Into the Backrooms TD Tier List
Use this best units page as a role-first watch list. Public unit data is still thin, so this list ranks questions around Dark Priest, Almighty King, Commander, Electrician, Turret and Railgunner instead of fabricating S/A/B stats.

Rarity or one thumbnail
A rare label or showcase title cannot establish performance across every map, mode and investment level.
Creator questions + official loop
Current videos identify the units players ask about. Roblox confirms towers and summoning, not the missing stats.
CURRENT SIGNALS
Named units to test, not final ranks
Every card links to a page that separates what is reported from what needs an in-game check.

WATCHDark Priest
Role unconfirmed
A July 27 third-party value-list row shows Dark Priest at a reported 10,000-11,500 value range and rising stability, while YouTube queries still ask if Dark Priest or Priest is worth buying. Official role, shop cost, stats, obtain path and tier are not verified.
Checked evidence: Value-list row and YouTube query; official card needed.
Team note: Do not buy or trade only from a third-party value lead.
Source watch
WATCHAlmighty King
Role unconfirmed
Vaulted Values X still exposes an exact Almighty King item route, and creator titles continue to use King Unit wording. Official role, stats, obtain path and tier are not verified.
Checked evidence: Value-list route and creator title; official card needed.
Team note: Do not assume best-unit status before testing the observed role.
Source watch
WATCHCommander
Role unconfirmed
Commander remains in the third-party item sitemap and visible value-list rows with a reported 800-900 range, while YouTube titles surface Commander, Async Commander and Eternal unit wording. Official relationship, stats, obtain path and tier are not verified.
Checked evidence: Value-list row, item sitemap and YouTube title cluster; official card needed.
Team note: Treat Async Commander and Commander as an alias watch until the game UI confirms the name.
Early signal
WATCHElectrician
Role unconfirmed
Current acquisition interest and a disputed 0.1% creator claim; exact role, rarity and rate are not official.
Checked evidence: Repeated creator-video naming; in-game card needed.
Team note: Enter the role you observe before judging fit.
Early signal
WATCHTurret
Role unconfirmed
A current showcase asks how good Turret is, but there is no safe stat sheet or final rank.
Checked evidence: One current creator signal; no official stats.
Team note: Compare equal-investment performance by mode.
Early signal
WATCHRailgunner
Strength unconfirmed
The current public signal asks whether Railgunner is OP; it does not prove the answer.
Checked evidence: Creator question, not an official balance note.
Team note: Test the observed role against your missing coverage.
BEST BY GOAL
Build the jobs your run needs
A useful team combo covers a mode's jobs. The exact units depend on what you own and what you have observed in game.
Beginner
Reliable damage · economy · slow
Choose units you can upgrade consistently and use Team Builder to catch an early role gap.
Story / farming
Steady clears · economy · support
Repeatable clear speed matters more than copying a rare unit from an Endless showcase.
Endless
Sustained damage · slow · control · support
Long runs punish damage-only drafts. Diagnose the exact point where your run fails.
Boss
Focused damage · support · boss specialist
Test equal investment against the same target before calling one unit the best boss pick.
BEST TEAM COMBO
Turn a unit question into a balanced lineup
Start with your target goal, enter every unit name and the role you actually observed, then fill the missing core jobs. This avoids a common mistake: stacking several damage units while leaving no economy, slow, control or support. The planner does not assume an official slot limit and does not invent stats.

What can change this list
A dated in-game card establishes a unit's canonical name, role, rarity, cost and upgrade values.
An official balance note or repeated comparable test changes a unit's mode fit.
A new unit appears with enough evidence for a distinct player decision.
Endless or Trading changes introduce new team jobs or resource constraints.
FAQ
Tier list questions
What is the best unit?
Public data is too thin for a universal best unit. Compare current named signals by your play goal and observed role.
Is Electrician the rarest unit?
A creator title reports 0.1%, but the in-game banner or official rate table is not captured.
Is Railgunner OP?
A current creator title asks that question; it does not establish a verified answer.
How should I build a team?
Cover the jobs your goal needs, then compare units by equal investment and the same mode.
