Garden Tower Defense Best Early Game Units

Last updated 2026-09-13

Sort order: Classic Summon drop rate, not power

New players can only realistically pull from the Classic Summon (100 currency for one pull, 900 for ten) — the starter crate that's been in the game since launch. Godly and Exclusive crates aren't a realistic early-game source. This page is sorted by how likely you are to pull each unit, not by how strong it is — see Best DPS or Best Units for strength-based rankings.

Six units confirmed obtainable from the Classic Summon, by drop rate

You'll likely land Farmer within your first few pulls — it's cheap enough to field several copies right away. Bamboo is listed at 10%, roughly 1 in 10 per pull; Broccoli, Watermelon, Peas In A Pod and Sunflower are around 1 in 100. These are the source snapshot rates, not a guarantee of getting a unit after that many attempts. None require a premium crate.

Also worth calling out: Palm Tree (Epic, 4–5% drop rate, max DPS 454, Placement Cost 500) sits between Bamboo and the 1%-tier units — a solid mid-rarity pull with a better-than-1% shot.
