Anime Squadron Tier List (UPD 0.5): Best Units Ranked for Berserk Update
Our Anime Squadron tier list ranks every unit after the Berserk update. Find top DPS, tanks, support, and farm units with tables and tips.
Why You Need an Updated Anime Squadron Tier List
The latest Berserk update (UPD 0.5) has shaken up the meta in Roblox’s Anime Squadron. New units like Berserker, Falcon, Casca, and Skeleton Knight have joined the roster, while older favorites like Gogeta and Puppeteer are being reevaluated. Whether you’re grinding for endgame raids or just starting your story mode, having a reliable anime squadron tier list saves you time and resources. We’ve pulled insights from both the Destructoid guide and community feedback (including a popular YouTube creator) to bring you the most accurate rankings as of June 2026.
This anime squadron tier list covers every major role: DPS, tank, support, and farm. We’ll break down why certain units dominate, which ones to skip, and how to optimize your team with the best gear and traits. Let’s dive in.
S-Tier DPS: The Absolute Meta
These units deal the highest damage in the game and are essential for clearing hard content like Eclipse raids and Infinite runs. Based on testing and community reports, the following four units belong in the top rank.
| Unit | How to Get | Why S-Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Gogeta (SSJ4) | Evolve Goku and Vegeta to Full Power, then complete questline for Primal Core materials | Insane self-stacking buffs, clone passive for massive DPS, and amazing tanking with high defense and HP regen. Many players now rank him higher than Shenron. |
| Berserker (Enraged) | Obtainable from Squadron Eclipse (Before) and Chapter 4 | Huge Bleed DoT that reduces enemy regen; damage scales with lower HP. Combos perfectly with Skeleton Knight. Self-heal keeps him alive longer. |
| Puppeteer (Transcendent) | Base from Katakara Bridge Challenge, EVO item from Hard Mode | Weaker than Gogeta but still a top-tier DPS and tank hybrid. Self-buffs and a pure damage debuff make him a reliable frontline killer. |
| Woo (Shadow) | Banner Secret with 20k summons pity | Top meta DPS for fast clears; excellent for farming stages quickly. |
Community note: Some players argue Berserker out-damages Gogeta in prolonged fights, but Gogeta’s clone passive generally wins in burst scenarios.
A-Tier DPS: Strong but Situational
These units are excellent for endgame but either require heavy investment or have slightly lower peak damage than S-tier.
| Unit | How to Get | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Skeleton Knight (Resonance) | Raid Eclipse (Before), Last Chapter | Excellent hybrid DPS/tank; links to strongest ally for damage reduction. Lower raw DPS than S-tier but incredible utility. |
| Falcon (Dark) | EVO from Banner Mythic Falcon | Decent DPS with executes, plus support and farm boosts (yen gain, debuff resistance). Not meta DPS but incredibly versatile. |
| Shenron (Omega) | GT City Raid Act 4 | Versatile DoT DPS, tank, and support. Very expensive to grind – don’t rush him. |
| Goku (SSJ4 Full Power) and Vegeta (SSJ4 Full Power) | Required for Gogeta | Both are decent sub-meta DPS, but their main value is as evolution material for Gogeta. |
Tip: Falcon is rated by many players as a better support than Shenron, especially for farming yen.
B-Tier and C-Tier DPS: Mid-Game Fillers
These units are great for beginners or as placeholder damage dealers until you obtain S/A-tier options.
| Unit | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Karashi (Sharingan) | B-Tier DPS / Farm | Lower DPS but excellent for farming resources; good filler for endgame teams. |
| Rizzuto (Sage) | B-Tier DPS | Decent mid-game, but doesn’t scale well into endgame. |
| Casca (Resilience) | B-Tier DPS / Support | Amazing support potential (damage amplification for Berserker/Falcon). Her own DPS is only decent against enemies above 60% HP. Many players skip her this update. |
| Big Beard | B-Tier DPS / Tank | Better damage than C-tier, but Shield Hero tanks better. Good early-to-mid game tank. |
| Choi, Tranks, and other beginners | C-Tier DPS | Solid for early story stages; transition away as you obtain better units. |
Best Tank Units in Anime Squadron
Tanking is crucial for surviving hard raids. Here’s how the best tanks stack up after UPD 0.5.
| Tank Unit | Tier | Key Strength |
|---|---|---|
| Puppeteer (Transcendent) | S | High DPS + tankiness; self buffs and debuffs. |
| Skeleton Knight (Resonance) | A | Best pure tank due to link damage reduction; also deals decent damage. |
| Gogeta (SSJ4) | S | Not only top DPS but also an amazing tank with high defense, regen, and dodge. |
| Shield Hero | A | Best tank in early-to-mid game; replace with Gogeta for endgame. |
| Big Beard | B | Solid early tank with better DPS than Shield Hero but less survivability. |
| Shenron (Omega) | A | Versatile tank option but expensive; not recommended as primary tank. |
Player experience: Many veterans recommend using Puppeteer or Skeleton Knight as your main tank, with Gogeta as an off-tank/DPS.
Best Support Units
Supports can make or break your team by providing buffs, debuffs, or farming boosts. Here’s the updated support tier list.
| Support Unit | Tier | Specialty |
|---|---|---|
| Shinks | S | One of the best all-around supports; always run Cloner trait. |
| Casca (Resilience) | A | Amplifies damage for Berserker and Falcon; decent DPS in the right setup. |
| Falcon (Dark) | A | Increases yen gain and debuff resistance; also executes enemies for faster clears. |
| Shenron (Omega) | A | Versatile support with DoT and tanking, but very resource-heavy. |
| Rudaus | B | Excellent early-game support. |
| Mamosa | B | Good early-game support. |
Best Farm Units
Farming gold, gems, and trait rerolls is vital. These units help you grind faster.
| Farm Unit | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Falcon | Yen farming | Kill-based yen boost; also supports team. |
| Karashi | Resource farming | Fast clears for story and challenge modes. |
| Woo (Shadow) | Fast stage clears | Top DPS that speeds up farming runs. |
| Fastwagon | General farming | Money Maker gear set recommended. |
