TBA rank
TBA Notice: The "TBA" mark stands as a placeholder for the highest ranking level the wiki can assign. A wiki-designated tier level will be determined soon to replace it.

The special "TBA" tier is dedicated to items that not only meet the criteria for the SS+ rank, but uniquely contributes to gameplay in a broader sense and all but radically transform the overall quality of life for the player, alone or synergized with other powerful items. They are usually of the utmost rarity and deserve the reputation for being among the most highly sought after items in the entire game.


 * Lady Rainicorn
 * Monkey Farmer
 * Thought Cannon Wand
 * Vampire King

SS rank
Items listed here are referred as "SS", short for "Superior Superior". Such items are considered to be absolutely vital, making a vastly significant difference to creating the most optimal loadout possible in almost all scenarios. Having one of these items will very likely make the difference between winning and losing a game!

SS+

 * COBRA
 * Baker's Shard
 * Demon Heart
 * Hunson Abadeer
 * Technological Terror

SS

 * Devil Monster Bass
 * Finn Sword
 * Googoomamameter

S rank
Items listed here are referred as "S", short for "Superior". These items may not be as game-breaking as the ones in the SS rank, but they can still have a notable impact on gameplay if used at the most ideal situations.

 * 4D Sword
 * Carl the Gem
 * Magic Coin Purse
 * Plasma Goggles
 * Silver Tipped Stakes

 * Stone of Ancient Knowledge
 * Thundersword

A rank
Items listed here are referred as "A", short for "Amazing". They serve to be quite useful when the player is just starting out, but later get outclassed by higher tier items that the player will eventually obtain. Nonetheless, they are worthwhile items that can reliably make very capable defenses.

A+

 * BMO
 * Demonic Wishing Eye
 * Train Boss

A

 * Billy
 * Booboo Sousa
 * Moe
 * Shoko

A-

 * Tiki Shield
 * Treetrunk's Dagger

B rank
Items listed here are referred as "B", short for "Borderline". Items in this rarity are not particularly special, but they have a handful of features that still holds them to being relevant in practical gameplay, though much more so early in the game.

B+

 * Banana Air Corps
 * Lemonsweets
 * Paper Plate Mask

B

 * Windmill Dagger



B-

 * Banana Guards

C rank
Items listed here are referred as "C", short for "TBA". These items suffer from major flaws in stats and/or other properties and therefore rarely measure anywhere close to the best items.

C

 * Clarence



D rank
Items listed here are referred as "D", short for "TBA". They have multiple problems with the integration of stats/properties and the use cases in most play settings. As such, they are not worth the player's investment.

D+

 * Holiday BMO



E rank
Items listed here are referred as "E", short for "TBA". These items will have almost no effect on gameplay, to put it simply.

F rank
Items listed here are referred as "F", short for "Failure". Unless if the player wants to take the route to become a hardcore collector, most players are better off letting go of these items and focus on getting more powerful loot than keeping the following items around, because even if they happen to be in a BTD master's loadout and be utilized expertly at any chance, their effects are ultimately nonexistent.


 * Be a Ninja
 * Cheesy Dog
