I feel like the Smurf attack could be considered multi-tier since it uses multiple devices to amplify the attack, but I'm not confident.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about SYN floods being more about overwhelming a single point rather than multi-tiered.

I think a DDoS attack is a multi-tier attack because it involves multiple systems targeting a single victim.
