Anime Crusaders dumps 73+ units into your roster across Secret, Mythic, Legendary, and lower rarities, but your squad caps at 6. Most players waste days chasing characters that look strong on paper but crumble in actual waves. This ranking separates the units that carry late-game content from the ones you should replace the second you pull something better.
What makes an S Tier unit?
S Tier in Anime Crusaders is packed with Secret and Mythic units that either deliver massive DPS, amplify your entire team, or manage both at once. A few clear patterns emerge when you break down the roster.
Puci (Made in Heaven) runs a time acceleration mechanic that shaves 2% off cooldowns, and that effect stacks hard across extended waves. The downside: its strongest tools require heavy upgrades, so early performance is weak. Sun Woo (System) combines high damage output with shadow summons, but deployment and upgrade costs are brutal, and the attack speed drags.
Beyond Heaven handles crowd control while dealing bonus damage on a tighter cooldown, but you can only place it once per match. That single placement decision carries more weight than almost anything else you do. Seraph is probably the cleanest all-around option in this tier: some of the best DPS and range numbers in the game, plus a damage boost for nearby units. Deployment cost is steep, but the performance backs it up.
Igrith (Blood Commander) stands out because it buffs your entire team's damage and works especially well with Sun Woo. If you own both, deploy them together. The catch is that maxing out Igrith demands a huge currency investment.
Slime (Demon Lord) ramps up its DPS as the wave drags on, making it stronger in longer fights. Pair it with units that stall or slow enemies and the damage output becomes serious. Goko (Perfected Super 3) is the top Hill unit in S Tier, built for late-game grinding, though it demands one of the largest currency investments in the entire roster.

S Tier Units
A Tier Units
A Tier is where most players spend the majority of their time, and there are real carries here. Shunks (Haki) delivers very high DPS with Haki-based attacks, but it's rare and expensive to obtain. Bones is the most interesting unit in this bracket: every kill it scores increases its own damage, so it gets scarier the longer a wave runs. The short range is a real problem, though, so placement near choke points is mandatory.
Goju (Supreme) stuns enemies on hit and brings solid base stats, but the long SPA and upgrade cost during active waves can catch you off guard. Boo (Ultimate) transforms mid-battle for flexibility across different scenarios, though the transformation mechanic takes practice to use effectively.
Haein (Sword Queen) maintains consistent DPS throughout a fight without leaning on special abilities, which makes her one of the more reliable picks in the tier even if she lacks standout utility.
B Tier Units
B Tier units generally work best when supporting a stronger core. Speedcart is the one exception: it's one of the best farming units in early game stages, but it has near-zero DPS and cannot attack enemies directly. Bring it early, replace it fast.
Heisou (Bird Sniper) and Chonin (Flame Master) both occupy the Hill placement type, which is useful for positioning. Heisou has solid base damage with a critical hit chance; Chonin applies burning damage to groups but struggles against faster enemies due to high SPA.
AI (Idol) does almost no damage on its own but buffs the team's output, making it a useful filler slot if you're running a DPS-heavy lineup and need one support slot.
C and D Tier Units
C Tier units are mostly early-to-mid game options that fall off as wave difficulty climbs. Rose has a large attack range and strong damage output, but that damage stops scaling at higher stages. Yuji attacks with powerful combos at low SPA but suffers the same scaling problem. Makunouchi clears early waves quickly with fast combo attacks but has low range and average damage that won't hold up later.
D Tier is early game only, full stop. Goko (the base version, not Perfected Super 3) has decent DPS for the opening levels but falls apart on harder content. Pikoko chains electric attacks across multiple enemies, which sounds useful until you see how low the actual damage values are. Every D Tier unit should be replaced as soon as a B Tier or higher alternative becomes available.
How to get new units in Anime Crusaders
All summons happen at the Summon area in the lobby, reachable directly from your spawn point. Look for the blue banner overhead. Each pull costs either 50 Gems for a single summon or 500 Gems for a 10-pull. Before spending, check which units are featured on the active banner since featured units carry higher pull rates.
The Special and Event banners are accessible from the top-left of the summon window and often feature limited or rotated units worth checking before committing gems to the standard pool.
Short on gems? The AFK Chamber (also called the Time Machine), located to the left of the Summon area, generates passive gem income. Grinding Story mode waves, Challenges, and Raids also rewards gems. Free codes posted by the developers are another consistent source.
