Skibi Defense Tier List (September 2026) — Best Units Ranked

By Money Lord — Founder & Editor | Updated: September 9, 2026

The best unit in Skibi Defense is the Astro Juggernaut — 55.57M DPS at level 0 rising to 375.64M maxed (511.47M with its ability), for 2,000,000 Credits plus $60,000,000 to place. THE CORRUPTED JUGGERNAUT is the only unit the wiki ranks above it, but a nerf cut it to one max-on-place level worth 296.05M DPS — below Astro Juggernaut on raw DPS. Every figure below was re-checked on September 9, 2026.

S Tier — Best Units in Skibi Defense

Every S-tier unit has a global placement limit of 1. Prices and DPS sit in the summary table; this section covers what it can't.

1. THE CORRUPTED JUGGERNAUT — the raw ceiling

The wiki still calls it "one of the, if not, THE Strongest unit in the entire game." Every attack has 10 km range and infinite resistance, led by Astro Laser at 85.59M DPS. It was cut from six upgrade levels to one, maxed on placement, and its CORRUPTED Railgun hits 30.16B for a further $3B. Without the Infinite Money modifier it appears only in Nightmare, Endless and Skibi Trials. Unlock: defend The Last Base, boss HP 820 billion.

2. Astro Juggernaut — the best unit you can actually use

Released 10 August 2024 in update 3.75, across 25 levels: 55.57M DPS at level 0, 173.77M at level 9, 375.64M from level 19. It orbits the map firing six weapons at effectively infinite range.

3. Upgraded Colossal Clockman (UTCLM)

The first controllable mode-switching tower, and still the best answer to a boss you need frozen, with four abilities across two modes. The wiki rebuilt its tables on 7 September 2026: at base Slash leads on 19.37M DPS, rising to 35.11M at level 2, with combined output the wiki puts "well over 100 million DPS". Time Stop runs a full 60 seconds for $3.5M, on a 425-second cooldown.

4. Prime Colossal Camera (PUTC)

Two stances: Battle Mode stacks +0.1% damage per kill, resetting on a mode switch or upgrade; Shield Mode grants stun immunity. Rage Mode stacks every attack at once on a 180-second cooldown. Unlocking it means clearing Chapter 8 — 18 waves, boss Obliterator Astro at 5.25B HP. Its Refined Prime Camera Colossal skin doubles its damage, crafted in the Sewers from 2 Shields and 1 Jetpack.

5. Astro Upgraded Titan TV Man (Astro UTTVM)

The most expensive placement in the game, gated behind Battlepass tier 1,000. Its Death Slash deals 20.5 billion damage in one hit — enough to one-shot a 20B HP Familiar Face. A trophy, not a plan.

A Tier — Endgame Workhorses

Upgraded Colossal TV Guy is what you buy first: the wiki notes it is "required to buy The Strongest Camera and every unit after it." It reaches 17.3M DPS for $162.5M in-match and cannot be buffed by anything but skins and traits.

The Strongest Camera — formerly Gojo, then Six Eyes, now Six Lens — is the best value on the board thanks to one number: a placement limit of 10, at $3,250 each. Ten maxed to level 9 total roughly 8.1M DPS, which is why the Multiverse Chapter 1 farming route is spamming them inside a buffer's radius.

Ultimate TV Duo and Ultimate Cameraman are quest unlocks. The Duo heals 10 seconds of stun time off a nearby tower per 333M damage dealt; the Cameraman summons a maxed Upgraded Titan Cameraman plus up to 3 turrets at 6M DPS each.

Alliance DJ deals zero damage and still earns a slot: at max it gives towers within 150m a +100% cash-gain boost, a 20% price reduction, +5% range, +10% attack speed and 50% global income paid to all players. Upgraded Colossal Speakerguy is the cheapest reliable mass-AoE tower here, climbing to 101,428 DPS for a cumulative $1.25M.

B Tier — Mid-Game Value

Upgraded Camera Strider hits roughly 121K DPS at max, almost all from one attack: the level-4 Railgun, at 950,000 damage on a 9-second cooldown. Camera General throws AoE grenades, boosts nearby towers' range and at max summons Toxic Bomber Toilets — with a limit of 4, the cheapest way to widen coverage.

Uncle Camera, free from the July 4th Event, is one of the best early towers: its stated max DPS is 2,627, but the wiki flags the fireworks landing 3–4x that (7,881–10,508). Guardian Clockman (filed as Guardian Large Clock) is a Multiverse Coin farming tool, not a damage unit. Dark Speakerman's level-3 knife does 11,500 damage in a 360° arc.

C Tier — Free Starters & Retirees

Camera Fighter is the starter unit: free, capping at 111 DPS after $2,050, enough to solo Chapter 1 and nothing beyond. Speaker Fighter is also free — ignore any list that prices either. Researcher Camera is a genuinely useful opener with both air and hidden detection. Large Camera has neither; the wiki's own advice is that "it is generally a bad idea to even have the Large Camera in your loadout." Space Detainer was viable in Update 2; the verdict now is "he's useless nowadays, and unobtainable by credits."

New in September: the Drill Faction

The Drill faction is the roster's newest addition. Its units cost Multiverse Coins and unlock after you beat Multiverse Chapter 2; the Pencil faction sits one chapter further out. The wiki published its first real stat pages on 5–7 September 2026, having carried the faction as a stub since July.

Drillguy is a five-level ramp-up unit whose hit damage climbs from 2,500 to 52,500; the wiki lists a placement limit of 1 but notes the in-game cap is 3. Large Drillguy is the bigger sibling; five further units are named with no stats yet. Neither publishes a DPS figure — the damage above is per hit — so both sit unranked rather than tiered on a guess.

What We Removed From This List

Corrections are published, not quietly edited out. This pass:

• Two level-0 figures sat in the "peak DPS" column — Ultimate TV Duo showed 3.27M against a 30M max, Clockman a level-1 10.8M.
• Every Clockman stat was stale after the wiki's 7 September rebuild, including a "2.5x Switch Mode multiplier" it no longer supports.
• "Clock Coins" no longer exist — renamed Multiverse Coins.
• THE CORRUPTED JUGGERNAUT's cost is no longer "immeasurable" — nerfed to one level, it lists $4B and 296.05M DPS.
• Guardian Clockman gains its real limit (2) and DPS (60,000); an unsourced "never gains air detection" claim is cut.
• Still excluded from earlier passes: an invented "91M DPS" figure, a "$4,500,000 to place" that was Astro UTTVM's $4.5 billion, invented starter prices, four non-existent units and an "April 2026 community meta".

How We Ranked These Units

Four inputs, in order: placement limit (a 101K-DPS unit you can field ten of beats a 375M-DPS unit you can field one of), published max DPS, cost per 1 DPS, and whether the unit is still obtainable. Stats come from each unit's page on the Skibi Defense wiki, read 9 September 2026, with game-level numbers from the live Roblox API the same day. Where an infobox contradicts its body text we take the upgrade tables; where no DPS is published we leave the unit unranked.

Game context as of September 9, 2026: 474.8 million visits, 753,032 favourites, and a 92.4% rating from 203,584 votes. Players (median) sat at 2,660 across readings sampled that day, against a 7-day peak of 7,420 on 6 September and an all-time peak of 26,072 on 27 April 2024. Created 1 August 2023; 50-player servers, PC and mobile, by the verified group Archkos Studios.

Is This "Skibidi Defense"? And Is It "Skibidi Masters"?

Most people search this game as "Skibidi Defense," but its Roblox listing spells it Skibi Defense — one "di" short — at place ID 14279693118 / universe ID 4938220315, by Archkos Studios. If a tier list names Titan TV Man, Secret Agent or Speaker Strider as top picks, it is a different game.

It is also not Skibidi Masters Tower Defense — place ID 15111895255, by Mastery Studios Games. The two share nothing but a theme: Skibi Defense sells towers from a shop, Skibidi Masters summons them on Toilet Paper banners. No unit on this page exists in that game — for that one, read our Skibidi Masters Tower Defense guide or its hub. Skibidi Tower Defense is a third, distinct game. The nearest real competitor is Toilet Tower Defense, compared in our head-to-head and ranked in our tier list.
