Skills ranked by job
Flat damage tiers mislead because the best skill changes every wave. Community tier videos rank Flame Strike high for campaign versatility, Focused Laser for bosses, Ice Stalactites for freeze utility, and Meteor-style skills for density.
Low tiers include weak pulse tower synergies and chicken summon lines that die too fast in boss phases. Full picking logic is in the best skills guide.
Situational beats static tiers
EMP and freeze climb to S-tier when waves are fast. Area skills climb when enemies group. Defensive shields climb when base chip damage kills runs. Read the wave before tapping.
Pair picks with heroes from the hero tier list and towers from the tower defense guide.
