Garden Tower Defense Tier List

In this Garden Tower Defense tier list, we’ve organized all the units based on how well they perform in their specific roles. It’s essential to have an affordable unit early on to get things started before putting something expensive like the Golem on your team. That’s why we’ve placed the strongest options for early, mid, and late-game near the top. When determining rankings, we considered factors such as Damage, Range, Speed, AoE potential, cost efficiency, and overall usefulness.

As we can see, not all units in Garden Tower Defense were made equal. It is essential to have both early- and late-game units, as the waves become progressively harder as they go on. A unit like the Potato will carry you early on, but as the enemies spawn with more HP, you will need something like the Venus Flytrap or the Laser Plant to deal with them.

In Garden Tower Defense, you’ll usually get new units by spending Seeds to summon them. The selection changes every few hours, so not every unit is available at all times. Some special units can only be unlocked with Robux or by picking up the VIP pass.
