Unit tier list
Which units are really worth recruiting? We split them into tiers S (top), A (strong), B (average) and C (weak), separately for attack and for defense. Hover over a unit for a short reason, click it for the details. Only units a player can actually own are listed, NPC camp and boss units are left out.

Best unit in each category
Attack 390 is by far the highest among units a player can own, and it eats no food.
The best offensive ranged unit from ranking rewards, might 8 and loot 50 at five food.
Defense 368 melee and 147 ranged, zero food, the toughest wall against infantry.
Defense 357 against ranged and 138 melee at zero upkeep, the best answer to archers.
Attack 116 and defense 142 for a mere 85 resources and zero food, the best stats-to-price ratio.
Attack 118 straight from level 1 barracks for just 100 resources, the ideal accessible early attacker.
