Ultimate Garden Tower Defense Tier List [⏳]

Updated: We last updated the Garden Tower Defense tier list on June 18, 2025.

To beat the Insane difficulty stages in Garden Tower Defense, you will need a good strategy and the best units you can get your hands on. However, with so many units available, it can be challenging to choose which ones to bring with you. To help you out with this, we prepared the following Garden Tower Defense tier list.

Garden Tower Defense Tier List

In the above tier list, we ranked all Garden Tower Defense units based on how good they are at their intended roles. For example, you need to have at least one cheap unit to get you going in the early game before you can even afford to place a unit like Bloodvine. So, the best early, mid, and late-game units are placed at the top of the tier list. When ranking units, we took into consideration their Damage, Range, SPA (Attack cooldown), AoE damage potential, Cost efficiency, and the utility they provide.
