Update 3 — Tower Mastery (May 2, 2026)
Noob Tower Defense Update 3 launched on May 2, 2026, announced by Vitan developer ilana in the official NTD Discord #announcements with "Our update is in: 4 hours" at 11:37 UTC. The update went live at approximately 16:00 UTC.
The headline feature is Tower Mastery — a per-tower progression system that rewards players for specialising in specific units. The more you use a tower across runs, the more mastery it accumulates, unlocking permanent stat bonuses for that unit.
What Tower Mastery means for your strategy: Mastery rewards long-term commitment to specific units. Focus mastery on your S-tier carry (Juggernaut or King) and your top support (Veteran) first. See the full Tower Mastery guide.
