Anime Squadron Tier List for the Current Update
Ranking criteria: role value, investment cost, current update confidence, community signal, and whether the unit still helps after early progression.
This is a role-first list. A unit can be S-tier in economy or support without being the best raw DPS.

Best Anime Squadron Units by Role
Best teams usually combine one main DPS, one economy unit, one support or control unit, and a tank or survival option for longer stages.
Best DPS Units
Berserker, Gometa, Puppeteer, Woo, and Madora are the strongest current DPS signals. Build only one expensive carry at a time.
Best Boss Units
Berserker, Madora, and Shanron are strong boss picks when their DoT or long-fight value can play out.
Best Support Units
Shinks, Rudaus, and Falcon support builds matter when your DPS already clears basic waves.
Best Farm Units
Fastwagon is the safest farm target. Falcon and economy trait setups can help when your account needs cheaper upgrades.
Anime Squadron Meta Units and Team Examples
- Early: starter DPS, Fastwagon or economy unit, any range support, one cheap tank.
- Midgame: one A-tier or S-tier carry, Fastwagon, Shinks/Rudaus support, Shield Hero or Skeleton Knight.
- Endgame: Gometa or Berserker carry, Shinks support, Fastwagon economy, Aizen or Skeleton Knight for survival.
Anime Squadron Meta
When players ask for the Anime Squadron meta, they usually need the units, traits, gears, and team roles worth building in the current update.
For this update, the meta signal is not just a single S-tier row. It is a practical team shape: one premium carry, one economy unit, one support or control unit, and survival when hard modes require it.
Best Traits and Gears for Top Units
Superior and Cloner are the safest premium trait goals. Entrepreneur belongs on farm units. Omega/Shenron DPS gear is strongest after evolution; Aizen gear is better when long-fight scaling matters.
Beginner Units Worth Keeping
Keep one usable carry, one economy unit, and any support with a useful trait. Do not burn reroll resources on C-tier filler unless it is your only progress path.
What Changed in This Tier List Update
UPD 0.75 introduced code and event signals, while current tier-list sources continue to place Gometa, Aizen/Puppeteer, Berserker, Woo, Madora, and economy support high. Baras and Garu should remain Testing until more data appears.
