Anime Squadron Tier List
If you are wondering who deserves your gems, rerolls, and evolution grind, start here. The best units are the ones that make clears easier now and still matter later.
Build Order
Goku
Best early anchor because Goku helps with starter progress, awakening, story farming, and the Gogeta SSJ4 route.
EconomySpeed Wagon
Build when upgrade cost slows clears; economy value matters more than damage during long repeat farms.
Bridge DPSMoa
A high-value secret bridge once you can repeat its farm; evolved Moa can make the road to Gogeta feel much less punishing.
Route pieceVegeta
Worth building when Gogeta SSJ4 progress is realistic because Vegeta is tied to awaken and special route work.
Late payoffGogeta SSJ4
The huge late-game payoff, but gated behind raids, infinite waves, awakened units, and special quest steps.
Best Units By Job
Ranking Notes
Gogeta SSJ4
S tier because Gogeta SSJ4 is the kind of late-game unit you plan an account around, not a side project you casually chase.
A tierGoku
A tier because Goku helps right away and keeps mattering when evolution and Gogeta SSJ4 prep enter the plan.
B tierVegeta
B tier because Vegeta matters more as a route piece than as the unit that carries your whole account by itself.
B tierKakashi
B tier because Kakashi feels good and fast, but it should not jump ahead of the big route units.
A tierMoa
A tier because Moa can bridge the gap between early carries and the brutal late-game route.
A tierSpeed Wagon
A tier because economy can change the whole pace of a run. More money means faster upgrades and cleaner repeat clears.
C tierZoro
C tier because Zoro is fine as early filler, not a long-term priority target.
B tierNaruto
B tier because Naruto can help as an evolved sub-DPS, but the bigger route units still come first.
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.
