Best Titans for Every Wave Stage — ST Blockade Battlefront Tier List (May 2026)

How We Ranked Every BBF Titan

ST: Blockade Battlefront has 18 obtainable Titans spread across 4 rarity tiers. This tier list ranks every Titan by three criteria weighted for actual gameplay impact:

All ratings based on solo and team gameplay on standard difficulty. Hard mode may shift some rankings.

S-Tier: Must-Buy Titans

These Titans define the meta. You buy them every run.

Upgraded Titan TV Man — The Late-Game God

The undisputed king of wave 50+. Its screen attack hits every enemy on the map, making it the only Titan capable of handling the massive swarms in ultra-late game. The base Titan TV Man is solid but this upgraded version nearly doubles the AoE radius and damage.

Why it’s S-tier: Without Upgraded TV Man, wave 70+ is nearly impossible on standard difficulty. It’s not optional — it’s a requirement.

Upgraded Titan Cameraman — Boss Melter

From wave 25 onward, bosses gain significant HP pools. Upgraded Titan Cameraman’s lens beam deals sustained single-target damage that shreds bosses faster than any other unit. The upgrade from base Titan Cameraman adds a secondary beam that can target two enemies simultaneously.

Stat comparison vs base:

• Base Cameraman: 45 DPS single target, 350 Cen
• Upgraded Cameraman: 120 DPS dual target, 2,500 Cen (7.1x cost, 2.7x damage — worth every Cen)

Upgraded Titan Speakerman — Crowd Control Carry

The fire rate on Upgraded Speakerman is unmatched. It suppresses medium swarms before they reach your front line, and the sonic blast passive stuns enemies in a small radius every 8 seconds.

A-Tier: Strong Picks, Situational Weakness

Titan Cineman — The Secret Carry

Titan Cineman doesn’t do much damage on its own. What it does is apply a 15% damage vulnerability debuff to all enemies in its spotlight radius. Against wave 60+ bosses with massive HP pools, that 15% effectively adds hundreds of DPS across your entire Titan lineup. It’s a force multiplier that becomes more valuable the later the game goes.

Titan Drill Man & Upgrade — Shield Shredder

From wave 30 onward, shielded enemies start appearing. These enemies take 80% reduced damage from normal attacks unless you have a Titan with armor-piercing properties. Titan Drill Man’s drill attack ignores shields entirely, making it the hard counter. It falls off after wave 60 when AoE clear becomes more important than single-target armor piercing.

B-Tier: Decent But Outclassed

Titan Cameraman (Base) — Best Value in the Game

At 350 Cen, base Titan Cameraman is the most cost-efficient Titan for the first 30 waves. It’s the first Titan you should buy every game. The only reason it’s B-tier is that it falls off hard after wave 30 and the upgrade cost (2,500 Cen for Upgraded Cameraman) is a separate purchase.

Plunger Units — Niche but Fun

Plunger Cameraman and its Jetpack variant are solid mid-game units. The Jetpack version’s mobility lets it reposition to cover multiple lanes, which is useful on maps with split paths. However, by wave 40 their damage output can’t keep up with the Upgraded Titan trio.

C-Tier: Niche Pick, Specific Use Cases

Dark Cameraman — Stealth Wave Insurance

Waves 27, 34, and 42 feature stealthed enemy units that most Titans can’t target. Dark Cameraman reveals stealthed enemies in its radius, making those specific waves significantly easier. Outside those three waves, it’s a below-average unit.

D-Tier: Skip Unless You’re Memeing

These units exist for the first 3 waves of your first ever game and should never be purchased after you have enough Cen for anything else.
