Putting together the right mix of characters in Anime Saga can make all the difference between breezing through dungeons and getting stuck on a boss. This guide will walk you through each role, evaluate the standout units, and show you how to assemble a balanced three-member squad that covers damage, crowd control, and survivability. Also check out our Unit Tier List in Anime Saga, and Anime Saga Codes for early game advantages!
Anime Saga Role Explanation
- Primary DPS (Damage Dealer) Focuses on the highest burst or sustained damage. They shred bosses and clear mobs fast.
- Crowd Controller (CC) Uses area-of-effect (AoE) moves or debuffs to group enemies or lock them down, making it easier for your DPS to hit multiple targets.
- Support/Survivability Provides heals, shields, or stuns—helping your DPS and CC stay alive, especially in Nightmare difficulty and Raids.
How Each Unit is in Anime Saga Explanation
Mythics (Requires Level 10+)
- Frierin: Excellent boss killer and high-damage nuke. Great sustain.
- Zid: Top-tier DPS but fragile—dodging is crucial.
- Okorun: Agile CC with decent damage and stun potential.
- Denji (Chainsaw Man): Highest DPS in the game, glass cannon style.
- Doma: AoE freeze specialist; solid CC but average damage.
Legendaries
- Gohan: Reliable DPS with eye-frame dodge and good AoE (“Kamehameha”).
- Katakuri: Pulls enemies into tight groups—excellent CC setup for your DPS.
- Toji: Strong AoE damage dealer; pairs nicely with a CC unit.
- Pain: Stun-focused CC; useful if you lack other crowd-control options.
Epics
- Vegeta: Eye-frame dodge plus AoE. Good secondary DPS or switch-in.
- Usopp: Ranged cover; best if you need distance attacks.
- Sanji: Decent AoE and mobility; solid filler slot.
Rares
- Ichigo, Luffy, Goku: Best rare picks—balanced damage and mobility for early game.
- Naruto: Strong rare with reliable combos.
- Itaduro & Tanjigo: Less tested; use only if you lack better units.
How to Build a Good Team
1. Lead with a Mythic DPS
Choose Frierin or Denji for raw damage, depending on whether you need sustain (Frierin) or burst (Denji).
2. Slot in a CC Specialist
Use Katakuri or Okorun to group or freeze enemies, amplifying your main DPS’s output.
3. Add a Support or Secondary DPS
If you need survivability, bring Frierin (if not already your lead) or a healer-type legendary/epic. If your team is tanky enough, add a secondary DPS like Gohan or Vegeta for extra damage.
Example Composition
- Primary DPS: Denji
- CC: Katakuri
- Support: Frierin
This setup delivers massive burst, keeps enemies clustered, and heals between fights.
A balanced team in Anime Saga covers high damage, effective crowd control, and enough survivability to handle late-game content. Prioritize mythic DPS at level 10+, slot in a strong CC unit, and round out your roster with support or secondary damage. With this approach, you’ll tackle Nightmare Modes, Infinite runs, and Raids with confidence. Happy summoning and see you in the dungeons!
