Tier list methodology
A launch-week Anime Squadron tier list should not only sort units into S, A, and B. It should explain why a unit is strong: does it clear lanes, beat bosses, support the squad, farm resources, or carry beginners before they have rare traits?
| Role | What it means | Ranking note |
|---|---|---|
| Early carry | Reliable damage before your account has trait-perfect units. | High early value, low reroll commitment. |
| Wave clear | Covers lanes and removes grouped enemies before bosses appear. | Prioritize attack speed, range, or area coverage. |
| Boss damage | Focuses single targets and late-wave enemies. | Worth stronger traits if the unit stays useful later. |
| Support | Helps the squad through buffs, control, economy, or survival. | Judge by team value, not damage alone. |
| Farm option | Supports Gems, Gold, or upgrade routing when farming modes. | Useful only when the mode rewards the setup time. |
How to read early tiers
Early tiers should be treated as direction, not permanent law. Roblox anime games can change quickly when new codes, balance patches, banners, or units arrive. A unit that is S-tier for boss damage may be weaker for farming. A unit that is only A-tier overall can still be your best reroll target if it fills the role your squad lacks.
Trait fit matters
- Damage traits: Best for boss DPS and units that stay on the field long enough to scale.
- Speed traits: Useful when lane pressure or cooldown timing is the main failure point.
- Range traits: Strong when a unit can cover more lane space or hit safer targets.
- Economy traits: Good only if the mode gives enough time for the value to matter.
- Special traits: Evaluate by unit role; a rare trait can still be wrong on the wrong unit.
Reroll priority rule
Do not reroll every high-rarity unit immediately. First ask whether the unit is still deployed in your real squad, whether it handles a hard wave or boss problem, and whether the trait you want changes the outcome. If the answer is no, save Trait Shards and Cubes for a better target.
