Read This First: Beginner Tier List + Lineup Help Megathread

Welcome to r/WittleDefenderTheGame. Start here before making a new post.

Lineup Help

Use this thread for lineup help, hero investment questions, and “who should I build?” questions.

When asking for help, please include:

  • A screenshot of your current lineup
  • A screenshot of your available heroes, if possible
  • Your current chapter / mode / wall
  • Whether you are F2P, light spend, or spending heavily
  • What you are trying to improve: campaign, bosses, tower, events, etc.

Standalone lineup-help posts may be removed and redirected here so the subreddit stays easier to browse.

Beginner Tier List

Credit to Sahagin Dazs from the official Discord for the beginner tier guidance.

This beginner list is mainly for Rate-Up LV 2 and below. The meta changes, and high-end teams are different, so check Discord for the newest late-game tier lists.

Quick beginner notes:

  • SW / Starlight Weaver is the recommended first Xeno focus and becomes a staple in mid-late game teams.
  • If you do not want to start with SW, MK or VW are the usual alternatives.
  • PC is more of a late-game hero. Once Lich is available, start thinking about building PC alongside that setup.
  • ID is a strong tank for getting through mid game.
  • SS is useful for crit rate early, but becomes less important later as more crit options open up.
  • Robot and SM are good early fighters but tend to fall off before deeper progression.
  • Cheffy is a strong early healer until your SW setup comes online.
  • DS can look strong early, but falls off hard. Avoid overinvesting unless you know why you are doing it.
  • BA has crit damage utility, but later teams often replace that role.
  • IW can be useful, especially around PC + Lich teams because of Ice RES reduction.
  • Avoid investing heavily into low-tier heroes unless you need a specific passive or niche use.

Runic Plains difficulty rewards

Two questions.. Does Apocalypse 1 give the same rewards as Apocalypse 5? When using the assistant, is it better to choose a Higher wave or does that not affect it

Lifetime Privilege Card

Sorry if not appropriate to ask, new player, and see the Lifetime Privilege Card has changed.

Is it worth it lately?

Enjoying the game. But don’t fully understand what the benefits actually are.

Where to go from here

Hi I am free to play, not sure what my optimal lineup should be here, do I replace ice demon with Lyra? Should I try to farm for northern tyrant? Halp!
