Anime Squadron Tier List — Best Units Ranked (SS to D)

This Anime Squadron tier list ranks the best units in the Roblox tower-defense game, from the endgame anchors you should invest everything in down to the starters you should replace as soon as better summons arrive. It reflects the current consensus across the major tier lists: the SS core is stable, while a few mid-tier placements shift between updates, so treat the lower tiers as guidance rather than gospel.

Anime Squadron is a tower-defense game where you summon anime-inspired units, build teams around DPS, support, tank, and farm roles, and push through Story, Raid, and Squadron content. Only Legendary units and above are generally worth long-term investment, with some Epic characters working as supports. Traits matter too — the right trait can lift a good unit a full tier — so the trait ranking is included below.

Anime Squadron Tier List (SS to D)

SS Tier — Endgame anchors. Invest traits, stat rerolls, and Perfect Cubes here first.
Puppeteer (Transcendent), Gometa (SSJ4), Woo (Shadow), Madora (Gunbai), Shanron

Puppeteer (Transcendent) is the standout: a flying unit that works as both DPS and tank, with healing and self-buffs that keep it alive through hard waves. Gometa (SSJ4) is the final evolution of Goki (SSJ4 Full Power) via the Primal Fusion quest — not a direct banner pull — and anchors story waves with scaling DPS and crit scaling. Woo (Shadow) excels in long battles through the Shadow Soldier mechanic and is one of the highest-damage units for Infinite Mode grinding. Madora (Gunbai) deals heavy burn damage and summons meteors with its Ultimate, making it a boss-killer. Shanron brings excellent damage and utility, though its high deployment cost needs planning.

S Tier — Strong progression units for most teams.
Rizzuto (Sage), Vegata (SSJ Full Power), Goki (SSJ4 Full Power), Shinks, Fastwagon

Rizzuto (Sage) is a reliable frontline damage dealer, and Vegata and Goki (both SSJ Full Power) are key steps toward evolving Gometa. Shinks is the best support unit in the game thanks to defensive buffs, damage reduction, and dodge that keep SS carries alive. Fastwagon is the game’s only money unit and is effectively mandatory for economy — even lists that rank it lower for combat still call it essential for farming.

A Tier — Useful units with specialized roles.
Karashi (Sharingan), Shield Hero, Rudaus

Karashi (Sharingan) offers excellent speed and wave-clearing, Shield Hero is a durable tank with damage redirection, and Rudaus provides cooldown reduction support.

B Tier — Solid early-game options.
Big Beard, Mamosa

Big Beard is a decent hybrid damage/tank unit; Mamosa is a healing support that becomes less effective later.

C Tier — Early progression only.
Choi, Tranks, Zaro

Beginner-friendly fillers. Useful while your roster is thin, but replace them as stronger summons arrive.

D Tier — Replace immediately.
Shin, Igras

Starter options with limited usefulness beyond the early game. Treat them as temporary units or evolution material.

Anime Squadron Trait Tier List

Secret units are nothing without decent traits. The consensus trait ranking is:

SS: Superior, Cloner
S: Entrepreneur, Rebirth
A: Lethal, Sniper, Wealthy
B: Knight, Juggernaut
C: Ranger, Powerful
D: Sight, Endure, Tank

Save Trait Shards, Reroll Cubes, Stat Rerolls, and Perfect Cubes until a unit has a long-term role in your lineup. Rerolling traits on a unit you will replace in a week is the most common way new players waste resources.

Who to Prioritize First

If you are unsure where to spend resources, the safest order is: get one believable carry (any SS or S DPS), secure Fastwagon for economy, then add Shinks for support. A team with strong synergy beats a team of unconnected high-rank DPS units, so build around your carry’s needs — bosses want burst (Madora, Gometa, Woo), story waves want sustained DPS and wave clear (Gometa, Karashi), and hard chapters want Shinks keeping everyone alive. Put early Gold into your main carry and account perks before spreading upgrades across every pull.

One note on conflicting lists: a few tier lists rank Rizzuto, Fastwagon, and Shinks lower for raw combat, because they score pure DPS rather than overall value. For progression, the consensus above, which weighs economy and support alongside damage, is the more useful ranking. Tier lists also shift with every balance update, so re-check after major patches.

Frequently Asked Questions
