Anime Crusaders Tier List

This hub is the Update 6 style board for Anime Crusaders. It ranks units by what they do on a real map: Hybrid coverage, Ground DPS, Hill DPS, and Support. If you only want names to summon, start here. If you want the reasoning, open best DPS, best support, beginner units, and best teams.

Ranks assume you will evolve the unit and land an acceptable trait. A base Rare with Crusader does not beat a neglected Secret.

Meta Hybrid

These units hit more than one targeting class or justify a premium tile.

• Beyond Heaven (DIO line)
• Sun God vs Dragon (Luffy / Kaido collision unit)
• Vegeto
• Ayzen (Perfect)
• Coyote (Number One) (Starrk)
• Phoenix (Rebirth) (Marco)
• Gilgamesh (The Golden King)
• Twenty One (Android 21)

Meta Ground

• Ichi (Masked Vizard)
• Sin (Seven Seas)
• Vejita (Ultimate Majin)
• Rookie (Rising Adventurer)
• Esdead
• Powaa (Blood Queen)
• Maki (Authority)
• Yorinchi (Flash)
• Sun Woo (System) still anchors many Ground cores when you own the shadows kit

Meta Hill

• Cell (ULTRA PERFECT)
• Freeran (Timeless Mage)
• Goko (Perfected Ultimate)
• Soi Fun (Death Sting)
• Ishtall
• Golden Spirit (Divine)

Meta Support

• Zero (True Emperor)
• Mr. Champion
• Useless Goddess
• Ai (Idol)
• Hesia (Sacred Flame)
• Kurimi (Time Queen)
• Speedcart-style farm units (still the Infinite wage)
• Grey (Ice Mage), Seraph (Fallen), Rio when you need a cheap aura

How to use this list

Summon the role you lack, not the name a thumbnail shouted. A board with three Hybrid DPS and no farm unit loses Infinite. A board with two farm units and no Hill loses to flyers. Build with team slots and placement.

Older S-tier names you still see in winter articles — Igrith, Brulo (Rage), Shadow (Atomic), Getu — can remain strong on the right map. They are no longer the only answer. Check changelog after a numbered update before you dump pity into a retired featured.

Beginners should ignore half of this hub and open beginner units. Secrets that drop from raids and portals are chase pieces, not week-one homework.

Pair every rank with a plan to farm Gems. A tier list you cannot afford is a poster.

How ranks move

A unit drops when a new collab does the same job cheaper or when a map pool punishes its tile class. A unit rises when an evo adds air or when a raid asks for its element. We will not freeze this hub between patches. Check the date stamp on the article and the changelog.

If your favorite unit is missing, it may still be fine in a niche. Missing means “do not spend pity,” not “delete the card.”
