Anime Vanguards tier list

You can use a colorful cast of characters in Anime Vanguards to take down formidable enemies and terrifying bosses. Like in a typical Shounen anime or manga series, the game’s power ceiling rises continuously, with newer boss enemies posing a greater threat than older ones. To combat them, it’s important to know which units are worth keeping in your loadout and which to swap out. This can completely trivialize certain boss fights.

Let’s rank the ever-expanding roster of Anime Vanguards and find out which characters are the best.

Ranking all units in Anime Vanguards

S-Tier

The S-Tier entries are some of the best in the game. Incidentally, they are also among the rarest, consisting solely of Vanguard, Secret, Exclusive, and Mythic-rarity characters. You can add them to nearly any team combination, and they will perform well.

However, the best loadout for them typically involves prioritizing their abilities above all else, boosting their output instead of evenly distributing the upgrades.

Their status as a one-unit army is what makes them so coveted in the experience.

Unit	Rarity
Iscanur (Pride)	Vanguard
Yehowach (Almighty)	Secret
The Falcon (of Light)	Secret
Song Jinwu and Igros	Vanguard
Koguro (Unsealed	Vanguard
Gujo (Infinity)	Secret
Byeken (Ronin)	Secret
The King (Apostle)	Mythic
Goblin Killer (Trapper)	Exclusive
Quetzalcoatl (Sun God)	Exclusive

A-Tier

The units in the A-Tier perform well in most situations. Unlike their peers in the S-Tier, they cannot clear stages on their own apart from specific battles. Even so, they are strong options in the current meta and will prove their usefulness in most scenarios.

This tier also includes the best support units in the game, as their role is to boost your main damage dealers. They won’t take down bosses on their own, but their passives will help your primary units do so.

Unit	Rarity
Monkey King (Awakened)	Secret
Smith John	Secret
Conqueror vs Invulnerable	Secret
Leo (Fangs)	Secret
GG (Possessed)	Secret

B-Tier

The characters in this tier are perfectly serviceable. They are the options you should pick for the fourth or fifth character slot in your party. Since they are not as good at any role as their counterparts in the higher tiers, it may not be worth actively pursuing them. That said, they can be great picks for beginners or mid-game players.

Unit	Rarity
Blossom	Epic
Hebano (Clematis)	Exclusive
Julias (Eisplosion)	Exclusive
Medea (Witch of Betrayal)	Mythic
Medusa (Gorgon)	Mythic
Sosuke (Storm)	Mythic
Alligator	Epic
Todu (Unleashed)	Mythic
Tuji (Sorcerer Killer)	Exclusive
Orehimi (Faith)	Mythic
Riner (Reinforced Giant)	Mythic
Ichiga (Savior)	Mythic
Deruta (Hunt)	Mythic
Brisket (Yo-Yo)	Mythic
Arc (True Ancestor)	Exclusive
Divalo (Requiem)	Vanguard
Saber (Black Tyrant)	Secret

Dark Mage (Evil)	Exclusive
Rudie (Prodigy)	Exclusive
Choy Jong En (Guild Leader)	Secret
Dave (Cyber Psycho)	Exclusive
Boo (Evil)	Secret
Gilgamesh (Hero of Heroes)	Exclusive
Regnaw (Rage)	Secret

C-Tier

There is little to no merit in using C-Tier units in meta-relevant content. They can be useful in certain places in the mid-game, which limits their usefulness rather severely. If you happen to get them, they will likely sit in your character box until you choose to sell them.

Unit	Rarity
Kempache (Feral)	Mythic
Oryo (Antithesis)	Mythic
Lilia and Berserker	Mythic
Ishtar (Divinity)	Mythic
Archer (Counter Spirit)	Mythic
Johnni (Infinite Spin)	Mythic
Giro (Ball Breaker)	Mythic
Chaso (Blood Curse)	Mythic
Itaduri	Mythic
Akazo (Destructive)	Mythic
Cha-In (Blade Dancer)	Mythic
Noruto (Six Tails)	Mythic
Obita (Awakened)	Mythic
Vogita Super (Awakened)	Mythic
Inamuki	Legendary
Nobaba	Legendary
Bean	Legendary
Takaroda	Legendary
Agony	Legendary
Goi	Legendary
Grim Wow	Legendary
Itochi	Legendary
Kinaru	Legendary
Roku (Dark)	Legendary

D-Tier

Beyond the early game, D-Tier units are not useful in combat. They are starter units and early-game characters that you will likely only use for a few battles before they are replaced with better options. Consider removing them from your loadout and adding any of the units listed in the higher tiers. The game offers plenty of options for a better party configuration, after all.

Unit	Rarity
Nazuka	Epic
Blossom	Epic
Alligator	Epic
Gaari	Epic
Genitsu	Epic
Genas	Epic
Inosake	Epic
Kinnua	Epic
Kokashi	Epic
Pickleo	Epic
Shinzi	Epic
Sprintwagon	Epic
Ichiga	Rare
Joe	Rare
Jon	Rare
Luffo	Rare
Noruto	Rare
Roku	Rare
Rukio	Rare
Sanjo	Rare
Sosuke	Rare
Vogita	Rare
