I remember the moment my last summon flashed trash green while the boss timer counted down. I closed the app, breathed, then re-opened—because one pull can still change a run. You and I both know the difference between a lucky roll and a bad roster.
I’ve played hundreds of hours and tracked the shifts in the meta across Discord threads and YouTube guides. Below I give you a tight, argued tier list so you can stop guessing and start planning. This list is a compass for your summons—follow it, not superstition.

I watch team comps the way coaches watch film. Anime Origins Tier List for Best Units Breakdown
Below I break down why each unit sits where it does. I’ll point out which picks earn matchup wins, which support units actually change runs, and where you should save gems for later banners.
What is the best Legendary unit in Anime Origins?
Itsoda takes this spot for players who want dependable Hill coverage and air interception. He won’t flex into every meta, but if you need a Legendary that reliably shores up gaps in placement, Itsoda is your best bet.
Which unit is best for Infinite Mode in Anime Origins?
Bluma (Data Analyst) scales like no other for long runs—her Training Data eventually boosts Income by 30%, which is priceless in infinite waves. If you’re farming Endless runs for gems or resources, she’s the economy engine you want on stage.
Which Anime Origins unit is best for boss fights?
Goki (Super 3) is the boss specialist: stacks of Fighting Spirit drive up Damage and Crit Chance until he can solo high-health targets. Pair him with support that protects his stacking time and he will carry boss rounds.
SS Tier
Real-world observation: pro players keep a tiny roster of go-to carries for ranked sessions.
- Madaro (Edo Tensei): The meta’s heavy hitter—massive AoE, a 500% “Damage Heaven Splitter” swing, extra strikes on out-of-range targets, and built-in crowd-control resistance. If a map needs raw, repeatable damage, Madaro fills it.
- Cursed Lover (Pure Love): Can copy up to four Active Abilities and store them. Flexibility plus a 300% Love Beam makes this unit devastatingly adaptable in mixed comps.
- Valcrad (Unleashed): Crit scaling, bonus damage vs bleeding, summons, and a Coffin Trap that can stun bosses for seven seconds—rare control plus damage in one kit.
S+ Tier
Real-world observation: specialists are the players you bench until the perfect moment.
- Bon (Purgatory): The economy-support hybrid; his meals buff Damage, Cooldown, Range, and add money on kills. Think of him as a permanent café that buffs your squad.
- Starku (Primordial): Mythic nuke with high burst—excellent when you need big single-instance damage.
- Igritto (Commander Starku): Reliable sustained DPS via steady Oppressing buffs; he rarely flops in consistent output.
- Goju (Honored One): Defensive controller—nullifies attacks, slows enemies, and Time Stop shreds dangerous waves.
- Tango (Star of Festivals): Solid Ground unit with steady performance; you won’t build around him, but he fits into many ground-heavy comps.
S Tier
Real-world observation: S-tier units are the trusted bench players that win scrappy matches.
- Noroto (Linked): Gains Damage, Cooldown, and Range in Nine Tails’ Cloak; every third hit adds AoE—strong on longer maps.
- Tojei (Sorcerer Killer): Neutral typing and boss damage make him a reliable counter, but his buff immunity limits ceiling.
- Vegita (Super): Hill specialist with great multi-placement; synergizes with Goku but needs that pairing to shine fully.
- Aneko (Queen): Full AoE that scales as enemies lose health—excellent for wave-clear.
- Shinaru (Butterfly Dance): Useful support; her utility is solid but narrower than Bon or Goju.
- Yoto (Calamity): Durable, steady-damage unit that performs well across longer stages.
A Tier
Real-world observation: A-tier picks are reliable choices for players who can’t chase every banner.
- Itsugo (Dangai): Gains Damage as enemies advance—excellent on maps with long paths.
- Zeldo (Piety): Simple, strong DPS that pairs nicely with Meliodas for extra punch.
- Konpatchi (Unleashed): Cleans up weakened targets and helps finish waves quickly.
- Gyutari (Upper Moon): Full AoE, Poison, and Blood Cut for explosive group control.
- Goki (Super 3): Builds stacks for massive boss damage—bring him when you expect long, single-target fights.
- Bluma (Data Analyst): One of the best farming units for Infinite Mode due to long-term income scaling.
B Tier
Real-world observation: B-tier units are staples during progression but get phased out in late-game lineups.
- Melio (Assault): Versatile effects like Petrify and Burn, but he cycles between buffs—unreliable when you need a single effect continuously.
- Oxi (Mage): Serviceable support when better options are absent.
- Mykie (Toman): Leader Damage buff up to 10%, but slow to build and placement-dependent.
- Itsoda: Strong Hill coverage for Legends; a good pick for map control early to mid game.
- Leorio: Economic specialist who refunds upgrade costs—valuable for farming but weak in pure DPS slots.
C Tier
Real-world observation: you use C-tier units until you pull replacements.
- Sosuke (Eternal): Ground unit that functions while you farm for better options; replace him when you can.
D Tier
Real-world observation: most low-rarity pulls belong here.
All other low-rarity units occupy D Tier. If your pool is mostly D and C, focus on saving gems and farming events highlighted on the official Roblox group and community Discord channels.
The meta is a living beast—balance wins, not hero worship. Use the SS and S+ carries to form a core, layer in S and A for niche coverage, and treat B–D as situational or economy roles. I track patches on Reddit, YouTube creators, and tierlist.gg to update this list regularly.
