I ranked all Anime Squadron units according to four of the main roles in the game which are DPS, Support, Tank and Farm. In addition to the rankings I’ll also go into some tips and a farming guide for everything. Here’s my Anime Squadron unit tier list and guide.

The individual unit ranking reasons are below as well as how to get the special units. Before we dive into the individual rankings, here’s a breakdown of the ranking tiers for the best units in Anime Squadron:

  • S-Tier DPS: The Meta tier for units with the best damage.
  • A-Tier DPS: Sub-Meta DPS units that scale into the end-game.
  • B-Tier DPS: Decent DPS units for the mid-game.
  • C-Tier DPS: Beginner DPS units.
  • Support: The best debuffers or buffers.
  • Tank: The best defensive units that tank for your team.
  • Farm: Upgrade generation.

Best Gear: Omega Gear Set > Mythic Pieces

Best Traits:

  • DPS/Support (Cloner/Superior)
  • Farm (Entrepreneur/Wealthy)
  • Tank (Rebirth)

Best Teams:

  • Farming Madora (NVSA4): 2DPS + Shinks + Fastwagon (or Vegata with Cloner)
  • Farming Shanron (GTCRA4): Vegata (Cloner T) solos or use Madara method
  • Mid-to-Late All Game Modes: Gometa (Superior T), Karashi (Rebirth T), Vegata (Cloner T) and Fastwagon (Any Farm Trait) – Try to max out Fastwagon first

S-Tier DPS

UnitRanking Reason
Gometa (SSJ4)
EVO Goki to Full Power
Then complete questline
For Primal Core materials for Gogeta EVO
• The strongest DPS unit in the game due to massive self-stacking buffs
• Gometa can also tank really well in the end game with his massive defense, HP regen and dodge
• Definitely worth rushing ASAP
Woo (Shadow)
Banner Secret
20k Summons Pity
• Top 2 Meta DPS
Madora (Gunbai)
Ninja Village Squadron Act 4
• Top 3 Meta DPS
Shanron (Omega)
GT City Raid Act 4
• One of the most versatile units in the game
• Shenron is a great end-game DPS, tank and also support
• That said, he’s incredibly expensive to grind and EVO
• Don’t rush him over the above three units and save him for later

A-Tier DPS

UnitRanking Reason
Goki (SSJ4 Full Power)• Goki is a good sub-Meta DPS but you want him either way for Gogeta
Vegata (SSJ4 Full Power)• Vegata’s Full Power EVO is quite a decent DPS unit
• That said you mainly want his EVO since its required for the Gogeta quest
Karashi (Sharingan)• Karashi has lower DPS than the units above but is incredibly good for farming resources on various modes (see farming guide below)
• Plus he’s a really good filler unit for end-game teams

B-Tier DPS

UnitRanking Reason
Rizzuto (Sage)• Rizzuto is an okay sub-meta DPS that’s good to have in the mid-game
• That said I would invest in Goki and Vegata since they both scale well in the late-game due to strong EVOs
Big Beard• Much weaker than Naruto DPS-wise but better damage than the C-Tier
• On the other hand, he’s a really great tank to have in any stage besides end-game
• Shield Hero tanks better but Big Beard has higher DPS

C-Tier DPS

This tier is mostly for beginner DPS units that are great in the early game and decent in the mid-game as fillers. You can’t really go wrong with any of them as a beginner but Choi and Tranks tend to have really good early DPS. Note that these are all worse than the higher-tier DPS units.

Best Support/Tank Units

UnitRanking Reason
Shield Hero
BattlePass
• The best tank in the game at all stages except end-game where you want to replace him with Gogeta
Shinks• One of the best Supports in the game
Big Beard• Much weaker than Naruto DPS-wise but better damage than the C-Tier
• On the other hand, he’s a really great tank to have in any stage besides end-game
• Shield Hero tanks better but Big Beard has higher DPS
Gometa (SSJ4)
EVO Goki to Full Power
Then complete questline
For Primal Core materials for Gogeta EVO
• The strongest DPS unit in the game due to massive self-stacking buffs
• Gometa can also tank really well in the end game with his massive defense, HP regen and dodge
• Definitely worth rushing ASAP
Shanron (Omega)
GT City Raid Act 4
• One of the most versatile units in the game
• Shenron is a great end-game DPS, tank and also support
• That said, he’s incredibly expensive to grind and EVO
• Don’t rush him over the above three units and save him for later
Rudaus• Excellent early game support
Mamosa• Excellent early game support
