Choosing the right units is crucial, especially when faced with limited resources and a gacha system. The right units can make a big difference in your team's performance, ensuring you’re prepared for even the toughest waves. Focusing on synergy and efficiency is key, as some units excel at solo damage while others shine when paired with supportive allies. To get the resources needed to get the best units faster, redeem Horror Tower Defense codes.

This Horror Tower Defense Tier List highlights the pros and cons of each character, outlining those worth your investment and those better off sold for stronger units. Note that Golden and Frozen Units are intentionally left out of this list to avoid redundancy. These enhanced versions of base units typically perform 1–2 tiers higher, so if you pull a Golden or Frozen Unit, consider it an upgrade worth utilizing!
