If you've been grinding through Anime Crusaders, you already know team setup can make or break a match. With so many heroes inspired by top anime icons, the real challenge is figuring out who's worth building — and who's just taking up space.
That's why we created this Anime Crusaders tier list, ranking every hero by how useful they actually are in the current meta.
Whether you're still learning the ropes or a veteran chasing high-tier clears, this breakdown covers the top DPS, support, and hybrid units worth your time after the latest update.
This ranking looks at each hero's performance, synergy, scaling, and overall impact in different modes. We've organised them into S, A, B, and C tiers.
S-tier characters define the Anime Crusaders meta, while lower tiers help mainly early-game players. You'll also find each unit's element, class, and main strength in the tier tables for easy comparison.
These are the best characters of Anime Crusaders. They pack serious DPS, versatile skills, and late-game carry potential. If you manage to summon one, build your team around them — they'll crush Story and Infinite modes with ease.
