Ultimate Wild Rails Tower Defense Unit Tier List [Blood Moon]

The wolf is aura farming.

Updated on May 26, 2025: Added all the new units up to the Blood Moon set. Toxic Wastes coming soon.

When it comes to Roblox Wild Rails Tower Defense units it all comes down to damage-per-second since almost all of them are single-target. There are some exceptions when it comes to the best starters, summons, and support units which I’ll elaborate on. Here’s my Wild Rails Tower Defense unit tier list.

All Wild Rails Tower Defense Units Ranked

I’m going to outline worst to best Wild Rails Tower Defense units from D-Tier to SSS-Tier taking into account DPS, Utility, and Starter potential. I’m going to be assuming a unit’s full potential so for my DPS calculations I’m going with a fully upgraded one. Of course upgrade pricing also comes into account in the rankings. I’ll explain my reasoning for each unit below and note that it’s better to trade for units than pay gold for them in the Index which I’ll also go into below.

A great single target option with some of the best range and is the best starter unit. Worth much more than its Index value in trading at around 4000 to 6000.Gold Rush Chests & Trading

Cleopatra
Rarity: Gold
Type: Summoner and Economy
Cooldown: 25
Summon Health: 28000
Income: 2000
The best summoner unit in the entire game that also acts as an Economy unit for income. It doesn’t have the best income in the game but that doesn’t matter since it’s actually useful and valuable so it’s S-Tier. The regular Income units aren’t worth it in this game unless you’re playing in a group.Egypt Event

Bigfoot
Rarity: Exclusive
Full Upgrade DPS: 1666
Type: AOE Damage
Range: 18
The strongest Robux purchase Exclusive unit with great AOE and good range.Shop for 799 Robux

Electrocorn

Full Upgrade DPS: 1000
Type: AOE Damage
Range: 13
Low range but still a great AOE damage unit and starter from the Scientist Crate set.Scientist Crate

Werebunny
Rarity: Godly
Full Upgrade DPS: 2800
Type: Damage
Range: 16
This is one of the best DPS to affordability ratios you can get so you should aim for Werebunny first to carry you through missions so you can grind. It’s easy to get through trading for around 1500 to 1800 gold but you can grab it from the Easter Crate as well.Easter Crate

Wolf
Rarity: Legendary
Full Upgrade DPS: 200
Type: Damage
Range: 18
The second-best starter unit in the game that will carry you until you can place other A or S Tier units. Trade for it ASAP at around 30 to 50.Summon

A-Tier Units in Wild Rails Tower Defense

UnitInfoRanking ExplanationHow to Get

Priest
Rarity: Mythic
Full Upgrade DPS: 1687
Type: Damage
Range: 15
Currently the strongest Mythic you can summon.Summon

Toxic Wolf
Rarity: Legendary
Full Upgrade DPS: 1000
Type: Damage
Range: 16
The best affordable starter from the Toxic Crate set.Toxic Crate

Camel Base
Rarity: Legendary
Type: Summoner and Economy
Cooldown: 35
Summon Health: 5400
Income: 800
The Conductor is a better summoner unit but Camel Base offers a steady influx of income at 800 on full upgrade so you get that Cleopatra type of value on a weaker level.Egypt Event

Arsonist
Rarity: Exclusive
Full Upgrade DPS: 533
Type: Splash Damage
Range: 14
A decent option for clearing groups early but not the best starter from the Robux exclusives.Shop for 399 Robux on Sale right now.

Werewolf
Rarity: Mythic
Full Upgrade DPS: 1538
Type: Damage
Range: 14
Best Mythic unit in the game that you should summon for when you see it.Summon

Turret Bunny
Rarity: Mythic
Full Upgrade DPS: 1500
Type: Damage
Range: 17
Best attack speed in the game that rounds out at 1500 damage per second. Go for it in the Easter Crate but I would highly recommend you try for it in trading since you can get it for 500 or less if the community follows the lower value.Easter Crate

Jade Vampire
Rarity: Gold
Full Upgrade DPS: 1400
Type: Damage
Range: 12

Bit of a lower range but still one of the better Jade units with great DPS.Jade Crate

Knight
Rarity: Mythic
Full Upgrade DPS: 1,221
Type: Damage
Range: 15
A mid Mythic unit but still a good roll to get from Summons.Summon

Sniper
Rarity: Mythic
Full Upgrade DPS: 1166
Type: Damage
Range: 25
The second-highest range unit in the game after the Golden Horse and deals decent damage for a Mythic. It’s just that you only get 5 that’s the issue.Summon

Conductor
Rarity: Mythic
Type: Summoner
Cooldown: 22
Summon Health: 22000
Summoning units are actually great in Wild Rails Tower Defense and the Conductor is the best Summon unit in the game that has multiple ways to get it right now so go for it.Summon & Wheel

Doctor
Rarity: Legendary
Type: Support
Cooldown: 2
Range: 12
The Doctor cleanses stuns from your units so it’s SSS-Tier in runs where there are enemies who stun your units. If not, you can ignore this unit. You can get him for cheap with trades for like 20 to 50 gold.Summon

Scientist
Rarity: Epic
Full Upgrade DPS: 250
Type: Damage
Range: 13
Actually one of the top 3 starters in the game because it’s easy-to-get, cheap placements and upgrades, and decent damage. Wolf and Golden Horse are better starters but this is a legit option as your third pick from Scientist Creates.Scientist Crate

B-Tier Units in Wild Rails Tower Defense

UnitInfoRanking ExplanationHow to Get

Survivalist
Rarity: Legendary
Full Upgrade DPS: 700
Type: Damage
Range: 15
One of the best single target legendaries DPS wise but not a great starter.Summon

Vampire Hunter
Rarity: Epic
Full Upgrade DPS: 600
Type: Damage
Range: 16
A pretty decent starter from the Blood Moon crates.Blood Moon Crates

Camel
Rarity: Epic
Full Upgrade DPS: 500
Type: Splash Damage
Range: 15
The best AOE damage unit in B-Tier and if it was a bit cheaper it would be the best starter in the game.Egypt Event
Rarity: Rare
Full Upgrade DPS: 214
Type: AOE
Range: 14
The opposite of Camel with low damage but amazing starter potential due to the low cost. The best starter from the Egypt Event.Egypt Event

High Roller
Rarity: Legendary
Type: Economy
Income: 1500
Slightly better than Golden Farmer but not by much. Income units are still trash for solo play and are only okay when in a group so that others can actually place down damage towers while you generate money.Scientist Crate

Oil Miner
Rarity: Legendary
Type: Economy
Income: 2350
Technically the best out of High Roller and Golden Farmer but still not great for the same reasons as High Roller.Blood Moon Crate

Jade Master
Rarity: Gold
Type: Summoner
Cooldown: 20
Summon Health: 6800
I was debating whether to put this in A-Tier since Summon units are great in this game but B-Tier it is since Conductor does much more for your team. Still, Jade Master is pretty damn good.Jade Crate

Vampire
Rarity: Legendary
Full Upgrade DPS: 666
Type: Damage
Range: 11
Despite the low range this is one of the best Legendary DPS units.Summon

Egginator
Rarity: Legendary
Full Upgrade DPS: 642
Type: Damage
Range: 15
One of the best Legendary units in the game and it’s better to get through trading since you can buy him for cheap and don’t spend over 100 gold in trades.Easter Crates

GanderBlox
Rarity: Exclusive
Full Upgrade DPS: 622.5
Type: Damage
Range: 15
One of the Robux units that’s pretty okay if you don’t want to mess with trading as you’re starting out. It’s got a DPS comparable to Legendaries though but 8 max placement isn’t bad. 499 at Robux Store

Horse
Rarity: Exclusive
Full Upgrade DPS: 597
Type: Damage
Max Placement:
Range: 17
Similar to GanderBlox with lower DPS but higher placement at 10 max.399 at Robux Store

Golden Wolf
Rarity: Gold
Full Upgrade DPS: 462
Type: Damage
Range: 20
Great range and slow cooldowns but okay DPS. Regular Wolf is better though since it’s a great starter and this one is painfully slow.Gold Rush Chests

Golden Farmer
Rarity: Gold
Type: Economy
Income: 1250
Max Placement: 4
So here’s the thing, economy/farm units in Wild Rails Tower Defense are horrible, you’re better off just placing regular units and you’ll get more cash by farming enemies. Economy units are only good when you’re playing in a team and your allies can build DPS units while you focus on economy. In this case use Golden Farmer.Gold Rush Chests

Woof Master
Rarity: Legendary
Type: Summoner
Cooldown: 20
Summon Health: 4500
Not a bad unit overall but the weakest Summon unit for sure. You’ll still be fine with a Woof Master though, it’s not trash.Summon

C-Tier Units in Wild Rails Tower Defense

UnitInfoRanking ExplanationHow to Get

Pirate
Rarity: Rare
Full Upgrade DPS: 220
Type: Damage
Range: 10
The best Rare unit and a great starter for early game.Summon

Zombie
Rarity: Epic
Full Upgrade DPS: 200
Type: Damage
Range: 12
Best Epic unit but you’ll want to get better units overall but it has good placement at 20 max.Summon

Easter Bunny
Rarity: Epic
Full Upgrade DPS: 166
Type: Damage
Range: 16
Less DPS than Zombie but cheaper upgrades.Easter Crate

Shotgunner
Rarity: Epic
Full Upgrade DPS: 160
Type: Damage
Range: 11
The weakest Epic unit in the game, go for something better.Summon

Jade Miner
Rarity: Gold
Full Upgrade DPS: 150
Type: Damage
Range: 14
Weakest Jade unit in the game.Jade Chests

Golden Cowboy
Rarity: Gold
Full Upgrade DPS: 149
Type: Damage
Range: 15
One of the worst Gold units in the game. It’s an okay starter but there are so many better or easier-to-get options with Pirate, Wolf, and Golden Horse.Gold Rush Chest

D-Tier Units in Wild Rails Tower Defense

UnitInfoRanking ExplanationHow to Get
Agent, Miner, Cowboy, TorcherXThese are just your basic beginner units with some starter potential but otherwise you should replace them ASAP.Summon

Farmer
Rarity: Rare
Type: Economy
Income: 500
Max Placement: 5
Same argument for the Golden Farmer above but the Golden Farmer is much better. Only use this in a team but even then it’s not worth it as much as the Golden version.Summon

It’s always better to trade for units and you can get some of the best ones through trading. Go for the great starters like Wolf and the best affordable DPS units like Werebunny. Then aim for Golden Horse through trades and you’re set. That’s it for my Wild Rails Tower Defense Tier List. Don’t forget to check out our Wild Rails Tower Defense codes for free goodies!
