BEAR Tower Defense Best Towers Tier List
S through D rankings for the full BEAR Tower Defense roster.
This is the complete meta tier list for towers in BEAR Tower Defense, the Roblox TD from BEAR* and Cheedaman. Rankings assume cooperative PvE on Lost Temple and Haunted Mansion, standard wave scaling, and average investment of Coins, Quidz, and mid-match Cheese. Your capsule luck may unlock units sooner, but the relative power bands stay useful for spending decisions.
Pair this page with Early Game Tier List if you are still unlocking basics, and Anti-Air Tier List before running Balloon Bob-heavy lobbies.
S Tier — meta anchors
These towers define late waves, boss chunks of Chained Bob HP, or economy snowballs that free Cheese for everyone.
Hype Beast
Hype Beast sits at the top for raw carry potential when upgraded. Burst windows delete high-value targets and shorten Chained Bob fights that stall lesser DPS. Access usually requires Quidz capsules or the Hype Beast Early Game Pass—budget players defer it but should plan toward it. Support with Cheese Factory so upgrade timings align with hype cycles.
Psychic
Psychic combines strong sustained damage with control that keeps Bobs clumped for splash partners. Excellent on Haunted Mansion corners where pathing stacks enemies. Upgrade priority: range first on wide maps, damage first on short Lost Temple loops.
Electrisam
Electrisam chains lightning across Bobs and partially addresses spread lanes. Not a full substitute for dedicated anti-air—see Anti-Air—but S-tier ground value when Balloon Bobs mix with ground waves. Pairs with Rockstar AoE for cleanup.
A Tier — roster backbone
Reliable every run once unlocked; often your first Quidz goals after early units.
Cheese Factory
Cheese Factory is economy, not flashy DPS. It generates Cheese passively so the team afford Psychic and Electrisam upgrades one wave earlier. One factory per cooperative lobby is standard; two on puzzle-heavy weeks (Memory, Burger, Wire, Cowboy) when bonus income spikes.
Rockstar
Rockstar delivers cone or area concerts that shred grouped Bobs. Falls off slightly against single Chained Bob anchors unless you funnel status support from Psychic. Cheap enough to justify A-tier even before mythic pulls.
Bear
Bear is consistent single-target slap damage with forgiving placement. New-player friendly but stays relevant as a budget boss killer when Hype Beast is unavailable. Invest Coins here if capsules refuse to cooperate.
B Tier — strong niches
Scrando
Scrando (sometimes Scraner in clips) is the Hungry for More defensive tower that places path blockades enemies must chew through. It does not replace Cheese Factory, Psychic, or Rockstar — think stall utility, not carry DPS.
- Base blockade HP starts around 100 and scales with upgrades and appetite / strength stamps.
- Shines on dense paths like Fat Lands and Extreme Mode lobbies where seconds buy puzzle windows.
- Does not hit Balloon Bobs — pair with Anti-Air answers.
- Unlock via Coins, Quidz, or the Scrando Game Pass — compare options on Game Passes.
Scrando sits B-tier situational / defensive — valuable on blockade maps, skippable until core S-tier unlocks land.
Buckethead
Buckethead tanks and stalls—more utility than DPS. Climbs toward A-tier on chained maps where stalling buys time for Electrisam chains. Skip early Coin investment if you solo speed-run Lost Temple.
Sam
Sam marks or executes targets depending on upgrade path—excellent helper for Chained Bob segments when the team lacks burst. Less mandatory when Hype Beast is online.
C Tier — collection and memes
Towers that work in casual lobbies but lose efficiency versus A-tier role mates:
- Older or gimmick kits outdamaged by Rockstar AoE for the same Cheese spend.
- Units requiring perfect micro without payoff on Balloon Bob weeks.
Spend Coins here only after core Early Game goals and one anti-air answer.
D Tier — avoid prioritizing
Outclassed role duplicates—fine if you already unlocked them, but do not chase with Quidz while Psychic or Electrisam remain locked. Revisit after patches; Cheedaman buffs underused towers occasionally.
Quick reference table
| Tower | Tier | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hype Beast | S | Burst carry | Capsule / Game Pass path |
| Psychic | S | Control DPS | Haunted Mansion value |
| Electrisam | S | Chain AoE | Ground core; partial air |
| Cheese Factory | A | Economy | One per team standard |
| Rockstar | A | AoE clear | Bob groups |
| Bear | A | Single-target | Budget boss help |
| Scrando | B | Blockade / stall | Fat Lands, Extreme |
| Buckethead | B | Stall / tank | Chained Bob maps |
| Sam | B | Execute support | Needs team burst |
Investment order with Coins and Quidz
- Unlock Early Game essentials (Bear, Rockstar, one economy tool).
- Add Cheese Factory when teammates agree on cooperative lobbies.
- Save Quidz for banner weeks featuring Psychic or Electrisam.
- Pull or pass toward Hype Beast when Chained Bob gates your highest floor.
- Fill anti-air gaps via Anti-Air Tier List before luxury duplicates.
- Consider Scrando after core unlocks if you push Fat Lands Extreme — see Hungry for More.
Capsule Luck Game Pass skews step three—still follow role coverage before duplicating DPS.
Map-specific adjustments
- Lost Temple — Rockstar and Electrisam gain value on clustered paths; Buckethead optional.
- Haunted Mansion — Psychic control rises; bring anti-air from the dedicated list.
- Fat Lands — Scrando blockades and Psychic overlap matter on dense paths; read Hungry for More.
- Puzzle-heavy lobbies — Cheese Factory effectively promotes Rockstar one sub-tier because upgrades arrive faster.
Synergies and traps
Good pairs: Cheese Factory + Hype Beast timing; Psychic clump + Electrisam chain; Bear + Sam on Chained Bob.
Common traps: Skipping economy to rush Hype Beast without upgrade Cheese; ignoring Balloon Bobs because ground tiers look strong; spreading Coins across C-tier duplicates before Psychic unlock.

Is Cheese Factory worth upgrading?
Yes in team lobbies where shared Cheese fuels upgrades. Solo speed runners may delay it but still pick it up before luxury DPS duplicates.
Should I pull for Hype Beast or Psychic first?
Psychic and Electrisam cover more general content earlier. Hype Beast becomes the priority when Chained Bob HP gates your progression.
Where does Bear rank long-term?
Solid A-tier single-target. It remains a reliable Coin unlock when capsules miss higher-tier units.
Do tier ranks change after updates?
