The above All Star Tower Defense X tier list ranks all units in the game from best to worst based on their overall strength and usefulness across all game modes. Mainly, we ranked units while taking into consideration their DPS, range, SPA, and utility they provide your team with. Generally, rarer units are stronger but also more expensive to upgrade. So, use 3- and 4-star units early on before switching to more powerful units.

How to Get New Units in All Star Tower Defense X

The primary method of acquiring new units in ASTDX is by summoning them on banners.

The main way of getting new units in All Star Tower Defense X is by summoning them on banners using Gems. There are two banners, X and Y, which rotate every 60 minutes. You can only get the featured units from them. So, if you want to get a unit that isn’t currently on one of the banners, you will have to wait for it to appear on one of them. Also, you can get special Capsules that work the same as regular banner summons but with different unit pools.

Upgrading Units in All Star Tower Defense X

In All Star Tower Defense X, there are multiple ways to enhance the power of your units. First and foremost, your units become more powerful by earning XP and leveling up. Additionally, you can further boost their strength by rerolling their Traits and stat potentials, and by unlocking their hidden potential (level 18 required).
