Choosing the best mythic unit in Cameraman Tower Defense (developed by Aligators Games on Roblox) depends on whether you value maximum raw damage, crowd-clearing capability, or cash efficiency. The highest damage ceiling belongs to the TV Spider at 10,000 AoE DPS from the Spider Crate, while the Upgraded Brute Prototype leads the standard coin-banner mythics with 9,000 AoE DPS. Players focusing on budget runs or story clears often lean toward the Glitch Cameraman for cheap upgrades or the TV Woman for early-game burn damage.
Below is the verified performance data taken directly from the in-game Index and community match testing.
Mythic Unit Stat Comparison
The following table compares the mythic units currently available in Cameraman Tower Defense, including their max damage output, attack style, cash requirements, and summon source:
| Unit | Max DPS | Attack Type | Cash to Max | Source & Acquisition Odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TV Spider | 10,000 | AoE | Varies (Cheaper than Cinemaman) | Spider Crate (0.2% pull, 100 gems per pull) |
| Upgraded Brute Prototype | 9,000 | AoE (Late level) | 41,000 | Basic Coin Summon (0.1% Mythic slot) / Paid Pack |
| Upgraded Video Tapper Prototype | 7,500 | Single Target | 21,000 | Basic Coin Summon (0.1% Mythic slot) / Paid Pack |
| Titan Cinemaman | 7,000 | AoE | 40,000 | Basic Coin Summon (0.1% Mythic slot) |
| Glitch Cameraman | 6,000 | Single Target | 13,500 | Basic Coin Summon (0.1% Mythic slot) / Paid Pack |
| Upgraded Titan Speakerman | 5,000 | AoE / Dual Attack | ~20,000 | Basic Coin Summon (0.1% Mythic slot) |
| TV Woman | 4,000 | AoE (Burning) | Mid-range | Woman Crate (2% drop rate from crate) |
Note: In-game Index cards verify base-to-max scaling. In-match testing indicates the Upgraded Brute Prototype starts as a single-target unit dealing 400 DPS and only unlocks wide AoE on its final tier upgrades.
Top Mythic Units Ranked by Combat Role
1. TV Spider (Highest Overall Damage)
The TV Spider boasts the single highest damage stat recorded in the Index at 10,000 AoE DPS.
- Strengths: Unmatched area damage that shreds crowded lanes.
- Limitations: Its card displays a range of 40, but player testing shows this represents its walking distance; actual attack reach measures 20.
- Acquisition Cost: Obtained exclusively from the Spider Crate at a 0.2% drop rate. At 100 gems per try, pulling a TV Spider takes an average of 500 attempts (50,000 gems).
2. Upgraded Brute Prototype (Best Coin-Banner AoE Carry)
The Upgraded Brute Prototype delivers 9,000 DPS at max level (3,600 damage on a 0.4-second attack cooldown) with full area-of-effect splash.
- Strengths: Capable of clearing dense late-game enemy clusters that overwhelm single-target towers.
- Limitations: Placement costs 1,500 cash and deals only 400 single-target DPS initially. Full upgrades cost 41,000 cash, with late upgrades costing 11,000 and 16,000 cash. Players can place up to 4, but funding multiple maxed units is difficult outside of long or economy-heavy runs.
3. Titan Cinemaman (Most Reliable Story Mode Carry)
Titan Cinemaman scales from 500 base DPS (1,000 damage every 2 seconds) up to 7,000 DPS (1,400 damage on a 0.2-second cooldown) with range expanding from 13 to 30.
- Strengths: In recorded testing of 20 Insane difficulty clears, Titan Cinemaman appeared in five winning teams—more than any other standard mythic. Its sustained AoE damage and shield-piercing utility make it a proven late-game anchor.
- Limitations: It requires 40,000 cash to max out.
4. Upgraded Video Tapper Prototype (Top Boss Puncher)
For high single-target burst, the Upgraded Video Tapper Prototype reaches 7,500 DPS (roughly 1,500 damage every 0.2 seconds) with a long-range emerald laser beam.
- Strengths: At 21,000 cash to fully upgrade, it provides higher DPS and greater range than the Glitch Cameraman, making it ideal for burning down isolated high-HP bosses.
- Limitations: Lacks splash damage to control wide enemy mobs.
5. Glitch Cameraman (Best Budget Mythic)
The Glitch Cameraman is the most economical mythic to max out in standard matches.
- Strengths: Reaches 6,000 single-target DPS on a rapid 0.2-second cooldown for only 13,500 total cash. It hits 1,000 damage per hit by level 3, giving players strong mid-game tempo before high-tier income rolls in.
- Limitations: Pure single-target focus limits its utility against dense mob clusters.
6. TV Woman (Best Early-to-Mid Game Wave Clear)
TV Woman drops as the rarest unit from the match-reward Woman Crate (2% drop).
- Strengths: Deals 4,000 AoE DPS and inflicts burn status effects over time. Players can place up to 6 of them, allowing early-wave shredding on Insane difficulty without requiring immediate heavy upgrade investments.
- Limitations: Struggles against massive late-stage bosses (such as wave 50 bosses with over 1,080,000 HP) when used without heavy single-target support.
How to Obtain Mythic Units
Mythics in Cameraman Tower Defense are distributed across three distinct systems:
-
The Basic Summon Crate (Coins):
- The lobby summon banner rotates its unit pool roughly every 10 to 30 minutes.
- The Mythic slot features a 0.1% base pull rate (1 in 1,000 pulls). One summon costs 100 coins, while a 10-pull costs 900 coins. On average, pulling a specific mythic from the banner requires around 90,000 coins.
- Rotating mythics include Titan Cinemaman, Upgraded Titan Speakerman, Glitch Cameraman, Upgraded Brute Prototype, and Upgraded Video Tapper Prototype.
-
The Spider Crate (Gems):
- Located in the shop, costing 100 gems per pull (or 1,000 gems for 10).
- Contains the TV Spider at a 0.2% drop rate, alongside Camera Spider (3,500 DPS, 35 range) and Speaker Spider (500 DPS).
- Gems are earned by completing daily quest boards (which unlock after 20 wins and grant up to 20 gems per board, refreshing twice daily for 40 total gems per day) or purchased with Robux.
-
The Woman Crate (Match Drop Only):
- Cannot be purchased with coins. It drops exclusively upon clearing a match: 2% on Easy, 4% on Normal, 6% on Hard, and 10% on Insane.
- Opening the crate yields Dark Camerawoman (78%), Speakerwoman (20%), or TV Woman (2%).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the strongest mythic unit in Cameraman Tower Defense by raw DPS?
The TV Spider holds the highest raw damage stat in the Index at 10,000 AoE DPS. Among coin-banner mythics, the Upgraded Brute Prototype is the strongest with 9,000 AoE DPS at max level.
Is Glitch Cameraman better than Titan Cinemaman?
They serve different roles. Glitch Cameraman is a single-target unit costing only 13,500 cash to max for 6,000 DPS, making it far cheaper and faster to deploy. Titan Cinemaman costs 40,000 cash to max but deals 7,000 AoE DPS, making it significantly better at wiping entire enemy waves.
Can you get the Upgraded Brute Prototype without Robux?
Yes. While it is sold in a 1,000 Robux shop banner bundle alongside the Glitch Cameraman and Video Tapper Prototype, all three rotate through the Basic Summon Crate's 0.1% mythic slot and can be summoned using standard coins.
How do you get TV Woman?
TV Woman is obtained exclusively by opening Woman Crates, which drop from match victories (a 10% drop chance on Insane difficulty). Inside the Woman Crate, TV Woman has a 2% pull rate.
