Best Team Build Guide
Optimal team compositions for Universal Tower Defense. From the ultimate meta team to budget alternatives.
Team Building Principles
Economy First
Always include Speed Cart. No money = no upgrades = you lose.
Buff Coverage
Virtual Idol must be positioned to reach all DPS units.
Debuff Stacking
Kenpachi (+15%) + Scarlet Maid (+40%) = enemies melt.
Hybrid > Ground
Flyers appear in later stages. Hybrid units handle both.
Focus Investment
Max one carry before spreading resources thin.
Ultimate Meta Team
The most balanced and versatile team recommended by top players. Works for Story, Featured Challenge, and Virtual Realm.
Speed Cart (Fast Cart)
REQUIREDEconomyThe only money unit in the game. Without it, you cannot upgrade your DPS. Place first, upgrade immediately.
Sun Jin Wu
COREMain DPSGame's #1 unit. Summons deal insane damage and can solo clear Frostbite Dragon Shield. Hybrid with high range.
Kenpachi (Berserker)
COREDebuffer / Sub-DPSGame's #2 unit. Vulnerability debuff (+15% damage taken), Slow, Hyper Armor damage. Full AoE Hybrid.
Virtual Idol (Miku)
COREBufferBest buffer in game. Gives free upgrades to nearby units. Position where she can reach all your DPS.
Ace (Spade)
