Anime Adventures: Best Units Tier List 2026

Picking the right units is everything in Anime Adventures. This tier list ranks all units based on their DPS, TDPS (Total DPS across all placements), AoE, Range, and special ability value — covering both Infinite Mode and Casual Modes (Story, Raids, Portals, Stages).

Note: Tier placement is based on base stats and buffed potential. Some units perform differently across specific maps or game modes.

Understanding the Stats

Stat	What It Means
DPS	Damage Per Second (single placement)
TDPS	Total DPS across all max placements
SPA	Seconds Per Attack (lower = faster)
AoE	Area of Effect size
Range	Distance the unit attacks from

Ranking	DPS Range	TDPS Range
Low	~9,999	~39,999
Average	10,000–19,999	40,000–64,999
High	20,000–29,999	65,000–89,999
Very High	30,000–39,999	90,000–114,999
Insanely High	40,000+	115,000+

🏆 S+ Tier — Meta Units (Best in Game)

Fused Hero (Vegeto)

Rarity: Mythical
Damage Type: Physical + Light + Storm
DPS: 107,380 (up to 354,085 with Commander + Griffin + Mirrorblade)
TDPS: 322,140 (up to 1,062,256 fully buffed)
Placements: 3
Best Relic: Mirrorblade
Best Traits: Unique, Divine, Godspeed
Notes: Goko (Super) and Vegita (Majin II) fuse into Vegeto at Upgrade 7. With Unique traits on both, this is the highest DPS unit in the game. An absolute meta staple.

Griffin (Darkness)

Rarity: Mythical
Damage Type: Magic + Dark
DPS: 23,070 base → up to 49,157 at 500% sacrifice
TDPS: 69,212 base → up to 147,472 at 500%
Placements: 3
Best Relic: Miracle Timepiece
Notes: Transforms from Griffin (Ascension) by sacrificing 100K¥+ worth of non-BUFF units. The highest DPS potential in the entire game — no cap on sacrifice amount. Full AoE coverage makes it exceptional for waves.

S Tier — Top Performers

These units are consistently dominant in Infinite Mode and most Casual content:

High Insanely High DPS across multiple placements
Wide AoE or Full AoE coverage
Powerful passive abilities and buff synergies
Recommended for serious Infinite Mode pushes

Units in this tier typically have TDPS of 90,000+ and benefit significantly from Commander, Wenda, or Griffin buffer setups.

A Tier — Strong & Reliable

A-tier units are excellent for most content and significantly easier to obtain than S+ units:

Solid DPS with strong ability kits
Work well with common relic setups
Great for players still building their roster
Many A-tier units hold strong trade value due to demand

B Tier — Situational

Useful in specific maps or game modes
May outperform higher tiers in certain Stage content
Generally outclassed in Infinite Mode by S/A tier
Good for newer players as stepping stones

C Tier — Budget Options

Viable for early Story mode
Quickly replaced once you pull higher-tier units
Some have niche utility (e.g. crowd control, specific damage types)

D Tier — Avoid in Competitive Play

Extremely low DPS or highly situational
Poor scaling at higher difficulty
Only useful for very early game content

Best Relic Pairings

Unit	Best Relic	Effect
Fused Hero (Vegeto)	Mirrorblade	Massive DPS amplifier
Griffin (Darkness)	Miracle Timepiece	Huge DPS multiplier
Most S-tier physical	Mirrorblade	Universal top relic
Support/Buffer units	Buff-specific relics	Enhance team TDPS

Best Buffers & Supports

These units don't have insane personal DPS but dramatically boost your damage dealers:

Commander — Essential buffer, pairs with almost everything
Wenda — Top support for magic/dark DPS units like Griffin
Griffin (Ascension) — Enables the Darkness transformation

Infinite Mode Team Composition Tips

1-2 S+ carry units (Fused Hero, Griffin Darkness)
Commander for the damage buff
1 support unit (Wenda or equivalent)
Fill remaining slots with A-tier DPS
Equip Mirrorblade on your primary carry

Pro tip: Griffin (Darkness) scales infinitely — the more yen you sacrifice, the higher its damage climbs. Invest heavily into sacrifice before your Infinite Mode run.
