Roblox Anime Vanguards Tier List (July 2025) BEST Units

Let me tell you something - I've been grinding Anime Vanguards since launch, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that having the right units can make or break your experience. Whether you're struggling with the latest raid or getting demolished in PvP, this tier list will be your secret weapon to dominating every game mode in 2025.
I remember when I first started playing, I was using Luffo thinking he was amazing because, well, he's Luffy! Spoiler alert: he's not. After countless failed attempts at harder content, I finally understood why tier lists exist. They're not just arbitrary rankings - they're the collective wisdom of thousands of players who've tested every unit in every situation.

What Makes a Unit Top-Tier in Anime Vanguards?
Damage Output Is King
When I evaluate units, the first thing I look at is raw damage potential. SS-tier units typically deal 5000+ DPS at max level, while D-tier units struggle to break 500. But it's not just about big numbers - it's about consistent damage output across different enemy types.
Special Abilities Change Everything
The difference between a good unit and a great unit often comes down to their unique abilities. Take Yehowach (Almighty) for example - his immunity to all status ailments makes him invaluable in content where enemies spam debuffs. Meanwhile, units like basic Noruto have abilities that barely make a dent.
Versatility Across Game Modes
The best units in 2025 aren't just good at one thing - they excel everywhere. Whether you're tackling Story mode, climbing Infinite leaderboards, or battling in the new PvP modes, top-tier units perform consistently across all content.
SS-Tier Units - The Meta Destroyers
Song Jinwu and Igros - The Shadow Monarch Supreme
If you only get one unit from this entire list, make it Song Jinwu and Igros. I'm not exaggerating when I say this unit completely trivializes most content. With his army of shadow summons and insane damage multipliers, he's been sitting at the top of every tier list since his release.
Key Stats:
- Base Damage: 8,500 at max level
- Special: Summons multiple shadow soldiers
- Range: Full map coverage with summons
- Cost: 1,500 (expensive but worth every gem)
Yehowach (Almighty) - The Unstoppable Force
Remember when I mentioned status immunity? Yehowach takes it to another level. This unit literally cannot be debuffed, slowed, or affected by any enemy abilities. In modes where enemies spam freeze or stun, he's your ace in the hole.
What makes him SS-tier:
- Complete debuff immunity
- Massive AoE damage
- Scales incredibly well into late game
- Pairs perfectly with any team composition
Divalo (Requiem) - The Rare Game Changer
Getting Divalo (Requiem) is like winning the lottery - literally. With a 0.1% pull rate, this unit is the definition of power creep. I've seen players solo entire raids with just this unit and proper support.
Why everyone wants him:
- Slows all enemies by 50%
- Deals 4-figure damage at BASE level
- Unique targeting prioritizes high-health enemies
- Makes impossible content suddenly manageable
Other SS-Tier Powerhouses
While the big three dominate, these units deserve recognition:
- Alocard (Vampire King): Best debuffer in the game, essential for Infinite mode
- Super Vogito (Fused): Water-type advantage with game-breaking fusion mechanics
- Rogita (Super 4): Incredible burst damage with transformation ability
- Isdead (Romantic): Don't let the name fool you - top-tier support capabilities
S-Tier Units - The Elite Squad
Best DPS Units in S-Tier
These units might not break the game like SS-tiers, but they're still incredibly powerful:
Legendary Super Brolzi stands out as the only non-evolved unit in high tiers. His raw stats rival evolved mythics, making him a must-have for any serious player.
Tuji (Sorcerer Killer) received massive buffs in update 5.5. His evolved form gains damage boosts and a brand new passive that makes him a mage-killer supreme.
Best Support Units
Support isn't just about healing in Anime Vanguards:
- Rom and Ran (Fanatic): Provides team-wide buffs
- Haruka Rin (Dancer): Speed boost for all allies
- Saber (King of Knights): Defensive buffs that stack
Best Hybrid Units
These units excel at multiple roles:
- Ichigo (Bankai): DPS + crowd control
- Gujo (Infinity): Damage + freeze effects
- Aizen (Kyoka Suigetsu): Illusions + massive AoE
A-Tier Units - Reliable Warriors Worth Your Investment
A-tier units form the backbone of most players' teams. They're easier to obtain than S or SS tiers but still pack a punch:
- Cha-In (Blade Dancer): Former meta unit, still incredibly strong
- Hercool (Ultra): Great for new players, solid all-rounder
- Agony: Inflicts bleed, perfect for boss battles
- Obita (Awakened): Looks cool, performs decently
- Sprint Wagon: Only Epic unit worth using - insane ROI
- Julias (Eisplosion): Freeze passive helps in crowd control
- Zion (Burdelyon): New addition with promising potential
B-Tier Units - The Budget Brigade
When B-Tier Units Shine
Unit Name | Best Use Case | Why Use Them |
---|---|---|
Akazo | Early story mode | Low deployment cost |
Alligator | Gold farming | Economic passive |
Bean | Tank role | High HP, low damage |
Blossom | Support | Healing abilities |
Nobaba | Collection | Looks cool, that's it |
B-tier units aren't bad - they're just outclassed. I still use some for specific challenges where deployment cost matters more than raw power.
C & D-Tier Units - The Benchwarners
Units to Avoid (Unless You're a Fan)
Look, I get it. Seeing your favorite anime character in D-tier hurts. But here's the truth:
C-Tier Problems:
- Nazuka: Demon Slayer fans rejoice... then cry at the stats
- Inosake: One-dimensional gameplay
- Kokashi: Copy ninja? More like copy disappointment
- Song Jinwu (base): Terrible until evolved
D-Tier Disasters:
- Luffo: Starter unit that should stay in storage
- Noruto: Even his evolved forms struggle
- Rukio: Soul Reaper? More like soul keeper (on the bench)
How to Get the Best Units in 2025
Banner System Explained
The gacha system in Anime Vanguards can be brutal, but understanding it helps:
- Gem Banners: 50 gems per pull, featured units have rate-ups
- Limited Banners: Time-sensitive, usually contain meta units
- Standard Pool: Always available, lower rates for specific units
I recommend saving at least 5,000 gems before pulling on limited banners. The pity system kicks in at 100 pulls, guaranteeing a featured unit.
Evolution Requirements That'll Make You Cry
Getting a unit is just the beginning. Evolution requirements include:
- Evolution items: Specific to each character
- Gold costs: Usually 50,000-100,000 gold
- Level requirements: Unit must be max level
- Material grinding: Some need raid-exclusive materials
Special Quest Units Worth the Grind
Some units can't be pulled - you earn them:
- Song Jinwu and Igros: Complete the Shadow Monarch questline
- Choy Jong En: Unlock through dungeon challenges
- Friran (Teacher): Reach Worldlines Floor 50
Building Your Dream Team
PvP Team Compositions
For the new PvP modes, I've found these combinations devastating:
Meta Team:
- Song Jinwu & Igros (main DPS)
- Yehowach (status immunity)
- Alocard (debuffs)
- Rom and Ran (buffs)
- Flexible slot (counter-pick)
Raid and Boss Teams
Raids require different strategies:
Optimal Raid Setup:
- Single-target DPS (Divalo or Song Jinwu)
- AoE clearer (Super Vogito)
- Debuffer (Alocard)
- Buffer (Haruka Rin)
- Flex support
F2P Friendly Teams That Actually Work
Not everyone has SS-tier units. Here's what I recommend for free-to-play players:
- Focus on A-tier units from regular banners
- Prioritize evolving one strong unit over multiple weak ones
- Complete all quest units - they're free and powerful
- Use B-tier units with good synergies rather than random S-tiers
Your Anime Vanguards Questions Answered
Which units should I prioritize as a new player?
Start with A-tier units like Cha-In or Hercool. They're easier to obtain than SS-tiers but still strong enough to clear most content. Save your gems for limited banners featuring top-tier units.
How often does the tier list change?
Major updates every 4-6 weeks can shift the meta significantly. I update my rankings after each patch, especially when new units drop or balance changes occur.
Are evolved units always better than base forms?
99% of the time, yes. The only exception might be deployment cost restrictions in certain challenges. Evolution typically doubles or triples a unit's effectiveness.
What's the best way to get Mythic units?
Limited banners have the highest rates for Mythic units. Also, check the official Anime Vanguards game page for event announcements - they sometimes offer guaranteed Mythic tickets.
Can B-tier units beat SS-tier content?
With perfect gear, traits, and team composition? Maybe. But it'll take 10x more investment than just using appropriate tier units. Work smarter, not harder.
Should I reroll my account for better units?
If you're within your first week and haven't pulled any S-tier or above units, rerolling might be worth it. The time investment pays off when you start with a strong foundation.
Remember, tier lists are guidelines, not gospel. The best unit is the one that helps you enjoy the game. That said, if you want to compete at high levels or tackle endgame content in 2025, following this tier list will save you countless hours of frustration.
