World 1 – Shadow City Unit Tier List

S-Tier

• Igros (Mythic): Strong DPS and ideal for AFK farming in early stages. Great investment for new players.
• Sung (Secret): One of the top units in World 1. Harder to obtain but excellent stats.

A-Tier

• Hwan (Legendary): Solid early pick. Good DPS and a useful bridge before getting Mythics.
• Baruke (Code): Available via “100HOURS” code for players of Anime Shadow 1. Slightly behind Hwan in power but useful if you have it.

B-Tier

• Hae (Epic): Decent DPS. Easy to get and good until you obtain better rarities.

C-Tier

• Baek (Rare): Okay for starters but replace as soon as possible.

D-Tier

• Weakest Hunter and Jinhoo (Common): Only good for fusing. Avoid using them long-term.

World 2 – Slayer Island Unit Tier List

S-Tier

• Rengoko (Mythic): One of the best units for this world. Powerful DPS and good synergy with traits.
• Kokushibo (Secret): High damage and excellent for progressing through Slayer Island faster.

A-Tier

• Shinobo (Legendary): Good option before Mythics or Secrets. Can carry mid-level gameplay effectively.

B-Tier

• Tanjiru (Epic): Good stats for an Epic, decent for early grind but replace soon after.

C-Tier

• Zenitso (Rare): Only useful in the early moments of World 2.

D-Tier

• Inosuki and Nezoko (Common): Not viable past the first few fights.

World 3 – Dragon World Unit Tier List

S-Tier

• Son Goko (Mythic): Arguably the best unit in the entire game right now. Extremely high DPS and ideal for AFK farming.
• Gogita (Secret): If you’re lucky enough to pull Gogita, you won’t need to switch units for a long time.

A-Tier

• Vegita (Legendary): Good backup if you haven’t unlocked Mythics yet. Can hold his own in Dragon World.

B-Tier

• Whes (Epic): Decent early pick for players just entering World 3.

C-Tier

• Piccolu (Rare): Usable but should be swapped quickly.

D-Tier

• Kurerin and Trunkis (Common): Don’t use unless you’re out of options. Better used for fusion.

Choosing the right units in Anime Shadow 2 can make a huge difference in how fast you progress and how much you earn. Focus on securing Mythic and Secret units in each world—especially Son Goko and Gogita in World 3—as they offer the best return for your time and effort. Replace lower-tier units quickly and aim to keep your lineup full of S and A-tier characters for the best gameplay experience.
