Ultimate Anime Crusaders Tier List [RELEASE]

The best unit in Anime Crusaders depends on both what role you need whether its Hybrid/Hill/Ground DPS or support as well as the element. I'll show you the strongest units for all roles and I'll rank them within their roles from left to right. Here's my Anime Crusaders tier list and best unit guide.

Anime Crusaders Unit Tier List

This Anime Crusaders unit tier list analyzes the best units for both progression and Infinite according to their position and role whether it's DPS or Support. For a short version the best DPS units are the secrets with the caveat of Igrith needing Sun Woo to be good. Supports are just as important as DPS so Speedcart for farm is always good. That said support units also include those who can reduce unit costs like AI or slow/stun/freeze. I've also provided a list of alternative DPS options that includes budget-friendly units for beginners. Let's dive into each unit individually below.

Epic & Rare Units: I did not rank these because they are filler units for beginners but there are some S-Tier Epics like Speedwagon for farm and Stork/Sanje are pretty good beginner starters.

Best Hybrid DPS Units

Meta Hybrid Units Tips

Brulo (Rage)
Secret
• Brulo is one of the best units in Anime Crusaders both in the base and Evo forms
• He simply deals sustained DPS and then does a nuke every 10 attacks for massive damage and range
• He also stacks up to 15% damage for himself based on how surrounded he is (For every enemy in range)
• Pretty much all the secrets are OP so you can't go wrong with either of them
• The only issue is that you have to upgrade for him to become Hybrid so keep that in mind

Shadow (Atomic)
Secret
• Unlike Brulo who's just consistent by himself, Shadow deals incredible DPS too but requires a unit like Shunks for the stuns
• That's because his crit boost passive works only on stunned enemies
• Still a strong unit but I prefer Brulo personally

Getu (Master of Curses)
Mythic
• Getu is a summoner unit that works like a hybrid because the units he summons can hit ground and air enemies
• The summons are incredibly tanky
• Amazing starter

Enol (Drums)
Mythic
• If you're wondering how a Mythic can be compared to Secrets in the same category, it's because Enol is a Hybrid on placement
• He deals really good DPS that's easier to access than a Secret
• He can also do a massive damage burst on enemies due to his ability that removes CC effects like slow/stun for a single-target nuke
• Best combined with high frequency slowing/stunning support units like Goju, Shunks, etc.

Best Ground DPS Units

Meta Ground Units Tips

Sun Woo (System)
Secret
• All about summoning a ton of high DPS units and then buffing himself for each of them
• The Evo summons an elite shadow that copies your starts so it'll get buffed by the shadow damage passive too
• Overall tons of damage and utility

Igrith (Blood Commander)
Secret
• While all the Secret units are OP, the reason I'm not a huge fan of Igrith is because he needs Sun Woo to work
• This sucks because you can't reliably get two secrets fast
• Apart from that, once you grind the game for a bit and get both Igrith is going to do so much damage with Sun Woo next to him and buff all your shadows
• It's the most powerful combo in the game right now which you can only get via the Event banner

Lao (Heart)
Secret
• On one hand Lao doesn't have any passives for extra utility but on the other, he has the highest base damage in the game with the Evo
• Just a simple high DPS unit that you can't go wrong with

Boo (Ultimate)
Mythic
• Stacks up damage when enemies die near him and at 50 starts doing echo attacks which are basically attack follow-ups
• Incredibly strong with the top-tier damage traits

Toju (Mercenary)
Mythic
• Deals tons of Bleed damage and that stops enemy regen
• Stacks crit and overall nukes bosses since his single-target damage is insane

Ichi (Dusk)
Mythic
• Okay so Ichi requires a bit of setup but can deal insane damage with his transformation
• You have to stack up Soul Bind, detonate them to transform and then keep killing units to extend the transformation buff
• Really good at dealing with crowds but also pretty decent against bosses

Hie (Black Dragon)
BattlePass
• I love Hie because he's easy to get via the BattlePass
• He can be quite strong but you have to learn how to play him and focus on lower HP units with his Evo since he'll do incredible DPS to enemies below 50% HP

Best Hill DPS Units

Meta Hill Units Tips

Goko (Super III)
Mythic
• The best Hill unit in Anime Crusaders
• Also one of the best Infinite units
• This because of his damage ramp up passive on kills

Chonin (Flame Master)
Mythic
• A great alternative to Goko but Chonin is limited for the Solo Leveling event
• Slightly weaker DPS than Goko for Infinite
• That said Chonin does great Burn damage and deals even more damage to Frozen enemies so combine him with Freeze units like Ukia

Best Support Units

Meta Support Units Tips

Speedcart
Epic
• A must-have unit in any team for economy/farm
• He's Epic like in many other anime Roblox TD games so get him ASAP

AI (Idol)
Mythic
• Makes your units cheaper which is always useful, definitely one of the best supports

Goju (Supreme)
Mythic
• Goju is incredibly OP as a support unit because he can simply AOE timestop enemies and freeze them
• Works amazing for progression but mainly great for Infinite

Shunks (Haki)
Mythic
• Shunks actually has DPS comparable to other Meta DPS units but I chose to put him in Support because he does stun enemies and sets them up for other Metas
• That said Shunks can do crazy damage by himself because of his ability that increases his damage against low HP enemies

Koichy
Legendary
• Koichy is my favorite budget support for slowing enemies and aiding your other towers
• Really powerful slow and effect and decent DPS

Greybeard
Legendary
• Again, similar to other TD games like Anime Final Strike, Graybeard is a slowing support unit and pretty much an alternative to Koichy
• He's also full AOE so you can't pass on that utility

Ukia
Legendary
• A great alternative to the two slowing units above but instead of slowing she's a freeze unit
• You can pick her up easily of a regular banner like the Legendaries above and you should for progression and infinite

Alternative DPS & Beginner Units

Alt Options Tips

Haein (Sword Queen)
Mythic
• Haein is all about marking enemies and dealing tons of damage to them
• She's lower on the list because the mark targets random enemies so you can't mark important enemies when you want
• Still, the DPS speaks for itself and a great budget trait on her is Overdrive so her Evo 5th attack passive procs more often

Ant King (Shadow Fang)
Mythic
• Just an overall decent DPS ground unit that deals great sustained damage
• No special ability so I ended up putting him in alternative options
• Note that he's from the limited event banner - Solo Leveling

Slime (Demon Lord)
Mythic
• Slime deals great DPS but that devour damage boost effect is pretty situational if you don't kill the target
• Plus this unit is ground only and there are plenty of better ground options
• Get via the BattlePass


Golden Freeza
Legendary
• Freeza doesn't even compare to the above mythics
• But he's your go-to budget hill DPS that will carry you really well until you get the meta units above

Rose/Ureo/Yuji
Legendary
• Filler Legendaries as you're starting
• Rose and Ureo can be really good budget DPSs
• Yuji is probably the worst one but still better than Epics and Rares

Stork/Sanje
Epic/Rare
• Stork is the best DPS Epic for Hill and Sanje the best DPS Rare for ground IMO
• Great for beginners and quite decent starters because they're the cheapest in their category while still dealing good early DPS
