Anime Final Strike Tier List
Over All Meta Units
These units are top-tier — the best of the best. Use them whenever possible.
- Vasto Lorde (Ichigo) – Arguably the best unit right now. Full AoE, bleed, and hybrid capabilities. 52k+ damage, two strong passives, and a 30% damage boost skill? No brainer.
- Obito (Masked) – Massive AoE, splinter debuff for +20% teamwide damage, AND great base damage. Extremely useful for both DPS and support.
- Minato (Yellow Flash) – Cheap, early-game beast with a stacking +50% damage passive. Great hybrid unit but falls off slightly in Infinite.
- Naruto (Sage Master) – A hybrid DPS and buffer. Grants allies +10% damage per wave. With proper traits, can reach 100k+ damage.
- Kabuto (Kii) – Recently buffed. While his raw damage isn’t the highest, his 85% crit rate and scaling passives make him an S-tier sniper.
Meta DPS Units
These characters are top-tier for damage, though they may lack utility or hybrid versatility.
- Vegeta Majin – Hybrid with a suicide-style nuke skill. Insane burst (550% damage), but must be replaced after using the nuke.
- Kamado (Sun) – Insane AoE magic burst with Sunflame explosions. Dual-elemental, physical & magic. Would be Over All Meta if he were hybrid.
- Sasuke Hebi (Taka) – Bleed DPS, performs well with the right traits. Strong Infinite option.
- Vash (Crosshair) – Versatile attacker with both magic and physical switching. Can be slotted in nearly any Infinite setup.
- Fire Hashira (Afterlife) – AoE burn unit with a 500% damage nuke. Scales with each unit placed. Solid high-tier choice.
Good DPS Units
Great picks for progressing but fall short compared to Meta DPS units.
- Enel (Overcharged) – Decent hybrid with AoE and good traits. Outclassed by top-tier hybrids.
- Naruto (Teen) – Solid early/mid-game unit. Outpaced in Infinite.
- Vegeta (Super) – Reliable DPS. Doesn’t bring much utility, but good for early waves.
- Fire Hashira (Un-Evolved) – Still useful pre-evolution. Provides nuke potential and hybrid status at higher upgrades.
Meta Support Units
Essential in Infinite mode for their game-changing effects.
- Tobito – Curses enemies, increasing their incoming damage by 20%. Full AoE with excellent range and damage.
- Jigoku (Enma) – Specific use cases. Good range and support, but very situational.
Beginner Meta Units
Ideal for early progression and accessible for most players.
- Ulquiorra – Easy to obtain and evolve. Decent starting unit.
- Enel (Base) – Hybrid right out the gate. Early game-friendly.
- Sasuke (Hebi) – Good bleed pre-evo. Useful for Story/Events.
- Akaza – Budget AoE. Doesn’t scale well, but strong early.
- Sogeking (Usopp) – If you’re lucky enough to get him early, his range makes him a strong option.
- Fire Hashira (Base) – Still viable even before evolution.
- Ichiru Masked – Mid-tier early game option. Mostly filler.
Good Support Units
Helpful in niche situations or events.
- Ice Admiral (Teen) – Decent slowing unit.
- Ice Admiral – Better than his teen version. Can assist in crowd control.
- Battlepass Girl (Shield Breaker) – Not strong damage-wise, but her shield-breaking ability is great for some events.
Farm Units
Boost your economy and allow faster scaling in Infinite.
- Yuneko – The best farming unit in the game.
- Yumeko (Jackpot) – Extra money generation + flexible passive options.
- Namu – Strong backup option. Scales well with placement.
