The best units in Roblox Anime Expeditions aren’t just Secrets since there are some really powerful Mythics. Plus, besides best DPS and best Traits, I’ll also rank the best support units for buffs, debuffs and stalling. Here’s my Anime Expeditions unit tier list and guide.

Once you check out the tier list above, dive into the individual ranking reasons and best traits for each unit below. As for starting out, get the Time Chamber unit and start with Ban and Riyo for DPS and stalling Legendaries for support (See below). Then try to get the A and S-Tier Mythics for DPS and some of the Support ones for mid-to-late game before you try to go for Secrets.
Best Beginner Units: Ban/Greed and Riyo/Scissors for DPS and other Legendaries for support.
Best Traits: See below for each unit (Investor for Farm).
Tier Order: Note that units within a tier are not ordered from best to worst and the order is arbitrary.
S-Tier DPS
| Unit | Ranking Reason |
|---|---|
 Crow (Black Fire) | • The Black Fire DoT deals massive damage to bosses, especially with Unbound • The reason Draconic isn’t better is because you cannot reapply the DoT until it expires (Draconic is still good in a pinch) • Crow is a Meta bosskiller Best Trait: Unbound (Alt. Draconic) Equipment: Illusion Crow |
 Dark Mage (Sovereign) | • While Dark Mage has support potential with his freezes he’s much better as a Meta DPS with Lightning • That said, note that once he switches to Lightning mode it’s better to set his targeting to None so he stays in Lightning mode • This will make him a Full AOE unit since enemies will passively take damage within his range and he won’t switch to Freeze since he’s not attacking • Combine this with Unbound and he’s a Meta AOE crowd clearing monster Best Trait: Unbound Equipment: Dark Scepter |
 8th Sword (Berserk) | • Full AOE Meta DPS unit with the highest damage numbers in the game • Combine with Unbound and crit items to reach god-tier DPS • I got him to 60k+ but I feel I could min-max him more • Better damage than Shadow but Shadow has support utility so they’re about equal in power Best Trait: Unbound Equipment: Hair Bells (Spirit City Act 1) |
 Shadow (Divine) | • Amazing Meta Summoner DPS unit • Has incredible DPS and Support potential with the Domain that pushes enemies and buffs magic units • Overall second-best DPS unit in the game behind 8th Sword Best Trait: Unbound Equipment: Hexed Blade (Crafting) |
 Cursed Student (True Love) | • Meta Summoner and can copy units like Elf Mage for Meta damage • DPS can be massively boosted with Unbound due to scaling • Draconic is decent too for the DoT boost but Forsaken and Unbound are overall mathematically higher DPS • Bat follow ups and overall bleed damage make him extremely strong Best Trait: Forsaken/Unbound Equipment: Promise Ring (School Grounds Mastery Hard) |
 Puppet (Telekinetic) | • An amazing mix of massive DPS and support potential • The support comes from the damage amplification effect and you can mark two enemies with Optics • One of if not the best Mythic in the game since you can run him both as a DPS with Unbound or a support with Optics Best Trait: Unbound for DPS/Optics for Support Equipment: Calamity’s Eye (Fairy King Forest Mastery Hard) |
 Elf Mage (Unleashed) | • A follow-up attack Meta DPS machine that’s cheaper than secrets • Scales incredibly well with crits for massive AOE damage • Combos well with Cursed Student for the copy Best Trait: Unbound/Forsaken Equipment: Elven Battle Staff (King’s Tomb Mastery Hard) |
A-Tier DPS
| Unit | Ranking Reason |
|---|---|
 Razorjaw (Hunter) | • A strong sub-Meta alternative to due the roar for utility and also boosting crit chance • The stagger is a really useful stun/stalling mechanic • Plus you have a full line/path nuke for clearing crowds Best Trait: Unbound/Forsaken Equipment: Predator’s Skull |
 Lady Giant (Envy) | • Your main damage comes from Giant form even though it slows attack speed • The sub-Meta DPS levels are from when you combine Giant form with Primordial/Unbound attack speed buff and also items that boost attack speed for massive damage • Also has some support utility with walls Best Trait: Unbound/Primordial Equipment: Boulder (Fairy King Forest Mastery Hard) |
 Soul Reaper (Released) | • A full critical-based DPS unit that’s just near S-Tier but is A-Tier because of lower base damage • That said, if you boost him with crit items and Forsaken for max crit his self-buffs propel him to A+/S- • I don’t recommend Unbound since he scales really well with placements for more buffs and clones Best Trait: Forsaken Equipment: Spirit of the Moonblade (Spirit City Act 1) |
 String Demon (Awakened) | • An impressive DPS/Support that has an amazing CC/Stall passive • Deals lower damage than S-Tiers but even though he’s a CC Support the string attacks deal quite impressive damage Best Trait: Unbound Equipment: Webbed Fruit (Rose Kingdom Mastery Hard) |
 Crimson (Brother) | • Amazing A-Tier DoT DPS due to constant bleeds • There’s massive AOE potential here with the markings that explode • Plus he’s not reliant on other units like the B-Tiers Best Trait: Unbound but works with pretty much all traits except Forsaken |
B-Tier DPS
| Unit | Ranking Reason |
|---|---|
 Cursed Immortal (Black Sun) | • Has an interesting alternative playstyle but the DPS numbers aren’t the best • Still quite playable even with the gimmick and lower DPS Best Trait: Unbound Equipment: Memory Pendant |
 Toy Maker | • A one-placement Summoner with okay damage and decent utility so she’s realistically a B-Tier • However, Toy Maker has some of the best scaling with Unbound in the game since she’s already one-placement and if you can get it on her she surges to the A-Tier DPS Best Trait: Unbound |
 Flame Emperor (Reincarnate) | • An overall decent DoT DPS beginner unit with a little support potential • It’s just that the DPS levels are a bit lower for A-Tier and he’s expensive • He becomes much better with Hollow and vice versa Best Trait: Draconic Equipment: Emperor’s Attire (Rose Kingdom Mastery Hard) |
 Hollow (Blaze) | • A DoT unit that requires other fire-based units to be good • Is quite strong with Flame Emperor as a combo but solo he’s B-Tier Best Trait: Draconic Equipment: Hell’s Flower (Flower Forest Mastery Hard) |
C-Tier DPS
| Unit | Ranking Reason |
|---|---|
 True Saint (Holy) | • Your easy-to-get starter that’s quite useful early on • That said the DPS numbers fall off as you get to the late game Best Trait: Any (Don’t invest too much) |
S-Tier Support
| Unit | Ranking Reason |
|---|---|
 Salmon Sorcerer (Grade 1) | • Just a better version of Ice Mage with a massive slow for stalling enemies for your main DPS units • Incredible support potential Best Trait: Primordial Equipment: Technique Amplifier (School Grounds Mastery Hard) |
String Demon (Awakened) | • An underrated DPS/Support that has an amazing CC/Stall passive • Deals lower damage than S-Tiers and most A-Tiers but is overall one of the most useful Mythics Best Trait: Primordial Equipment: Webbed Fruit (Rose Kingdom Mastery Hard) |
Shadow (Divine) | • Amazing Meta Summoner DPS unit • Has incredible DPS and Support potential with the Domain that pushes enemies and buffs magic units • Overall second-best DPS unit in the game behind 8th Sword Best Trait: Unbound Equipment: Hexed Blade (Crafting) |
Puppet (Telekinetic) | • An amazing mix of massive DPS and support potential • The support comes from the damage amplification effect and you can mark two enemies with Optics • One of if not the best Mythic in the game since you can run him both as a DPS with Unbound or a support with Optics Best Trait: Unbound for DPS/Optics for Support Equipment: Calamity’s Eye (Fairy King Forest Mastery Hard) |
 Various (See >) | • These are beginner support units that can be quite useful even in the mid-to-late game • The Hero buffs physical units • Forbidden Teacher buffs magic and comboes well with Shadow • Ice Queen applies freeze which is excellent beginner support potential • Water Princess protects your units from debuffs • Ice Mage slows but Salmon Sorcerer is better once you get him Best Trait: Primordial (Don’t invest too much) |
