This is the list of the best builds for every unit in UTD (Universal Tower Defense). In the guide below, we explained what the best relics, traits, and stats are for each unit in Universal TD, build alternatives, and other important information to make your units as strong as possible.
All Universal Tower Defense Best Unit Builds
In the tables below, you’ll find the best builds (traits, relics with stats, and stat point distributions) for every unit in Universal Tower Defense, categorized by unit rarity. Note that we included only evo versions for units that have evolutions. Here are some notes regarding the best builds and why some stats are preferred:
- Best Traits: For most units that stack DoTs and have a low Cooldown, Astral will be the best trait. For most units with 1-2 maximum placements, the best trait will be Ruler. It all depends on what kind of unit it is, its maximum placement count, passives, etc.
- Best Stat Point Distributions: Since the percentage increase across stats is fairly equal, it’s often best to go with Cooldown, unless that unit needs some other stat, of course.
- Relic Stats: You get ~3.5x more Damage than Cooldown from relic’s main stats, making it a much better choice in 99% of cases. Only if the unit depends on some other stat will you not go with Damage.
