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.
Best Units in Wild Rails Tower Defense
| Unit | Info | Ranking Explanation | How to Get |
|---|---|---|---|
Golden Turret Bunny | Rarity: Gold Full Upgrade DPS: 5125 Type: Damage Range: 14 | The best single target DPS unit in the game and is much more affordable than Golden Warebunny. | Easter Event |
| Rarity: Godly Full Upgrade DPS: 4000 Type: AOE Damage Range: 15 | The highest damage AOE unit in the game. | Blood Moon Crate |
Toxic Tesla | Rarity: Godly Full Upgrade DPS: 3750 Type: AOE Damage Range: 16 | The runner-up for the highest AOE damage in the game. | Toxic Crate |
Nikola Tesla | Rarity: Godly Full Upgrade DPS: 3500 Type: AOE Damage Range: 15 | The third highest AOE damage unit in the game. | Scientist Crate |
Anubis | Rarity: Gold Full Upgrade DPS: 3500 Type: AOE and Splash Damage Range: 15 | One of the best units in the game for clearing waves because it has both an AOE cone and Splash damage with amazing DPS. | Egypt Event |
Tesla | Rarity: Godly Full Upgrade DPS: 3000 Type: AOE Damage Range: 15 | Like Nikola Tesla but 500 less DPS. | Summon |
Unicorn | Rarity: Exclusive Full Upgrade DPS: 2500 Type: AOE Damage Range: 15 | Really strong starter unit with full AOE. | Trade |
Pharaoh | Rarity: Godly Full Upgrade DPS: 2500 Type: AOE Damage Range: 14 | Second-best AOE damage unit from the Egypt Event. | Egypt Event |
| Rarity: Mythic Full Upgrade DPS: 2050 Type: AOE Damage Range: 15 | The second-best AOE damage unit from the Toxic Crate. | Toxic Crate |
Golden Warebunny | Rarity: Gold Full Upgrade DPS: 5000 Type: Damage Range: 18 | One of the best single target units 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 | 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 |
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) |
Golden Egginator | Rarity: Gold Full Upgrade DPS: 3976 Type: Damage Range: 17 | One of the highest single target DPS units in the game. | Easter Event (9500 Eggs) |
S-Tier Units in Wild Rails Tower Defense
| Unit | Info | Ranking Explanation | How to Get |
|---|---|---|---|
Jarewolf | Rarity: Gold Full Upgrade DPS: 2880 Type: Damage Range: 14 | A 1% Drop from the Jade Crate but it’s amazing and is almost SSS-Tier. | Jade Crate in the Shop |
Winged Vampire | Rarity: Mythic Full Upgrade DPS: 2300 Type: Damage Range: 14 | The second-best unit from the Blood Moon crates. | Blood Moon Crate |
Skeleton Horse | Rarity: Gold Full Upgrade DPS: 2500 Type: Damage Range: 14 | The second best overall single target unit in S-Tier right behind Jarewolf. | Trade |
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 | Rarity: Mythic 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
| Unit | Info | Ranking Explanation | How 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
| Unit | Info | Ranking Explanation | How 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
| Unit | Info | Ranking Explanation | How 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
| Unit | Info | Ranking Explanation | How to Get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agent, Miner, Cowboy, Torcher | X | These 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!
