Build a Dino Defense card colors
The full tier ladder in order, using the colours the game itself uses. Tiers we have seen named are marked as such; the rest are listed by colour only rather than guessed at.

How many cards sit on each colour
Counting every card in the 50-row list splits the six colours 5, 11, 14, 3, 4 and 13. The 33 dinos use green (5), blue (11), purple (14) and orange (3); the four mini-bosses are gold and the 13 bosses are red.
Green is the shortest dino band but not the smallest group, because orange only has three cards. Purple is the widest at 14 rows and covers the longest wave span, from wave 31 to wave 59.
| Colour | Cards | Wave range | Price range | Representative card |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Green | 5 | 1 to 9 | $6 to $26 | Microraptor, wave 7 |
| Blue | 11 | 12 to 29 | $14 to $77 | Pachycephalosaurus, wave 13 |
| Purple | 14 | 31 to 59 | $92 to $740 | Ankylosaurus, wave 37 |
| Orange | 3 | 72 to 86 | $320 to $1,156 | Titanosaurus, wave 86 |
| Gold | 4 | 20 to 80 | $500 to $1,500 | Chompers, wave 20 |
| Red | 13 | 10 to 250 | $900 to $4,000 | Gravemaw, wave 50 |
Where each colour comes from
Green, blue, purple and orange are header bars on the DINOS tab of the Dino Index. Gold and red live on the BOSSES side: gold cards say MINI BOSS, red cards say BOSS. The colour name is this site's label for the bar; the card itself does not print a rarity word.
The shop uses a separate label set. Rare is a blue button, Epic a purple button and Legendary a gold-tan button, and those words belong to Dino Shop and Elite Traps. None of them maps onto the six index colours.
| Colour | Screen | Card label | What the row is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Green, blue, purple, orange | Dino Index, DINOS tab | DINO | One of the 33 dinos |
| Gold | Dino Index, BOSSES tab | MINI BOSS | One of four mini-bosses |
| Red | Dino Index, BOSSES tab | BOSS | One of 13 bosses |
| Rare, Epic, Legendary | Dino Shop and Elite Traps | Button text | Rotating stock, not index cards |
There is no per-card drop table
An index card prints HP, DMG, SPD, price and wave. It does not print a drop rate or a hatch percentage. The only percents on this site are the five Royal Egg rates on the eggs page, and those describe egg outcomes rather than card drops.
Shop stock rotates as well. A row marked x1 Stock can leave after one purchase, so a price belongs to the restock it was filmed in. The counts above stay true only while the 33/33 counter on the index holds.
