- All Army Attack tier list: Every unit ranked S through D by overall deployment value
- S-Tier picks: High-damage ranged units and durable frontline tanks dominate most stages
- Best early strategy: Cheap swarm units carry the early game before heavy armor unlocks
- Spend smart: Upgrade a small core roster instead of leveling everything evenly
- Meta tip: Mix tank, damage, and support roles rather than stacking one unit type
All Army Attack Tier List Overview
This All Army Attack tier list ranks every major unit category by deployment value across the campaign, boss fights, and base-defense missions. Rankings weigh four factors: damage output, survivability, deployment cost, and how well a unit scales into late-game content. A cheap unit that carries ten early stages can still land in B tier if it falls off hard later — the goal here is a list that stays useful across your entire progression.
Ranking Criteria:
- Damage per second relative to deployment cost
- Survivability — HP pool, armor type, and crowd-control resistance
- Versatility across mission types (siege, defense, boss)
- Accessibility — how early and how cheaply the unit can be unlocked and upgraded
| Tier | Meaning | Typical Units |
|---|---|---|
| S | Best-in-slot, priority investment | Heavy tanks, elite ranged DPS |
| A | Strong picks, minor weaknesses | Mech units, artillery, snipers |
| B | Situational, solid with support | Mid-tier infantry, light vehicles |
| C | Niche use only | Early swarm units, weak specialists |
| D | Avoid investing resources | Outclassed in nearly every role |
Tier lists describe general value, not strict rules. A B-tier unit you have already upgraded to max level will usually outperform an S-tier unit sitting at level 1. Invest in what you own, and use this ranking to decide where your next batch of resources goes.
S-Tier and A-Tier Units
The top of this unit ranking belongs to units that combine high damage with either strong survivability or unmatched utility. These are the units worth pushing to max level first.
| Unit | Tier | Role | Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy Assault Tank | S | Frontline | Massive HP, splash damage, absorbs boss hits | Slow movement, high cost |
| Elite Sniper Squad | S | Ranged DPS | Long range, deletes high-value targets | Fragile if flanked |
| Rocket Artillery | S | Siege | Huge AoE damage, outranges most defenses | Needs frontline protection |
| Combat Mech | A | Hybrid | Strong damage and durability in one package | Expensive to unlock |
| Attack Helicopter | A | Air DPS | Ignores ground blockers, fast repositioning | Weak to anti-air |
| Special Forces | A | Shock infantry | Mini-gun output, good vs. swarms | Squishy vs. splash |
Heavy Assault Tank
- S-Tier frontline
- Holds chokepoints solo
- Best boss-fight anchor
- Splash damage clears swarms
Elite Sniper Squad
- S-Tier ranged pick
- Deletes enemy elites first
- Pairs with any tank
- Keep behind the front line
Rocket Artillery
- S-Tier siege option
- Longest attack range
- Melts clustered defenses
- Always deploy with escorts
Deploy the Heavy Assault Tank up front, Elite Snipers directly behind, and Rocket Artillery in the rear. This three-layer formation handles the majority of campaign stages and boss encounters with minimal losses.
B-Tier, C-Tier, and D-Tier Units
The middle and bottom of the All Army Attack rankings contain units that either need specific conditions to shine or have been outclassed by better options. They still have uses — just not as your primary investment.
| Unit | Tier | Role | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rifle Infantry | B | Cheap swarm | Early stages, soaking hits |
| Light Vehicle | B | Fast flanker | Rushing unprotected objectives |
| Grenadier | B | Mid-range AoE | Clearing tightly packed enemies |
| Border Guard | C | Basic defense | Very early base protection |
| Scout Drone | C | Recon | Revealing enemy layouts |
| Militia Recruit | D | Filler | Only before anything better unlocks |
When B-Tier units outperform higher tiers:
- Cost-limited missions where cheap swarms beat one expensive unit
- Timed objectives where Light Vehicles reach targets faster than tanks
- Wave defense where Rifle Infantry absorb hits while artillery does the work
Avoid dumping upgrade materials into C and D tier units. Their stats cap low, and every resource spent on them is a resource delayed for your S-tier core. Use them as-is in the early game, then retire them.
How to Build Your Army: Step-by-Step
Follow this progression path to reach a competitive army without wasting resources. The sequence matters — economy first, then a defensive core, then your damage dealers.
Establish Your Economy
In the opening stages, prioritize income-generating buildings and cheap infrastructure over military spending. A stable cash flow makes every later unlock painless. Rushing expensive units early slows total progression.
Build a Defensive Core
Add low-cost defensive structures and basic infantry to protect your territory. Border towers and barracks-level units are enough to survive early raids while your economy matures.
Unlock Your S-Tier Core
Once income is stable, invest in the Heavy Assault Tank and Elite Sniper Squad. These two units carry you through the mid-game and should be your first max-level priorities.
Add Siege and Air Support
Expand into Rocket Artillery and Attack Helicopters to handle fortified bases and anti-ground formations. This is where mission variety opens up.
Specialize for Endgame Content
In the late game, push toward Combat Mechs, military hospitals for unit sustain, and elite support structures. Focus on the content you actually play — boss farming versus PvP each favor different builds.
A strong army always contains three roles: a tank to absorb damage, ranged DPS to deal it, and support or siege to break stalemates. Stacking a single unit type leaves hard counters free to punish you.
Team Compositions and Mission Matchups
Different missions reward different compositions. Use this matchup table to swap your loadout before deployment rather than forcing one army into every situation.
| Mission Type | Recommended Core | Key Adjustment |
|---|---|---|
| Campaign siege | Tank + Artillery | Artillery in rear, protect with infantry |
| Boss fight | Tank + Snipers | Focus single-target damage, sustain via hospital |
| Wave defense | Swarms + Artillery | Cheap frontline, AoE behind |
| Fast objective | Light Vehicles + Helicopter | Speed over durability |
| Fortified base | Artillery + Air units | Outrange anti-ground defenses |
Army Building Checklist:
- Stabilize economy before heavy military spending
- Unlock and max one S-tier tank
- Max an S-tier ranged damage dealer
- Add artillery for siege missions
- Keep a cheap swarm option for wave defense
- Avoid upgrading C and D tier units past early game

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the best unit in All Army Attack?
The Heavy Assault Tank is the most consistently valuable unit in this tier list. Its huge HP pool and splash damage make it the anchor for campaign, boss, and defense missions alike. Pair it with Elite Snipers for the strongest general-purpose core.
Q: Are D-tier units ever worth using?
Only in the very first stages before better options unlock, or in cost-capped missions where you literally cannot afford anything else. Do not spend upgrade materials on them — their stat ceilings are too low to matter later.
Q: Should I upgrade many units evenly or focus on a few?
Focus on a few. A max-level S-tier core outperforms a wide roster of mid-level units in nearly every mission type. Concentrate resources on your tank, your ranged DPS, and one siege option before diversifying.
Q: How often does this tier list change?
Balance patches and new unit releases can shift rankings significantly. Check back after each major update — the core S-tier picks tend to stay strong, but mid and lower tiers rotate as new units are added to All Army Attack.
