If you’ve just started grinding Roblox’s Noob Tower Defense, picking the right units early can save you hours of frustration. Some units carry hard, some fall off instantly, and a few are just not worth touching at all.
This guide breaks everything down in a way that actually helps you decide what to use, not just what looks strong on paper.
Active Codes (Start Here First)
Before anything else, grab the free stuff.
- HAL
- LIKES6K
These can give you units or resources that help you skip early grind. If you’re new, this step alone can change your starting lineup.
Tier List Overview (Simple Breakdown)
Instead of overcomplicating it, here’s how the tiers work:
- Broken (S Tier): Meta-defining, must-have units
- Great (A Tier): Strong and reliable
- Solid (B Tier): Usable but not optimal
- Mid / Useless (C Tier): Avoid unless you have no choice
- Support Tier: Not DPS, but essential for team play
S Tier (Broken Units You Should Aim For)
These are the units that carry games.
Juggernaut (Best DPS in the Game)
If you get this, you’re basically set.
- Insane single-target damage
- Strong range
- Works in almost every setup
This is your main carry unit, no debate.
Hacker
Still one of the strongest units even after nerfs.
- High damage output
- Great late-game scaling
Used to be completely broken, now just very strong.
Railgunner
A more accessible powerhouse.
- High burst damage
- Reliable in most situations
If you can’t get Juggernaut, this is your fallback carry.
Pyromancer
Very strong due to area damage.
- Great for crowd control
- Consistent DPS across waves
Perfect for handling large enemy groups.
Legionnaire
Underrated but extremely strong.
- Great scaling (snowball unit)
- Strong DPS for its cost
Once it ramps up, it becomes a problem for enemies.
A Tier (Great Units That Still Perform)
These won’t carry like S tier, but they’re still strong.
King
- Best anti-air option
- Summoner unit
- Great in multiplayer
Not top-tier DPS, but fills a very important role.
Knox
- Decent overall performance
- Not the best, but reliable
Good filler unit if you don’t have better options.
Knight
Surprisingly better than people think.
- Solid survivability
- Works well early to mid game
Support Units (Don’t Skip These)
Support wins games, especially in longer runs.
Veteran (Top Support Pick)
- Boosts team efficiency
- Helps with economy
Musician
- Strong support effects
- Helps scaling during longer matches
Medic
Often underrated.
- Keeps units alive
- Very useful in tougher waves
Best Units for Beginners
If you’re just starting out, don’t chase rare units immediately.
1X1X1X1
This is your best early-game unit.
- Easy to obtain
- Surprisingly strong damage
- Carries beginners hard
If you ignore this unit early, you’re making the game harder for yourself.
Slime Gunner
Another great starter option.
- Reliable damage
- Easy to use
Perfect for learning the game.
B Tier (Decent but Replace Later)
These units work, but you shouldn’t rely on them long-term.
- Builder
- Monkey
- Catalyst
They’re fine early on, but you’ll want upgrades quickly.
C Tier (Avoid These Units)
Let’s be honest, these are not worth investing in:
- Soldier
- Baseballer
- Demoman
- Recon
- Early Paintballer
They either lack damage or fall off too fast.
Noob Tower Defense isn’t about having every unit. It’s about having the right ones at the right time.
- Early game: Simple, reliable units
- Mid game: Mix damage + support
- Late game: Full meta units
If you focus on S tier units and ignore the weak ones, you’ll progress way faster without wasting resources.
And honestly, that’s the difference between struggling every run and actually enjoying the game.
