- D Tier: Weak units that should be replaced early
Anime Auto Chess Units Tier List
S Tier – Meta Units
These units define the current meta and perform extremely well across most modes.
- The Light Admiral
Best overall unit in the game. Scales strongly with both attack and ability damage. Very powerful but takes time to evolve. - The Lava Admiral
Focuses on burn damage with strong scaling and increasing attack speed. Evolution takes patience but pays off. - Alien Antagonist
Excellent ability damage and stacking buffs that improve offense and survivability. Can feel fragile in late-game modes. - Young Boy
Top-tier farming unit. Generates extra gold just by assisting allies, making it useful for all player levels, though weaker late game.
A Tier – Very Strong Units
Great units that perform well but are slightly less dominant than S Tier.
- Weather Manipulator
Strong farming unit that provides team buffs. Easy to evolve but lacks raw damage. - Beast Ninja
High ability damage and strong mid-to-late game impact. Evolution materials can be slow to farm. - Sasook
Excellent attack speed and scaling passives. Very strong over time, but grinding evolution items is difficult. - Blade Dancer
High attack damage output. Limited mainly by hard-to-get evolution materials. - Lava Admiral / Light Admiral (Lower Variants)
Similar playstyle to their top versions, but harder to obtain due to legendary rarity. - Sharkborne
Reliable unit with balanced damage and decent synergy potential.
B Tier – Decent Units
Usable units that shine in specific team comps or early progression.
- Girl Soul Reaper
High ability damage with healing-focused passives, but limited range. - Sand Kid
Strong ability damage scaling but weak basic attacks. - Fused Gatsu
Utility-focused unit with blind effects and sustain, but very low damage. - Cat Burglar
Beginner-friendly farming unit with speed buffs, though damage is low. - Sakke
Fast attacker with decent passives, but some abilities feel underwhelming. - Sword Man
Damage stacks over time, but poor dodge rate hurts survivability. - Konin
High damage potential with shadow mechanics, but needs time to scale. - Kuroiashi
Good ability damage from passives, but low attack damage overall.
C Tier – Mid Units
Playable but often outclassed by higher-tier options.
- Young Joe
Focuses on survivability stats but lacks strong ability damage. - Mr First
Mix of bleed and attack damage, but numbers are too low to stand out. - Nihongo
Has built-in damage reduction and average damage, but no unique strengths. - Itadakiru
Self-healing mechanics exist, but damage output is very low and RNG-based. - Kombo
Damage increases with hits, but slow attack speed limits effectiveness. - Subordinate
High dodge chance and bleed damage, but extremely slow attacks.
D Tier – Weak Units
Units that are quickly replaced as you progress.
- Alien Captain
Decent base stats and a shield ability, but offers nothing special compared to higher-tier units.
Anime Auto Chess Roles Explained
Each unit belongs to a role that defines how it functions in battle:
- Swordmen / Brawler: Melee fighters with higher parry chance
- Musketeer: Ranged physical damage dealers
- Mage: Ranged units focused on ability damage
- Healer: Restores health to allies
- Supporter: Buffs allies and weakens enemies
- Guardian: Frontline tanks that absorb damage
- Assassin: Jumps to enemy backlines to eliminate DPS units
Understanding roles helps you build balanced teams instead of stacking damage only.
How to Summon Units in Anime Auto Chess
To obtain new units, follow these steps:
- Launch Anime Auto Chess on PC, mobile, or console
- Use the teleporter to go to the Summon Area
- Spend Radiant Emblems earned from matches, codes, or chests
- Each summon costs 50 Emblems, or 500 Emblems for a 10-pull
There is also a Legendary Pity System that guarantees a legendary unit after 400 spins. Using the Lucky Game Pass can improve your odds before summoning.
Anime Auto Chess rewards players who understand unit value, team roles, and long-term scaling. While S-tier units can carry your runs, smart team building and resource management matter just as much. As the game continues to update, this tier list will evolve, so always stay flexible and ready to adjust your lineup. Picking the right units early will make progression smoother and help you stay competitive in every mode.
