Sorcerer Tower Defense Tier List
Update 31.0 [NAOYA] rankings using in-game names, not anime nicknames.
This Sorcerer Tower Defense tier list is rebuilt for Update 31.0 [NAOYA] (live 21 August 2026). Units are listed by in-game name. Jogo is Volcano Curse, Mahito is Soul Curse, Hanami is Nature Curse, Dagon is Ocean Curse, Choso is Blood Manipulator, Sukuna is King Of Curses, Gojo is Strongest Sorcerer, Naoya is Projection Sorcerer.
Use the story / Hell list if you still leak on Stage 10. Use the endgame list for raids, Endless, and Culling. Unit kits live on the Units hub.
S tier — ceiling
| Unit | Role | How you get it |
|---|---|---|
| Strongest Sorcerer (Awakened) | Seven-level carry, domain kit | Heaven and Earth + 40 Reverse Energy Shards |
| King Of Curses (15 Fingers) | Multi-target, unstunnable | Evolve Red Scarf Sorcerer |
| Volcano Curse | Burn splash, cheaper Special Grade | Elemental Fragments + Lava Orbs |
| Soul Curse (True) | Black Flash spike, transfigure | Soul Curse + Mythic shards |
| Strongest Sorcerer (base) | 0.1 SPA, unstunnable | Strongest Crate 0.1% |
| Projection Sorcerer | Percent HP frames | 10 Projection Fragments (Culling) |
Awakened Gojo is the only Ascended Grade with seven upgrades and the Hollow Purple package. King Of Curses is the multi-target ceiling and the reason you never sell Red Scarf. Projection is the new boss answer — 24 stacks freeze a target for a chunk of current HP, which no other unit copies.
A tier — realistic endgame
Ocean Curse (Dagon) has huge paper damage but reported broken abilities; craft Volcano first if fragments are shared. Sorcerer Killer (Toji) is a raid line. Nature Curse (Hanami) stuns on hit. Lightning Sorcerer (Kashimo) ramps into Beast Amber. Justice Sorcerer (Higuruma) is the easiest Culling Special Grade to target and only misses S because Deadly Sentencing has been logged as bugged. Curse Manipulator (Geto) deals through summons, not a DPS column. Explosive Sorcerer is premium battle-pass Mythic AoE stun. Sorcerer Agent is the farm king at 199 Robux.
Kogane is gone. The 1,499 Robux pack is delisted. Lists that still say “pick up Kogane” are stale.
B–D in one breath
B: Soul Curse, Overtime Sorcerer, Gaze Sorcerer, Red Scarf (evolution bait), Claws Sorcerer (best free Update 31 unit). C: Ice Manipulator, Helicopter Sorcerer, Blood Manipulator, Guitar Sorcerer, Panda, Bow Sorcerer. D: Basic Sorcerer and people who treat Broom Sorcerer as damage — Broom is a range buffer.
How this list is ranked
Max damage and SPA from public stat tables, then adjusted for bugs, obtain pain, and whether a unit is evolution material. A 0.01% Geto is not a beginner recommendation even if the summons are huge. A free Claws Sorcerer outranks a paid statue you will not buy.
Mode splits:
- Story / Hell — Bow, Claws, Overtime, Red Scarf. See story-hell.
- Raids — unstunnable carries + farm. See Gojo Raid.
- Culling — fragment hunters, not pure DPS. See Culling units.
- Endless — Awakened Gojo or King Of Curses plus Soul Curse (True).
Team rule from the planner: one farm, one slow, one buffer, one or two carries. Five damage units go bankrupt upgrading Volcano Curse (full build is a six-figure coin bill).
If a YouTube short disagrees, check the date against Update 31.0. Seasonal skins (Summer Yuji, Winter Mecha) do not automatically outrank their base kits.
