Carry lane damage
Prioritize units that clear repeated waves without draining all upgrades into one tile.

Anime Squadron Tier List Method
A real tier page here is a testing method, not a fake stat dump. Rank decisions you can read in game: role coverage, trait value, gear route, and upgrade timing.
Quick answer
Build around one wave clear, one boss answer, one support or economy slot, and only chase tier claims after you can test the unit in current update content.
Role tiers to test first
Boss pressure
Keep a unit or evolved form that can focus durable targets when the lane slows down.
Support or economy
A support effect, cost discount, or resource benefit can beat raw damage if it accelerates your whole squad.
Gogeta path
If you own Goku and Vegeta, judge them by whether the fusion route improves your best stage, not by name value alone.
Avoid weak tier-list habits
Do not chase screenshots alone
A unit can look strong in one clip and still be poor for your wave route or upgrade budget.
Do not rank without traits
Trait rolls can change a unit's practical value, so compare role plus trait instead of name alone.
Do not ignore evolution cost
An evolved unit is only a good target if you can farm the materials without stalling your squad.
FAQ
Is there an official Anime Squadron unit tier list?
No full ranking is built into the game page, so this guide sticks to role reads you can test in your own runs.
What is the safest tier-list rule?
Rank units by current role coverage, trait impact, and evolution cost before trusting a name-only tier.
Should beginners chase shiny units first?
Beginners should secure stable wave clear before making shiny hunting the main resource goal.
How often can tiers change?
Tiers can change whenever a new update, trait balance, or banner shifts the value of a role.
What should I test after an update?
Run the same lane with the same upgrade budget, then compare clear speed, boss control, and leaks.
