Updated on November 19, 2025: Added all new Chainsaw Man units and Mr. Champion who I forgot to add in the previous update. My bad. I also reranked some units.
The best unit in Anime Crusaders depends on both what role you need whether its Hybrid/Hill/Ground DPS or support as well as the element. I'll show you the strongest units for all roles and I'll rank them within their roles from left to right. I'll also give you the best Traits and Curses for all units. Here's my Anime Crusaders tier list and best unit guide.

Anime Crusaders Unit Tier List
This Anime Crusaders unit tier list analyzes the best units for both progression and Infinite according to their position and role whether it's DPS or Support. I'll also include best Traits/Curses. In short, the best DPS units are the secrets with the caveat of Igrith needing Sun Woo to shine (Though he is Hybrid). Supports are just as important as DPS so Speedcart for farm is always good. That said important support units also include those who can slow/stun/freeze (Ukia and Koichy are Meta for Story). I've also provided a list of alternative DPS options that includes budget-friendly units for beginners. Let's dive into each unit individually below.
Quick Note: I ranked all units according to their evolution stats so at the peak of their potential with good stats. I did not rank Rares and Epics because they are mostly filler units for beginners but there are some awesome Epics like Speedwagon for farm and some great DPS/starter Epics for beginners.
Raids: For Raids always track damage types and the recommended ones for the raid. Lower-Tier units with the recommended damage type automatically become a higher-Tier unit when it comes to Raids.
S-Tier Hybrid
| Hybrid Units | Tips |
|---|---|
  Akuzo > Akuzo VS Renkuro Mythic > Crusader |
• The first Crusader rarity unit evolved from the Akuzo Mythic and it becomes Hybrid in Evo with a massive DPS boost • Deals massive damage on Burning enemies so combine with Burn units like Chonin • Also marks enemies to take bonus physical damage from your team • Just an overall Hybrid powerhouse that requires a Burn teammate to deal massive damage with Final Clash active • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Dracula (Vampire King) Halloween Banner Secret |
• Becomes Hybrid on Upgrade and deals massive Cone and AOE Bleed DPS while stacking his damage and cooldown on kills • On Upgrade 10 the special mode he goes in boosts damage even higher and summons Hounds from base to both deal damage and further buff his cooldowns • He even serves as an off-Support with Blood Thirsty which increases damage dealt to enemies within his range by 10% buffing your other units • Overall a Hybrid powerhouse and the best Dark unit in the game • Best Trait: Crusader or Radiant • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Denshi (Chainsaw) Mythic |
• A build-specific Hybrid Bleed unit that goes well with Hidan/Alucard for Bleed synergy and Maki/Female units for passive (See below) • Curse and Trait should be attack speed for the damage boost on every 5th attack • That said, he's a bit a weird to build effectively since you need Female units in his range for more damage/range • Overall he can deal excellent DPS with Female units like Maki/Kurimi, Ries for the Fire boost or Daume, otherwise there are better Hybrids • Best Trait: Crusader, Radiant or Overdrive • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Rose (Fallen Blossom) Secret |
• Decent Circle AOE Hybrid unit that, while not build-specific as Denshi, doesn't have the best passives IMO • The on-placement explosion can be really good for Story progression but sucks for Infinite • Her second passive where she places a high damage bomb only works well if you manage to focus down that unit and kill it • Plus, while the second passive can be good AOE damage, it's on a chunky 25-second cooldown • Overall, Rose isn't my favorite Secret nor Hybrid due to the passives but she can still dish out really good DPS • You don't want Crusaders here since you want a lot of placements • Best Trait: Radiant, Biohazard, Eclipse • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Brulo (Rage) Secret |
• Brulo is one of the best units in Anime Crusaders both in the base and Evo forms • He simply deals sustained DPS and then does a nuke every 10 attacks for massive damage and range • He also stacks up to 15% damage for himself based on how surrounded he is (For every enemy in range) • Pretty much all the secrets are OP so you can't go wrong with either of them • The only issue is that you have to upgrade for him to become Hybrid so keep that in mind • Best Trait: Crusader or Radiant • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Kurimi (Time Queen) Secret |
• Kurimi is Hybrid thanks to the clones she spawns to attack Flying on each of her attacks and these get a massive buff from Zaphkiel's Clockwork • Her Zaphkiel's Clockwork is a massive AOE timestop that also deals damage and buffs her Hybrid clones • This is one of the best abilities in the game making her a DPS with a support option and while it has a massive cooldown of 90s each kill reduces this • She also stacks her own damage by just existing and using ZC doubles this damage buff for an up to +60% damage • We're eating good this update when it comes to Secrets • Best Trait: Crusader or Radiant • Best Curse: RNG+ DMG- |
 Shadow (Atomic) Secret |
• Unlike Brulo who's just consistent by himself, Shadow deals incredible DPS too but requires a unit like Shunks for the stuns • That's because his crit boost passive works only on stunned enemies • Still a strong unit but I prefer Brulo personally • Hybrid on upgrades • Best Trait: Radiant • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 King Daily Release Event Mythic |
• King is quite a decent and flexible unit even without an EVO • He becomes hybrid at Upgrade 6 • His Absolute Flame, burn damage and overall AOE DPS are quite impressive • Especially in Ascended form with Crusader (Worth it because he's hybrid) • I had a lot of success with him in Tournaments and he's also great for matchmaking but I think there are better ones for Infinite • That said if you're lacking Secret Hybrids, bring King for Infinite too, he won't disappoint • Best Trait: Crusader or Radiant • Best Curse: DMG+ RNG- |
A-Tier Hybrid
| Unit | Tips |
|---|---|
 Igrith (Blood Commander) Event Secret |
• The upgraded Evo has Hybrid • While all the Secret units are OP, the reason I'm not a huge fan of Igrith is because he needs Sun Woo to shine • This sucks because you can't reliably get two secrets right of the bat and even if you do that's two slots taken just to make Igrith good • That said, Igrith is still Hybrid and can do decent DPS by himself and he just gets better with SWJ due to the special interaction • It's one of the most powerful combos in the game right now which you can only get via the Event banner • Best Trait: Crusader or Radiant • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Hidoh (Deathless Reaper) Halloween Banner 2 Mythic |
• What is it with the Halloween UPD 2 units and being DPS/Support Hybrids but Hidoh is an amazing Hybrid on UPG paired with Bleed units like Alucard since he buffs Bleed • That said he also deals really good Cone AOE Hybrid damage and gets more damage on bleeding units • Lastly he has an active on a 20s CD that full AOE slashes all enemies for a really good damage burst • Overall, run him with Alucard for the Bleed synergy the same way you would run Akuza VS Rengoku with Chonin for the Burn synergy • Best Trait: Crusader or Radiant • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Seraph (Fallen) Mythic |
• Hybrid on placement which makes Seraph one of the best progression units • Works well with other Magic units due to the debuff but overall buffs all units for +25% damage for 15s every 60s • This off-Support capabilities and his Fallen Angel state make him a decent off-DPS off-Support option to fill up a team and his DPS isn't bad • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Getu (Master of Curses) Mythic |
• Getu is a summoner unit that works like a hybrid because the units he summons can hit ground and air enemies • The summons are incredibly tanky • One of the best beginner friendly units for grinding progression • Best Trait: Biohazard or Radiant • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
B-Tier Hybrid
| Unit | Tips |
|---|---|
 Slime (Demon Lord) Mythic |
• Slime deals great DPS but that devour damage boost effect is pretty situational if you don't kill the target • Plus this unit is ground only and there are plenty of better ground options • Get via the BattlePass • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Enol (Drums) Mythic |
• Alternative Hybrid • If you're wondering how a Mythic can be compared to Secrets in the same category, it's because Enol is a Hybrid on placement • He deals really good DPS that's easier to access than a Secret • He can also do a massive damage burst on enemies due to his ability that removes CC effects like slow/stun for a single-target nuke • Best combined with high frequency slowing/stunning support units like Goju, Shunks, etc. • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: DMG+ RNG- |
 Tanjuru (Hinokami) Mythic |
• A decent Hybrid unit on Evo upgrade because he stacks up damage on enemy kills to enter Sunfire Rage for less cooldown • That said he's not the best since his true damage passive is every 15 seconds and the Harmonic Flow requires Giu who you won't always bring • Best Traits: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: DMG+ RNG- |
S-Tier Ground
| Meta Ground Units | Tips |
|---|---|
 Zero (True Emperor) Secret |
• Zero/Lelouch is a powerful AOE DPS/buff support hybrid increasing damage of all units within range by 10% and single-target buffing units with chess pieces • The single target chess buffs are all about stacking +20% damage with Knight for your DPS carries and Queen piece for range/CD on RNG scalers like Kurimi • Then for DPS Zero summons a Knight to deal damage and can also nuke (UPG10) all enemies on the map for 2000% damage once per match per player which is amazing on Raids and Progression • Best Traits: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Karakuri (Mochi Prince) Secret (Get From Raid) |
• A powerful full AOE 3 placement off-DPS and Support unit with 2 weird passives and 1 really strong one that AOE stuns • The 2 weird ones buff his damage on round start and the second one's damage buff works if he attacks a unit while no other units are in range • This makes him a better placement in the back for bosses HOWEVER his final upgrade full AOE+Stun wants you to place him on chokepoints in front • Apart from the weird placement, his last passive is overpowered stunning all enemies in range for 10s on a 20s cooldown and 100s global cooldown • This King's Force stun also reduces Karakuri's CD by 50% • Best Traits: Radiant or Biohazard (Don't go Crusaders and buff 3 placements with Useless Goddess for amazing DPS) • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Tengin (God of Echoes) Portal Secret |
• Between his Crit Rate boost and his Explosive Precision passive Tengin will be critting and dealing amazing DPS • The Flashy God also ensures you're throwing out constant Explosion Marbles for sustained damage and stacking up cooldown reduction • Overall a very simple but effective unit that outputs a lot of critical damage • Best Traits: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Sun Woo (System) Event Secret |
• All about summoning a ton of high DPS units and then buffing himself for each of them • The Evo summons an elite shadow that copies your starts so it'll get buffed by the shadow damage passive too • Overall tons of damage and utility • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Nagu (Blade Trickster) Secret |
• The Disguise unit copy ability can be used in so many ways so Nagu is very flexible to cover all roles Ground/Hill/Hybrid • That said, you mainly want him for the massive Crit boost but you have to copy 5 different units which is a bit slow • He's better in Infinite since you usually have more time • Put Crusader on him and stack up his passive then copy your top DPS for amazing damage • Works better with Secrets and Mythics that just have raw stats instead of passives like Lao or Ant King • Best Trait: Crusader or Radiant • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Powaa (Blood Queen) Mythic |
• Powaa is more of an Infinite unit since she needs to apply Bleed to stack her Blood Meter to activate her Blood Fiend form • Once in Blood Fiend you get a major DPS boost with Hammer being good for wave clear, Spear if you need another Hybrid unit and Scythe for boss-killing • Overall she's an incredibly flexible unit but she's a little slow to pop off in Story • Best Trait: Crusader or Radiant • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Psycho (???) Event Mythic |
• Actually one of the best AOE Mythics in the game in my opinion and better than Reigen on occassion • This is because he's extremely flexibile and deals impressive DPS • He can become a Hybrid unit with his meter active or drastically boost his or your team's damage • He's all about stacking his Psycho meter and stacking up damage boosts with his Psychic Aura passive • As for the meter, you fill it by killing enemies and can then toggle it for three options like becoming Hybrid, boosting damage or boosting team damage • Just a powerhouse of a unit • Best Trait: Crusader or Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: DMG+ RNG- |
 Maki (Authority) Boss Rush Secret |
• Scales damage and cooldown based on how many are inside of her range up to +30% Damage and -10% CD • Also stacks damage and range on kills and once you get 5 stacks they reset to 0 and she deals a high burst damage hit • Overall a high damage and reliable Circle AOE DPS unit that's not flashy but is effective and boosts Denshi if you want to run him too • Best Trait: Crusader or Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: DMG+ RNG- |
 Reijin (Strongest Esper) Event Secret |
• In my opinion not the best secret but still does great Cone AOE damage and has a full AOE option on upgrade • Scales with Magic Type units within range, gaining +2% damage up to 20% which is okay • That said, he deals 25% more damage to bosses which is really good • Plus, he has a +1000% burst damage abilities every 30 seconds with Gratitude and Punch • Overall, a strong Meta unit, especially for Infinite • Best Trait: Crusader or Radiant • Best Curse: Just don't reduce range |
 Fat Hitman (Serious) Mythics |
• Ramps up to deal amazing damage with the full passive and the echo attacks, especially with Crusader but Radiant also works really well if you have a Crusader Secret • Takes 50 attacks to reach peak stats so he's a bit bad on placement so you a slightly slow unit to start up • Really strong on Infinite since you have time to stack him up • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: DMG+ RNG- |
A-Tier Ground
| Unit | Tips |
|---|---|
 Ake (Fatebound) Mythic |
• Requires Seraph to be competitive for the damage, range and cooldown buff • You want him for clearing crowds since the Fox passive deals more damage the more enemies are in range • Seraph makes this good since Ake reduces the Fox cooldown if Seraph is near from 20s to 15s which adds up fast • It's a sub-meta unit because you need another sub-meta unit for Ake to be fully effective but that Fox passive is really good • Best Trait: Radiant or Aurora • Best Curse: RNG+ SPA- |
 Lao (Heart) Secret |
• On one hand Lao doesn't have any passives for extra utility but on the other, he has the highest base damage in the game with the Evo • Just a simple high DPS unit that you can't go wrong with • Best Trait: Crusader or Radiant • Best Curse: DMG+ RNG- |
 Bones (Soul Guitarist) Halloween Banner 1 Mythic |
• Bones is a sub-Meta DPS and Support hybrid ramping his damage with kills using Soul Drain • He also ramps his damage further on each attack with Encore and on the fifth attack he deals a Burn damage burst and resets this damage bonus so you want a ton of attack speed • The support part comes from Final Movement which triggers every 60s once maxing our the kills on Soul Drain • Final Movement gives Bones max crit chance, lowers cooldowns by 20% and buffs ally Cooldown for the same value • Overall he's a really useful off-DPS Support if you have a Ground slot • Best Trait: Radiant • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Ryoma (Sword God) Halloween Banner 1 Mythic |
• Ryoma is simply just a great sub-Meta DPS alternative that ramps up his damage if he keeps attacking the same enemy so he's a great boss killer • That said he also has some great crowd clearing potential since he can execute non-boss enemies below 10% HP which reduces his cooldown by up to -15% • Just a flexibile unit with respectable DPS but not a Crusader target • Best Trait: Radiant or Aurora or Overdrive • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Boo (Ultimate) Mythic |
• Stacks up damage when enemies die near him and at 50 starts doing echo attacks which are basically attack follow-ups • Incredibly strong with the top-tier damage traits • One of the best Mythic alternatives for infinite in addition to Goko on Hill • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Alfonz (Kind Heart) BattlePass Mythic |
• Quite a decent DPS unit if you can play around the gimmick of making sure he doesn't stop attacking for a massive +58% damage, range and SPA buff • He also slams the ground every 20 seconds dealing damage and debuffing enemies which can be a slow so he can be an off Support sometimes • Best placement is near the enemy entrance and skipping waves or on cross-sections so that enemies keep pouring in and he keeps attacking • The best BattlePass Mythic so far • Best Trait: Radiant or Eclipse or Aurora • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Shaoten (Dizzy) Mythic |
• Shaoten is a bit luck based due to her Dizzy effect where she misses 1 in 10 attacks on average but she deals so much damage • With Crusader I had her reach near Secret level DPS numbers though I was high rolling with not a lot of misses • Overall, she can feel really bad if you keep missing but her Dizzy damage boost has massive potential for Ground • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: DMG+ RNG- |
 Claw (Boss) Event Mythic |
• Slow to get going since his fist attack deals less damage but then attacks after that ramp up a lot by dealing +30% damage • He's built to be placed in an isolated spot since he decreases nearby unit damage but boosts his own • Also ignores enemy shields • Overall has a specific isolated position play style, deals respectable damage but doesn't synergize well with other units • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: DMG+ RNG- |
 Toju (Mercenary) Mythic |
• Deals tons of Bleed damage and that stops enemy regen • Stacks crit and overall nukes bosses since his single-target damage is insane • The best Mythic boss killer for Infinite • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: DMG+ RNG- |
 Haein (Sword Queen) Event Mythic |
• Alternative Ground • Haein is all about marking enemies and dealing tons of damage to them • She's lower on the list because the mark targets random enemies so you can't mark important enemies when you want • Still, the DPS speaks for itself and a great budget trait on her is Overdrive so her Evo 5th attack passive procs more often • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: DMG+ RNG- |
 Ghost-san (Bounded) Halloween 2 Banner Mythic |
• I'm not a huge fan of Ghost-san for progression since he's a really slow unit that takes a while (300 kills) to stack his Spectral Ritual for the clone • He might be an infinite unit only IMO since you need faster units for progression and non-infinite • His high SPA also means that if you don't place him well to hit as many units with his Cone AOE, you'll be waiting a long before his next attack • That said if you manage to stack his Spectral Ritual in Raids and Infinite he can be really good with SPA increasing units • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
B-Tier Ground
| Unit | Tips |
|---|---|
 Enmo (Nightmare) Mythic |
• A decent crowd-clearing unit for AOE damage due to his debuff that makes enemies explode • Great for clearing groups in both progression and infinite but I don't think he's meta because he doesn't do well against bosses • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: DMG+ RNG- |
 Edwao (Fullmetal) BattlePass |
• Edwao is not the best because you need Alfonz but Alfonz doesn't need Edwao to be good • His passives are okay and have decent synergy but even in Evo his DPS is quite middle of the line • I mean this is okay, not every unit has to be OP powercreep and he is a free battlepass unit so there's that • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: DMG+ RNG- |
 Hie (Black Dragon) BattlePass |
• Alternative Ground • He can be quite strong but you have to learn how to play him and prioritize lower HP units with his Evo since he'll do decent DPS to enemies below 50% HP • There are better options though • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: DMG+ RNG- |
 Ichi (Dusk) Mythic |
• Alternative Ground • Okay so Ichi requires a bit of setup but can deal decent damage with his transformation • You have to stack up Soul Bind, detonate them to transform and then keep killing units to extend the transformation buff • Really good at dealing with crowds but overall not the best Mythic • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Ant King (Shadow Fang) Event Mythic |
• Alternative Ground • Just an overall decent DPS ground unit that deals great sustained damage • No special ability so I ended up putting him at the bottom of Ground since he doesn't have huge DPS like Law who also doesn't have a special • Note that he's from the limited event banner - Solo Leveling • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: DMG+ RNG- |
 Jiro Tournament Mythic |
• Like Kensu who is also a tournament unit, Jiro isn't the best ground to bring to infinite. • He's definitely better than Kensu and he has a damage boost (+25%) synergy when the Mythic Goko unit is near. • With the Hill Goko synergy and his +1% damage per unit in range passive he can be decent in tournaments and general matchmaking • There are still better Ground units though • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: Don't reduce range |
 Kensu Tournament Mythic |
• Kensu's decent base stats make him okay in Tournament • That said I wouldn't bring him for general matchmaking/Infinite • This unit is extremely underpowered for now until it gets some buffs or a passive at least • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: DMG+ RNG- |
S-Tier Hill
| Meta Hill Units | Tips |
|---|---|
 Chonin (Flame Master) Mythic |
• Update: Incredibly strong now with Akuro VS Renkuro Crusader unit due to the Burn synergy • A great alternative to Goko but Chonin is limited for the Solo Leveling event • Slightly weaker DPS than Goko for Infinite • That said Chonin does great Burn damage and deals even more damage to Frozen enemies so combine him with Freeze units like Ukia • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: SPA+ DMG- |
 Golden Spirit (Divine) Event Mythic |
• Dimple deals burst damage whenever enemies enter his range • He also stacks damage boosts up to +25% for each second an enemy remains in his range • Quite a decent Hill unit to bring on Evo and his Golden Missiles boost his DPS even higher on later upgrades • Best Traits: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: Don't reduce range |
 Heisou (Bird Sniper) Mythic |
• The best range in the game so you can place him to cover pretty much the whole map with his Sharp-Eyed Scout, especially on Infinite • Ramps up damage on attacks and has great crit and auto crit on 5th attack so attack speed Traits are great here like with Hie • Best Traits: Radiant or Overdrive • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
A-Tier Hill
| Meta Hill Units | Tips |
|---|---|
 Daume (Crimson Obi) Mythic |
• You might think she's a boss killer due to her strong Bleed but her Cruel Authority makes her excellent at clearing crowds • She also stacks up her damage when killing Bleeding targets • You can switch her priority to a boss after she's stacked to deal really good damage with the right traits • Best Traits: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Goko (Super III) Mythic |
• A decent overall Hill unit • The main DPS comes from the damage ramp-up passive on kills • Comboes well with Jiren if you wanna run that but just keep in mind it's not a Meta combo • Best Traits: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Ries (Crimson Princess) Halloween Banner 1 Mythic |
• Overall not the best DPS but can still be good for beginners if you don't have other Hill options • I wouldn't run it if you have higher-tier Hill units • That said if you do want to run it it's a good Fire/Burn unit for supporting other Fire units with its passive • Best Traits: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
S-Tier Support
| Meta Support Units | Tips |
|---|---|
 Mr. Champion Legendary |
• A Meta buff unit for Physical Type of which there are many Meta Physical DPS units so Mr. Satan is God-tier • Buffs all Physical units within range for up to 70% based on upgrade level which is MASSIVE • Plus he's also a Hybrid which is not too shabby, easily the best Legendary IMO • Best Traits: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: RNG+ DMG- |
 Shunks (Haki) Mythic |
• Shunks actually has DPS comparable to other great DPS units but I chose to put him in Support because he does stun enemies and sets them up for other Metas • That said Shunks can do crazy damage by himself because of his ability that increases his damage against low HP enemies • Best Traits: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: RNG+ DMG- |
 Giu (Silent Flow) Mythic |
• Giu is like Shunks in that he deals pretty decent DPS with his Tidal Reflex and Tide of Strikes on Upgrade 8 • That said, he's a Support because his Upgrade 8 Flowing Clam is an AOE slow that both deals damage and cripples enemies • Flowing Clam also hits flying enemies which makes Giu one of the best supports in the game and a pseudo-hybrid • Best Traits: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Blur (Charming Cat) Halloween 2 Banner Mythic |
• Halloween 2 Banner brought us a ton of support/DPS hybrids but Blur is a full slow-based support that's actually pretty good • Her attacks also increase the damage your other units deal to enemies by 10% (All Sources) • She's basically a better version of Koichy so try to get her CD as low as possible for the most Slows and Damage increases and ignore her DPS |
 Rio Mythic - Infinity Castle |
• Rio does two things really well • First she's great for high HP bosses due to her flat %HP damage with Snip Snip • Second, she supports allies by giving them a chunky 30% damage boost and a range boost • Luckily the devs coded it so that this random buff doesn't end up on your Farm and Buff units so it will only go on DPS and off-DPS units • Best Traits: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: RNG+ DMG- |
  Speedcart & Loid Epic & Legendary |
• An always-useful pair of units in any team for economy/farm - The only two farms in the game • Rush Speedcart early but Loid is better later |
 AI (Idol) Mythic |
• Makes your units cheaper which is always useful, definitely one of the better support alternatives but you don't always need her |
A-Tier Support
| Unit | Tips |
|---|---|
 Goju (Supreme) Mythic |
• Goju is incredibly OP as a support unit because he can simply AOE timestop enemies and freeze them • Works amazing for progression but mainly great for Infinite • Best Traits: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: RNG+ DMG- |
 Useless Goddess Legendary |
• Useless Goddess is a bit niche by being a Magic Type unit buffer increasing all Magic damage by 10% to 60% within her range scaling with upgrades • This means she's incredible with 3 placements of Karakuri and other Magic types but useless otherwise so bring her for Raids where you can exploit Magic |
 Sweet Witch Mythic - Infinity Castle |
• I'm really not a fan of the "not attacking" ability to get a boost since this game is all about sustained DPS • That said the Witches Snare Magical Debuff is a really good supportive ability and she does okay damage • Still, not the best unit in the game • Best Trait: Radiant or Biohazard • Best Curse: SPA+ RNG- |
 Ukia Legendary |
• A META Support for story • You can pick her up easily of a regular banner like the Legendaries above and you should for progression and infinite • Best Traits: Radiant or Overdrive • Best Curse: SPA+ DMG- |
 Koichy Legendary |
• Koichy is my favorite budget support for slowing enemies and aiding your other towers so he's a Meta for Story • Really powerful slow and effect and decent DPS • Best Traits: Radiant or Overdrive • Best Curse: SPA+ DMG- |
 Greybeard Legendary |
• Again, similar to other TD games like Anime Final Strike, Graybeard is a slowing support unit and pretty much an alternative to Koichy • He's also full AOE so you can't pass on that utility • Best Traits: Radiant or Overdrive • Best Curse: SPA+ DMG- |
Beginner Units
| Alt Options | Tips |
|---|---|
 Tanjuru Legendary |
• When it comes to Legendaries I prefer the support Legendaries but Tanjuru deals pretty good Ground damage • He can be a worthwhile Leggy to get first as you're starting out and fill the Hill role with Freeza |
    Freeza/Rose/Ureo/Yuji Legendary |
• Filler Legendaries as you're starting • Freeza and Ureo are really good budget Hill DPSs where Freeza is slightly better • Rose is best Legendary for Ground |
     Best Epic/Rare |
• Here are the best Epics in the game for beginners • Gone is the best Epic in the game for Ground with Makunouchi being a close second • Friezo and Stork are the best for Hill • Sanje was my best starter early |
