Introduction
Anime Crusaders is a Roblox tower defense game. Players summon anime-inspired characters, place them on a map, and defend against waves of enemies. With so many units to pull and upgrade, the hardest question is where to spend gems, traits and materials. This anime crusaders tier list ranks the units that consistently top current tier lists. It also explains what each tier means and how to build a balanced team. Tier lists shift with every patch and banner, so treat this as a snapshot of the October 2026 meta.
What Anime Crusaders Is And How Units Work
Anime Crusaders is developed by the 32x team. It brings together characters drawn from Dragon Ball, Solo Leveling, One Piece and Naruto. Players summon units from banners using gems. They place units on ground or hill tiles and upgrade them during a match. Units are divided by rarity: Secret and Mythic at the top, then Legendary, Epic and Rare. Each unit also has elements and damage types, such as Physical, Magic, Fire, Water, Lightning, Dark and True Damage. Placement matters as much as power. Hill units need elevated terrain, ground units need a clear path, and hybrid units are more flexible. Units can also gain traits, which add damage, cooldown or range bonuses. Evolution turns a strong unit into a far stronger form, at the cost of duplicates, gold and materials.
How This Tier List Was Judged
No single tier list for Anime Crusaders is official. Different guides rank the same unit in different tiers. This ranking is therefore built on agreement across several current guides. A unit earns S tier only if it sits at or near the top of multiple recent lists. Those include the October 2026 ranking on Game Geek Fusion and the August 2026 rankings on Pocket Tactics and MobileMatters. The criteria are damage, range, area coverage, boss value, support value and investment cost. This list also separates damage dealers from support and farm units. A support unit that boosts the whole team can be worth more than another damage dealer.
S Tier Units In Anime Crusaders
S tier holds the units that define the current meta. Sun Woo (System) tops nearly every current ranking. His shadow summons add damage, his base damage and range are strong, and he buffs other Solo Leveling units. Igrith (Blood Commander) is another near-universal S tier pick, valued for high damage in wave clearing and boss fights. Brulo (Rage) earns his place through explosive burst damage that scales with enemies in range. Shadow (Atomic) is ranked S tier for consistent, high-end damage and strong area coverage. Goko (Perfected Super III) is a top damage dealer whose evolved form is often cited among the best DPS options. Seraph is also among the most reliable all-round picks in the October 2026 ranking, which cites very high damage, strong range and a damage boost for nearby allies. Dracula earns S tier for gaining damage and cooldown reduction after kills, applying Bleed, and spawning powerful summons in his ultimate form. Zero, Akuzo Vs Renkuro, Claw, Tengin, Beyond Heaven and Puci (Made in Heaven) round out the wider S tier group. Beyond Heaven is praised for crowd control, while Puci is noted for reducing team ability cooldowns. Give these units your best traits and first evolution materials.
A Tier Units In Anime Crusaders
A tier units are very strong, but they usually need the right team, trait or evolved form to match S tier output. Lao (Heart) is the most prominent A tier name. He appears as a top DPS choice in several guides and as an S tier pick in older lists. Getu (Master of Curses) is another high-value A tier unit, with strong damage and utility that fits most teams. Chonin (Flame Master) pairs well with burn-based teams, since fire damage over time softens enemies for the squad. AI (Idol) is one of the best support units in the game. Her A tier ranking understates her importance, because a good support raises the damage of every S tier unit on the field. Toju (Mercenary) is a strong, reliable damage dealer in the top DPS lists of several guides. Shunks (Haki) and Goju (Supreme) add support and control value that makes difficult waves more manageable. Speedcart belongs here despite modest damage, because he is the main farm unit and funds early upgrades. A well-built A tier squad will beat a poorly built S tier team that lacks support, economy or crowd control.
B Tier Units In Anime Crusaders
B tier units are good, situational picks, but they are not worth prioritising over S and A tier units when resources are tight. Slime (Demon Lord), Boo (Ultimate) and Haein (Sword Queen) are the most notable names here. Older lists ranked them higher, and newer lists moved them down as stronger units arrived. They can still carry early and mid-game content, even if they fall behind in endgame Infinite runs. Ant King (Shadow Fang) and Enol (Drums) offer useful damage and utility, with Enol appearing as a support-leaning pick in several team guides. Ichi (Dusk), Rose, Yuji, Koichy and GreyBeard are solid early and mid-game options. They help new players clear story content while saving gems for stronger banners. Ukia is another B tier name worth noting, because some guides place her in support discussions alongside the top buffers. Use B tier units as placeholders and specialists, and hold your rarest traits and evolution materials for units the next banner will not replace.
C Tier Units In Anime Crusaders
C tier units can carry the early game, but they are not worth heavy long-term investment. Their damage, range or utility falls behind once enemy waves scale up. Makunouchi, Pikoko, Golden Freezo, Ureo, Gone, Kiloa, Stork and Friezo appear in this group across recent lists. They work in story mode and early Infinite waves, but struggle when bosses gain health and waves become dense. Hie (Black Dragon) sits on the border between B and C tier depending on the source. That is a useful reminder that tier boundaries are not fixed, and a good trait can lift a borderline unit for a specific map. Goko in his base form, before his Perfected Super III evolution, also appears here. That shows why evolution matters so much, since the same character can move from an early-game unit to a top-tier damage dealer once evolved. If a C tier unit is your best pull so far, use it, but treat it as a stepping stone.
D Tier Units In Anime Crusaders
D tier units are the weakest options for serious progression. Replace them as soon as a higher-tier unit becomes available. Gahan, Krillo, Vegitable, Ichigoat, Sanje, Luffie, Kid Noruto and Kid Sosuke appear in this group in recent rankings. They are mostly starter-style units with limited damage, range or utility compared with later pulls. Zoro and Jiro also appear near the bottom of some lists, although Zoro keeps some early wave-clearing value for brand-new players. The point about D tier is not that these units are useless. Every unit can clear the earliest story stages. The problem is opportunity cost: every reroll, upgrade and evolution material spent on a D tier unit cannot be spent on a unit that will still be in your team weeks later. Sell or bench D tier duplicates once you have replacements, and move on quickly.
Best DPS And Best Support Units
The best unit depends on whether you need damage, support or economy, because the best team needs all three. For pure damage, the consensus DPS core is Sun Woo (System), Igrith (Blood Commander), Brulo (Rage), Shadow (Atomic), Goko (Perfected Super III), Lao (Heart), Toju (Mercenary), Getu (Master of Curses) and Chonin (Flame Master). For support, remember AI (Idol), Shunks (Haki), Goju (Supreme) and Ukia. They boost, control or otherwise strengthen the damage dealers around them. Speedcart stands alone as the farm unit that funds the whole strategy. A practical endgame team has two or three DPS units from the S and A tiers, one or two support units, one farm unit early in the match, and one crowd-control option for dense waves. Traits can change this balance, so read a dedicated Anime Crusaders traits guide before spending Divine Tokens.
How To Get Units, Traits And Evolutions
New units come mainly from summoning on banners with gems. Gems are earned fastest through story mode first, then Infinite mode once it is unlocked. Daily quests, events and codes add a steady extra income. Pocket Tactics reports that the maximum pulls needed for a Mythic unit is 400 and for a Legendary unit is 50. It also reports a 1 percent shiny chance and a Secret unit roughly once every 5,000 pulls. Saving gems for a banner featuring a unit you need is therefore smarter than pulling on every banner. Traits are rerolled with Divine Tokens, which come from events, milestones, duplicate pulls and the shop. A single reroll replaces the existing trait, so save tokens for S and A tier units. Evolution requires duplicates, gold and evolution materials. Spend it on core DPS and support units first, because an evolved core unit pushes further into Infinite mode and earns more gems. Collecting new units also pays index rewards, so even an unused pull contributes permanent bonuses.
Building A Team That Actually Wins
A strong team is built around synergy, placement and upgrade order, not around owning the single strongest unit. Start each match with your farm unit, so later placements and upgrades are affordable. Place main DPS units where their range covers the longest stretch of the enemy path. Put hill units on elevated tiles where they belong. Upgrade your core DPS first. A half-upgraded team of five is weaker than a fully upgraded core of three. Keep one support unit near your DPS cluster, so buffs reach the units that benefit most. Save crowd control for waves where enemies bunch together, rather than wasting it on single targets. Watch elemental matchups too, because a resisted damage type will quietly cut your output. The most common new-player mistake is upgrading every new pull a little instead of committing to a core team. The second is ignoring support and farm units, which leaves a strong DPS team starved of gold and buffs.
Conclusion
This anime crusaders tier list puts Sun Woo (System), Igrith (Blood Commander), Brulo (Rage), Shadow (Atomic) and Goko (Perfected Super III) at the top of the October 2026 meta. Seraph, Dracula, Zero, Akuzo Vs Renkuro and Beyond Heaven sit close behind, with a deep A tier led by Lao (Heart), Getu (Master of Curses), Chonin (Flame Master) and AI (Idol). That ranking is a guide, not a rule. Tier lists disagree on borderline units, patches move units between tiers, and a good trait or smart evolution can lift a lower-tier unit above a poorly supported top-tier pull. Spend gems on banners featuring units you need, save traits and evolution materials for units that will stay in your team, and build around damage, support and economy together rather than chasing rarity alone.
Who is the best unit in Anime Crusaders?
Sun Woo (System) is the most consistently top-ranked unit across current tier lists. His shadow summons add damage, his base damage and range are strong, and he buffs other Solo Leveling units. Igrith (Blood Commander), Brulo (Rage), Shadow (Atomic) and Goko (Perfected Super III) are the closest challengers.
What is the best DPS unit in Anime Crusaders?
The best DPS core is Sun Woo (System), Igrith (Blood Commander), Brulo (Rage), Shadow (Atomic), Goko (Perfected Super III), Lao (Heart) and Toju (Mercenary). Getu (Master of Curses) and Chonin (Flame Master) sit close behind. Boss damage and wave-clearing damage are different jobs, so the best pick changes with the map and enemy mix.
What is the best support unit in Anime Crusaders?
AI (Idol) is the most widely cited support pick, because boosting the whole team often matters more than adding one more damage dealer. Shunks (Haki), Goju (Supreme) and Ukia are also valuable support options. Speedcart is the essential farm unit, not a combat support, and funds upgrades early in a match.
How do you get Mythic and Secret units in Anime Crusaders?
Mythic and Secret units come from summoning on banners with gems. Reported pity figures put a Mythic pull at a maximum of 400 pulls and a Legendary pull at 50, with a 1 percent shiny chance and a Secret unit roughly once every 5,000 pulls. Saving gems for a banner featuring a unit you need is the most reliable free-to-play strategy.
Should you invest in B tier and C tier units?
B tier units are worth using as placeholders and specialists while you build towards stronger pulls. C tier units should not receive rare traits or evolution materials, because they fall behind once waves scale up. The exception is a unit with a strong evolved form, such as Goko, whose Perfected Super III evolution moves him to top tier.
Do tier lists change after Anime Crusaders updates?
Yes, tier lists change with every balance patch, new banner and new evolution. That is why guides disagree on borderline units such as Haein (Sword Queen), Slime (Demon Lord) and Hie (Black Dragon). Treat any tier list as a snapshot, check its update date, and re-check your team after a major patch before spending rare resources.
