with Gojo which is the best Domain

• Best Trait: Ruler

Shadow Knight (Risen)Secret
Crimson Throne Chamber Raid

• Unlike Ant King who is good by himself Shadow Knight/Igris is only good if you combine him with SJW/Shadow Monarch
• If you do then you get both Igris for free and all upgrades for free since you can just spend on SJW
• Also has good supporting abilities with the Stuns and summoned shadow boosts
• Overall a sub-Meta unit with Boundless SJW

• Best Trait: Ruler
• Best Relics: Sorcerer Hunter Set and Sorcerer Hunter Spirit
DMG/DMG/E.DMG
• Best Substats: CD and Range

B-Tier Ground

Rankings Explained

Water God (Primordial)
Step-up banner Secret

• Both a near-Meta DPS unit by himself and SSS-Tier combo with Underworld God for the Syncro unit
• Deals great DoT damage with Affliction Time and self-boosting CRIT
• Also scales incredibly well to deal twin attacks eventually
• As a cherry on top has access for a full path damage burst with Wave on a 60s cooldown

• Best Trait: Eternal or Sacred
• Has Synchro with Underworld God

Jane Juliet/Ryu (Larper)Banner Mythic

• Quite a decent DPS/Support Hybrid since he can buff your top DPS unit
• He also has pretty great Line AOE attacks and CC
• I wouldn't use him though unless you plan to combine him with Mimicry Sorcerer for the Synchro beam attack
• The beam is really strong when you max out Yuta and Ryu
• Great if you don't have better units from S-Tier

Underworld God (Death)
Banner Mythic

• Has Synchro with Water God
• The Evo Base/Non-Syncro version of Hades is an alt-Meta Ground Circle AOE DPSs
• With just 2 placements it's incredibly worth to go Ruler for massive damage
• He just stacks DoTs which deal impressive damage

• Best Trait: Ruler

Gambler Sorcerer (Jackpot)Banner Mythic

• Can be quite strong if you get lucky on the Domain procs but it's all RNG
• He's A-Tier or sub S-Tier if you chain 777 procs but otherwise he's pretty slow to get going
• I would rather use an SJW team comp, a Synchro unit comp or the Synchro Clash attack comp
• That said Hakari can out-put sub-Meta levels DPS if you get lucky on Domain and you like the random style

• Best Trait: Ruler

Kriatu (Cheater)Mythic

• Moved Kriatu up a little since he's really good for VR
• Deals increasingly more damage as he crits
• Get the Duelist trait on him ASAP so that he can crit more and therefore ramp up damage faster
• He can only gain more crit from Traits
• Got a huge buff on ability damage making him even better but overall he's still mid compared to the units of today

• Best Trait: Duelist

• Weaker DPS potential than Jane/Ryu and Hakari/Gambler but a pretty decent support DPS hybrid with Domain
• I would mostly use it for Confusion but the Executioner sword does deal decent damage if you need extra DPS

Fallen Prince (Ruthless)Banner Mythic

• Also a ramp-up unit like Roku and Rohan but unlike them he's not slow since he gets no damage debuff
• He just keeps buffing himself up each wave and kill with damage, crit chance, range and attack speed until he goes Super Saiyan
• Once you reach max cap with his crit chance buff (0.25% per kill up to 30%) he goes SS with Hyper Armor Damage and guaranteed crits after a few kills
• Overall a very strong Ground unit that's good for any mode and isn't that slow like some Cell Update units

• Best Trait: Ruler

Dragon Slayer (Hero)All Banners
Evo items from Act 1 of Beyond Fantasy Legend Stage

Best Trait: Ruler, Eternal
Best Relic Set: Super Roku
Best Stats: DMG Both
Best Accessory: Reaper Necklace
Notes: A decent alt-Meta DPS with great boss damage that increases if boss is stunned or has DoTs

First Human (Father)
Featured Challenge Secret

• One of the more flexibile Ground units in the game with his follow-up attack elemental mechanic
• Basically you can customize Adam's attacks by choosing which elemental unit to place near him and have him do follow up attacks
• Each element has a different effect from high DPS to debuff support to even Hybrid mode (Light)

• Best Trait: Ruler

D-Tier Ground

Rankings Explained

Robot 17 & 18 (Fighterz)Mythic

• A low-tier Ground unit that's better than Roku but not Rohan with EXC Relic
• They deal decent Circle AOE DPS with massive range and you can switch between them for 3 seconds of Disruption or Confusion per switch which is great utility
• As a cherry on top they're also immune to stuns and have an active Nuke on final upgrade for decent damage
• Overall an okay Ground unit with good DPS and some support potential but nowhere near meta

The Drink (Survivor)
Mythic

• A simple and decent Full AOE contender for your Ground slot that deals impressive DPS thanks to various self buffs
• Also does Burn damage on Upgrade 6
• Overall not a lot of utility here, just pure DPS so it's not a must-have but it's nice to have

Sasku (Chakra)Mythic

• Overall decent on any mode with excellent DoT damage, utility and overall DPS (Especially with the buffs on Arrow and Kirin) but the new Sasuke just makes this one obsolete
• Also has decent CC for pseudo-supporting
• Excellent for grinding Story since he's easy to get and EVO

• Best Trait: Wizard or Ruler

Grommjow (Panther)
Exclusive

• Deals decent AOE DPS and works similarly to Koyote where you're collecting meter but instead of a nuke, Grommjow transforms on full meter
• The transformation boosts both single-target DPS and AOE damage due to the explosion per enemy
• Great against armor

• Best Trait: Ruler or Eternal

Ronin Obito/Rogue OniExclusive
Day 7 Daily Reward

• Powercrept and obsolete

• Best Trait: Wizard

Footballer (Ego)Exclusive
BattlePass Reward
Level 25

• Powercrept and obsolete

• Best Trait: Ruler or Sacred

S-Tier Debuff Support (Stuns, Slows, DMG Amp, etc.)

S-Tier Support

Rankings Explained

The Strongest of Today
BoundlessEvo Infinity Sorcerer (Void)
Unit/Evo Material from Blue Tear

• DPS-wise competes with King Sailor but lower than Sukuna
• Still the best DPS Support unit in the game
• This is because while it has top tier DPS it also has a ton of debuffs and anti-hyperarmor abilities
• Plus it can hit all enemies on the map and has timestop for 30s with Domain where he stacks damage on-kill
Plus he deals bonus damage to time-stopped enemies
• You can really go for any Boundless unit and be happy so go for Gojo if you need a lot of stuns and timestops

• Best Trait: Ruler
• Best Relic: Sorcerer Hunter Set with Strongest Sorcerers Glasses
Crit DMG/DMG/E.DMG
• Best Substats: DMG, Crit DMG, CD

Sasku (Great War)Shinobi Battlefield Raid Act 5/Boss Rush/Evolved from Sasku (Chakara)
Evo item from Raid Shop

Best Trait: Ruler or Eternal
Best Relic Set: Rebellious Shinobi
Best Stats: DMG/Crit DMG Top & CD/Crit Rate Bottom
Best Accessory: Biju Energy, Bloodline Eye
Notes: Flexibile as both a DPS and support with a ton of debuffs and DoTs
Has great stun defence

Evo item from the same stage

Best trait: Ruler, Astral
Best Relic Set: Super Roku
Best Stats: CritDMG/DoT Top & CritRate/DMG Bottom
