Wild Rails TD is a Dead Rails-inspired tower defense experience with fairly simple mechanics reminiscent of Ball TD and Five Night TD. Since there are so many units to collect and so few resources to spend, it's important you summon only the strongest ones. To help you with that and also trading for the best units the game has to offer, here is our Wild Rails Tower Defense tier list and trade values list.
Wild Rails Tower Defense Units Tier List
In the tier list above, we ranked all units in Wild Rails Tower Defense based on their total power (mostly). By total power, we mean [DPS * max placement count + utility]. We also took into account some other factors, which we've detailed below. Support units are in a separate tier as they don't deal damage. Trade values and unit stats, as well as pros and cons, are further down.
Ranking Factors
- Total DPS [DPS * max placement count]: Most late-game units have limited placement counts to balance them out. Because there is an overall 20-placement limit for all your units in a raid, you'll want the highest possible total DPS/placement count ratio from each of your units.
- Range: Maps have curvy/looped sections that low-range units can't exploit fully. So, the higher the range of the unit, the more options for placement you'll have and the more uptime it will have to damage enemies.
- Utility: Doctor is a support unit that can cleanse Stun, which some bosses/mini-bosses apply. You'll need these kinds of utility units for high-difficulty/event content.
- Placement Cost: The cheaper a unit is, the better it is as a starter, and the more it can help you survive those first few waves. You'll just need one of these in your squad at max. The starting cash in most stages is $300, so try to have one below or just around that cost.
- Upgrade Costs: Upgrade costs become irrelevant during longer stages as money generation exponentially increases with every wave and goes insane at 20+ waves. Because of that, farm units such as Gold Farmer are literally the most useless of all in Wild Rails TD right now.
