Survive The Night TD Towers Tier List

This Survive The Night TD towers tier list ranks placeable defenses for Roblox house survival. The only fail state is a broken door, so rankings weight door healing, income, and reliable DPS over highlight-reel kills. Use this with the Pets tier list, the towers database, and Tower Upgrades.

Ranking criteria

• Saves door HP directly (heal, stun, fast clear near the entrance).
• Funds more towers (Farm, Mining Cave, Money Printer).
• Scales with color tiers (red → blue → pink → diamond) during a match.
• Fits in four free loadout slots (5th Slot is 99 Robux).
• Works on Easy (1 door) and Hard (2 doors) without VIP, though VIP (399 Robux) comfort helps.

S tier — build these early

Medical Base — Heals the door. Non-negotiable once unlocked. On Hard, heal value doubles because two doors share pressure. Pair with manual repairs when HP dips.

Farm / Money Printer — Economy engines. Printers and farms turn early Coins into permanent board presence. Without income, you stall before Golden King or Thorn Warden.

Tesla — High-impact coin defense when fed properly. Excellent mid-to-late spike for both Easy and Hard lanes.

A tier — core clear tools

Mortar — Artillery AoE for clustered waves. Shine on choke points leading to the door.

Cannon — Solid direct fire; easy to slot beside Crossbow while learning.

Flamethrower — Lane denial and consistent chip; great when monsters path tightly.

Mining Cave — Alternate income / resource building that supports longer Easy clears and clan endless sessions.

B tier — situational starters & fillers

Crossbow — Your starter. Keep it upgraded until Lorenzo crates and shop progress replace a slot with higher A/S options. Never leave the slot empty “waiting for perfect.”

Situational hybrids (new crate unlocks after patches) start here until proven on Hard two-door layouts. Recheck after Evolutions & Crazy Mode.

C tier and below

Anything that burns Coins without touching door threat, income, or wave clear belongs here. Decorative placements and over-investing a single Crossbow to diamond while your door sits at level 1 is a common mistake — that pattern is C-tier decision making even with an A-tier tower.

Suggested loadouts

Easy first clear: Farm or Money Printer · Crossbow · Medical Base · Mortar/Cannon. Follow Easy Mode wave timing through Golden King for Easy Peasy!.

Hard unlock push: Money Printer · Medical Base · Tesla · Mortar. Practice splits from Hard Mode and Door Defense.

Clan endless: Dual income if possible · Medical Base · Tesla/Flamethrower. Badge targets: waves 100, 250, 500 on Clans and Solo.

Upgrade priority inside a match

1. Income to pink when the lane is stable.
2. Door levels + Medical Base tiers before vanity DPS.
3. AoE towers before single-target perfection.
4. Tesla when coin flow supports it.
5. Lobby-spend kept Coins after victory so the next match starts stronger.

Crates from Lorenzo unlock towers over time — if your tier list “S pick” is locked, substitute the next A-tier and keep the door alive. Codes on the Codes Hub accelerate Coin curves so you can afford S-tier placements sooner.

Meta notes for November 2026

Evolutions quests and Crazy Mode increase the value of heal + economy. Do not drop Medical Base for speculative DPS pets or experimental towers until you have cleared Hard once manually. Scripts that auto-upgrade towers are described on the Scripts Hub as features only — ban risk applies; this tier list assumes manual play.

Revisit this towers tier list whenever Duni&Minion balances coin costs or adds crate loot. Survive The Night TD rewards flexible boards that protect the door, not rigid meme loadouts.
