Building the strongest team in Anime Expeditions isn't as simple as chasing the rarest units. Some characters excel at clearing Story Mode, others dominate Raids or Expeditions, while support and economy units can increase your team's overall performance more than adding another damage dealer.

Rather than ranking units by damage alone, this Roblox Anime Expeditions tier list focuses on how much value each character brings to a complete team

Roblox Anime Expeditions tier list

S+ Tier

These are the strongest units currently available and should be your highest priority for Trait Crystals, Evolution materials, and Exclusive Equipment.

S Tier

Excellent units that remain valuable throughout the game but are generally more specialized than the S+ carries.

A Tier

Strong units capable of clearing almost all content but generally requiring better team support or more investment.

B Tier

Useful during progression but eventually replaced by stronger options.

• Greed
• Ice Queen
• Water Princess
• Scissor

These units are perfectly capable of carrying early Story chapters but shouldn't receive expensive upgrades once stronger Mythics become available.

C Tier

Mostly early-game fillers.

• Stone Alchemist
• Ice Mage
• Bounty Hunter
• Corps Captain
• Demon Cyborg
• Nen Hunter

They're usable while progressing but should eventually be replaced.

D Tier

These units offer little long-term value.

Examples include:

• Carrot
• Rubber Boy

Use them only until you get stronger characters.

Best Anime Expeditions beginner units

Not everyone starts with Secrets or top Mythics.

These units are excellent investments while progressing:

Avoid spending rare resources on low-rarity units you'll quickly replace.

Best Anime Expeditions DPS units

If your goal is pure damage, prioritize these units.

These characters consistently dominate Story Mode, Raids, and Infinite thanks to their excellent scaling and high damage ceilings.

Best Anime Expeditions support units

Support characters often contribute more to difficult stages than another average DPS.

Best Anime Expeditions economy units

If a game mode allows economy units, Ramen Guy is usually worth bringing. This Unit generates extra money throughout the stage, allowing faster upgrades and stronger late-game scaling. 

So, what is the best unit in Anime Expeditions?

As of the current release meta, Shadow (Divine) is widely considered the strongest overall unit thanks to its outstanding damage, excellent scaling, and versatility across every major game mode.

Close behind are 8th Sword (Berserk), Puppet (Telekinetic), and Cursed Student (True Love), all of which are excellent long-term investments for virtually any account.
