Community snapshot • Update 6

Anime Crusaders tier list

A broad all-unit ranking, followed by the role and mode context that a single S-to-D screenshot usually leaves out.

Compare equal investment

Ranks assume evolved units with reasonable stats and traits. A neglected S unit can lose to a well-built A unit.

Rank inside a role

A farm, buffer, hybrid carry, and boss specialist solve different problems; raw damage is not the only axis.

Check mode rules

Tournament and traitless formats can overturn a general ranking. Read the active modifiers before committing resources.

Early-game or niche

Starter-level picks that are generally the first to leave a developing roster.

Shortlist by job

A lower overall unit can still be the correct pick if it covers the role your roster lacks.

RoleCommunity picksWhy the role matters
Hybrid carryKing, Brulo, Beyond Heaven, DenshiMixed ground/flying coverage and late-stage damage.
Global supportAITeam-wide value is often worth more than another unbuffed DPS slot.
EconomySpeedcartFunds costly carries in stages long enough to repay the slot.
Boss / raidGetu, Maki, RoseSummons, true damage, or long-fight scaling can matter more than a broad rank.

Investment order

Before you reroll an S-tier unit

  1. 1. Confirm it fills a missing role in your current team.
  2. 2. Check whether the evolved form changes targeting or damage type.
  3. 3. Fix basic stat grades before chasing a 0.1% trait.
  4. 4. Keep a usable budget trait until you have a real reroll reserve.
  5. 5. Test the unit in the mode you actually farm.

Update context

Why “Update 6” needs a date

A current role-based source labels its board Update 6 and last updated it August 26, 2026. Another community source dates the Update 6 release to May 2, 2026. We show both context and our own review date instead of presenting “updated today” automatically.
