Anime Story Tier List - Best Units [UPD 4]

The best units in Anime Story depend on what role you need and what game mode you’re playing. I’ll show you the best single-target, AOE, Tank and Support units to bring to all game modes, even for farming. Here’s my Anime Story tier list and unit guide.

Best Anime Story Unit Tier List

I’ve split the tier list into three sections for the best DPS units in Anime Story like single-target and AOE as well as best Tanks and Supports. I’ll provide individual ranking reasons for all of them below. Afterwards, I’ll talk about the best teams in the game for Raids, Progression/Tower and Farming as well as best Traits and Relics to use. For now, here are the tier breakdowns:

Meta: Must-have units that transcend roles due to incredible DPS and utility.
S-Tier: There are three tiers like this for DPS/Tanks/Supports which include the best units within their role.
A-Tier: Either situationally powerful or build-specific units that are excellent alternatives if you don’t have the S-Tiers. There are three tiers like this for DPS/Tanks/Supports.
B-Tier: Underpowered DPS Mythics that are good early but struggle in late-game content.
C-Tier: Beginner units that you shouldn’t use in the later stages of the game.

Evolutions: I have ranked all units according to their EVO stats taking into account their highest potential. You can consider that the Non-EVO equivalents are either on the bottom of the same tier or one tier below. For example, base non-EVO Pride is still an S-/A+ Tier tank.

Meta DPS

A DPS	Ranking Reason	Ability
Dark Assassin Mythic Single-Target	• One of the best units in the game for Raids where he can execute low HP enemies • This gets you a ton of value since enemies have incredibly high HPs here • Otherwise, he has A-Tier DPS or lower outside of Raids and end-game content	Executes the target if it has 25% or less HP remaining
Gray (Ultimate) Mythic 5-Target	• Really good AOE DPS but the ability is slightly awkward if Gray doesn’t take hits or you don’t get lucky with crits • That’s why he’s lower in the A-Tier	Each Crit you land, heal for 1.5% Max HP
Wrath (Fury) Mythic Single-Target	• Situationally good healing units like Roku (Rose), Orihime or Sakura and with Gluttony/Merlin to buff him • In these builds Wrath can deal both great AOE and single-target damage • Otherwise you don’t get much value from the ability so Wrath is very situational	35% chance to return 150% DMG to the attacker
Time Angel Mythic 3-Target	• A decent filler DPS, especially if you proc the ability on a high damage enemy • That said, Time Angel doesn’t have a lot of synergy with other units so there’s no OP combo potential and he doesn’t scale well with buffs • He’s A-Tier for raw stats alone	Every round start, 30% chance to make an enemy attack its allies

S Tank	Ranking Reason	Ability
Shadow Knight Secret Single-Target	• Incredibly good tank in quick fights that don’t drag on since he’s unkillable for a short period of time	Gain a Damage Immunity Shield for 2 turns after the first time this unit takes a Fatal Hit
Pride (Sun) Mythic Single-Target	• The counterpart of Shadow Knight that deals more damage after death and is slightly better in longer fights	Increase DMG by 50% and after death, revive with 250% HP and 250% ATK
Greed (Fox) Exclusive/Limited Single-Target	• Very high-risk high-reward Tank that can last a long time if he deals good damage and is supported by a healer • That said if you don’t have a healer like Roku Rose or Orihime to keep him from getting killed, he’s much worse than Pride and SK if he dies • This is because Greed doesn’t have a revive mechanic	Convert 75% of your DMG to HP
Titan Mythic 2-Target	• Titan is the weakest revive Tank but is still quite reliable as your starter tank until you get Pride or SK	Revives to 50% Max HP and gains a 50% DMG Boost after the first time this unit takes a Fatal Hit

A Tank	Ranking Reason	Ability
Ultimate Warrior Mythic Single-Target	• A DPS tank hybrid that’s less reliable Defense wise but deals more damage than the average tank unit	When stunned, deal 200% DMG on the next attack
Ruki Legendary Single-Target	• Your starter tank before you get Titan or the higher-tier ones	Reduce incoming Damage by 30%

S Support	Ranking Reason	Ability
Silent Bloom (Kageyoshi) Mythic 3-Target	• One of the best supports in the entire game, massively boosting your team’s damage • Works great with high base damage units in the S and A-Tiers • Also deals impressive AOE damage himself	Upon entry, buff all allies’ Critical Chance by +30%
Lust Mythic Single-Target	• A quick little damage boost for all your units due to the Mark • Deals decent single-target damage • Works better with high single-target base damage units to make the most of the mark boost	Upon enter, Mark all enemiess to deal 30% more DMG on them
Roku (Rose) Limited/Exclusive 5-Target	• The best healer in the game if you have him • Works amazing for all modes to heal tanks and especially good with units who love heals like Wrath or Greed	At the start of the round, heal all allies for 25% Max HP
Gojin Mythic Single-Target	• A great alternative support option to keep your tanks and primary DPS alive for longer	Upon enter, debuff all enemies to deal -25% less Damage

A Tank	Ranking Reason	Ability
Gluttony Exclusive/Limited Single-Target	• Can be quite powerful in a full Sin team but this is incredibly situational • That said, even in a full Sin team, while Pride is good, Wrath isn’t the best main DPS without a healing support • Greed also requires a healer to be good • Gluttony can carry you in story but I would much rather have Silent Bloom as support instead of Sloth for Raids and late-game content	Buff all Seven Deadly Sins units Wrath, Lust, Envy, Sloth, Pride, Greed
White Lotus (Haze) Mythic Single-Target	• A decent support but the ability is a bit unreliable since you can’t do it at will and must get this unit killed to benefit from it • Quite situational	Upon death Freeze 4 random enemies
Soul Guardian Legendary Single-Target	• A decent heal option if you don’t have Roku Rose • That said, the healing is unreliable so this unit isn’t the best to bring	20% to heal all teammates by 10%
Sloth Mythic 2-Target	• Similar to Soul Guardian where Sloth can be really strong but the proc chance is so low that you might not get value as often • Still a stun is one of the most powerful debuffs in the game once you activate it	10% to stun and apply a Mark on each attack
