Anime Final Strike Tier Lists
Role-aware rankings so you never bench your money unit for raw DPS.
Tier lists in Anime Final Strike only help when they explain roles. A pure DPS chart may crown Baldy or King of Curses while quietly underrating Yuneko, the unit that funds every placement in Infinite. This hub indexes our ranked pages and teaches how to read them.
Pages in this hub
- Best units — Update 5 SS through D with mode notes
- Traits — Emperor through filler ranks
- Starter units — early Story and first Infinite clears
Cross-link to Units Hub, secret units, farm support, and team builder when you translate ranks into loadouts.
How we rank
We weigh Story clear speed, Infinite wave consistency, Raid burst, evolution potential, and trait synergy. A unit that jumps two tiers after evolution is ranked primarily in evolved form with a note on the base version. Patch notes on latest updates can reshuffle SS overnight — bookmark and revisit after each content drop.
Using ranks without tilting
Own a B-tier Mythic with Wealth and SS stats? It can beat an unbuilt SS name. Invest using evolve and reroll traits before deleting functional towers. Redeem codes to fund those upgrades.
Role primer
- DPS — Baldy, King of Curses, Leona Incarnate, Falcon, Shanks Conqueror, Toeji variants, Vesh lines
- Farm — Yuneko, Namu
- Control / support — Ice Admiral and amp units
- Flex / air — hybrids called out on the best-units page
Read the hub children in order: starters if new, best units if optimizing, traits when rerolling. That path matches real account growth better than memorizing letter grades alone.
Reading conflicting tier lists online
Different creators weight DPS frames, Infinite value, or raid burst differently. When lists disagree, check the date, the mode assumed, and whether evolved forms are included. Our hub prefers role-aware reading: always ask what slot a unit fills. A creator underrating Yuneko is often optimizing highlight DPS, not gems per hour. Likewise, a meme unit can spike after an unexpected buff — verify with your own clears. Use lists to shortlist, then prove value in private server tests before mass rerolls.
