Anime Squadron Tier List & Best Units for Update 2.5

Destructoid's July 13 Update 1.5 tier list places Akoza (Demon) in S-tier DPS and describes boss-focused stacking, poison pressure, durability, and self-revive value.

Strong: The official Roblox title confirms Update 1.5, but exact kit values and the best trait remain guide-reported. Test Cloner versus Superior before committing rare resources.

Destructoid's current Update 1.5 ranking places Rangaku (Demon) in S-tier DPS and reports an area burst style built around exploding damage-over-time effects.

Strong: Treat exact damage, explosion timing, and Rangakus Nichirin requirements as reported until repeated in-game evidence is available.

Destructoid's June 22 Update 0.5 tier list and PGG's Release Version 0.5 notes place Berserker (Enraged) in the top DPS group, with Bleed pressure and strong Eclipse/Berserk-update relevance.

Build around: Treat exact bleed values, obtain route, and upgrade cost as unconfirmed until in-game data or developer-owned notes are collected.

PGG still keeps Puppeteer (Transcendent) in the Update 0.75 meta group, while Destructoid describes it as a powerful Gometa-style carry that remains valuable for hard content.

Build around: Use as a top-tier build target, but verify obtain path, upgrade cost, and exact scaling in-game before spending rare resources.

PGG and Destructoid both keep Gometa (SSJ4) in the top Update 0.75 carry group. Destructoid describes self-stacking damage value and tankiness, making him one of the safest long-term DPS anchors.

Build around: Treat exact scaling as reported until official or in-game stat tables confirm the final numbers.

Reported high damage and long-fight scaling make him a core late-game damage option.

Build around: Current guide coverage describes Woo as a Banner Secret with a high pity target, so plan pulls before burning Gems.

Reported burn pressure and boss-killing value put him in the top damage group, with public guide coverage pointing to Ninja Village Squadron Act 4 as the route to watch.

Build around: Confirm burn behavior, meteor damage, and cooldown before publishing exact math.

Destructoid places Tanjaro (Sun Breathing) in A-tier DPS and reports low-health execute pressure plus synergy with Nazaka support.

Strong: Tanjaro's value depends on the reported Nazaka pairing and current enemy thresholds; test the duo before replacing a proven carry.

Destructoid's Update 1.5 support table describes Nazaka (Berserk) as a current heal-and-cleanse support with accuracy debuffs, dodge support, and low-health recovery value.

Strong: Support impact and exact thresholds are not official patch-note facts. Build only when the squad already has damage worth protecting.

Destructoid describes Shanron (Omega) as a versatile DPS/tank/support option from GT City Raid Act 4, but also flags the high cost and late-game grind.

Strong: Do not rush him over Berserker, Gometa, or easier top-DPS routes unless you can already support the expensive grind.

Destructoid's Update 0.5 coverage highlights Skeleton Knight (Resonance) as a hybrid DPS/tank and a key partner for Berserker-style damage reduction setups.

Strong: Rank it by team role, not raw DPS. It should be tested beside Berserker before rare rerolls are spent.

Destructoid lists Falcon (Dark) as a flexible DPS, support, and farming unit with debuff resistance and Yen value, making it relevant beyond pure damage ranking.

Strong: Use it as a utility-heavy slot until exact Yen, execute, and debuff values are verified.

Destructoid marks Caska (Resilience) as a valuable support piece for Berserker and Falcon setups, with damage amplification relevance in Update 0.5 teams.

Strong: Support value depends on whether your team already has the carry it is meant to amplify.

Pro Game Guides' current tier-list page describes Garu (Half Monster) as a new Version 0.75 water-based boss killer and places it in the top S-tier movement, while YouTube searches show Garou/Garu challenge farming questions.

Strong: Treat exact scaling, stage route, and best trait as pending until current in-game data or a detailed farming guide confirms the values.

Pro Game Guides' current tier-list page groups Baras/Baras Meteoric Burst with the new Version 0.75 water boss-killer movement, while YouTube searches show Boros/Borus/Baras event farming questions.

Strong: Keep route wording flexible because public sources use Baras, Baras Meteoric Burst, Boros, and Borus-style phrasing; exact stage mechanics still need stronger source proof.

Reported as a strong general DPS that performs below SS units but remains broadly useful.

Strong: Needs side-by-side testing against Gometa, Woo, and Madora after balance changes.

Useful progression unit and reported as part of the route toward Gometa.

Strong: Do not rank only by final evolution value; early-stage value should stay visible.

Reported strong damage and important progression value toward top-tier builds.

Strong: Confirm whether investment remains valuable after players obtain Gometa.

Destructoid's Update 0.5 notes place Shinks among the best support units and call out Cloner as the trait to watch for Shinks in serious team shells.

Strong: Support ranking depends heavily on team composition and mode pressure.

Dedicated money unit; speeds deployment and enables expensive teams earlier.

Strong: Economy value changes if a mode does not reward long deployment windows.

Reported speed and farming value make him useful for weaker stages, resource runs, and early progression.

Useful: May fall behind top-tier damage in harder content.

Reported tank value and damage redirection make him relevant when content hits harder.

Useful: Tank value is mode-specific and should not replace damage when damage is the actual wall.

Reported cooldown reduction can improve specific high-end team setups.

Useful: Niche support value needs team context before recommending investment.

PGG's July 5 Update 1.0 tier list places Beby (Super) in A tier and describes a support damage boost for nearby units.

Useful: Treat it as a support slot, not a replacement for your main carry, until in-game team tests confirm the best placement.

PGG's Update 1.0 page places Gometa (Blue) in A tier as a fast flying unit, but says Woo and the older top carries remain safer for most players.

Useful: Do not spend rare items only because it is new; test whether your map needs flying speed before replacing Gometa (SSJ4), Berserker, or Woo.

PGG's Update 1.0 page places Vargil in A tier and describes support damage value that can help the whole squad during boss fights.

Useful: Use it beside a proven DPS first; do not treat it as a standalone carry until more current gameplay checks agree.

PGG lists Dente in A tier for burn-team potential, while a same-day YouTube result uses Dante and Vergil wording for Anime Squadron pulls.

Useful: Keep both spellings in mind when checking videos. PGG says Baras can outshine this burn role, so avoid heavy investment until it proves value in your team.

Useful early as a hybrid role, but weaker than specialist units later.

Temporary: Avoid rare traits unless he is solving the current wall.

PGG's Update 1.0 tier list places Android (Super) in B tier as a crowd-control support option.

Temporary: Useful as a filler role, but current reporting does not make it a safer endgame investment than the S and A support options.

Healing support can help newer players stabilize early content.

Temporary: Healing impact may drop in harder modes where damage and scaling matter more.

PGG's Update 1.0 tier list places Freezer (Golden) in C tier and says the playstyle is awkward beside stronger DPS units.

Temporary: Try only if you like the unit or need a temporary crowd-control slot; do not spend premium rerolls here.

Can fill early damage needs but is expected to be replaced quickly.

Temporary: Do not spend rare resources here.

Reported as usable during early progression but not an endgame investment.

Temporary: Upgrade only when needed for immediate clears.

Useful only as a starting slot while stronger units are missing.

Temporary: Replace when any stronger role specialist appears.

Reported limited usefulness beyond the earliest stages.

Avoid investing: Avoid rare upgrades or rerolls.

Reported as quickly outclassed and not worth long-term investment.

Avoid investing: Treat as temporary until any better unit is available.
