Anime Squadron is a Roblox tower-defense auto-battler where your squad’s performance hinges entirely on which units and traits you run. Both are RNG-heavy, which makes knowing what to aim for critical. Here’s everything ranked from SS down to D so you can build smarter from day one.
| Category | Top Picks |
|---|---|
| Best DPS | Gometa (SSJ4), Woo (Shadow), Madora (Gunbai) |
| Best Support | Shinks, Rudaus |
| Best Tank | Shield Hero, Gometa (SSJ4) |
| Best Farm Unit | Fastwagon |
| Best Traits | Superior, Cloner |
| Worst to Skip | Shin, Igras, Endure |
Rankings cover usability across all game modes — Infinite Mode, boss runs, and wave-clear alike.
| Tier | Units |
|---|---|
| SS | Gometa (SSJ4), Woo (Shadow), Madora (Gunbai), Shanron |
| S | Rizzuto (Sage), Vegata (SSJ Full Power), Goki (SSJ4 Full Power), Shinks, Fastwagon |
| A | Karashi (Sharingan), Shield Hero, Rudaus |
| B | Big Beard, Mamosa |
| C | Choi, Tranks, Zaro |
| D | Shin, Igras |
Gometa (SSJ4) is the best DPS in the game. Massive self-stacking buffs, strong defense, HP regen, and a dodge make him effective in every mode. Evolve Goki to SSJ4 Full Power first, then complete the questline for Primal Core materials to unlock Gometa.
Woo (Shadow) is a top-2 DPS thanks to his Shadow Soldier mechanic. He scales hard in long fights and Infinite Mode but requires 20,000 summons (pity) on the banner secret, making him harder to get early.
Madora (Gunbai) brings burn damage, meteor attacks, and consistent boss-killing output. Obtained from Ninja Village Squadron Act 4 — one of the most accessible SS units.
Shanron is incredibly versatile as DPS, tank, and support in one unit. Obtained from GT City Raid Act 4, but his evolution cost is steep — don’t prioritize him over the other three early on.
Rizzuto (Sage) is a reliable DPS that handles most content well but lacks the overwhelming power of SS units. Vegata (SSJ Full Power) has a cheap, effective ultimate and is key to the Gometa evolution chain — always worth building. Goki (SSJ4 Full Power) is Gometa’s direct prerequisite, so he’s auto-include during mid-game. Shinks is the best support in the game, with a damage reduction aura and dodge support that boost your whole team’s survivability. Fastwagon is the only money unit and practically mandatory — faster income means faster access to expensive units.
Karashi (Sharingan) is the fastest mythic unit, great for clearing weak stages quickly. Shield Hero is the best tank thanks to damage redirection and becomes increasingly valuable in hard content. Rudaus provides cooldown reduction for nearby allies — niche, but powerful in specific late-game comps.
Big Beard and Mamosa (B tier) are useful early but quickly fall off. Choi, Tranks, Zaro (C tier) are fine as starter DPS, but should be replaced as soon as better units drop. Shin and Igras (D tier) are only useful in the very first stages.

Traits can deliver a bigger power spike than upgrading the unit itself. The damage-focused meta dominates, but utility traits like Cloner and Entrepreneur improve your entire team.
| Tier | Traits |
|---|---|
| SS | Superior, Cloner |
| S | Entrepreneur, Rebirth |
| A | Lethal, Sniper, Wealthy |
| B | Knight, Juggernaut |
| C | Ranger, Powerful |
| D | Sight, Endure, Tank |
Superior gives +200% DMG, +300% HP, +30% RNG, -15% CD, and +1 Spawn Cap — the best all-around trait in the game and first priority for your main DPS. Cloner is nearly as powerful, scaling your strongest unit’s output across the whole team. Entrepreneur is the go-to for Fastwagon, dramatically increasing economy speed. Rebirth is the best defensive trait and pairs perfectly with Shield Hero or Karashi for survivability.
Prioritize maxing Fastwagon first — the economy boost it provides accelerates every other upgrade you need.
Gometa (SSJ4) is the strongest unit overall, combining top DPS with strong defensive stats and HP regen. Rush his evolution chain as early as possible.
Superior is the best trait in 2026, granting massive boosts to damage, HP, range, and cooldown simultaneously. Pair it with Gometa for maximum impact.
Shanron is excellent but extremely expensive to grind and evolve. Don’t rush him — build Gometa, Woo, and Madora first, then invest in Shanron once your main team is established.
The strongest balanced team is Gometa (Superior), Karashi (Rebirth), Vegata (Cloner), and Fastwagon. This covers DPS, survivability, team scaling, and economy in a single loadout.
