Universal Tower Defense is an anime-style tower defense game on Roblox where you deploy units from different anime universes to fight enemies.

The game focuses on strategy, smart unit placement, upgrades, and teamwork, rather than a deep cinematic story.

It features three different modes: Virtual Realm, Story Mode, and Challenge Mode.

Each mode has its own difficulty level and multiple stages to complete.

The game also includes anime units of various rarities, and each unit has unique powers and skills that make them useful in different situations.

In this article, we have shared the Universal Tower Defense Tier List, where you can see the tier ranking of all available units.
