Unit tier list: what exists and why we are not copying it
A community-made unit tier list appears in ItzVexo's September 13 guide. It has six rows, in this order: Meta DPS, Sub-Meta DPS, Meta Infinite Tower DPS, Meta CC, Meta Support and Not Viable, and a note that all rows are ordered. At 720p the unit names on it cannot be read, and guessing names from character art would put units in the wrong row. We will add it once a readable copy is available.
The structure itself is useful: DPS units carry waves, a separate set is best for the Infinite Tower, and crowd control and support units have their own rows, so a team is not just the six highest-damage units. Unit stats and rarities are on the units page.
Tier list FAQ
Where is Ichigo on the Defeat Anime RNG tier list?
The community unit tier list shown in ItzVexo’s guide sorts units into Meta DPS, Sub-Meta DPS, Meta Infinite Tower DPS, Meta CC, Meta Support and Not Viable, but its name labels are too small to read in the video, so we cannot say which row a given unit sits in. The game also uses its own names for units (Gobu, Veteka, Tobeni), so look for the in-game name.
What is the best unit?
Look at the DPS number over each unit in your base. It already reflects the unit’s trait, which is why ItzVexo’s example shows one unit at 6.2K DPS and another at 1.3K. A unit with high base damage is the one to spend Trait Shards on.
How is this tier list made?
Traits are ranked by what the Traits panel says they do and how rare they are, mutations by the order the developer gave in Discord, and weapons by the attack number on the Blacksmith panel. None of it is opinion scoring, so it only changes when the game changes.
