🔰 Universal Tower Defense: Ultimate Beginner's Guide (2025)
Welcome to UTD! This guide will take you from a complete "Noob" to a "Pro" player. The game is all about summoning anime characters, defending your base, and trading for high-value units.
🚀 Step 1: The "Golden Start" (Redeem Codes)
Before you play a single match, get your free resources. Do not skip this! The developers have given out massive rewards for the launch.
- How to Redeem: Look for the Codes/Chat button on the screen.
- Active Codes (Try these immediately):
40kCCU!(4,000 Gems + 40 Rerolls) [BEST CODE]Mainstream!(450 Gems + 15 Rerolls)UNRIVALED!(200 Gems + 5 Rerolls)RELEASE!(400 Gems)
💡 Pro Tip: Use the 4,000 Gems to summon immediately. If you don't get a Mythic or Secret unit, you might want to create a new account and try again (this is called "Rerolling an account").
🔮 Step 2: Summoning Strategy
Don't just spend gems randomly. Here is how the summoning banner works:
- The Banner: The units in the summon area change every hour (usually).
- What to aim for:
- Don't settle for Rares/Epics. They become useless very quickly.
- Target: You need at least one Legendary or Mythic unit to clear Story Mode easily.
- Pity System: If you summon enough times without getting a high-tier unit, the game guarantees you one. Check the counter!
⚔️ Step 3: Gameplay Fundamentals (How to Win)
1. Placement is Key
- Corners are King: Always place your units on the corners of the path. This allows them to hit enemies for a longer time as they walk around the bend.
- Hill Units: Some units can only be placed on elevated ground (Hills). These usually have higher range.
2. Quality > Quantity
- It is almost always better to upgrade one strong unit to max level than to place 5 weak, Level 1 units.
- Upgrading unlocks new attacks (AOE) and massive damage boosts.
3. Priority Settings
- Click your unit and change "Targeting" based on the situation:
- First: Default. Hits the enemy closest to the base.
- Strongest: Essential for Bosses! Make your high-damage units target the Boss.
🏆 Step 4: The "Meta" (Units to Look For)
If you pull any of these, lock them immediately (do not sell or fuse them).
- 👑 The God Tier (Secret Units):
- Sung Jin-Woo (Jinoo): The best unit currently. Summons shadows.
- Dragon Guy (Silverite): Insane freeze/stun capability.
- 💎 The Top Tier (Mythics):
- Berserker: High damage dealer.
- Kriatu (Cheater): Amazing ground DPS.
- Miku: The best Support unit (buffs your team's range/damage).
⚡ Step 5: Traits (Power Up!)
You will get "Trait Rerolls" from codes. Use these to give your best units passive buffs.
- NPC: Look for the NPC named "Trait Reroll".
- Aim For:
- Godly / Divinity: Massive damage boosts.
- Swift: Attacks faster.
- Range: Increases attack distance (great for support units).
📝 Quick Progression Roadmap
- Login & Codes: Get your 4,000+ Gems.
- Summon: Try to get Berserker or Kriatu. If you get Miku, keep her for support.
- Story Mode: Play through the Story Mode (start with Namek or the easiest map). This gives you Gold and XP.
- Equip Items: As you win, you get items. Equip them to your units for stat boosts.
- Infinite Mode: Once you have a full team of Level 20+ units, try Infinite Mode to farm Gems.
⚠️ Important Warnings
- Trading: Do not trade until you understand values. People will try to scam you for your Secret units.
- AFK: If you go AFK (Away From Keyboard) in the lobby, put yourself in the "AFK Zone" to earn passive rewards.
Good luck, Defender! Hope you pull a Secret Unit! 🍀
