Siliconera Thursday, March 19, 2026 9:00 AM Review: WiZmans World Re;Try Tries to Make Grinding Exciting       Us getting a localized version of WiZmans World about 16 years after its 2010 Japanese debut on the DS is wild. A part of me wants to suggest people grab it and try it to help show there's a demand for these sorts of releases and see what this snapshot of past JRPGs is like. Fortunately, WiZmans World Re;Try is mechanically interesting due to the Anima Fusion system, though it does get incredibly repetitive due to grinding to conquer dungeons.  In WiZmans World Re;Try, a whole town is kept captive. Everyone in Wizarest is dealing with memory loss and finds themselves trapped in a town surrounded by dungeons. Those who try to challenge those labyrinths face untimely ends. However, as the adventure begins, a witch named Giselle discovers a child in the forest. He's unable to speak, but she brings him to Archmage Adan and states she'll raise him. Years later, he's meeting with that same authority figure after Giselle's disappeared into one of the dungeons and is about to start his own journeys into the depths. When he does, he learns she succeeded in creating artificial lifeforms called homunculi, an objective she'd had for years, and joins forces with Aen, Doe, and Toori to conquer these trials and find out the truth about the world and the apparent collapse that is leading to the influx of monsters and dangers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlnCMvjk2ww In terms of gameplay, WiZmans World Re;Try is a rather typical turn-based JRPG. There will be Main Quests that come from the Archmage and involve going into each of the dungeons surrounding Wizarest. However, you can (and should) also take on Sub Quests from villagers that provide opportunities to grind levels and gain rewards. Fights are traditional affairs in which a timeline on the top of the screen shows the order in which allies and enemies will act and you can opt to attack, use a skill, guard, use an item, or escape on your turn. An auto function is present, which is handy given this is a very grindy game. Dungeons and towns feature an overhead perspective, and the character and monster sprites generally look fine. You can also see the enemies on the map, making it possible to avoid or seek out encounters. The unique element to WiZmans World Re;Try is the Anima Fusion system. When you defeat an enemy, you might get their soul as a reward. Going to your lab in town lets you fuse that with Aen, Doe, and Toori to change their in-battle appearance and abilities. I suppose I'd say it is similar to the fusion mechanics with demons and Personas in Atlus' Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series. You pick a homunculus, then select a soul. This then determines the boost in stats, Ex Attack, Skills, and appearance after they're combined. Once done, you see the Anima Status with up to two combined and the results. The final appearance ends up looking like a female humanoid version of the monster souls used in the process. There's a standard option, but it is possible to get manastones and other materials for more advanced ones involving catalysts that result in better final results. Images via Clear River Games The thing is that system is great and does encourage WiZmans World Re;Try dungeon diving, but also ties into the parts that get pretty tedious. This can be a grind-heavy game. Especially if you want Aen, Doe, and Toori to be at their best and capable of covering every elemental base when attacking due to a rock-paper-scissors sort of system. (Fire beats wind, wind beats earth, earth is better than water, and water will put out fire.) The fights themselves aren't all that enthralling. If you can get into a routine, maybe put on some music or a show and play in handheld mode, it's fine. But it doesn't really challenge you beyond knowing you probably need certain extra souls to be prepared for a boss or some stronger fusions, so you better grind a bit to prepare.   WiZmans World Re;Try isn't the most exciting JRPG, but it is great we finally get to experience it after about 16 years. The Anima Fusion system is interesting, and there's some pretty intricate spritework involved for some characters. The game is something of a grind though, so be prepared to work for your best combinations and to take down some bosses that appear in later dungeons. WiZmans World Re;Try is available on the Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the original game appeared on the DS.  The post Review: WiZmans World Re;Try Tries to Make Grinding Exciting appeared first on Siliconera.

Destructoid Thursday, March 19, 2026 8:18 AM Should you join Team Foundation or Team Ice King in Fortnite Chapter 7, season 2?       Chapter Seven, season two of Fortnite starts you off with a very difficult choice. Right away, you need to decide whether you want to join Team Foundation or Team Ice King, and whichever side you choose is the one you stick with all season. It's a big, permanent choice to make with little information available to you right away, so it's likely you'll be unsure which one to join. There are some key differences between the two, so here's whether you should join Team Foundation or Team Ice King in Fortnite. Table of contents Should you choose Team Foundation or Team Ice King in Fortnite Chapter 7, season 2? Is Team Foundation or Team Ice King better in Fortnite? Can you get both the Frost-Ready Foundation and the Exalted Frost Ice King Outfits in Fortnite? How to contribute points to Team Foundation and Team Ice King in Fortnite Should you choose Team Foundation or Team Ice King in Fortnite Chapter 7, season 2? Screenshot by Destructoid When prompted to choose between Team Foundation and Team Ice King, you should join whichever team you like the final bonus Outfit for better in Fortnite. This is the only real consequential difference between the two, and even this is a bit out of your hands. At the end of the season, whichever team has more points will unlock the bonus Outfit for their associated leader. This skin will be granted to all players, regardless of which team you're on, so even if you are on the losing side, you'll end up with the skin of the opposing team's leader. When making this decision, you should choose the style you like more between the Frost-Ready Foundation and the Exalted Frost Ice King looks. Both outfits can be viewed on the Showdown page when making this choice. These looks are white recolors for these characters. The tough part of this choice is that the winning look is ultimately going to be decided by the community at large, so it's only partially in your hands. You can do your best to contribute points to your team, but in the end, it's really going to depend on the overall point pool to decide which look is unlocked. Outside of playing a role in determining which look wins, the emote you send out when thanking the player who is driving the battle bus also looks different. If you're with The Foundation, it's his helmet, while Team Ice King members show off his hooded face. Beyond this, though, there are no other differences. Is Team Foundation or Team Ice King better in Fortnite? Screenshot by Destructoid Both Team Foundation and Team Ice King are equally good, and which one is better simply comes down to which bonus look you prefer. The Foundation and Ice King both have quite a few different looks available through the battle pass, so there's not one that deserves more styles more than the other, as they're on equal footing. If you play during the first week of this season, you do get one extra style for The Foundation. With this factor taken into consideration, you may consider leaning more toward the Ice King when choosing your team if you care about this. If The Foundation wins, he'll have one more style than the Ice King, whereas if the Ice King wins, they'll remain equal with the same number of looks to choose from. Can you get both the Frost-Ready Foundation and the Exalted Frost Ice King Outfits in Fortnite? Only one of the two bonus styles will be chosen between the two, so you cannot get both the Frost-Ready Foundation and the Exalted Frost Ice King Outfits. You will be rewarded with the look that belongs to the team that scores the most points at the end of the season. Whichever one isn't chosen will likely be scrapped or perhaps available as an item shop asset that costs V-Bucks in the future. How to contribute points to Team Foundation and Team Ice King in Fortnite This guide is a work in progress and is receiving live updates as we learn more about this choice.

Destructoid Thursday, March 19, 2026 7:48 AM How to power on a Holotable to help the Foundation in Fortnite Chapter 7, season 2       Fortnite Chapter 7, season 2, is headlined by the clash between the Foundation and the Ice King, and you can help the former by finding a Holotable to power it on. The Holotable is a special tool/item you can find in specific locations on the new map. There are four of them in different areas, and you need to find at least one of them. Let's look at all the available locations so that you can quickly power them on to complete a weekly objective. Table of contents All Holotable locations in Fortnite Chapter 7, season 2 How to turn on the Holotable in Fortnite Chapter 7, season 2 All Holotable locations in Fortnite Chapter 7, season 2 The Holotable can be found in an enclosed area at the locations highlighted on the image above. Screenshot by Destructoid At New Sanctuary in an isolated building. Near the lake at the Humble Hills location. To the west of the main building complex at Sandy Strip. Towards the south of Wonkeeland. You can drop off at any location you want. For example, I went to the one that's located at the Sandy Strip. The exact location doesn't matter as long as you have a fresh Holotable to interact with. How to turn on the Holotable in Fortnite Chapter 7, season 2 Once you drop to the location, head inside the room. For me, the Holotable was located at the bottom floor, which made it easier for me to access. Press the E button for a few seconds for the Holotable to be turned on. This will automatically complete the objective and reward you with 20,000 XP. You also get one step closer to finishing the complete set of weekly quests.

Destructoid Thursday, March 19, 2026 7:47 AM How to visit Zero Point Shards for The Foundation in Fortnite Chapter 7, season 2       The rivalry between The Foundation and the Ice King is officially underway in Fortnite, which also means you've got quite a collection of quests to work through to navigate this battle. One of the trickier ones you'll encounter asks you to visit Zero Point Shards for The Foundation. You're not given any information on what the Zero Point Shards look like, nor where to go searching for them. This is a crucial mission to check off early on, though, as it helps you get some valuable intel, so here's how to visit Zero Point Shards for The Foundation in Fortnite. Table of contents Zero Point Shard locations in Fortnite Visit Zero Point Shards for The Foundation in Fortnite Zero Point Shard locations in Fortnite Screenshot and remix by Destructoid There are three Zero Point Shards you need to find and visit for The Foundation in Chapter Seven, season two. Each one is situated at a unique spot around the island, so you'll have to do quite a bit of traveling to find them all. The three Zero Point Shards can be found at: Squibbly Shores Frigid Fortress New Sanctuary All three Zero Point Shard locations are surrounded by a subtle pink circle on the map, making them fairly easy to spot on it once you know what you're looking for. Each one is a massive silver and pink piece of a rock floating in the sky. The special powers emanating from each one cause the surrounding area to have a permanent zero gravity effect. Visit Zero Point Shards for The Foundation in Fortnite To complete the visit Zero Point Shards for The Foundation quest, you need to venture to all three of the Zero Point Shards. This means you must travel to Squibbly Shores, Frigid Fortress, and New Sanctuary to get it done. You can visit these spots across the course of a few matches, or do quite a lot of traveling in one to make your way to all three. How and when you choose to visit them doesn't matter as long as you eventually get to all three. While most other missions require you to visit specific spots and interact with items there, this one has no actual actions that need to be taken for it. Instead, all you need to do is simply visit each Zero Point Shard to get it done. Screenshot by Destructoid There's plenty more to get done around the island after checking off this quest. Next, you might want to learn how to drive the battle bus, check out all weapons and loot in Chapter Seven, season two, and get to work powering on a holotable for The Foundation.

Destructoid Thursday, March 19, 2026 6:51 AM All weapons and loot in Fortnite Chapter 7, season 2       The latest season of Fortnite has arrived, bringing with it an entirely refreshed loot pool packed with new items, plenty of unvaulted ones, and so much more. It can be tough to keep up with changes to the available weapons and other loot since the pool changes frequently. It's crucial to learn what's available to find around the island, as this will help you ensure you're able to get your hands on the best items available. Specific loot is also often required to check off key missions, so trying just about every item out at some point is essential. Here are all of the weapons and loot you can find around the island in Fortnite Chapter Seven, season two. Table of contents Fortnite Chapter 7, season 2 loot pool All new weapons and loot in Fortnite Chapter 7, season 2 All unvaulted weapons and loot in Fortnite Chapter 7, season 2 Fortnite Chapter 7, season 2 loot pool Screenshot by Destructoid The loot pool for Chapter Seven, season two, features a vast collection of new weapons and items fitting for the Showdown theme.

Vector 7 DMR – A high damage rifle with a scope and a slower firing rate than most, as it's designed for optimal precision from a ranged vantage point. Chaos Reloader Shotgun – A single-fire shotgun that dishes out serious damage up close. It only has one shell for reload, making it a high-risk, high-reward weapon where careful aiming is key. Bouncing Boomstick – A special variation of Dynamite that explodes each time it bounces, dealing devastating damage to those caught in its path. Overdrive Grenade – Can be thrown onto yourself or other players to provide a temporary boost to movement and reload speed, as well as increasing firing rate. Skyline Deployer – A portable zipline-like item you can eject at any point to automatically zip away to your targeted location. Any player can either use or break the zipline once it's up. Ice King's Gauntlets (Unlocked in the Showdown) – Drops from the Ice King at the Frigid Fortress POI. You can fire ice projectiles with the primary attack and unleash a devastating ice storm that deals lots of damage over time in the surrounding area. The Foundation's Rift Rifle, also known as the Exotic Vector 7 DMR (Unlocked in the Showdown) – Spawns a Rift you can use at the targeted spot. Seven Cluster Cannon (Unlocked in the Showdown) – Fires a collection of highly impactful explosive shots after an initial delay. Seven Power Gloves (Unlocked in the Showdown) – Special gauntlets that grant you advanced mobility while also unlocking some special combat moves through the primary ability, which is a dash punch, and the secondary ability, which is an uppercut. Slapperoni Pizza (Unlocked in the Showdown) – Toss a pizza on the ground that you and your allies can then dig into. Each slice you consume grants healing and provides the Slap effect. Screenshot by Destructoid All unvaulted weapons and loot in Fortnite Chapter 7, season 2 While there are loads of fresh tools you can find around the island, there are also lots of unvaulted ones, which means your favorite ones might be back. Here are all of the unvaulted weapons and loot items featured in Chapter Seven, season two.

Destructoid Thursday, March 19, 2026 6:23 AM How to drive the battle bus in Fortnite Chapter 7, season 2       The iconic battle bus that drives everyone to the island in each round has received a massive upgrade in Chapter Seven, season two. For the first time ever, you can be the one driving it, unlocking some sweet bonuses along the way. The battle bus is usually a passive vehicle you can't interact with beyond thanking the bus driver in each round, so this is a huge and fun change for it. If you're eager to test out this special feature for yourself, here's how to drive the battle bus in Fortnite. Table of contents How do you drive the battle bus in Fortnite? How to be chosen as the battle bus driver in Fortnite How to tip the bus driver in Fortnite How do you drive the battle bus in Fortnite? Screenshot by Destructoid In every match, one player will be selected to drive the battle bus. When you're chosen, you get to steer it across the island. Along the path, you'll find rings you can drive through. Each time you successfully cross through one, you earn XP for everyone in the round. Additionally, a Supply Crate will spawn at the coordinates of any ring you pass through. How to be chosen as the battle bus driver in Fortnite A random player is selected to be the bus driver in each round, so there's no way to guarantee you're chosen. It's entirely up to luck, so you just have to keep playing matches and hoping you're randomly selected. This feature might only be around for season two, so if you want to ensure you get the chance to test it out, it's a good idea to play as often as you can. There's no other way you can boost your odds of being selected beyond simply playing a lot and hoping luck is on your side this season. How to tip the bus driver in Fortnite Screenshot by Destructoid Even if you're not chosen to drive the battle bus, you can still interact with it in a new way. To show your appreciation for the selected player, you can tip them, which shows off the emoji of your chosen Showdown team. Additionally, this also scores some more XP for them. Now that you know how to land yourself behind the wheel so you can steer the entire lobby to the island, you can move on to tackling other key tasks in Fortnite.

Destructoid Thursday, March 19, 2026 6:09 AM How to get the Grimclaw Tigrex early in Monster Hunter Stories 3 – Invasive Diablos guide       The Grimclaw Tigrex is a powerful mutation available in Monster Hunter Stories 3, and you can obtain it pretty early if you manage to repel the Invasive Diablos. Located at Tarkuan, it will take you several hours to unlock the location first. Once done, you can then work towards obtaining the mutation. The key is to first obtain the Tigrex by hatching it from its egg. Let's look at how to obtain the egg first. Table of contents How to beat the Invasive Diablos in Monster Hunter Stories 3 How to unlock Grimclaw Tigrex in Monster Hunter Stories 3 How to beat the Invasive Diablos in Monster Hunter Stories 3 Image via Gmtreks. Remix by Destructoid The Invasive Diablos can be found in the southern part of the Tarkuan region (marked by "7" on the image above). If you approach from the east, get down on the ground from the cliffs, and head towards the southeast direction. You'll come across an opening that leads you to a ravine. Reach the end, climb up the wall, and you'll encounter the Diablos. So how do you make it retreat? Ideally, you'll need a Hammer with the Spinning Meteor skill. Then, wait for the Diablos to enter its Invastive state. It will dive into the ground, leaving behind three holes. The Diablos will aim to come out of any of these holes and try to attack you. However, there will be an animation where a few small rocks will pop up from the correct hole. Image via Capcom When the rocks pop up, press the attack button, and you'll intercept the Diablos as it tries to attack you. If you mistime the attack or entirely choose the wrong hole, the Diablos will spring from another opening to complete its attack. If you manage to intercept the attack with the Spinning Meteor skill, you'll make it retreat. This will lead you to the endangered Tigrex den. How to unlock Grimclaw Tigrex in Monster Hunter Stories 3 To unlock the Grimclaw Tigrex mutation, you need to meet two requirements. Get the Tigrex or Brutie Tigrex's Ecosystem Rank to S. Resides in habitats containing 4 or more Power-type monsters Image via Capcom The ideal location to meet both requirements is the Colossal Dragon's Remains. The place already has the likes of Almudron, who is a native of the place. Once you release the Tigrex and Brute Tigrex, you'll add two more Power-type to the habitat. You'll unlock the Grimclaw variant as soon as there are four Power-type monsties at the location. Then, search random dens, and you should be able to find a Grimclaw Tigrex egg to hatch your first.

Destructoid Thursday, March 19, 2026 3:35 AM Universal Tower Defense Tier List [UPD 1.5 Ragnarok]       Updated on March 19, 2026: Added all Records of Ragnarok units and overhauled the entire tier list according to the new Meta. The best units in Universal Tower Defense depend on five categories which are Hybrid, Hill, Ground, Support and Farm. I'll show you the best ones for all roles as well as talk about the best game modes, traits and relics for all units. Here's my Universal Tower Defense tier list and guide. Table of contents Universal Tower Defense Unit Tier List S-Tier Hybrids A-Tier Hybrids B-Tier Hybrids S-Tier Ground A-Tier Ground B-Tier Ground S-Tier Hill/Air A-Tier Hill/Air B-Tier Hill/Air S-Tier Support A-Tier Support B-Tier Support Farm Universal Tower Defense Relics List Universal Tower Defense FAQ Universal Tower Defense Unit Tier List Image by Destructoid This is just a preview of the Universal Tower Defense tier list but the real ranking reasons are below. I'll go into each individual unit and talk about why it's ranked where it is, as well as the best game modes for it and specific traits. Note that I won't go much into ranking for progression since any unit can be good to progress with if you upgrade and Etherealize it with some Relics equipped. I'll focus more on Nightmare, Infinite, Challenges, Virtual Realm, etc. As for the tier breakdowns, consider the S-Tier as the META tier with the A-Tier being great alternatives and the B-Tier being weaker options. Zeus Tip (For Adam): To beat Zeus place units on the red highlighted pillars to destroy them and cancel his regeneration when he goes up (this makes him come back down). You can also burst him down before he regenerates. Stat & Evo Assumptions: I'll assume you're feeding and upgrading the units with good stat rolls from the Traits NPC. I'll also assume the EVO versions of units if they have an EVO. You can assume the non-EVO versions are a tier below in the same categories. For example, the base Admiral is still a good support but instead of a Hybrid he's a good Ground unit. Best Traits: I'll list the best traits for each unit below. Farming Tips: Check out the FAQ below for the best farming tips for Gems, Trait Rerolls and more. S-Tier Hybrids S-Tier Hybrid Rankings Explained Migumen (Finale) NY Capsule Exclusive • She's now Meta with the new update • Great DPS overall but her Nuke on max deals massive damage, especially on E6 • Apart from the Nuke she's a great Burn DoT damage unit • This is because in addition to the Burn DoT she's also excellent against armor due to True Damage and Radiation • Extremelly flexibile unit when you play around her active • Best Trait: Ruler or Sacred Phantom Captain (Carrier) Secret • Massive DPS summoner unit that summons both attack planes on her location and line planes that explode on contact • The line planes deal excellent supporting AOE burst damage while her personal planes deal sustained DPS AOE damage • She also buffs her planes for +30% crit rate and +50% crit damage during the first 10 seconds of their duration for a ton of DPS • Overall a strong contender for one of the best Hybrid DPS units • Best Trait: Ruler Jinoo (Monarch) Banner Secret • Top 3 DPS unit with shadows dealing massive damage with the scaling buff • Best unit for Infinite due to the massive scaling and decent on VR • Note that he's not the best for faster game modes since he takes a while to scale up • That said, he got a massive buff on December 20 giving his passive to the unevolved version and pumping his mana gain and damage • Best Trait: Ruler or Eternal Berserker (Enraged) Mythic • Much better now in the new update with the fix • Top 5 DPS unit in the game overall and arguably one of the best Hybrids due to game mode flexibility, CC and hyper armor damage • Fast ramp-up value • Obliterates armored enemies, slows and increase all damage taken on enemies • Second-best unit for VR after Kriatu EVO • Decent on Infinite but not the best • Best Trait: Ruler or Sacred Bio-Android (Perfect) Secret • Very slow to get going but gets powerful if you have time to evolve him (Gets Hybrid) so he's better in Infinite • Evolves by beating mini-bosses he spawns and E2 is really good since it reduces the HP of those bosses • You need to reach Perfect state for him to be good (Hybrid+Max Upgrade) though Semi-Perfect does have Confusion which is decent support • Most of the prime DPS comes from high base damage, Sub-Unit summons and the 5% on-hit Line AOE follow up • That said, the active nuke does stun in an AOE which is really strong for bosses and is on a 90s global cooldown • Overall, really slow to get going but is Meta DPS and utility on final evolution A-Tier Hybrids A-Tier Hybrid Rankings Explained Rohan & Robot 16 (Limit Breaker) Mythic • A ton of passives here but to summarize it's a weak unit at start slowly increasing damage up to Wave 10 • That said you have Red Combo and A-16 which boost your damage with follow up attacks, low SPA, stuns and stun immunity • Then it's all about the two actives where the first is available once you stack up Rage and is an AOE Nuke (It take away A-16 damage boosts) • It also puts you into Mode 2 with maxed-out stats and a Line AOE active that deals massive damage and resets your Rage • Overall, despite high DPS in the end, it's a lot of work and really slow to get going similar to Bio-Android which might not be good in most modes • This is a powerful alternative Hybrid Koyote (Number One) Mythic • A Hybrid-on-upgrade DPS machine that spams wolf summons on takedown dealing sustained DPS and charging energy (Especially on E4) • Also has a massive damage burst Nuke that fires on max energy doing 500% damage • Koyote isn't the best hybrid DPS but he's good for any mode • Best Trait: Ruler for main DPS or Sacred/Eternal for secondary DPS Ichiko (Rage) Secret • Ichiko is good, don't get me wrong, but he's just raw DPS with not a lot of utility past the 5-second active stun that's on a 90s cooldown • Requires a specific build around crit chance and damage to maximize his passive damage and overall DPS (Go full damage on substats) • Still one of the better units in the game, just slightly weaker than the ones above • Best Trait: Ruler or Sacred Dragon Guy (Silverite) Challenges Secret • Got massive buffs to Twin Dragon Hunting Flash, Shatter and Are You Scared helping him in faster modes • He's not a Meta DPS but he is Meta if you consider him a Hybrid DPS Support mix since he can CC enemies • Great on Virtual Realm and Infinite but takes a while to activate his Trance (This is not as much of a problem anymore due to buffs) • He's best with units that can apply Freeze since his Shatter deals burst damage on frozen targets • He can also self-cleanse stuns which is really good for Infinite • Best Trait: Ruler or Eternal Scarlet Maid (World) Get from Virtual Shop • Similar to Dragon Guy where she's a hybrid DPS and Support that can now be viable with the December 20 buffs to her skill damage and The World ability • Stuns enemies, has Slows and deals great DPS with Time Gauge stacks which trigger various high damage attacks • The only downside is that her CC needs to be activated by attacking and is not on every attack like other CC units • Great on Infinite • That said, she's best when you have E6 since the CC lasts for a long time • Best Trait: Ruler or Sacred B-Tier Hybrids Weaker Hybrid Rankings Explained Ice Empress (Forst) Winter Capsule Exclusive • An amazing Meta Support, see why below in the Support section. • B-Tier only in terms of Hybrid DPS Mob (100%) Mythic • Overall a great slowing unit and an always useful Hybrid that got a slight damage buff which adds up fast • Really good for VR and Infinite as a supporting slowing option with Eternal and decent with Ruler as a DPS but I would stick to it as a support/DPS mix • Best Trait: Ruler or Eternal Bambee (Blitz) NY Capsule Exclusive • Deals okay damage but her main strength is flexibility since she applies status effects based on your team's most used element • These status effects are also better with Bambee since they last longer • I recommend building your team around Ice since due to Ice Empress, Koyote and Jangluu being some of the best units in the game Water: Slow Wind: Wind Shear Rose: Bleed Dark: Stun Fire: Burn Light: Radiation Ice: Freeze S-Tier Ground S-Tier Ground Rankings Explained Underworld God (Death) Banner Mythic • Both the Evo and Syncro (Fuse with Water God) versions of Hades are META Ground Circle AOE DPSs • With just 2 placements it's incredibly worth to go Ruler for massive damage • He just stacks DoTs which deal a lot of damage, buff him further and eventually stun and slow • Plus he negates debuffs and shreds armored enemies with extra damage attacks • Crazy high power creep over previous Ground DPS units • Best Trait: Ruler Water God (Primordial) Step-up banner Secret • Both a Meta DPS unit by himself and SSS-Tier combo with Underworld God for the Syncro unit • Deals great DoT damage with Affliction Time and self-boosting CRIT • Also scales incredibly well to deal twin attacks eventually • As a cherry on top has access for a full path damage burst with Wave on a 60s cooldown • Best Trait: Eternal First Human (Father) Featured Challenge Secret • One of the most flexibile Ground units in the game with his follow-up attack elemental mechanic • Basically you can customize Adam's attacks by choosing which elemental unit to place near him and have him do follow up attacks • Each element has a different effect from high DPS to debuff support to even Hybrid mode (Light) • Best Trait: Ruler A-Tier Ground A-Tier Ground Rankings Explained Fallen Prince (Ruthless) Mythic • Also a ramp-up unit like Roku and Rohan but unlike them he's not slow since he gets no damage debuff • He just keeps buffing himself up each wave and kill with damage, crit chance, range and attack speed until he goes Super Saiyan • Once you reach max cap with his crit chance buff (0.25% per kill up to 30%) he goes SS with Hyper Armor Damage and guaranteed crits after a few kills • Overall a very strong Ground unit that's good for any mode and isn't that slow like some Cell Update units Robot 17 & 18 (Fighterz) Mythic • A high-tier Ground unit that's better than Roku and Rohan because even though they scale damage with waves they don't start with a damage debuff • They deal great Circle AOE DPS with massive range and you can switch between them for 3 seconds of Disruption or Confusion per switch which is great utility • As a cherry on top they're also immune to stuns and have an active Nuke on final upgrade for decent damage • Overall a great Ground unit with good DPS and some support potential Kriatu (Cheater) Mythic • The best unit for VR • Deals increasingly more damage as he crits • Get the Duelist trait on him ASAP so that he can crit more and therefore ramp up damage faster • He can only gain more crit from Traits • Got a huge buff on ability damage making him even better • Best Trait: Duelist B-Tier Ground B-Tier Ground Rankings Explained The Drink (Survivor) Mythic • A simple and decent Full AOE contender for your Ground slot that deals impressive DPS thanks to various self buffs • Also does Burn damage on Upgrade 6 • Overall not a lot of utility here, just pure DPS so it's not a must-have but it's nice to have Sasku (Chakra) Mythic • Overall great on any mode with excellent DoT damage, utility and overall DPS (Especially with the buffs on Arrow and Kirin) • The utility mainly comes from the passive which has some hybrid potential • Also has decent CC for pseudo-supporting • Excellent for grinding Story since he's easy to get and EVO • You can either run him as your main DPS with Ruler or off-DPS with Wizard for DoTs • Best Trait: Wizard or Ruler Grommjow (Panther) Exclusive • Deals decent AOE DPS and works similarly to Koyote where you're collecting meter but instead of a nuke, Grommjow transforms on full meter • The transformation boosts both single-target DPS and AOE damage due to the explosion per enemy • Great against armor • Best Trait: Ruler or Eternal Ronin Obito/Rogue Oni Exclusive Day 7 Daily Reward • The best on Story mode since you can get him for free Day 7 and grind story • Impressive DoT damage but not as much utility as other DoT units like Sasuke, Ace and Admiral • Will be much stronger if they gave him an EVO like Rule • Best Trait: Wizard Footballer (Ego) Exclusive BattlePass Reward Level 25 • Decent DPS with the self-buff and mini damage buff on ally but doesn't combo with anything nor excel in anything • Great for Story since you can get it fast for free via BattlePass • Overall a decent DPS option if you don't have anything else • Best Trait: Ruler or Sacred S-Tier Hill/Air S-Tier Air Rankings Explained Lord of Flies (Tempered) Banner Mythic • An overall Meta unit since he deals high burst damage with his Resonance Stacks and can grant stun immunity • Then he can massively buff himself for each unit he gives stun immunity to • You can also choose to nuke enemies in a Full AOE and quickly stack up Resonance every 300 seconds • A must-have unit for stun immunity IMO Jangluu (Eclipse) Winter Capsule Exclusive • Deals a ton of damage on Frozen enemies even though she doesn't stun on Freeze • Best combined with units that can freeze like Ice Empress since she also buffs Ice units • Requires a specific team setup but can potentially be one of the best units in the game due to the Icy Flux nuke on Frozen enemies • Best Trait: Ruler or Eternal A-Tier Hill/Air S-Tier Air Rankings Explained Sharpshooter (Precision) Mythic • Massive range with decent DPS and a decent amount of off-supporting capabilities (Place her in the back so she's in Sniper mode) • Can hit enemies across the entire map in Sniper mode with a neat little damage bonus • The grenades offer some AOE support damage • She can also mark enemies with her active to take more damage from all sources and buffs Fire unit damage placed near her • Overall the best Hill alternative if you don't have Jangluu or Lord of Flies • Best Trait: Pick the highest damage trait or Ruler since she doesn't need extra range from Traits because Sniper mode has infinite range Spade (Donut) Mythic • The best Air/Hill DPS unit and one of the best units in the game overall due to the passive on-shield damage • Amazing for progressing story/legend stage since you can get it fast and you need a good Air ASAP • Otherwise great for VR and Infinite as your Hill slot with Ruler as a main DPS or Astral as a secondary DPS • Best trait is Astral since Spade is the best Burn DOT unit in the game right now • Best Trait: Astral or Ruler Super Roku (Enraged) Mythic • Roku has access to amazing tech where you can teleport him to different choke points within range to prolong his DPS or beat placement boss mechanics like Zeus • That said he's slow like Rohan & Robot 16 starting out with a massive damage debuff that goes away after a few waves but it's not worth it IMO • Once the debuff is gone he can deal pretty decent DPS with his passive buffs but it might be too late at this point since he's just a Hill unit • Would be better if he was Hybrid so as things stand he's a low-tier Hill unit B-Tier Hill/Air B-Tier Air Rankings Explained Ultiorra (Oblivion) Mythic • Similar to Tierabel in that Ultiorra deals decent DPS and also has supporting abilities from Unpredictable Despair where he can Confuse or Stun enemies • You also get an active Nuke that deals massive damage on a 45s cooldown which is pretty good for clearing important waves • That said overall not the best DPS for Hill • Best Trait: Ruler or Eternal Tierabel (Hydro) Mythic • Mid-damage with some support potential • Becomes stronger in her mode • Note that it isn't that worth it running Nell just for the combo on the first passive since it's not that much • Overall is kind of like Mob where it's decent DPS and decent Support but not the best at either • Best Trait: Eternal Cyborg (Fearless) Mythic • The weakest Air/Hill unit but can still hold his own due to the December 20 buffs • The main reason he's much better now is that his Nuke got a massive buff for targeted damage and is on a much lower CD • Decent DoT and he's a must-have if you don't have Spade or other Hill units to hit fliers • Best Trait: Wizard or Ruler S-Tier Support S-Tier Support Rankings Explained First Emperor (Greatest) Ragnarok Infinite Gamemode Secret Must get to Wave 20 for runs to count toward Pity Pity is 100 EVO Items can be farmed through the Trials Tab In Quests • First Emperor is an overall Meta unit but I decided to put him in the Support category for lots of reasons • He slows, confuses enemies, reflects stuns, gives all your units follow up attacks, etc. • He's a powerhouse support unit that also deals a ton of damage itself • Might be one of the best units in Universal Tower Defense overall • That said you must rush max upgrade so that you can switch Demon Arts for maximum flexibility Enlightened God (Holy) Banner Mythic • An AOE buffing DPS support hybrid that progressively buffs your units more and more • Similar to First Emperor in that you're extremely flexibile with your weapon switching choices (Switch at Max Emotion stacks) •  You can deal massive enemy HP-scaling damage with the Axe or high DoT damage with synegies with Cycle of Wrath • Alternatively, you can switch to the Shield and reflect debuffs into buffs for your other units • Incredibly strong DPS/Support unit • Best Trait: Eternal Ice Empress (Forst) Winter Capsule Exclusive • A mix of impressive DPS and execution as well as top-tier stalling support and even a bit of buffs • She has a ton of passives but the main ones are freezes and slows for amazing stalling for your other DPS units • Summons units which is really strong but requires 50 kills on her meter so she's best for extended game modes and not quick farming • Combos well with other Frost units which she buffs for 20% like Koyote or Jangluu • Overall a powerhouse DPS and Support hybrid • Best Trait: Ruler Admiral (Magma) Legendary EVO • The best budget unit in the game since you get it easily as a Legendary and it stays strong in the late-game via EVO • Easily one of the best Fire units in the game • Admiral is good for two reasons, he deals impressive DOT damage but also acts as a support with Confusion • Confusion makes enemies walk back which is amazing stalling for your main DPS units • Best Trait: Wizard or Fission Miku (Super Star) Mythic • Buffs all units around her with either increased Damage or Range • Etherealize up to 6 is key here to increase the buffs • The best buffer in the entire game and she becomes worth it after you place some units already so don't use her as a starter or second unit • Amazing for Infinite • Best Trait: Artificer A-Tier Support A-Tier Support Rankings Explained Tai Yang Reward from New Event • A manually aimable unit where you stack burns for great DPS and then at 20 burn ticks confuse and stun them • It's fun to play and you also get a free placement when you place Fire units (Once per game) • Not the most OP unit but I highly recommend trying him with another strong Fire unit Shunks (Conqueror) Mythic • You get both damage and stuns all in one unit making Shunks one of the best units in the game • Definitely worth to EVO • Meta support DPS for all game modes due to stuns • Best Trait: Ruler or Sacred Love Goddess Valentines Capsules in Events Tab • Love Goddess is all about upgrade discounts and massively buffing a single unit with Crit • Great in VR with Kirito or you can run her with some single-unit-focused comps with S-Tier units • That said I prefer Miku for AOE buffs or Enlightened God/First Emperor for much higher flexibility Lulu Quest Secret Check out how to unlock him> • Our Lulu/Lelouch Quest Guide will show you how to unlock this unit • Lulu is a great support unit when he works that doesn't attack but instead issues orders based on his cooldown • He can stall units a lot which helps your main DPS units get in more damage • He can also stun enemy units • That said, there's also some great damage here with the Beam order (Which got buffed) • Great for all game modes and is overall one of the best supports • Laughing Captain Relic set bonus is great on him for reduced active cooldowns • Best Trait: Ruler or Sacred Bambee (Blitz) NY Capsule Exclusive • Deals okay damage but her main strength is flexibility since she applies status effects based on your team's most used element • These status effects are also better with Bambee since they last longer • I recommend building your team around Ice since due to Ice Empress, Koyote and Jangluu being some of the best units in the game Water: Slow Wind: Wind Shear Rose: Bleed Dark: Stun Fire: Burn Light: Radiation Ice: Freeze B-Tier Support B-Tier Support Rankings Explained Tierabel (Hydro) Mythic • Same as her Hill entry but with a focus on her slowing and supporting capabilities which are decent but not the best • Best Trait: Eternal Ja'frey (Lightning Assassin) Battle Pass Level 25 Exclusive • Ja'frey is a great alternative for your CC support slot because he's an on-attack Stun-based unit with decent DPS • The stuns go up to 1.5 seconds on E4 which is really strong for any mode • Plus he's not that hard to get Scarlet Maid (World) Get from Virtual Shop • A hybrid DPS and Support that can now be viable with the December 20 buffs to her skill damage and The World ability • Stuns enemies, has Slows and deals great DPS with Time Gauge stacks which trigger various high damage attacks • The only downside is that her CC needs to be activated by attacking and is not on every attack like other CC units • Great on Infinite • That said, for Support purposes she's lower on the list since she's best when you have E6 for a massive duration boost which can be slow to grind • Best Trait: Ruler or Sacred Rule (ROOM) Exclusive BattlePass Reward Level 50 • Incredibly versatile support that stuns and teleports enemy units • Great on all modes but especially on Virtual Realm • Best Trait: Ruler or Eternal Mob (100%) Mythic • Overall a great slowing unit and an always useful Hybrid that got a slight damage buff which adds up fast • Really good for VR and Infinite as a supporting slowing option with Eternal and decent with Ruler as a DPS but I would stick to it as a support/DPS mix • Best Trait: Ruler or Eternal Judas (Darkness) Battle Pass Level 50 Exclusive • Low SPA but deals decent DPS, slows and has a ton of utility with his active • He's a sub DPS unit with supporting options that are quite good and while he's not a must-have support he's still pretty good • His active is a crazy good support tool with a ton of flexibility on what statuses you can apply from slows to confusion Nelle (Primal) Mythic • A weird DPS unit that revets between baby and adult form granting various buffs that ultimately produce sub-optimal damage • That said has some decent supporting abilities with Ichiko and Tierabel which are both really good units • That said, I wouldn't run Nellee unless you really like her from Bleach Shakumira EVO Legendary EVO • A low DPS unit but offers great support potential with a stalling ability • Not the best unit to EVO for all modes but pretty great on Infinite, especially with the cooldown buff on the CC • Best Trait: Artificer Zora Legendary • Great beginner unit and overall a decent support with the CC effect • Scarlet Maid is a better unit and DPS but Zora's CC is more reliable for supporting • Best Trait: Artificer Farm Farm Rankings Explained Bulmo Legendary • A better version of Fastcart • Best Trait: Fortune Fastcart Epic • Get the Fortunate trait on him ASAP • Good for all modes • Best Trait: Fortune Universal Tower Defense Relics List Below you'll

To beat Zeus you have to destroy the pillars when he flies up. Follow the warnings and as the red highlighted pillars spawn on the map when he leaves to regenerate, place units to destroy the pillars. This cancels his regeneration and makes him come back down. Alternatively you can nuke him down with high damage before he starts regenerating. How to open Portals in the Cell update in Universal Tower Defense? You can open Portals with the Perfect Arena Key dropped in the Dragon Ball Legend stages. You must complete each Portal tier in order to be able to get the Perfect Arena Key for the next portal tier (T2>T3 25% drop chance/T3>T4 10% to keep T4 50%).
