Best Units By Job

Late-game carry Gogeta SSJ4 / Moa / Goku Prioritize units that solve bosses, waves, raids, and long route requirements.
Starter progress Goku / Kakashi / Naruto Use the unit that clears story and material stages consistently before chasing secrets.
Economy Speed Wagon Economy gets ranked by upgrade pacing, not screenshot damage.
Route pieces Vegeta / Goku / Moa Some units are valuable because they unlock evolution or special quest progress.
Wait before spending Sung Jin Woo / Zoro Keep them in mind, but do not burn rare resources until they clearly beat your current carry plan.

Ranking Notes

Wait Before Spending

What Actually Makes A Unit Good

Anime Squadron is a lane-defense grind with summons, upgrades, evolutions, bosses, raids, and long wave pushes. Raw damage is nice, but the real stars are units that help you clear more modes with less pain.

  • Early-game usefulness
  • Late-game scaling
  • Boss and wave performance
  • Upgrade cost and availability
  • Trait synergy and reroll value
  • Evolve or awaken difficulty
  • Mode value across story, raids, infinite waves, and repeat farming
  • How the unit feels after recent updates

How To Read The Tiers

  • S tier units are the ones you can build around instead of constantly replacing.
  • A tier units make progression faster, even when they are not pure damage monsters.
  • B tier units can carry parts of the game, but they should not eat your rarest items first.
  • C tier units are fine as early fillers while you build toward stronger pieces.
  • Hold units are exciting names, but the smart move is to wait before spending expensive rerolls or evolution items on them.
