Manhwa Legends is a Roblox tower defense game where you summon manhwa- and manhua-inspired characters, place them on the map, and fight through waves of enemies. Units carry three core stats, DMG (damage), SPA (seconds per attack), and RNG (range), and they can be leveled, upgraded, and evolved during a run. The ranking below sorts every notable unit by how much work it actually does in DPS, boss killing, support, and farming roles at launch.
Quick answer: Secret Dreamer (Constellation) is the strongest overall pick for full-AOE damage, while Song Hwen (Vessel) is the top single-target boss killer. Pair either with Ha Yora (Idol) for buffs and a Farm unit like Loid (Master) to fund the run.
Manhwa Legends tier list at launch
This grid groups units by role and strength. S and A placements are the reliable meta picks. B units still perform well in the right team, while C units fall behind because of low output or clunky mechanics. Support and Farm are ranked separately since they win runs differently from raw DPS.
| Tier / Role | Units |
|---|---|
| S DPS | Secret Dreamer (Constellation), Song Hwen (Vessel), Beylord (Mimicry), White Wolf (Feral), Beast (Primal) |
| A DPS | Querasha (Pestilence), Ha Yori (Princess), Cherry (Dancer), Ancient (Regressor) |
| B DPS | Infernum (Phoenix), Jay (Hope), Yuu (Boxer), Kim Dakjo (Immortal King), Coera Denoir (Noble) |
| C DPS | Pildo Gang (Landlord), Creator |
| S Support | Secret Dreamer (Constellation), Ha Yora (Idol), Kim Dakjo (Immortal King), Querasha (Pestilence), Violet Grace (Revolution) |
| A/B Support | Infernum (Phoenix), Coera Denoir (Noble), Beylord (Mimicry), Andrassa, Kyrogias Radgroim, Akryoung |
| Farm | Loid (Master), Mint |
How this was ranked: placements weigh total damage output, boss-killing consistency, AOE coverage, support value, and how well each unit scales into late-game and Infinite modes. This reflects the launch roster as of July 2026.
S-tier DPS units
These are the carries. Secret Dreamer stands at the top because it combines massive AOE damage with clones that shock and stun, plus a large crit buff once Terror of the Stars is fully stacked. Song Hwen sits beside it as the cleanest single-target boss killer in the game.
| Unit | Why it ranks here |
|---|---|
 Secret Dreamer (Constellation) | Best unit overall. Full AOE damage with clones that shock for stuns, a huge crit buff from stacking Terror of the Stars, and enough power to destroy raid bosses. To unlock it easily, get Ancient and go down his skill tree to the Level 50 and 100 abilities that drop Constellations from enemies, then fuse them into Secret Dreamer. Best Trait: Legend or Limit Break. |
 Song Hwen (Vessel) | The best boss killer in the game, delivering the highest single-target DPS. Best Trait: Legend or Boss Slayer. |
 Beylord (Mimicry) | A pseudo full-AOE meta DPS thanks to passive damage. Works well next to Beast and other DPS units. Best Trait: Limit Break or Assassin. |
 White Wolf (Feral) | Stacks crit chance quickly for strong DPS up to 100%. Crits proc Bleed DoTs that also buff him in several ways for even more damage, and he fits any mode. Best Trait: Limit Break, Assassin, or Legend. |
 Beast (Primal) | A meta DPS from early on that stays incredible into the late game. Best Trait: Limit Break or Legend. |
A-tier DPS units
These are the sub-meta picks that punch close to the top, especially against bosses. Ancient sits here partly because he is the key to unlocking Secret Dreamer, so most players will build him regardless.
| Unit | Why it ranks here |
|---|---|
 Querasha (Pestilence) | A sub-meta support/DPS hybrid and a meta boss killer, carried by her passive. Best Trait: Legend. |
 Ha Yori (Princess) | Massive DoT damage that cycles between different DoT types, shredding bosses once her passive is stacked for maximum DoT output. Best Trait: Boss Slayer. |
 Cherry (Dancer) | A simple-to-use sub-meta boss killer that works well in both early and late game. Best Trait: Ruler or Assassin. |
 Ancient (Regressor) | Needs a lot of Won for his upgrade/regress mechanic, but scales into huge damage in longer matches. Pairs best with Farm units and is essential for gathering Constellations to build Secret Dreamer. Best Trait: Legend or Swiftness. |
B-tier DPS units
Solid alternatives that hold up in the mid game and specific team setups, but start to fall off in Infinite and the hardest end-game content.
| Unit | Why it ranks here |
|---|---|
 Infernum (Phoenix) | A Burn DPS unit that doubles as a pseudo support by amplifying Burn on enemies for your other Fire types. He is also buffed by nearby Fire units, so he is strong but build-dependent. Best Trait: Limit Break. |
 Jay (Hope) and Yuu (Boxer) | Both are Limited units with similar DPS power. Great for the mid game and early late-game, but they struggle in Infinite and hard end-game modes. Best Trait: Legend. |
 Kim Dakjo (Immortal King) | Has one of the best support abilities in the game with Timestop, which stuns all enemies in range. His passives copy abilities, making him versatile and a decent DPS unit. Best Trait: Legend. |
 Coera Denoir (Noble) | A decent DPS with off-support value from its debuff cleanse. Niche, but not useless. Best Trait: Boss Slayer. |
C-tier DPS units
These fall short in most content. They can be fun, but the numbers or the mechanics hold them back, so they are hard to recommend as damage dealers.
| Unit | Why it ranks here |
|---|---|
 Pildo Gang (Landlord) | A turret-based DPS unit that is fun to play but weak on raw numbers. Best Trait: Limit Break, though investment is not advised. |
 Creator | An interesting unit that doubles buffs but becomes awkward to use later on. Good early. Best Trait: Swiftness. |
Best support units
Support units decide how hard your carries hit. Ha Yora is the standout buffer, layering damage boosts onto your main DPS through Floating Nodes. Several DPS picks like Kim Dakjo and Querasha also double as top-tier support because of their crowd control and passives.
| Unit | Why it ranks here |
|---|---|
| Secret Dreamer (Constellation) | Doubles as top support thanks to full AOE damage, clones that shock for stuns, and a huge crit buff from Terror of the Stars. Best Trait: Legend or Limit Break. |
 Ha Yora (Idol) | A meta support that buffs damage for your main DPS through Floating Nodes. Her skill tree adds extra effects to those nodes, making her a strong long-term investment. |
| Kim Dakjo (Immortal King) | Timestop stuns all enemies in range, and his ability-copying passives let him act as a meta DPS himself. Best Trait: Legend. |
| Querasha (Pestilence) | A support/DPS hybrid and meta boss killer built around her passive. Best Trait: Legend. |
 Violet Grace (Revolution) | One of the best boss supports and part of the boss-killer toolkit, plus strong early DPS on top of her support role. Best Trait: Legend or Limit Break. |
Secondary support units
These fill out a support slot when your S-tier options are still being built, and several are excellent early-game beginner picks.
| Unit | Why it ranks here |
|---|---|
| Infernum (Phoenix) | Burn DPS that supports Fire teams by amplifying Burn on enemies, while being buffed by nearby Fire units. Best Trait: Limit Break. |
| Coera Denoir (Noble) | Decent DPS with an off-support debuff cleanse. Niche but usable. Best Trait: Boss Slayer. |
| Beylord (Mimicry) | Pseudo full-AOE from passive damage, with a decent off-support ability that pairs with Beast and other DPS. Best Trait: Limit Break or Assassin. |
 Andrassa | A strong beginner DPS unit and, more importantly, a useful AOE damage and range buff support. |
 Kyrogias Radgroim and Akryoung | Both are great early-game beginner supports. |
Farm units for economy
Farm units generate the currency that funds heavy investment picks like Ancient. Run one with the Hustler trait to keep your economy flowing during a match.
| Unit | Role |
|---|---|
 Loid (Master) | Economy/Farm unit. Best Trait: Hustler. |
 Mint | Economy/Farm unit. Best Trait: Hustler. |
Best units for beginners
Early on, focus on units that carry runs without heavy investment. Jong Youngha, Kuma, Wraithsinker, and Lee-Joh are strong starting DPS picks, and the Legendary and Epic units in the support tiers above make a balanced first team much easier to hold together.
The fastest path to the top of the meta is building Ancient first, then using his Level 50 and 100 skill-tree abilities to drop Constellations, which you fuse into Secret Dreamer. Back that carry with Ha Yora for buffs and a Farm unit for currency, and you have a team that scales from the early stages into raids and Infinite mode. As the roster and balance shift after launch, these placements will move, so treat the S and A tiers as your safest long-term investments for now.
