SpongeBob Tower Defense tier list [UPD 22]

0/4

Updated on July 18th, 2025

When you want to adventure deep underwater and explore Bikini Bottom, you might want to gear up first. Because having some top-tier units is key to defeating the waves of enemies, and our SpongeBob Tower Defense tier list ranks each one!

The whole point of SpongeBob Tower Defense, which admittedly is one of my favourite Roblox experiences (right up there next to Dress to Impress and Adopt Me), is to deploy units to attack the enemies assaulting your base. Each level has a different layout that enemies follow, and if you want to annihilate them before losing all your life, you need to think carefully about each unit's placement.

You can level up the characters, equip them with Traits and even fuse them. But that's not all. Since you want to have the highest chances possible at passing all the levels (or as many as possible in Endless mode), you want to use your best. Which ones are the best? That's what you will discover in the following pages.

Best units in the game

From secret units to Mythics and lower, our SpongeBob Tower Defense tier list compares them all and ranks them accordingly. Be it a limited edition of SpongeBob or an exclusive Squidward, you can find exactly which ones you should try to have on your roster.

Since you can have up to six units (based on your level), I recommend you always try to use those found in the highest tiers. That is, if you have them, of course.

If you like TD games, you might want to check our Ultimate Tower Defense tier list, where we ranked all the best units!

And without further ado, let's dive into this SpongeBob Tower Defense tier list!

1
S tier

Name	Rarity
SpongeHenge	Secret
Cyborg Plankton	Secret
Cosmic Spongebob	Mythic
Broken Squidward	Mythic
Captain Magma	Mythic
Dream Gary	Secret
Handsome Squidward	Legendary
GG Rock SpongeBob	Mythic
SpongeGar	Mythic
Hibernation Sandy	Mythic
The Quickster	Mythic
Snow Mollusk	Legendary
Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen	Mythic
Realistic Fish Head	Mythic
Dirty Dan	Mythic
Krusty Krab	Rare

Handsome Squidward is just a fabulous unit. His attack is AoE, allowing him to hit multiple enemies. Furthermore, it has some CC in the form of Slow, which will help you slow down the enemies he's attacking and thus the wave.

GG Rock SpongeBob is really cool - he plays his guitar and shoots a blue ray at enemies, which basically obliterates everyone. His attack is super high and he is one of the best out there in terms of damage.

Captain Magma is a variation of Squidward, which is insane in terms of pure, flaming damage. Quite literally. He shoots a fire beam at enemies, in a similar way to GG Rock SpongeBob, but it's a lot deadlier (in my experience).

2
A tier

Name	Rarity
Mermaid Man	Mythic
Band Geek Pearl	Legendary
Soaring Starfish	Limited
King Neptune	Mythic
Patty Obsessed Squidward	Epic
Texas Sandy	Epic
Atomic Flounder	Epic
Miss Appear	Legendary
Mermaid Man SpongeBob	Epic
Flying Dutchman	Legendary
Man Ray	Mythic
Pearl	Rare
Larry The Lobster	Epic
Grandma SquarePants	Rare

King Neptune is a good unit that has AoE attacks that can affect a designated spot. His area of attack is pretty high, so it's good to place him in the corners for maximum damage output.

Soaring Starfish is the only Limited unit available right now, and it has kind of a unique style. He can be placed above the enemy path and will drop chocolate bombs on any foes foolish enough to walk underneath.

Mermaid Man SpongeBob is decent, but he feels like the lesser version of Captain Magma. He fires a water beam at the enemies and deals AoE damage to the units in the area.

3
B tier

Name	Rarity
Elastic Waistband	Rare
Mr. Krabs	Legendary
Band Geek Mr. Krabs	Legendary
Band Geek Plankton	Legendary
Tango Karen	Legendary
Plankton	Legendary
Dirty Bubble	Epic
DoodleBob	Legendary
Barnacle Boy Patrick	Uncommon

Barnacle Boy Patrick is the unit that carried me through the first 10 levels with ease. He has decent attack speed, and when he reaches level five, he becomes a reliable unit to deploy multiple times.

Elastic Waistband is also not that great. He is another version of Patrick, and can be placed in corners for maximum damage output. Basically, he spins and deals damage to the enemies in the area.

4
C tier

Name	Rarity
Slappy Laszlo	Rare
Squilliam Fancyson	Rare
Band Geek SpongeBob	Common
Karen	Epic
Band Geek Patrick	Common
Band Geek Squidward	Common
Band Geek Sandy	Rare
Princess Mindy	Epic
Band Geek Mrs. Puff	Common
Baby Prunes	Epic
Old Man Jenkins	Rare
Mrs. Puff	Rare
Bubble Buddy	Rare
Kevin C. Cucumber	Rare
Lord Royal Highness	Rare
Karate SpongeBob	Uncommon
SpongeBob	Common
Gene Scallop	Uncommon
Goofy Goober Waiter	Uncommon
Gary	Common
Squidward	Common
Jim	Uncommon
Bubble Bass	Uncommon
Barnacle Boy	Uncommon
Patrick	Common
Sandy	Common

At the bottom of our SpongeBob Tower Defense tier list, we have units that are not that good in the grand scheme of things. You can use them (if you get them) at the very start, mainly for Act 1, but other than that, it's best you try to obtain the units that are ranked in the A tier or S tier. They lack a lot of attack power and speed, so later on, you won't be able to keep up with killing all the enemy waves.

We've covered other Roblox games pretty extensively - just take a look at ourVolleyball Legends tier list, for example, or our Verse Piece race tier list to learn the best races to choose.
