Updated on August 13, 2025: Added all new units and heavily re-ranked the tier list according to the new meta. Also added best traits for all units.
The best units in Anime Final Strike depend on which role you're looking to fill. You need to have ground, hill, and air DPSs as well as supporting and farm units. That's why I'll structure this tier list according to those three categories as well as showing you the best starter units. Here's my Anime Final Strike tier list and guide.

Anime Final Strike Unit Tier List
Here are the best units in Anime Final Strike for progression and Raids/Infinite including base versions and Evolutions. Note that units are also ranked within their categories left to right. You'll also find more info, tips and explanations for best units below. I won't talk much about Yuneko+Evo and Namu since they're the only farm units and you should always include one in any team. Also note that I'm assuming you're rolling the best stats you can with Perfect Stat Engrams. I'll show you how to farm them along with Gems and Traits below the tier list.
DPS Highlights
This list includes the best DPS units in Anime Final Strike that you should always go for. Vejita, Roku, Arrow and Ichiru Masked are great beginner options to go for since they're great starters and later have amazing Evolutions for end-game. Also, keep in mind the Hybrid & Air DPS units which are:
- Akoza & Evolution starting at Upgrade 5
- Vejita & Evolution
- Sasoke & Evolution
- Naroto & Evolution starting at Upgrade 3
- Vesh Evolution
- Vasto Lorde
- Enorai
- Sogo King
- Naroto's 2nd Evo
- Fire Hashira
- Minato at Upgrade 6
- Kaziru
- Roku Black
- Roku
| Unit | Notes & Best Trait |
|---|---|
 Vasto Lorde Secret |
• The best Dark Elemental damage in the game and overall one of the best DPS units • Unlike Vesh who is a Secret base and Evolution you can get Vasto Lorde from the Ichiru Mythic • The best unit in the game to get the Emperor Trait on for a single powerful placement. • Massive AOE damage • Best Trait: Emperor |
  Vesh Secret |
• Best Light damage in the game and the second most powerful DPS overall due to flexibility • Can be both Physical and Magical • Also great with Emperor or The One trait • Either Vesh or Vasto Lorde are a must-have for Raids/Infinite • Best Trait: Emperor or The One |
  Benomaru & Evo Secret |
• While the base Secret is good the Crimson Commander Evo is currently a Meta DPS and one of the best damage units in Anime Final Strike • Emperor is a must-have but Frenzy is also good if you're already using Emperor on Vasto Lorde or Vesh • Best Trait: Emperor or Frenzy |
 Super Roku Evo Mythic |
• The base Roku is already a great starter but Super Roku EVO is in my personal opinion a meta DPS up there in the ranks of Secrets • If you don't have secrets yet then just slap Emperor on this one and it'll carry you in all modes • Best Trait: Emperor or Frenzy |
 Black Roku Evo Mythic |
• Both the base Legendary Black Roku and the Black Roku Rose evo are great units for two different things • The base Black Roku is an amazing starter unit • The Rose Evo version is in my opinion a meta DPS similar to Super Roku Evo • I wouldn't necessarily use Emperor as a trait here since there are better options but The One is pretty good • Best Trait: The One or Frenzy |
  Vejita & His Evolutions Mythic |
• The best Burst/Nova damage Mythic • The base version of Vejita is great for beginners and overall a strong starter • Then the Evolutions also carry you into the late game and Raids/Infinite • Vejita Magin is stronger than Vejita Super Ascended but takes grinding • Hybrid/Air DPS • Best Trait: The One |
  Arrow & Evo Mythic |
• Arrow is my favorite Fire Force Mythic due to how great of a starter the base version is • Also, it can deal some great damage so overall the Fire Force Mythics are all really good • Best Trait: Berserk |
  Arthor & Shinra Mythics |
• While lower on the S-Tier line both Arthor and Shinra are excellent sustained DPS units for all modes • I prefer Arrow due to the starter potential but once you Evo these they can do some great damage-per-second • Best Trait: Both work really well with Frenzy |
 Minato Evolution Mythic |
• You can get the base Minato via Tailed Beast Capsules from the Event and then evolve him with Kunais into the Yellow Flash • He's an incredible sustained DPS unit and one of the best Mythic ones • Meta DPS unit and in my opinion one of the must-haves for Raids and Infinite farming • Best Trait: The One |
 Fire Hashira Evolution Mythic |
• An alternative to Vejita in terms of Burst/Nova damage • One of the best Fire DPS units • Best Trait: The One |
 Sasoke Hebi Evolution Mythic |
• Hybrid/Air DPS • Great secondary DPS options to the ones above • Can compete sustained DPS wise with Secrets and most Mythics • Better than Naroto Sage but not Naroto Sage Master • Best Trait: Frenzy |
  Naroto Evolutions Mythic |
• For the Sage Evolution, same as Sasoke but becomes Hybrid/Air at the third upgrade and is a bit weaker overall • That said the new Sage Master Evolution is a Meta DPS and you should absolutely go for it as it out DPSs most Mythics including Sasoke Hebi • You can evolve it into Sage Master by farming and getting the Master Sage Scroll from the Tailed Beast Event shop • Best Trait: Frenzy |
 13th Commander GamePass Mythic |
• Really underrated mythic with great DPS • The best part is that you can get it by just progressing the GamePass • A powerful option for Emperor if you don't have Super Roku Evo or Secrets • Best Trait: Emperor or The One |
 Akoza Evolution Mythic |
• One of the better sustained DPS Mythics • Great with Frenzy or Berserk and not the best target for The One or Emperor • Your go-to Earth DPS • Hybrid/Air DPS • Best Trait: Frenzy |
 Kabuto King Mythic |
• The base version sucks but the Evolution Kabuto King is actually pretty good sustained DPS with long range • Best Trait: Frenzy or Talon |
 Yano Evolution Mythic from Game Pass |
• Easy to get since Yano is at the end of the gamepass and while the base version is okay the evolution is much stronger and actually competitive when compared to other Mythics • Best Trait: Frenzy |
 Kamado (Sun) Mythic - Epic Banner Unit |
• Get him on the Epic Banner because the Evolution is amazing DPS • Komado Sun is in the upper tiers of the Mythics but can't be compared to Secrets • Best Trait: Berserk |
Support Highlights
The best support unit to go for early is Ulquiora because he is one of the best Hybrid units in the game. Then, take a look at some great options below for mid to late game. Here are all Hybrid & Air units in the Support category:
- Ulquiorra at Upgrade 5 Unevo & Upgrade 9 for Evo
- Ice Admiral & Evolution starting at Upgrade 4
| Unit | Notes |
|---|---|
  Tobito & Evolution Mythic |
• You can get the base Tobito via Tailed Beast Event Act 2 from the Event shop and then evolve him with Tobito's Mask • Currently he's one of the best support units in the game • For Raids and Infinite I prefer him over Ulquiorra slightly and he's a much better support than Ice Admiral and Dark Beard • Best Trait: The One or Talon |
  Jokar & Evolution Mythic |
• Another great support DPS option to add to a team • Works great with Frenzy due to the cooldown reduction that makes Jokar's ability better • Best Trait: Frenzy |
  Ulquiorra & Evolution Mythic |
• Overall one of the most useful units in the game both for supports and DPS • Easy to access Hybrid • Best Nature unit in the game • In my opinion a must-have for Raids/Infinite • Best Trait: Frenzy |
 Haumia (Mindbreaker) Mythic |
• One of the better crowd-control support Mythics • I love it for Infinite • The Frenzy cooldown reduction makes it really good • Best Trait: Frenzy |
  Ice Admiral & Evolution Mythic |
• One of the better support units in the game • Both the Evolution and the base version are useful • Your go-to Water unit • Hybrid/Air at Upgrade 4 • Best Trait: Frenzy |
 Dark Beard Legendary |
• A budget alternative support that slows enemy units at Upgrade 3 • Best Trait: Sharp Shooter |
 Oreheme Legendary |
• Another budget alternative support that buffs your units. • Better than Dark Beard and Ice Admiral in my opinion due to the powerful buffs on your meta DPS units. • Best Trait: Sharp Shooter |
Starter Highlights
These are some of the best starting units in Anime Final Strike. They offer cheap placements and good damage that will carry your early waves until you can farm up for the Meta units above. These work both for progression but mainly for Raids/Infinite.
| Unit | Notes |
|---|---|
    Best Starters |
• Great starters for Progression and Raid/Infinite • Note that Black Roku, Kaziru and Vejita can target Air • Vejita Super is the best one |
Best Gem and Trait Farm Methods in Anime Final Strike
Here's how to farm Gems, Traits and Perfect Stat Engrams in Anime Final Strike:
- Perfect Stat Engrams: Farm via the Gold shop, Free Daily Wheel Spins, rewards for progressing and of course codes which are linked below.
- Best Gems Farm: I recommend farming Event on Act 1 since I get 30-60k+ Gems overnight. The range depends on how good your team is and how many of the best DPS & Support units you have.
- Best Trait Farm: Raids (50), Tailed Beast Event (25), Dailies (9-11), Challenge every half an hour, Infinite to 15 and restart.
That's it for my Anime Final Strike tier list and guide. The best way to get started on getting the strongest units is by claiming our Anime Final Strike codes for free spins and more goodies.
