I stared at the hill where my Hybrid should have been and watched a Soaring boss sail past untouched. You feel the cold wash of loss — all that farming suddenly meaningless. I wrote the list that follows so you don’t have to learn this the hard way.
My scoreboard flashed “defeat” — Anime Adventures Tier List – Best Units [UPD 21]
I test every unit in real matches, theorycraft on Discord channels, and cross-check drops on Roblox pages so you don’t waste summons. Below is a condensed, playable tier list: three tiers, split into Hybrid/Hill, Ground, and Support. The embedded table that follows lists every unit ranked and keeps the images from Moyens I/O for quick recognition.

The new Soaring rules hit the patch notes — What changed and why it matters
Observation: I read the patch at 3 a.m. while raiding a Discord channel and the headline stopped me cold. Soaring units now force different placement math: any unit can hit fliers but ground units do 50% less damage and cannot apply CC; Soaring enemies can only be hit by Hill or Hybrid units that are actually placed on a Hill.
Translation for you: if your Hybrid is on flat ground, it can’t touch Soaring enemies. If you keep running the same setups from last season, you will watch raids fail like a lighthouse in fog. This update rewrites which units are safe to invest in and which to bench.
Which Anime Adventures units are best for Soaring enemies?
Short answer: Hill-placed Hybrid units and Hill-only Hill units. From the table above, any S-tier Hybrid placed on a Hill handles Soaring threats reliably — think Sky God (Rumble) and Shinobi (Eternal). Use Roblox community resources and the game’s official updates to verify spawn mechanics if you want the exact Hill counts.
The must-have picks I keep recommending — Quick reads for fast decisions
Observation: In ranked play I often get 30 seconds to decide a pull or a placement. You need fast rules, not long essays.
- S-tier DPS (Hybrid/Hill & Ground): Sky God (Rumble), Elyssia (Abyssal), Explosion Mage (Archdemon), Shinobi (Eternal), Fused Hero. These carry across modes.
- S-tier Support: Snow Reaper (Final), Water Goddess, Phoenix (Mythic Flames), Idol (Star), Operator (Room). They buff or stall in ways that win matches.
- Farm units (must-have): Bulby & C.E.O. — cheap to use, reliable to level.
Note: I test teams on Roblox and track meta chatter on Moyens I/O and Reddit; if you follow those platforms you’ll catch nerfs and bans early.
How do Soaring units work after UPD 21?
Short answer: Ground units hit but at 50% damage and no CC; Hill or Hill-placed Hybrid units fully engage Soaring enemies. That rule flips many older “ground carry” comps into traps — treat the hill like a stage that commands attention.
Support choices and synergy — observation then advice
Observation: I logged three raids where a single support made a 30% difference in clear time. The right support is the difference between a cleaned run and a wasted hour.
Pick supports that amplify your main damage type. Phoenix for burn comps, Water Goddess to buff water DPS, and Shadow Sorcerer for Mahoraga-summon synergy. Operator (Room) creates stall windows that feel like a pressure cooker — high tension, high payoff.
Farm Units (Must-Have): Bulby & C.E.O.
Tier List Updates Coming Soon: More detailed ranking reasons for units as well as the B-Tier/Tier III are both coming soon.
Flying and Soaring Units Update: Any unit can now hit fliers with ground units dealing 50% less damage with no CC effects. Soaring units can only be hit by Hill and Hybrid units placed on Hills. A Hybrid unit cannot hit a Soaring enemy if it’s not placed on a Hill.
Practical pulls and where to spend your pearls
Observation: I checked the Summer banners on the Roblox page and tracked capsule rotations on Beehiiv. If you’re chasing a specific S-tier from a seasonal portal, time your pearls to the banner — Summer Pearls pulled for Explosion Mage or Fishi are still high-ROI.
If you want a quick spend rule: prioritize units that are both Hill-capable and S-tier support or DPS. That gives you flexibility across PvE modes and raids.
That’s the list — fast, tested, and updated for UPD 21. I run the setups on Roblox and watch community threads on Moyens I/O and Discord, so this list will evolve with the meta. Do you think the hill rules made the game more strategic, or did they just nerf creativity?
