Cosmic Warrior

Thunder Prodigy
The best Characters/Weapons in Anime Zero depend on both DPS and synergy buffs. The two LYTHs are easily Meta and Cursed King is the best non-LYTH moveset for pure damage. You can easily get any S-Tier and A-Tier currently since there’s a ton of codes that give a massive amount of rerolls making lower rarities obsolete (Codes list linked at the end). Below you’ll find a list of Evolution requirements for each Character. Also, be sure to combine this tier list with the trait & accessory tier list below.
Synergies
- New Trial LYTHs seem to not have Synergy besides Base
- Any/Base Pair Synergy: +5% DMG
- Cursed King + Immortal Sovereign: +10% DMG
- Rubber Man + Divine Emperor: +15% Max HP
- Cosmic Warrior + Thunder Prodigy: -10% Cooldowns
- Kings Gambit + Twisted Agony: +20% Ultimate Charge Rate
- Dragon Eclipse + Lights of Divinity: +5% & +8 Max HP
- Cataclysm + Lights of Divinity: +8% Speed & -5% Cooldowns
Best Build
- Character: Void Arbiter or any SSS-Tier + Astral Blossom (DMG Buff Aura)
- Trait: Deadeye
- Accessory: Blast Archer Wings & Blast Archer Crown
- Title: The highest raw damage boost you can find since it stacks well with VA base damage and AB aura buff
