Best Budget Units
If you’re starting out or low on trading leverage, aim for budget units that still offer strong performance in-game:
- Arsonist (Legendary): Delivers reliable area damage across most stages.
- Necromancer (Epic): A staple early-game unit that handles pressure well.
- Vampire (Mythic): Excels at single-target damage despite being mid-range in trade value.
- Boss / Jade Arsonist: These exclusives carry well early and are easier to trade for than top-tier units.
These units give you solid ground to farm with until you can secure higher-value trades. Finally, bookmark a reliable value tracker or maintain a personal sheet. Patch notes, holiday events, and limited-time banners can flip this list overnight. Update, adapt, profit, and then steamroll the next wave.
