Update 4 of All Star Tower Defense X brings a fresh batch of units and balance changes that have shaken up the meta. With eight new 5-stars, four 4-stars, and one 3-star, this patch has introduced both powerful new additions and some less-than-stellar options.
Below is the complete tier list for Update 4, along with reasoning for each placement.
All Star Tower Defense X Update 4 Tier List – NEW META
S-Tier – The Absolute Best
These units dominate the meta. They offer exceptional damage, utility, or both, and are must-haves for serious players.
Venus – Currently the strongest unit in the game. Exceptional DPS and utility make her the go-to choice for top players.
Etri – Hybrid powerhouse that works as both a high-DPS attacker and a support unit. Versatile in almost every mode.
Michelib M – Slightly weaker than Etri, but still elite-tier damage and utility.
Darkwing – Overpowered raw damage output. Melts through enemies.
Super Boral – Extremely strong offensive presence.
Black Stash (Support) – The best pure support unit in the game. Reduces cooldowns, enhances DPS of allies.
A-Tier – Very Strong Choices
Solid performers that can carry games, though they may lack the overwhelming dominance of S-tier units.
Magma Marine – High A-tier damage dealer, reliable and consistent.
Spade – Versatile damage unit with good scaling.
Zak – Similar strengths to Spade, fits well in most team comps.
Serious Killer – Excellent single-target burst damage.
Future T – Strong late-game performance with good AoE.
Mistress Lady – Balanced DPS and utility.
Silent Swordsman – Reliable in multiple scenarios.
B-Tier – Good, But Not Essential
These units are useful but not meta-defining. They can be great fillers if you lack S/A-tier picks.
Frieza – Good AoE, but overshadowed by higher-tier options.
Spider Boss – Decent for crowd control, situational.
Sky God – Mid-range AoE support damage.
C-Tier – Average
Mediocre units. They can work in niche situations, but better options exist.
Jinong – Decent overall, but lacks high impact.
Super God Goku – Sits at the high end of C-tier thanks to decent versatility.
Zesty General – Respectable DPS, but overshadowed by top-tier picks.
Alligator – Borderline B-tier, but slightly inconsistent.
Box – Serviceable but nothing special.
Kujo – Fair DPS, but not competitive at higher levels.
D-Tier – Below Average
These units struggle to compete in the current meta.
Aaron – Underwhelming DPS.
Ekki Hollow Eky – Slightly better than Aaron, still not great.
White Stash – Weak for a support unit.
Shark Ninja – Lacks both damage and utility.
The Strongest One – Misleading name — performs poorly compared to others.
F-Tier – Avoid
These units are not recommended unless for collection purposes.
Explosion Unit – Very low effectiveness.
Water Goddess – Weak output, little utility.
Uni – Inefficient in almost all modes.
Mercury Guardian – Poor performance overall.
Zeruto (Beast Club) – Possibly the worst unit in the game.
