Choosing the best pet in Pet Tower Defense is essential as it impacts your gameplay significantly, especially depending on your current stage in the game. Early on, for instance, a base version of the Electro Dragon can outperform a Golem until you unlock the King Trait for the Golem, which grants an extra placement—suddenly, the Golem becomes a powerhouse. Remember, you are rolling for all units; banners merely increase the likelihood of getting featured ones. Let’s dive into the units and identify the top pets in our Pet Tower Defense tier list.
All Pets in Pet Tower Defense Ranked
This tier ranking assumes you’re at Level 50 and considers both progression and tournament performance. Some pets are more effective for quicker progression as they cost less to deploy, while others excel in tournaments thanks to their long-term sustainability. The strongest units are primarily in S and A-Tiers, but you can read more about each unit below.
Disclaimer: Units from S to C Tier have distinct advantages for progression and tournaments. For example, while the Minigunner might have superior DPS compared to the Chicken in tournaments, the Chicken is a fantastic starter pet for newer players due to its boss-killing capabilities, so it ranks higher for beginners. D-Tier units, on the other hand, should be replaced quickly as they are underpowered.
I will be updating this as soon as the new secret unit is released.
