Ultimate Wild Rails Tower Defense Unit Tier List

The wolf is aura farming.

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.

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.

Best Units in Wild Rails Tower Defense

UnitInfoRanking ExplanationHow to Get

Golden Warebunny
Rarity: Gold
Full Upgrade DPS: 5000
Type: Damage
Range: 18
The best unit in the game and it’s worth around 12k to 15k gold through trading so it should be your goal since it’s 0 Stock right now.Easter Event (10000 Eggs) & Trading

Golden Horse
Rarity: Gold
Full Upgrade DPS: 3125
Type: Damage
Range: 34
The third-best unit in the game if not even competing for #1 because it has 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

Golden Bunny
Rarity: Gold
Full Upgrade DPS: 2900
Type: Damage
Range: 15
Highly competitive unit and easier to get than the ones above so it’s a much more affordable META DPS option.Easter Event (7500 Eggs) & Trading

Golden Egginator
Rarity: Gold
Full Upgrade DPS: 3976
Type: Damage
Range: 17
One of the highest DPS units in the game and the second-best unit overall.Easter Event (9500 Eggs) & Trading

S-Tier Units in Wild Rails Tower Defense

UnitInfoRanking ExplanationHow to Get

Jarewolf
Rarity: Gold
Full Upgrade DPS: 2880
Type: Damage
Max Placement:
Range: 14
A 1% Drop from the Jade Crate but it’s amazing and is almost SSS-Tier.Jade Crate in the Shop & Trading

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 & Trading

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 & Trading

A-Tier Units in Wild Rails Tower Defense

UnitInfoRanking ExplanationHow to Get

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 & Trading

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 & Trading

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 & Trading

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 & Trading

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 & Trading

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 & Trading

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 & Trading

Pirate
Rarity: Rare
Full Upgrade DPS: 220
Type: Damage
Range: 10
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 for poor people.Summon & Trading

B-Tier Units in Wild Rails Tower Defense

UnitInfoRanking ExplanationHow to Get

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 & Trading

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 & Trading

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 & Trading

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 & Trading

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 & Trading

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 & Trading

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 & Trading

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 & Trading

C-Tier Units in Wild Rails Tower Defense

UnitInfoRanking ExplanationHow to Get

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 & Trading

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

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

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

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 & Trading

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 & Trading

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 & Trading

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!
