NOTE: If anyone is wondering why I didn't put shotgunner on this list, it's because I already did it in my last ranking and nothing changed with it, while the other towers got buffs/nerfs/reworks! And the normal versions of the golden towers are this: Normal cowboy S or S+ ; Soldier C to D tier, scout F to D tier ; crook boss B to B+ tier! Also remember its MY opinion so don't hate!
@@nikoblox16 :DD im grinding for a golden crate now, however i got brawler so is not that hard, only problem is that i forgot they removed hd on it so i just lost to hiddens
This tierlist is for the early game towers you usually have in mid-late game, since for new players all your towers are early game. Plus i did shotgunner in my other ranking video a few months ago.
cowboy should not be in the same tier as golden cowboy? also golden scout has better base value compared to golden soldier, if we are talking about stalling for early waves it outclasses the gladiator hugely, and also has better cost efficiency than basically everything here except brawler, and about brawler, why is it only s? one brawler can stall like 3 fallen waves by itself and golden crook-boss is a mid-late game tower since it can't even be placed on the first wave. the ace pilot should be around A-S since its basically a necessity in a lot of event game modes as well as hardcore. golden soldier should also be s+, its literally known to be able to solo pretty much everything, it has great cost efficiency, hidden detection, and is really cheap.
I don't have golden cowboy but normal cowboy is still s+ tier and golden cowboy is also very good so it also gets s+ tier. Brawler has very short range and its pretty expensive so it isn't perfect! golden crook boss does great in the early game especially with the bodyguards, its not a mid-late game tower its more of a early-mid game and maybe a little end game. Ace pilot struggles to kill tankier enemies and isn't always going to attack. It's outclassed by every other tower on this list. I kind of agree with you on the golden soldier one, it should've been higher!
@@nikoblox16 I think the main issue I have is that you aren't really considering the different game modes, like some game modes have a lot of swarms, while others have few very tanky enemies, obviously things like crookboss outclasses ace pilot at single target dps, but ace pilot has great coverage on flying, and lead on early levels, and since it attacks everything evenly instead of focusing on one, it is a really good crowd control tower, like the example I gave of hardcore, towers like cowboy won't really be useful in hardcore, and isn't as optimized as ace due to the extremely cheap cost and good coverage
@@Twitching_Stars im talking about fallen mode & molten mode since they are the most played. Every other gamemode has their own early game towers that are good and if i include all gamemodes it will be extremely complicated and i dont have time to edit a video that complicated.
@@nikoblox16 If your playing fallen mode it is. You'd rather choose a starter then can see hiddens/and flying in using just few more cash, it was part of my starter before it was nerfed.
How the ace pilot being one of the best towers in the entire game is is bad and you just said he cant kill the strongesr ones? Literally qce pilos figure 8 can destroy almost all the enemies of the game, with good farming he do a amazing early and the pasive is super useful for towers withou hidden deteccion +p plus used in alot of strats for being extremely cost effective and spawn killers
@@totallyadudebro still good literally that last "nerf" was a rebalamce because they reduced the cost too so for example you can get level 3 for the first squiddle alot more easyer and you can get the level 4 to start shredding enemies alot earlyer and max level cost alot less so that means you can get your aces figure 8 in straight line alot faster
@@totallyadude and still working the same for all the strats who used it like lucille one just admit it the people who think ace is bad have big skill issue using ace
It's just outclassed... And really only stands out on hardcore to deal with the hidden boss. And you'd still only need it for the hidden detection buff
@@aboclab6524 bro literally in hardcore ace is the main mid,early and most of the late game defence like the electro,help with that boss and after than literally two players put planes figure 8 to shred the enemies even the molten boss and grave digger leave of the ace zone with more than 50% of their hp drained, ace still insane
crook boss is literally in the list. If you're talking about the normal one, it's between B to B+ tier! Cowboy makes a good amount of money, and also does pretty good damage so it deserves it's spot.
You and the content creator overrated Gladiator. It's not as good as it used to be, and with the DJ Rework, he's just way too expensive for most things, even speedrunning.
his damage is good enough to get through the first few waves, even the heavies on fallen because he makes a lot of money and you can afford more cowboys!
@sweetsweetkhajoor No, gladiator performs extremely well in molten mode while scout performs okay in molten mode and only last for 10 waves below on fallen mode, at least glad have speedrunning uses for molten
@@fongyt5127 while gladiator does perform really good in molten mode, it's a different story on fallen mode. It sucks on fallen mode Also no one really speedruns anymore and using barricades is faster
I think it's pretty good cause it has a lot of single target damage, for the heavies and fallen squires! But it's okay if you don't think that, everyone has their own opinions :)
It’s just that brawler doesn’t have hidden detection so I think some towers may be better defending than brawler or you can just save for a tower that has hidden detection
@@nikoblox16 honestly, the ace is not that bad, especially used very often in early defend for hardcore strategies and also being a massive damage dealer if stack up
It is considered an early def if you just want your game to a be sleep fest. I would say it’s around B tier in my opinion because there are better options such as shotgunner or normal crook boss
@Heppyrxv even though they're both an early game tower, they're not an alternative to each other. They serve different purpose, if I had to rate them in a tierlist both would be in thr A tier
NOTE: If anyone is wondering why I didn't put shotgunner on this list, it's because I already did it in my last ranking and nothing changed with it, while the other towers got buffs/nerfs/reworks!
And the normal versions of the golden towers are this: Normal cowboy S or S+ ; Soldier C to D tier, scout F to D tier ; crook boss B to B+ tier!
Also remember its MY opinion so don't hate!
I’ve been searching for a good video like this for early game towers on my main
Golden Cowboy is a tad bit weak for early defense and more better for economy, normal cowboy I’m happy with how you ranked him.
quality content
What tower worth to buy?
Brawler or golden unit?
both
the g cowboy placement is kinda glazing since it barely gives enough money if you dont spam place it
golden cowboy makes a good amount of money though? you're basically getting early game defense and farming in one tower!
Are these in order? Like for example, since the golden crook boss is first of cowboy and g cowboy, does that mean its the best?
no i don't think they are
Great edits, but I would be happier if you use your own voice, still nice job, you just earned another subscriber
is trapper considered an early def?
if it can considerably be an early def tower what would you rank it?
it is but it's kind of like a last resort if anything gets past! It's proabably a B+ tier but i haven't used him
@@nikoblox16 multiple fallen milly strats utilize him in the early game and its really good
We got to get this guy to 500 subs this content is peak
tysm :D im starting to get close!
nice video i subbed. (i wish i had the golden S+ tiers bc im so bad at fallen i cannot find smth for early game)
thanks for subbing and hope you get the towers soon :D
@@nikoblox16 :DD im grinding for a golden crate now, however i got brawler so is not that hard,
only problem is that i forgot they removed hd on it so i just lost to hiddens
@benshija8208 do the ithca strategy it is an op solo fallen strat
It still isn't easy, but military base can be used pretty efficiently for solo fallen, keep grinding and you will get the golden towers soon👍💪
You forgetting shotgunner but it's k, btw nice video simple and enjoyable
i did shotgunner in my last ranking and since it hasn't changed i didn't do it.
Doesn't Ace Pilot only give HD for 30 seconds?
it gives permanent after the rework
You should have added to the normal versions of the g towers, there are newbie players out there, oh, and the shotgunner too
This tierlist is for the early game towers you usually have in mid-late game, since for new players all your towers are early game. Plus i did shotgunner in my other ranking video a few months ago.
Great vid u deserve more subs
Thank you, I appreciate it!
ace pilot is prob the best on this list just under brawler but i guess if ur just talking about early it makes sense as it kinda falls off on early
true, it sucks early game

@ oh alright
Gotta appreciate the memes in the background
good video bro (why am i actually feel like playing TDS tho)
play it it's so good and dm me on discord if u want me to carry you
something you forgot to mention about brawler's weakness is it lack of hidden detection
true, but its more of a damage dealer and hiddens dont have much health.
@@nikoblox16 Fallen summoner:
@@ex0spher_e that only gets hd after losing half it's hp, which the brawler wont kill it so fast and it will walk past the brawlers.
Just get another tower that has it then, brawler main purpose is to stall and deal extra dps i’m pretty sure.
You forgot to biggest flaw of the Brawler (it doesn't hit hidden enemies)
yeah but the hiddens arent a big problem cause by the time they come you can get a second tower that has hd to counter them!
@@nikoblox16 If your playing fallen mode it is. You'd rather choose a starter then can see hiddens/and flying in using just few more cash, it was part of my starter before it was nerfed.
srry but i think cowboy need to be B+ bc it not really strong for fallen, event and hc
the money is the best thing and also cowboy does pretty well in fallen, there's more crowds and more enemies = more money!
How the ace pilot being one of the best towers in the entire game is is bad and you just said he cant kill the strongesr ones?

Lowk wheres crook boss
And cowboy should've been behind golden soldiee due to him lacking the dps to be even callen a sub dps
crook boss is literally in the list. If you're talking about the normal one, it's between B to B+ tier! Cowboy makes a good amount of money, and also does pretty good damage so it deserves it's spot.
How about jester
its an exclusive and its a support tower not an early gmae
gladiator should be A+ to S ngl, the normal boss and fallen squire can be taken out easily if you do it correctly i think
gladiator fell off ever since other early game towers got reworks
You and the content creator overrated Gladiator. It's not as good as it used to be, and with the DJ Rework, he's just way too expensive for most things, even speedrunning.
bro forgot about gladiator pierce cap to only 3 now
Cowboy is WAY too high imo, his dmg is really bad
his damage is good enough to get through the first few waves, even the heavies on fallen because he makes a lot of money and you can afford more cowboys!
gladiator and ace pilot should be above scout...
ace pilot sure but gladiator no
