Discover which units dominate after the latest patch with our detailed breakdown of Anime Vanguards Update 5.5.
Update 5.5 turns Anime Vanguards on its head. Fresh Mythic and Legendary units inspired by Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, and Dandadan charge into the roster, pushing seasoned staples aside and raising power ceilings across the board. New passives, lower SPA values, and brutal damage spikes reward players who evolve correctly but punish wasted materials.
This tier list trims the fluff and ranks every fighter from meta juggernaut to budget placeholder, giving you a no-nonsense roadmap for your next summon and evolution grind.
Update 5.5 Anime Vanguards Tier List
SS Tier
This tier contains the strongest and most meta-relevant units. Most are evolved versions that require heavy grinding but offer huge returns through damage output, passives, and overall effectiveness.
| Unit Name | Key Traits |
|---|---|
| Divalo (Requiem) | Slows enemies, deals 4-digit base damage |
| Super Vogito (Fused) | Strong fusion unit with excellent wave clear |
| Gujo (Infinity) | Freeze passive, SPA reduction, major damage boost |
| Tuji (Sorcerer Killer) | New passive and damage buff |
| Legendary Super Brolzi | High damage Mythic, top-tier without evolution |
| Jag-o (Volcanic) | Evolved fire unit with strong AoE |
| Aizen (Kyoka Suigetsu) | Illusion-based crowd control |
| Tengon (Flashiness) | Flashy animations, rapid DPS |
| Igros (Elite Knight) | Buffed evolved form with tanky stats |
| Vogito Super (Awakened) | Huge power spike, excellent support synergy |
| Alocard (Vampire King) | Bleed and life-drain abilities |
| Ichigo (Bankai) | Balanced damage and speed |
| Sokora (Angra Mainyu) | Dark magic utility and AoE burst |
| Saber (King of Knights) | Sword-based DPS with passive boosts |
| Rom and Ran | Dual unit with synchronized attacks |
Evolve these units if you’re aiming to dominate in all game modes.
S Tier
These units are still strong but just slightly behind the top tier. Most are either strong base units or waiting to be evolved into their SS versions.
| Unit Name | Key Traits |
|---|---|
| Cha-In (Blade Dancer) | Still viable, strong passive despite demotion |
| Akazo (Destructive) | High burst damage, great in tight waves |
| Song Jinwu (Monarch) | Reliable carry, even post-nerf |
| Jag-o | Strong fire Mythic, evolves into SS-tier unit |
| Chaso (Blood Curse) | Evolution-ready, promising future potential |
| Rengoku (Purgatory) | Solid flame-based DPS |
| Okorun (Turbo) | Fast attacks, a newly added versatile fighter |
| Zion (Burdelyon) | Fresh unit delivers good AoE and damage output |
| Roku (Super Saiyan God) | Energy-based AoE, solid crowd control |
Use these units if you want high-performing characters without going all-in on grind yet.
A Tier
This tier offers strong value, especially for players who want dependable units without the long upgrade paths. Some are good base forms, while others work just fine without evolution.
| Unit Name | Comments |
|---|---|
| Agony | High damage, bleed passive |
| Igros | Effective even before evolution |
| Cha-In | The base version still holds decent value |
| Alocard | Good DPS with a lifesteal type effect |
| Sosuke (Storm) | Stun + high burst, better than Hebi version |
| Julias (Eisplosion) | RNG damage, freezes enemies every hit |
| Obita & Obita (Awakened) | Similar stats, decent utility |
| Sprint Wagon | Best Epic unit, cheap and effective |
| Takaroda | Balanced damage and support |
| Todu (Unleashed) | Improved damage and SPA over base |
| Mimi (Psychic) | Versatile new support |
| Zion | New Mythic, flexible role coverage |
| Pweeny (Boxer) | New Epic with a surprising burst |
| Inamuki | Consistent crowd control |
| Hercool (Ultra) | Heavy hitter, underrated DPS |
Stick to these units if you’re not ready for the grind but still want competitive performance.
B Tier
This tier includes average characters. Some units are decent in early or mid-game but get outclassed quickly. You can use them short term, but don’t overinvest.
| Unit Name | Notes |
|---|---|
| Akazo | Still usable in early stages |
| Alligator, Blossom | Good Epics, but easily outscaled |
| Chaso | Base version, only useful if evolving |
| Haruka Rin | Inferior to the evolved Dancer version |
| Julias | Lacks evolved form’s damage scaling |
| Noruto (Six Tales) | Weak Mythic, not worth resources |
| Sosuke (Hebi) | Poor damage, weak passives |
| Itochi, Kinaru | Rare but disappointing in combat |
| Nobaba | New Legendary lacks impact |
| Pweeny | Non-evolved form, loses value fast |
| Rengoku | Overhyped, damage doesn’t scale well |
| Okorun | The base form lacks firepower |
| Todu | Boogie ability is a niche |
| Saiko (Spirit Medium) | New unit, moderate utility |
These units are fillers until you roll something better or can evolve higher-tier characters.
C Tier
Despite featuring some iconic names, these units don’t contribute much to the current meta. Stats are low, upgrades are weak, and abilities are one-note.
| Unit Name | Comments |
|---|---|
| Nazuka (NEW) | Disappointing release, hoping for a future evolution |
| Inosake | Poor scaling, weak AoE |
| Kokashi | One-trick unit, limited build potential |
| Goi | Fails to scale in late game |
| Pickleo | Weak stats across all levels |
| Ichiga | Low performance, underdeveloped |
| Song Jinwu | The base version is shockingly weak |
| Tengon | Not viable without Flashiness form |
| Vogita | Lacks versatility and utility |
| Joe | Low damage, weak passive |
Use these only if you have no better options and want low deployment costs.
D Tier
These are the weakest characters in the game. Their low stats, poor scaling, and underwhelming abilities make them irrelevant for most game content. Avoid them if possible.
| Unit Name | Reason for Ranking |
|---|---|
| Luffo | Weak stats and no redeeming abilities |
| Sanjo | Can’t scale, lacks AoE or passive utility |
| Shinzi | Outdated and underpowered |
| Genas | Appears twice, still not worth using |
| Jon | Bad base stats and scaling |
| Noruto | Worse than the Six Tales version |
| Sosuke | Useless without evolution |
| Rukio | No standout features |
| Gaari | Inconsistent performance |
| Genitsu | Bad DPS and long cooldowns |
| Grim Wow | Cool design, terrible stats |
Keep them only for early-game filler use or fodder for events.
