The ASTD X Update 2 new units bring fresh excitement and collection goals for players of All Star Tower Defense X. This batch includes seven unique characters, each with distinct acquisition methods—not all available through standard banners. Understanding where and how to obtain these units is essential, as several are event-exclusive and may not return in future updates.
What Are the New Units in ASTD X Update 2?
ASTD X Update 2 introduces seven new units, each tied to different game systems and events. Players need to participate actively in banners, trials, and special event features to collect them all. Here is a breakdown of each unit and the method to obtain it:

How to Maximize Your Chances for Exclusive Units
Because several units in ASTD X Update 2 are event-limited or have a capped supply, it’s important to:
-
Regularly check all banners (X and Y) for rotation schedules.
-
Collect fireworks daily and exchange them quickly to avoid missing out due to limited stocks.
-
Prioritize completing the new Trial and claiming Summer Box rewards before the event ends.
-
Keep an eye on news boards or official channels for any updates or changes to drop rates or unit availability.
Missing these opportunities may mean waiting for months—or longer—for a chance to get some of these units again, if ever.
Final Thoughts
The ASTD X Update 2 new units represent a mix of banner exclusives, evolution upgrades, event rewards, and trial challenges. By following each method—whether it’s through the Firework System, Summer Box, Banner rotations, or special Trials—players can collect all seven before the event ends. Be proactive in checking event cycles and redeeming rewards, as many of these units may not return once the event concludes. This update is a must-play for collectors and meta chasers alike, so don’t miss out on any limited-time opportunities.
