Survive The Night TD Tower & Pet Tier Lists
Meta picks for door defense, economy, and pet loadouts in Survive The Night TD on Roblox.
Survive The Night TD is a Roblox house-defense tower defense game: you claim a house, spend Coins on towers and door levels, and fail only when the door HP hits zero. Ranking what to build and hatch therefore starts from door survival, not raw kill count. This Tier List Hub links our current rankings for towers and pets, with notes for Easy (one door, 15 waves, Golden King), Hard (two doors, Thorn Warden and Cursed Priest), and endless clan farming.
How we rank
- Door value: Does the pick reduce door damage (DPS, stun, heal) or fund repairs (Farm, Money Printer, Mining Cave)?
- Wave scaling: Color-tier upgrades (red → blue → pink → diamond) matter more on late Easy and all of Hard.
- Economy: Early income towers unlock Medical Base and Tesla sooner.
- Loadout fit: You have four loadout slots by default (fifth slot is a 99 Robux pass). Rankings assume free slots first, then VIP (399 Robux) for interior space and 2x speed as a luxury.
- Pet role: Pets come from Gem hatches in the lobby (Epic hatch ~50 Gems). Bird is a known Epic; Bear and Cannon pets exist. Pets complement towers rather than replace door healing.
Quick S-tier snapshot
Towers (general clear): Medical Base (door heal), Farm / Money Printer (economy), Tesla (strong coin defense), Mortar / Cannon (AoE), Flamethrower (lane pressure), Crossbow (reliable starter).
Pets: Prioritize Epic hatches when you have ~50+ Gems from codes or playtime. Bird is a standout Epic; Bear and Cannon pets are solid supporting options depending on your tower loadout.
Full breakdowns live on the child pages — use those before dumping all Coins into vanity placements.
Easy vs Hard vs clans
On Easy mode, one door and fifteen waves ending with Golden King reward the Easy Peasy! badge and unlock Hard. Economy towers plus Medical Base usually outrank glass-cannon spam. On Hard mode, two doors force split defense; bring heals and AoE, and expect bosses like Thorn Warden and Cursed Priest. Nightmare and Impossible come later. Clan endless runs chase badges at waves 100, 250, and 500 — sustain and auto-repair discipline matter more than flashy single-target DPS.
How to use this hub
- Read Towers tier list before locking a four-slot loadout.
- Read Pets tier list before spending Gems.
- Cross-check unit details on Players → Towers, Pets, and Bosses.
- Apply upgrades with Tower Upgrades and door focus via Door Defense.
Crates from Lorenzo unlock additional towers over time — tier placement assumes you eventually unlock the full shop, not only the starter Crossbow. Lobby upgrades spent with kept Coins permanently improve your account; in-match color tiers reset each run, so learn which towers deserve pink/diamond investment first.
Meta shifts when Evolutions and Crazy Mode land. Recheck this hub after reading the Updates pages so your loadout matches the live patch, not last month’s Easy clear.
After reading both child lists, rebuild one Easy clear and one Hard clear before trusting a meme loadout from chat. Recheck this hub when Updates ship Evolutions balance notes so S-tier still means door value.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about codes, towers, doors, pets, and modes.
Should I prioritize towers or pets first?
Towers and door levels clear Easy and Hard. Spend early Coins there. Use code Gems for Epic pet hatches once your loadout covers heal and income.
Is Crossbow still worth using?
Yes as a starter and filler slot. Upgrade its color tier while you unlock Cannon, Mortar, Tesla, and Medical Base from crates and shop progress.
Do VIP or the 5th Slot change the tier list?
They add comfort (interior space, 2x speed, tag, extra slot) but free four-slot rankings still apply. Extra slots favor another economy or heal tower.
Where is the full tower ranking?
Open the Towers tier list under this hub. Pets have a separate ranking page for Gem hatching priorities.
