PokePath TD Tier List (Best Pokémon Ranked)
Welcome to the official community-maintained PokePath TD tier list. This page consolidates testing, patch analysis, and community feedback to rank Pokémon by usefulness, power ceiling, and versatility. Use this PokePath TD tier list to prioritize upgrades, plan team compositions, and quickly identify which units are meta-relevant for beginner, mid-game, and late-game play.
What is the PokePath TD tier list?
The PokePath TD tier list is an ordered evaluation of units based on how frequently they influence match outcomes across modes. Rather than purely ranking raw damage, this PokePath TD tier list weighs damage, survivability, utility, upgrade scaling, and synergy potential. The goal is to give players a practical ranking that informs both short-term decisions and long-term progression.
Tier list ranking criteria
Damage output
Damage output measures DPS, burst potential, and effective damage over time on real maps. Units that provide reliable, scalable damage earn higher marks on the PokePath TD tier list.
Utility and control
Utility includes debuffs, crowd control, healing, shielding, and repositioning. On many maps, utility outperforms raw damage — the PokePath TD tier list rewards such strategic value.
Cost and upgrade scaling
Upgrade cost and growth determine whether a unit still contributes in late-game scenarios. A low-cost unit that scales multiplicatively often outranks a high-cost unit with poor scaling on the PokePath TD tier list.
PokePath TD Overall Tier List
S Tier – Best Pokémon in PokePath TD
S Tier units are the top-level picks in this PokePath TD tier list: they combine survivability, utility, and damage in a way that consistently shapes matches. These picks should be prioritized in most builds unless you have a specific countering reason to avoid them.
A Tier – Strong but situational units
A Tier entries are powerful when used correctly. They often require synergies or particular map conditions to unlock their full potential, which is reflected in their placement on the PokePath TD tier list.
B Tier – Average performers
B Tier units are reliable and flexible, making them useful components for many team builds. The PokePath TD tier list places them here because they perform well but lack the ceiling or utility to push them into A or S Tier.
C Tier – Early game only units
C Tier units provide early-game value or niche utility. As you scale your roster and upgrades, these units typically become less central to strong comps and are lower on the PokePath TD tier list.
Best tier list for beginners
New players should use this PokePath TD tier list as a guide for early investment. Prioritize sturdy tanks and dependable DPS that require minimal micromanagement. Pair those picks with simple utility to stabilize early waves and accelerate upgrades.
Best tier list for late game
In late game, prioritize units with strong multiplicative upgrades and combo potential. The PokePath TD tier list’s late-game recommendations emphasize units that improve dramatically with investment, often reshaping how you approach endless mode or boss fights.
