If you wish to learn what the best units are and why you should be using them without spending hours testing them out or watching YouTube showcases, then our Anime Vanguards tier list is for you. Scroll down, and let’s dive in, shall we?
Anime Vanguards Unit Tier List – Update 0.5
Units are ranked relative to their rarity and are first ordered by rarity and then by strength within a tier. Generally, higher rarity units are better as they have higher base stats. However, some, like Vogita Super, have multi-hit on placement, or Haruka, for example, gives other units buffs. For more in-depth explanations, scroll down.
Support & Farm Anime Vanguards Units
- Kaneo Takarada — Takarada is the new legendary farm unit. He is a huge upgrade over Sprintwagon, but Sprintwagon is still better for shorter modes.
- Sprintwagon — Sprintwagon is the best farm unit for short modes. He is simply indispensable on any squad.
- Haruka Rin (Dancer) — Haruka Evo gets another passive that extends the range of other units in her range. The buffs aren’t too crazy, but when applied to several units, they are really good.
- Alligator — Alligator is probably the strongest epic support unit. He applies a virtually permanent 50% slow debuff on enemies, which is huge, especially against bosses. Plus, he doesn’t require much investment compared to Agony.
- Blossom — Blossom cleanses units of debuffs in her range with a 100s cooldown. If you’ve got no units that can sustain stuns on the DD Legend Stages or the Rengoku raid, she can be extremely useful.
- Agony — Agony is a pretty solid support. He has full AoE on placement and knockback on his attacks. However, you need to invest in him a lot to take his SPA down.
- Haruka Rin — Non-evo Haruka Rin is somewhat underwhelming on its own. Still, you’ll need her for her evolution.
- Kinnua — Kinnua knockbacks and stuns enemies with his attacks. He is a bit better than Kokashi but worse than Alligator.
- Kokashi — Kokashi can stun enemies and deal pretty solid damage. However, his attack’s stun is pretty short.
S+ Tier Anime Vanguards Units
- Alocard (Vampire King) — Evo Alocard is one of the strongest units in the game. He has full AoE, bleed, insane range, relatively low SPA, and high base damage. Plus, he can summon units, which are by far better than SJW’s.
- Igros (Elite Knight) — When combined with Evo SJW, Evo Igros comes really close to being the strongest secret in Anime Vanguards. The buffs he gets from SJW are insane, and he buffs SJW, too! Plus, he is full AoE, multi-hit, immune to stun, and has good stats.
- Renguko (Purgatory) — Renguko (Purgatory) is arguably the weakest secret in Anime Vanguards right now. His passive gives him increased DMG if attacking the same enemy, and further buffs burn damage against already burning targets. The biggest downside is that he isn’t full AoE.
- Tengon (Flashiness) — Tengon (Flashiness) has a very good passive that increases DMG and lowers SPA. Plus, he is full AoE, has insane DPS, and a multi-hit attack. He is by far the best mythic in AV.
- Song Jinwu (Monarch) — Evo SJW’s active has been nerfed substantially, but he is still one of the better mythics. He can summon units, has amazing DPS, and has an OP synergy with Igris.
- Cha-In (Blade Dancer) — Evo Cha-In is one of the best mythics in the game. She dodges and counters enemy attacks, has increased crit, and her DPS and range are excellent. Plus, she outperforms Evo Igros and Evo Alocard in all short modes.
- Vogita Super (Awakened) — Evo Vogita Super has been buffed and is now among the best mythics. Mostly because he is cheap to place and upgrade, and his multi-hit is excellent for dealing with shields. Plus, his passive makes him extra useful against bosses.
S Tier Anime Vanguards Units
- Alocard — Alocard is strong, even non-evo, with bleed, full AoE, and amazing range. He might even be the best non-evo unit for Infinite in Anime Vanguards.
- Renguko — Renguko has burn on placement, which is extremely useful against shields. He also gets a cone AoE attack on upgrade 2. He is pretty good as a starter unit or shield shredder.
- Akazo (Destructive) — Akazo (Destructive)’s active gives him stun immunity and increased stats, which is really useful on some stages. Also, he has a line attack that triggers at range and okayish DPS. Still, other mythics seem to outperform it.
- Sosuke (Storm) — Evo Sosuke is a pretty good support mythic. He can stun enemies and deal increased damage to them. His stun also got a buff recently, making him extra viable.
- Obita (Awakened) — Evo Obita has solid DPS and burn but doesn’t have the utility to match SJW or Cha-In. Still, he is pretty strong as a pure DPS and shield breaker.
- Vogita Super — Vogita Super has a solid passive that lowers its SPA if only Vogita units are in range. He is pretty good as a zero upgrades starter and shield breaker, especially for challenges.
- Cha-In — Cha-In is among the best non-evo mythics. Her crit passive and cone AoE attack that shreds shields are simply amazing for any game mode.
- Akazo — Akazo has a line AoE attack when maxed out, multi-hit on placement, very good range, and solid DPS. His passive reduces stun duration and other debuffs applied by enemies by 33%, which isn’t that useful. However, it also increases his DMG when he receives an attack.
A Tier Anime Vanguards Units
- Igros — Non-evo Igros is pretty strong as a stat stick, but you’ll really need to evolve him to make him OP.
- Noruto (Six Tails) — Evo Naruto is among the worst Evo mythic, mostly because of its trash passives. However, it’s still a solid pick due to its high raw stats, and it even got buffed recently.
- Song Jinwu — Non-evo Song Jinwu is pretty mediocre stats-wise, but his passive is good, and he has multi-hit on placement. Plus, his evolution is one of the most meta units in Anime Vanguards.
- Tengon — Tengon has a cone AoE multi-hit attach and okayish DPS. He also gets dodge in its passive, which is useful against bosses that can stun.
- Sosuke (Hebi) — Sosuke is among the worst non-evo mythics. His SPA, DMG, and range are all pretty meh.
- Obita — Obita has a somewhat weak passive for a mythic. Plus, his placement and upgrade costs are really high, making him a suboptimal choice compared to other non-evo mythics.
B Tier Anime Vanguards Units
- Noruto (Sage) — The correct placement of Noruto (Sage) is super important if you want to make use of his passive. However, even with it active, he is pretty mediocre compared to other mythics.
- Kinaru — Kinaru’s passive might seem like it’s more of a debuff than a buff, but the stun immunity part is OP against some story bosses. Plus, he has multi-hit on placement, and his overall DPS isn’t bad at all.
- Itochi — Itochi has the best burn of all sub-mythic units, and his DPS is really solid. You can use him to deal with shields if you’ve got nothing else.
- Bean — Bean has a multi-hit attack and bleed. He is one of the best legendaries you can use because he shreds through shields, has good range, and solid DPS.
- Roku (Dark) — Roku (Dark) is a pretty solid legendary. His passive allows him to execute non-boss enemies, which makes him useful even on zero upgrades and harder difficulties. Plus, his DPS is really good.
- Genas — Genas deals solid burn damage, and his passive allows him to attack much faster. He is the ultimate epic shield shredder.
- Gaari — Gaari’s SPA can get really low due to his passive, making him a solid option for shredding shields. However, he doesn’t have bleed like Genas.
C Tier Anime Vanguards Units
- Goi — All legendaries have their use, and Goi’s is pure DPS. He gets increased DMG the more enemies are in his range, and he can also dodge enemy attacks, which is useful against bosses.
- Grim Wow — Grim Wow is one of the best legendaries for dealing with bosses because of his passive. However, his range and DPS aren’t that impressive, making him one of the worst overall mythics on this Anime Vanguards tier list.
- Inosake — Inosake has bleed and fairly low SPA, making him a viable pick if you’ve got nothing else that can deal with shields.
- Shinzi — Shinzi has very good DPS due to his passive. However, he doesn’t have any other useful bonuses.
- Pickleo — Pickleo is one of the best epic DPSs and his range is amazing. Plus, he can take down shields with his multihit attack.
- Sosuke — Sosuke can apply a pretty solid burn and is good even on zero upgrades. He is probably the only rare unit worth using.
D Tier Anime Vanguards Units
- Genitsu — Genitsu is by far the worst epic unit. He doesn’t have enough DPS or utility to compete with the others.
- Roku — Roku is one of the strongest rare units for the early game. He has good DPS and a passive that can increase his attack by up to 42%.
- Rukio — Rukio probably has the highest DPS of all rare units in Anime Vanguards. The only downside is its small attack AoE.
- Joe — Joe does have a solid passive, but other rare units are still better.
- Ichiga — Ichiga has a pretty weak attack and a fairly bad passive that just gives him a 20% DMG increase.
- Jon — Jon is arguably the worst rare unit in the game because his passive will simply never ramp up. Just don’t use him.
- Vogita — Vogita is mediocre, even among rare units. There are better rares you can use.
- Noruto — Noruto’s passive is really bad. The only thing that is good about him is that his upgrades are cheap.
- Luffo — Luffo is basically the same as Ichiga, though he gets range instead of DMG on his passive.
- Sanjo — Sanjo is one of the worst rare units. Both his stats and his passive are just bad.
