Astro Juggernaut (The DPS King)
Sitting at the top of the Skibi Defense tier list, the Astro Juggernaut is currently unmatched. With the right Lobby Upgrades, its DPS can peak at a staggering 91 million. If you’re pushing for late-game waves, this is your primary win condition.
Upgraded Titan Clockman (Ultimate Utility)
As an "Ultimate" class tower, the Titan Clockman offers indispensable time-manipulation abilities. It provides the breathing room needed when bosses start overwhelming your defenses.
The Creator
Still one of the rarest units in the game, The Creator remains an S+ staple. Obtaining it via the Chapter 2 Nightmare challenge is a badge of honor and a massive boost to your defensive power.
