When it comes to the best units in Fish Tower Defense there are four roles to consider. Some units are for cash farm like the Lucky Fish, some for AOE, some for single target boss-killer damage and some are summoners. There's also a fifth loose category which are the best starters and I'll comment on these units below in the stat section. I'm going to show you the best ones across all categories in this Fish Tower Defense tier list and guide.

Fish Tower Defense Unit Tier List
This Fish Tower Defense tier lists focuses on both great DPS, summon tanking, and starter potential. While the Lucky Fish is usually the best starter to quickly farm some coins, there are also other great ones. For Atlantis, the Atlantis Strider does really well and for the early-to-mid game the Trishark and Humpback Whale are pretty good. Note that some of the Meta DPS units in S and A are pay-to-win so if you don't want to spend Robux I provided great free alternatives. Now let's analyze all attack types, stats and abilities for all units below.
