When you venture into the Arena in All Star Tower Defense X, you will encounter two specific terms, namely Rank and ELO. Here’s what they mean:
- Rank: This works similar to other PvP games like Rainbow Six Siege or Valorant. Rank is a standing that you receive based on how many victories you’ve accrued during your playthrough. This resets at the end of every season, thereby keeping the gameplay loop fresh.

How to Win in All Star Tower Defense X PvP Arena
Considering that it’s a PvP setting, it’ll become difficult to win matches if you don’t have a clear plan of what you need to do to survive the longest. Here are a few tips that should help you win matches in All Star Tower Defense X PvP:
- Ban Phase: Before the round starts, you get to ban two units from your opponents pools. Ban the strongest units that they have and you’re good to go. If your opponent has any units that you don’t, they’ll be greyed out for you. You can choose to ban them to level the playing field for you.
- Pick Phase: You get to pick a total of six units before you head into the match. For this, be sure to pick two support units and four DPS units. This is an appropriate combination that should help you win matches easily. Whenever you head into this phase, you should notice a unit modifier over the characters. This modifier boosts your units powers, so be sure to pick DPS units that are affected by this unit modifier.
- Choice of Ability Cards: Once you’ve picked up your units, you get to choose three ability cards. These are single use power-ups that can give you an edge during the battle. It’s best to use this cards towards the later stages of the rounds, especially when you have powerful mobs running around on the battlefield.
- Spawning Enemies: Once you’re in the fight, you get to choose when to spawn units for the enemies. Yes, this costs money, but can often mean that you come out victorious. Additionally, you will also earn income based on the units that you’ve spawned.
- Before you hit wave 10, try to spawn the most expensive units you’ve got at your disposal.
- Post wave 10, spawn units based on how your opponent has placed their units. For example, if they’ve got Hill units, it’s useless to spawn aerial units to attack them.
- Overall, keep an eye on what your enemy cannot counter, and spawn those units only.
- Unit Placement: Since All Star Tower Defense is basically a tower defense game, being able to crowd control attacking mobs is important. So whatever you do, make sure to have enough units which are capable of slowing enemy assault. Because if you’re able to slow them, then you’ve pretty much defended your base from total destruction.
