Ball Tower Defense Tier List and Trade Values (December 2024)

December 17 Update: C, D, and E tiers were incorrect. It’s fixed now.

The summon mechanic is fairly unusual in Ball TD, and with so many banners, you’ll have no clue which to focus on, especially if you’re a new player. But the Roblox try-harders here at The Escapist have got your back. To familiarize yourself with the meta and pull for the best units this game has to offer, here is our definitive Ball Tower Defense tier list!

Ball TD Units Tier List – Forest Crate Update

You can check out our Ball Tower Defense tier list in the image above. Generally, the DPS gap between rarities is huge, and putting different rarity units in the same tier isn’t really right. So, consider this tier list as a priority guide on which units you should aim for from each rarity.

BTD Unit List & Trade Values

In the tables below, you can find information on each unit’s stats in Ball TD, including why they are good or bad compared to other units of the same rarity. In the rightmost column, you will find their trade values. If you need extra info on certain units or some other in-game mechanics, be sure to visit the Ball Tower Defense Trello.
