How to Get Units in Universal Tower Defense
Getting characters requires gems, which you spend in the summoning area. The game gives you free gems through codes and daily rewards, so make sure to collect those regularly. Here’s the step-by-step process to summon new units:
- Click the Areas button on the left side of your screen.
- Then fast travel to the Summon area to see the current banner.
- You’ll have two choices: 1x Summon costs 50 gems, or 10x Summons costs 500 gems.
The banner rotates different characters in and out, so check back often. When you see powerful units appear, that’s when you want to spend your gems. Don’t blow all your resources on every single banner.
Now that you know all the units in Universal Tower Defense, plus their abilities, you can build smarter teams. Start with whatever units you pull early on, even if they’re just basic Rare characters. As you collect gems and do more summons, replace them with Epic and Legendary units.
Focus on getting at least one support unit, because they can make your whole team stronger by buffing damage or making extra money. Then, add damage dealers who can actually kill enemies effectively.
