Anime Story 2 Tier List (October 2026): Best Units Ranked
Looking for the best units in Anime Story by focusing on Anime Story 2 Tier List? One important note first: the live game is now Anime Story 2, a full re-release by Anime Story Lab. This tier list ranks the Anime Story 2 meta as of October 2026.
Anime Story 2 keeps the turn-based anime gacha combat of the original but rebuilds progression around deeper systems: Traits with rerolls, Ascension up to level 300, multi-stage Evolutions, Leader skills, craftable Relics, Raids, and Towers. The roster carries over reworked originals plus new Ascended and Evo forms.
We compared the AS2 wiki, Destructoid, Roonby, and several October 2026 tier lists to build these rankings. Tiers reflect end-game value across story, towers, and raids.
Anime Story 2 Tier List: S Tier: Best Units
These are the meta-defining units. If you pull one, build around it.
| Unit | Role | Why it ranks here |
|---|---|---|
| Mazara (Storyteller / Ascended) | DPS | Strongest consensus pick everywhere. Buffs ninja allies by 20% and stacks AoE that wipes whole teams. |
| Slime (Demon) | DPS / Support | Best overall hybrid. Grants +50% Water damage and applies unremovable Black Flames that raise enemy damage taken. |
| Sound Breather Master | DPS | Top pure DPS for Nature Tower and end-game story. Enormous damage ceiling. |
| Kaizen (Ascended) | DPS | Stuns 3 enemies on round 1 and opens with +200% damage. Auto-include for raids, towers, and bosses. |
| Asota (Devil) | DPS | CC-immune hybrid. Attacks twice on round 1, gains +25% damage per kill, and heals allies on kills. |
| Majestic Vampire | DPS | Crit-stacking secret unit with Time Stop and an AoE stun. The best Tower DPS. |
| Dark Swordsman (Ascended) | DPS | Best Nature Tower DPS. Bleed doubles on burning targets, plus dodge and counter. |
| Ant King | DPS | Poison-stacking boss killer that marks all enemies for +20% team-wide damage. |
| Vampire Brandon | DPS | Tanky crit DPS with bleed-triggered self-heals. Found through the Bizarre portal. |
| Shadow Ninja (Ascended) | DPS | Reflects the strongest incoming enemy attack once per battle. Meta DPS with a unique safety net. |
| Flame Lion | DPS / Leader | Doubles all Burn and Black Flame team damage. Mandatory leader for any DoT team. |
A Tier: Strong Units Worth Building
A tier units clear almost everything. Most fall just short of S tier on damage ceiling or consistency.
| Unit | Role | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Yono (Star) | Support | Premier healer whose own damage rivals pure DPS units. |
| Jolios (King) | Support | Revives once and opens by freezing all enemies. A Tower 1700+ staple. |
| Raven (Red) | Tank | 25% dodge plus counter. The best overall tank. |
| Black Bull | Tank | Survives a lethal hit at 1 HP and leads with +15% crit for your top DPS. |
| Devil Cyborg (Meltdown) | DPS | Detonates for 400% AoE below 50% HP. A Fire-team staple. |
| Shadow Knight | DPS | Story and grinding monster with mark-refresh attacks. Not end-game meta. |
| Reaper (Bankai) | DPS | Huge RNG AoE potential. Excellent in Tower, inconsistent elsewhere. |
| Crimson King | DPS | Massive AoE burst farmer who also damages your own team, so pair with a healer. |
| Cursed Robot | DPS / Tank | Hybrid whose clones explode for 30% damage when killed. |
| Killer (Rebirthed) | DPS | Top Fire DPS with bomb marks and a once-per-battle death avoid. |
| White Lotus (Haze) | DPS | Freeze DPS dealing +50% damage to enemies below 40% HP. |
| Dior | Leader | Maid leader granting +30% Maid damage. Pairs with White Lotus (Maid). |
| Maid Dior | Support | Strong team-wide buffs for Maid compositions. |
| Sussyke | DPS | 100% Burn for 300% damage. Belongs on every Flame Lion burn team. |
| Youji (Flash) | DPS | Beginner-friendly Evo with chaining Black Flash crits. |
| Gojin | Support | Doubles all DoT effects. Every DoT team wants one. |
| Destruction | Support | Grants +30% damage to Dark allies. |
| Tatsumaki | Support | Grants +30% damage to Nature allies. A Nature Tower staple. |
| Wandering Mage | Support | Cleanses debuffs from allies. |
| Greatest Maid | Support | Team-wide sustain for long Tower and raid runs. |
B and C Tier Units
B tier units work for mid-game and specific teams but get outclassed at end-game: Greed (Fox), Acu, Wrath (Fury), Battle Maniac, Roku (Rose), 23rd Magic Emperor, Ultimate Warrior, Pride (Sun), Super Roku, Agony, Sosuke, Youji, Boo, Oni King, Shiny Wrath, Vogita (Blue), Aura Farmer.
C tier units are outclassed or too niche for serious investment: Anti Hero, Bald, Time Angel, Sloth, Dark Assassin, Ethereal Archer, Soul Guardian, Lust, Levan, Xoro, Shinube, Ruki, Vogita, Titan, Silent King (Requiem), White Lotus (Hero), Shiny Roku (Black).
Do not feed S or A tier units to upgrade lower tiers. B tier units can fill gaps while you wait for better pulls.
Best Units by Role
Best DPS: Mazara (Storyteller) for raw output, Sound Breather Master for Nature Tower, Majestic Vampire for Tower climbing.
Best supports: Yono (Star) for healing, Jolios (King) for control, Gojin and Flame Lion for DoT teams.
Best tanks: Raven (Red) overall, Black Bull for crit-team pairings.
Team building matters as much as raw tiers. A burn team with Flame Lion, Sussyke, and Gojin outperforms a pile of unconnected S tiers. Check our Anime Ascendants tier list and Blox Fruits tier list if you play other Roblox battlers.

How We Ranked These Tiers
We cross-referenced the AS2 wiki, Destructoid, Roonby, and October 2026 tier lists, weighting end-game performance across story, towers, and raids over early-game ease.
Sources disagree on a few units. Slime (Demon) ranges from S to A depending on the list, Ant King sits anywhere from top tier to high A, and Shadow Knight drops out of end-game meta on stricter lists. We placed them by majority consensus.
The meta shifts with every update. New Ascended forms and balance patches move units between tiers, so check back after major patches. For genre context, our gaming statistics for 2026 track how big Roblox battlers have become.
