The House TD 2 tier list: 2026 Meta Picks by Role

This The House TD 2 tier list is designed for the game’s early progression environment as of August 18, 2026. It focuses on what helps players clear floors, farm coins, earn Voodoo Tokens, and build reliable teams rather than assigning every unit a permanent rank.

The available guidance points to a role-based approach. Kitty and Skully are especially useful for new players, while stronger damage units such as Judicator, Iron Saint, and Annabelle become more relevant for difficult farming routes. Because the game is still developing, treat these rankings as practical recommendations rather than fixed rules.

Video Highlights:

• Early progression priorities and starter unit recommendations
• Reliable coin farming with Floor 1, Room 1
• Equipment, curses, factions, and stronger Floor 4 farming
• Why team quality depends on both units and upgrades

The most important distinction is between starter value and endgame value. Kitty can be excellent at the beginning because she is accessible and inexpensive to place. That does not automatically mean she is the strongest unit for every late-game map. Likewise, a rare unit may perform poorly without a suitable curse, equipment loadout, or faction bonus.

A useful tier list for The House TD 2 should separate units by function. A low-cost starter, a single-target boss killer, and an area-damage carry solve different problems. The table below prioritizes the roles directly supported by current progression and farming strategies.

S Tier: Kitty and Skully

Kitty is one of the best early priorities because she is available as a group reward and can be placed cheaply. Her speed makes her useful when starting with limited cash, especially on maps where the first waves must be handled without expensive upgrades.

Skully is valuable for a different reason. The recommended Floor 1, Room 1 setup uses a small number of Skully placements, followed by concentrating upgrades into one unit. This makes the route easy to repeat and suitable for players who are still learning placement timing.

A Tier: Floor 4 Carries

Judicator and Iron Saint are highlighted as practical choices for a stronger Floor 4, Room 4 farming method. This route takes longer than the safest beginner loop but gives more coins per completion when the player has enough damage and range.

These units should not be judged only by base rarity. Their value improves when paired with useful curses, appropriate equipment, and a layout that lets them attack enemies consistently.

Situational Tier: Annabelle and Economy Units

Annabelle can be useful, but her value depends on the player’s current roster and available resources. She should not automatically replace a proven farming unit simply because she is available from a limited summon or urn.

Economy units can also look weaker on a damage chart while improving the entire team’s resource flow. Consider them when a map is already safe and the main objective is increasing coins or tokens per hour.

The safest progression path is to establish a reliable starter team before spending heavily on summons, rare equipment, or curse rerolls. Early consistency matters because coins and Voodoo Tokens are both limited during the first stages.

A beginner should avoid spending all resources on summons before establishing a repeatable farming loop. The strongest account is not necessarily the one with the rarest unit; it is the one that can reliably generate the resources needed for future upgrades.

Units in The House TD 2 gain much of their practical value from customization. Equipment can improve attack speed, range, damage, or reward generation, while curses act as powerful trait-style upgrades. This means a lower-ranked unit with a strong setup may outperform an unoptimized higher-ranked unit.

The most important upgrade categories are:

• Attack speed: Useful for units that rely on frequent attacks.
• Damage: Better for boss-focused or single-target carries.
• Range: Helps units cover more doors and attack enemies earlier.
• Reward boosts: Valuable when farming repeatedly.
• Faction bonuses: Improve teams built around a dominant faction.

The Boogie Bag is particularly attractive for players who farm coins frequently, although it is difficult to obtain. It comes from the Bone Crate at a very low chance, so newer players should usually improve their main team before pursuing it.

Curses require more planning. Rolling consumes Voodoo Tokens, and additional curse slots become increasingly expensive. If you lock a curse slot, later slots require the same curse type to continue improving that line. Avoid rolling aggressively when your team still lacks the damage needed for the next floor.

Faction selection is based on team composition. A roster with three or more units from one faction can represent that faction, while a mixed roster may fall into the Omni faction. Choose the tree that matches your actual team instead of investing in a bonus you cannot consistently activate.

Farming efficiency depends on the balance between speed, reward value, and failure risk. The easiest route is not always the most profitable, but it can be the best choice when a player lacks strong units or wants a setup that runs reliably.

Floor 1, Room 1

Floor 1, Room 1 on Normal mode is the recommended beginner coin route. A compact Kitty or Skully setup can complete the map with minimal placement and upgrade input. With a coin multiplier, the route becomes more efficient, but it remains useful without premium boosts.

Floor 2 Routes

Floor 2 is important when Voodoo Tokens become a priority. Floor 2, Room 1 takes longer than the first beginner route but adds token progression. Players should use it when they need both resources rather than maximizing coins alone.

Floor 4, Room 4

Floor 4, Room 4 is a higher-value route for players with stronger units. A documented setup using Judicator and Iron Saint takes roughly two and a half minutes per clear under a fast-speed, auto-skip configuration and produces a larger coin payout than the beginner route. Actual results depend on team strength and successful clears.

For difficult maps, area damage is especially valuable because auto-skip can create dense enemy waves. Units with sufficient range and coverage should be placed where they can attack enemies across multiple doors or lanes.

Use this loadout order:

1. Place low-cost units that can cover the first wave.
2. Add a second damage source before the next major animation or door opening.
3. Maximize the unit with the safest firing position.
4. Add area damage or range coverage for later waves.
5. Keep enough cash available for the boss instead of spending every coin early.
