Pokémon TD Tier List

How to Create a Pokémon TD Tier List

Start with a clear goal for each run and each route. A Pokémon TD Tier List works best when goals stay fixed. Use the PokéPath TD Tier List maker to set a draft row. Place a few towers you trust on every map. Run quick tests and note where leaks start. Move each tower up or down based on those notes. Keep gold pace in mind with each swap. A fast tower can still fail if it slows your eco. Track three roles: carry damage, slow or stun, and support. Use the same path each test so results stay fair. Save each draft and compare the order after five runs. If two units feel even, check range and crit. Short lines favor burst, long loops favor slow. Stick with the list that feels stable under stress.

📊 Pokémon TD Tier List Base Power and Scaling

Base power shows how fast a tower clears early waves. Scaling shows how it grows with each evo. A high base lets you save gold with less risk. Strong scaling wins long runs with late bosses. Check Pow and Spd as a pair, not alone. A slow hit can still win if Pow is huge. Crit is small at first but swings long fights. Use Rng to see how often a tower hits. If a tower needs many levels to shine, keep it lower early.

🗺️ Map Layouts and Positioning

Map shape can raise or drop a tower fast. Long paths reward high range and slow. Tight bends reward burst and wide splash. If a lane splits, you may need two cheap towers. If a lane loops, one high range unit can cover more. Watch for tiles that block melee or short range. Put fast fire units near bends to keep hits on foes. Put slow near the spot your carry aims at most. A tier list should note map fit, not just raw stats.

⏱️ Early Game vs Late Game Value

Early value keeps you alive and builds your bank. Late value wins long boss fights when waves stack. Some towers feel weak early but spike after one evo. Others crush early waves but stall late. Rank them by the full run, not one wave. Use cheap picks to survive, then swap to scaling picks. Keep at least one safe early tower in S or A. That keeps your list useful for new runs.

🔄 Evolution Potential

Evo steps change a tower more than a small stat gain. A weak base can turn great after a fast evo. A strong base may stall if evo cost is too high. Note how soon you can evo on each route. If a tower needs rare drops, its value falls. Put towers with smooth evo paths higher. Put risky evo paths lower until you test them.

PokéPath TD Tier Rankings Explained

Tier ranks are a simple code for how often a tower wins. S is the safe pick for most maps. A is strong, yet needs a bit more care. B works well with the right team plan. C is niche or needs a map trick. D is for fun or hard mode. Use ranks to guide choices, not to lock them. Your list should shift as you test new routes. That is why the maker lets you move towers fast.

S Tier – Dominant Towers

S tier towers carry waves with little help. They win on short and long maps. They scale well and keep value late. You can build a team around one S pick. If you find two that pair well, keep both high. Do not stack only S picks if your eco fails. Pair one S carry with a slow or stun helper.

A Tier – Strong and Reliable

A tier towers are strong in most runs. They may lack one key stat or need support. They often beat S in a narrow map. A tier picks help you fill gaps with low risk. If your team already has a carry, A tier gives balance. You can also use A tier to smooth early waves.

B Tier – Situational Picks

B tier towers shine in a clear use case. They may need a good spot or a slow pair. Their cost can be high for the output. Use B tier when a map favors their trait. They are fine for budget teams that need a role fast. Keep a few B tier picks ready as swap tools.

C Tier – Limited Effectiveness

C tier towers work in niche play or fun runs. They can still win if you plan around them. Many C picks lack range or late value. Some need rare drops or strict map spots. Use them when you want a new test or a fresh plan. Keep them low until you see good results.

D Tier – Rarely Recommended

D tier towers are hard to justify in most runs. They often lack power, range, or late value. They can be fun but need heavy support. Use them for hard mode or style runs. Keep them out of core teams if you want a clean win.

Use Pokémon Stats to Build Better Tier Lists

Stats turn a tier list from guess work to proof. Use Pow, Spd, Rng, and Crit as a group. A high Pow with slow Spd can still be great. A low Pow with fast Spd can be safe early. Range decides how many tiles a tower can cover. Crit adds burst and helps with boss checks. Track these stats in one place so you spot trends. The maker helps you rank with real data, not just feel.

📊 Pokémon Data Spreadsheet

Use a simple sheet to log stats by name and evo. Keep Pow, Spd, Rng, and Crit in one row. Note drop cost and map notes in a side column. This makes quick sort and filter easy. You can also link the tower to its data page. If you need a quick source, use Wikipedia for basic lore, then add game stats from tests. A clean sheet helps your tier list stay fair.

🔍 Pokémon Detail Pages

Detail pages let you check traits without a long hunt. Use them to track evo steps and skill notes. When a tower feels odd in a run, open its page and check the range and crit. Keep a short note on its best spot. This keeps your list close to real play, not hype.

Share Your PokéPath Tier List

Sharing your list helps the meta grow. You will spot trends fast when others test your picks. Use the share buttons in the maker to post a quick shot. Ask for notes on map fit and lane spots. A short note on your rules helps others read your list. If you used a hard mode route, say so. If you used a speed run plan, say so. That keeps the chat useful and fair.

📸 Take a Screenshot

Take a clean shot once your rows look right. Crop the list so each tier is clear. Keep names easy to read and avoid blur. Post the shot with a short note on your goal. A small note like “boss rush” helps others rate it.

💬 Discuss Rankings

Ask others why they move a tower up or down. Use short clips or quick notes from real runs. Keep the talk about role and map fit. When a rank feels hot, test it again. This back and forth makes the list stronger.

🔄 Update Regularly

Meta shifts as routes and patches change. A small stat change can lift a tower fast. Review your list after a big patch or new route. Keep a log of changes so you can track why. Regular updates make your list feel alive.

What is PokéPath TD Tier List?

The PokéPath TD Tier List is a ranking guide for the full tower pool. It helps you pick the right unit for each map and game phase. The list is built from hands-on runs, data checks, and map tests. It is not a fixed truth, but it gives a clear base for smart play. Use it to pick a carry, then use role picks to keep your lanes safe. The list also saves time when you need a fast plan.

What We Offer

• Official Rankings: tier rows from real tests.
• Tier List Maker: a drag tool for your own list.

PokéPath Tier List Methodology & Criteria

A good list is built on repeat tests, not a one-off run. We check each tower on short and long routes and track how it handles boss waves. We note how fast it clears packs, how safe it feels, and how it scales. We also note the gold pace it needs so the list stays fair for new runs. That mix of test and data keeps the list honest.

How We Rank Pokemon in PokéPath TD

We test base form and evo form on each route set. A tower that wins early but fails late is placed lower. A tower that is weak early but spikes late is ranked for long runs. We also test how well a tower pairs with slow, stun, and gold roles. That balance keeps the ranking close to real play.

Key Factors Considered

Each tower is ranked with a short set of checks. We keep them clear so you can copy the logic and test on your own.

• Damage Output: steady DPS and burst on bosses.
• Range & Coverage: how many tiles it can hit.
• Cost Value: power for gold and evo cost.
• Upgrade Pace: how fast it spikes with evo.
• Synergy: slow + burst, stun + wave clear.

PokéPath Best Team Compositions by Route

Your team should change with each route set. Early routes need low cost towers that keep your gold safe. Mid routes need splash or slow to stop wave stacks. Late routes need one big carry with a strong helper. This section gives a quick plan for each phase.

• Early Game (Routes 1-3): one carry, one cheap slow, and a gold unit once safe.
• Mid Game (Routes 4-6): add splash and range to cover lane splits.
• Late Game (Routes 7-9): double down on the carry and add a boss helper.

PokéPath Meta Analysis & Tier Changes

The meta shifts when new routes or balance changes land. A small range buff can push a tower up a tier. A gold nerf can move a support tower down. Track these shifts so your list stays sharp and useful.

Current Meta Trends

The current meta favors one main carry with strong slow support. This keeps boss waves calm and saves gold for evo steps. Cheap stun and slow units are rising because they boost carry value. Range picks also gain value on long paths with loop lanes.

Underrated Pokemon Worth Trying

Some low tier picks still shine in the right setup. Persian can swing gold pace on long runs. Spinda can spike with odd crit luck. Lapras can lock down fast lanes when paired with burst. Test these picks in safe runs and move them up if they feel steady.

Top S-Tier Pokemon Detailed Breakdown

This section focuses on a single S pick to show why it sits at the top. Use the same format to check your own picks. Keep the notes short and use real runs to back them up.

S-TIER Charizard - The Flame Emperor

Charizard stays at the top due to strong burst and safe range. It clears waves fast and keeps pressure on bosses. The burn effect adds steady damage over time, which helps on long fights. Place it where the path loops so it keeps aim for more time.

• Best Placement: a wide bend or loop center.
• Key Ability: burn for steady boss damage.
• Synergy: pairs best with slow or stun.

Slow plus burn keeps boss waves calm and steady.
