Here’s a complete breakdown of all the new CSM units, how they perform, and which ones stand out the most. Check out our Anime Guardians Codes, and Unit Tier List!

Tier List Anime Guardians Chainsaw Man

• S-Tier: Makima
• A-Tier: Darkness Devil, Denji
• B-Tier: Raz, Hajun
• C-Tier: Aki

1. Raz – Balanced and Reliable

Raz is one of the first units tested in this update. While not the strongest, Raz offers a solid all-around performance, making him a good addition for early to mid-game players. His abilities scale well when paired with support-type units, though he doesn’t excel in raw damage output compared to others in this update.

Rank: Mid-tier
Best Use: Support-focused lineups

2. Aki – The Weakest of the Trio

Unfortunately, Aki ranks as the lowest among the Chainsaw Man characters introduced. Despite his stylish design, his passive and attack power don’t hold up well in higher-tier content. Unless you’re collecting for aesthetics or story reasons, Aki might not be the best investment for gameplay.

Rank: Low-tier
Best Use: Collection or theme-based teams

3. Denji – Strong with the Right Setup

Denji truly shines when paired with units that enhance his passive damage, especially those related to charm effects. His overall performance depends heavily on team synergy rather than individual strength. When built correctly, he can become one of the most powerful DPS units in the Chainsaw Man lineup.

Rank: High-tier
Best Use: Charm synergy teams

4. Makima – The Top Guardian Unit

Among the guardian rarity units, Makima stands at the top. Her charm ability makes her an excellent controller, and when used with Denji, the combo becomes deadly. She’s one of the most flexible and powerful units in this update.

Rank: S-Tier
Best Use: Control and DPS synergy

5. Darkness Devil – A Strong Contender

Darkness Devil’s design and damage potential are impressive. With the right build, it can deal consistent heavy damage while maintaining decent survivability. It’s ranked just below Makima due to slightly less team synergy, but still one of the best in the update.

Rank: A-Tier
Best Use: Main damage dealer

6. Hajun – The Underdog

While Hajun is a guardian unit, it doesn’t quite reach the same level as the others. Its damage output and utility are decent, but there’s nothing that makes it stand out compared to Makima or Darkness Devil.

Rank: B-Tier
Best Use: Backup or secondary DPS

Overall, the Chainsaw Man update for Anime Guardians brings a fun set of new units with unique passives and flashy animations. While Makima clearly leads the pack, every unit can still play a role depending on your team composition. For the best results, focus on team synergy—especially between Denji and Makima—to get the most out of this update.
