S-Tier

Sun Woo (Evo)Secret · Hybrid
Top DPS for Infinite Mode. Solo Leveling unit with massive scaling after evolution. Pairs perfectly with Igrith for crit synergy.
Igrith (Evo)Secret · Ground
High crit potential that synergizes with Sun Woo. Ground DPS powerhouse — one of the best units for boss stages.
Brulo (Evo)Secret · Hybrid
Best AoE in the game after evolution. Wide range wipes entire waves. Essential for Infinite Mode wave clearing.
Lao / Law (Heart)Secret · Ground
Strong crowd control. Needs Elemental Stones to evolve — worth the grind. Locks down bosses and elite enemies.
Shadow (Evo)Mythic · Hybrid
Bonus damage against stunned enemies. Pair with any CC unit for massive burst. Easier to get than Secrets.
Goko (Evo)Mythic · Hill
Premier air DPS with long range. Handles flying enemies better than anything else. Must-have for air-heavy stages.
Jujutsu Gojo (Evo)Secret · Hybrid
Near-infinite attack range. Top meta pick that hits everything on the map. Extremely rare but game-changing.
Goku (Evo)Mythic · Hill
Air DPS king with AoE attacks. Evolved form dominates both wave clear and boss fights from hill position.
A

A-Tier

Cid (Evo)Secret · Hybrid
High evolution potential. Solid all-rounder that performs well in most content. Not quite S-tier damage but very consistent.
GreyBeardMythic · Ground
Wave clear specialist. Doesn't need evolution to be useful — strong right out of the box for Story and early Infinite.
VegetaLegendary · Hybrid
Balanced kit with high crits. More realistic to pull than Secrets. Solid carry through mid-game content.
One Piece Luffy (Evo)Mythic · Ground
Ground control with stretch attacks. Good crowd management but needs evolution investment to compete with S-tier.
Dragon Ball Broly (Evo)Secret · Ground
High damage ground tank. Absorbs hits while dealing serious damage. Great for stages with heavy ground pressure.
NarutoLegendary · Ground
Best mid-game carry for beginners. Easy to get, easy to use. Falls off in late Infinite but carries Story Mode hard.
B

B-Tier

EizenMythic · Ground
Has a stun which is huge early game. Carries Story Mode solo. High attack speed at base form (7.6 spa) but gets outscaled.
GenosMythic · Hybrid
Flashy attacks but low scaling. Looks cool, hits okay. Replace once you pull S or A tier units.
FriezoMythic · Hill
Early air carry that gets outscaled later. Use him until you get Goko or Goku Evo, then bench.
GohanLegendary · Hill
Air utility unit. Fills the hill slot until you get something better. Decent but not a carry.
StorkEpic · Ground
Solid early-game pick. Reliable damage for the first few Story acts. Replace with any Legendary or higher.
C

C-Tier

SpeedwagonEpic · Support
S-tier as a farmer/support among Epics — but that's a low bar. Use for economy, not damage. Keep one for gem farming.
SanjeEpic · Hybrid
Early filler unit. Does a bit of everything, excels at nothing. Swap out as soon as you pull Legendaries.
Other Rares / EpicsVarious
Low DPS, limited passives. Use as placeholders in your first few hours, then replace. Don't invest upgrade materials here.

How We Rank

This Anime Crusaders tier list ranks units by DPS output, how well they scale into late Infinite Mode, whether they're useful in Raids, and how much evolution material they cost. S-tier units carry endgame. Most are Secret rarity and need Elemental Stones from Challenge stages to evolve.

Traits change rankings more than most players expect. A Crusader trait on an A-tier unit can push it into S-tier territory. Use Divine Tokens from codes to reroll traits on your best units. We update this list after balance patches and new unit releases.

FAQ

What is the best unit in Anime Crusaders?

Sun Woo (Evo) is the consensus top pick for Infinite Mode DPS. For overall versatility, Jujutsu Gojo (Evo) with near-infinite range is arguably the most impactful single unit. Both are Secret rarity and need evolution.

What are the best traits in Anime Crusaders?

Crusader is the top trait — it massively boosts damage. Other strong traits vary by unit, but anything that increases DPS or crit rate is worth keeping. Use Divine Tokens to reroll traits on your S-tier units first.

What's the best starter unit in Anime Crusaders?

Goku is the most popular starter pick. He's a Hill unit that can handle air enemies early, and his evolution path leads to one of the best S-tier units in the game. Solid choice from minute one to endgame.

What's the best farm unit?

Speedwagon (Epic) is the go-to economy unit. He's not a damage dealer — his job is generating extra income during stages. Lloyd/Loid also works as a farm unit. Keep one in your lineup for resource stages.

How do I get Secret rarity units?

Summoning with Gems. Secret units have very low drop rates, but there's a pity system at around 400 summons. Save your Gems for banner rotations featuring the Secret unit you want. Redeem all available codes first for a Gems boost.

Does this tier list change with updates?

Yes. The devs rebalance units and add new ones regularly. The JoJo Update 4.5 added Crusader Pucci and shifted the meta. We update this list after major patches.
