How All Star Tower Defense Values Work

One community sheet

ASTD values come from the community value sheet that the official wiki links as the value list. It's a Discord-community artifact, actively maintained by traders who track deals across the community — and our community value list mirrors those reference points so you can check them right next to live listings.

Relative points, not currency

Gems, gold, and Robux can never be placed in a trade, so ASTD has no currency to anchor values to. Value points are purely relative — a way to compare one unit against another — which is why we display them unit-less. A value is a community reference point, not a price. And because only limited units (the ones with a "T" on their inventory slot) are tradeable in the first place, everything the sheet values is a dungeon reward, event prize, leaderboard reward, capsule, code, or retired-banner release — scarcity is baked in before demand even starts.

The tier ladder

• S — the chase units, like Galaxy Girl, Beardcutter, and Death.
• A — strong, in-demand units a step below the top shelf.
• B — the solid middle of the market.
• C — entry-level units, typically sitting around double-digit values.
• Oddities — too unstable to tier; we show them untiered and unvalued in the Other tab.

Demand does the rest

A unit riding a wave of hype can trade above its listed value for weeks; a stale one can sit below it just as long. Legacy status matters here too — limited or retired units whose source is gone can never be obtained again, which caps supply and keeps demand pushing in one direction. Watch what offers a listing actually attracts, not just its number on the sheet.

Manipulation warnings are real

The sheet's own maintainers post manipulation warnings from time to time — groups really do try to pump the units they're holding. If a value looks like it jumped for no reason, cross-check it against live listings and recent trade activity before you trust it.

Put every deal through WFL

Our free Win / Fair / Lose calculator adds up both sides of a trade using the community reference values and tells you at a glance whether you're winning, fair, or losing. It takes seconds, and it's the single easiest habit that separates traders who climb from traders who get climbed on.
