Anime Vanguards Units Tier List [UPDATE 1]

With dozens of different units and evolutions in Anime Vanguards, it can be tricky to determine which units you should be going for. A good rule of thumb is the higher the rarity/quality, the better the unit. However, there are exceptions to this rule. Some Epicꦛ quality units are incredibly strong, while some Legendary units are a bit on the weak🍸er side.

No matter the rarity, you’ll need resources to unlock the best units. To speed up the process, redeem Anime Vanguards codes to get enough Gems for summons. We also covered all new units from Anime Vanguards update 1.

How to Get the Best Units in Anime Vanguards

You’ll get the best units via summons, raids, tournaments, and battle passes. For most Mythic and Secret quality units in Anime Vanguards, their base unit is extremely powerful and worth gettin🔯g. However, if you can upgrade and evolve th🦩em into their final form, they become even more powerful, in most cases moving them into the S and S+ Tiers.

Should I Use Rare and Epic Units?

If you’ve just started playing Anime Vanguards, look to get Legendary units via Summons as soon as possible. Having said that, some Rare and Epic units can be very useful, especially for support units such as Sprintwagon and Alligator. Because of that, avoid the auto-sell option for Epic rarity un♛its.

In the later stages, you should target Mythic and Secret units such as Alucard (Vampire King) and Igros (Elite Knight). You’ll want to do this as soon as you unlock the ability to do so, as they are the strongest units on this tier list for a reason and can make all aspects of the game, Story, Challenge, and Raids much easier.
