Retro Tower Defense Tier List – Best Towers

The best towers in Retro Tower Defense depend on whether you’re looking for a top-tier DPS, support or farm unit. I’ll show you the best options for all three roles below. Here’s my Retro Tower Defense tier list and tower guide.

Retro Tower Defense Tower Tier List

This Retro Tower Defense tower tier list will show you the strongest units for damage, support and farm. Note that while Mage and Noli are top-tier DPS units the Hyperlaser Sniper is also incredibly good and is in A for just slightly lower sustained damage numbers. As for support and farm units like Helper Bot, Tycoon and Bling Boxxer are your best bet. That said, let’s take a look at each unit individually below. And just briefly, here are all the roll chances:

• Starter: 51.39%
• Rare: 35.97%
• Epic: 10.28%
• Legendary: 2.06%
• Heroic: 0.31%

S-Tier Towers

S-Tier Towers	Why S-Tier
Mage	• IMO the best unit in Retro Tower Defense DPS-wise • The magma spikes do so much AOE damage with amazing range • Can pretty much solo with fly, slate and ghost detection • She’s a September quest reward.
Noli	• You can never go wrong with rolling for Noli as he’s the second-best unit in the game • All of his Tiers are incredibly powerful and he’s a perfect fit in any team and an alternative to Mage
Helper Bot	• Best support unit in the game • Gives your Towers a 60% buff at max that stacks for OP damage • Mind you the stacking is for other players’ Helper Bots if you’re playing in a group for a maximum of 240%
Tycoon	• This is your farm unit that’s a must-have in my opinion to make the game much easier • You can only have one
Rocket	• Great support DPS tower to weaken enemies for your main DPS towers like Hyperlaser and Noli • Great mid-game upgrades • Can be expensive but offers great damage and splash

A-Tier Towers

A-Tier Towers	Why A-Tier
Doombringer	• One of the best units in the game for Normal and Casual that can carry you • Great starter and good for dealing with low HP enemies • Not the best in Hard which is why it’s A instead of S
Hyperlaser Sniper	• An amazing alternative to Noli and the S-Tier DPS towers since Hyperlaser deals really great damage • A budget option that can carry you would be something like a combo of HL with Bling Boxxer • That said also combos great with Helper Bot and Tycoon
Bling Boxxer	• An excellent support tower and a great starter
Sniper	• An excellent high damage long range unit for supporting your main DPS units • Great for weakening high HP enemies but not good for finishing low HP enemies or dealing with crowds
Paintballer	• An excellent high placement unit with good damage

B-Tier Towers

B-Tier Towers	Why B-Tier
Poison	• When I started out I thought Poison was a really great Tower but once you start clearing harder levels it’s quite slow • It’s not bad by any means I just prefer Hyperlaser and other faster DPS units
Freezer	• Not the best but the effect is pretty good
Flamer	• Decent unit for crowd control but otherwise there are better options
Pistoler	• A great mid-game unit if you don’t have anything better • Decent on most maps if you don’t have Hyperlaser

C-Tier Towers

C-Tier Towers	Why C-Tier
Windforcer & Bloxxer	• Your resident beginner units and starters that you should replace when you can
