S‑Tier DPS Units
| Unit | Role | How to Obtain | Key Strengths |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gometa (SSJ4) | DPS / Tank | Evolve Goki to Full Power, then complete quest | Self‑stacking buffs, massive defense and HP regen; best all‑rounder |
| Puppeteer (Transcendent) | DPS | Base from Katakara Bridge Challenge; EVO from Hard Mode | High burst damage, self‑buffs, good survivability |
| Woo (Shadow) | DPS | Banner Secret (20k summon pity) | Fast clear speeds, excellent for farming |
| Madora (Gunbai) | DoT DPS | Ninja Village Squadron Act 4 | Top tier damage over time, great for bosses |
| Shanron (Omega) | DoT DPS / Tank / Support | GT City Raid Act 4 | Versatile; excellent DoT, can tank and support |
A‑Tier DPS Units
| Unit | Role | How to Obtain | Why Not S‑Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goki (SSJ4 Full Power) | DPS | Standard EVO path | Required for Gogeta but outshined by Gometa |
| Vegata (SSJ4 Full Power) | DPS | Standard EVO path | Decent damage, mainly used as material for Gogeta |
| Karashi (Sharingan) | DPS / Farm | Summon or evolve | Lower peak damage but excellent for resource farming |
B‑Tier DPS Units
| Unit | Role | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Rizzuto (Sage) | DPS | Solid mid‑game option, but scales poorly late |
| Big Beard | DPS / Tank | Better damage than C‑tier, can tank mid‑game stages |
C‑Tier DPS Units
| Unit | Notes |
|---|---|
| Choi | Good early game damage, filler |
| Tranks | Another beginner‑friendly DPS |

Optimal Team Compositions
Building the right team is half the battle. Below are proven lineups for different content.
Farming Madora (NVSA4)
- 2 DPS units (Gometa or Puppeteer)
- Shinks (support)
- Fastwagon (farm)
- Alternatively, use Vegata with Superior or Cloner trait.
Farming Shanron (GTCRA4)
- Vegata (Superior or Cloner) solo clears this stage easily.
- You can also use the Madora team if you prefer.
Mid‑to‑Late Game All‑Around Team
- Gometa (Superior trait)
- Karashi (Rebirth trait)
- Vegata (Superior or Cloner trait)
- Fastwagon (any farm trait)
Pro tip: Max out Fastwagon first—its farm rate is crucial for long sessions.
Support and Tank Units You Should Know
While DPS units get the spotlight, supports and tanks are vital for survival and speed farming.
| Unit | Tier | How to Get | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shield Hero | S Tank | Battle Pass | Best tank for all content except end‑game (replace with Gometa later) |
| Shinks | S Support | Summon | One of the best debuffers in the game |
| Big Beard | B Tank/DPS | Summon | Good mid‑game tank, outclassed by Shield Hero |
| Gometa (SSJ4) | S Tank (end‑game) | Evolution | Use as tank after you unlock his full potential |
| Shanron (Omega) | S Support/Tank | GT City Raid | Versatile but expensive to build |
| Rudaus | A Support (early) | Summon | Excellent budget buffer |
| Mamosa | A Support (early) | Summon | Similar to Rudaus, great for beginners |
How to Farm Trait Rerolls, Gems, Gold, and EXP
Farming resources efficiently can save you hours. Use the table below to target the best methods.
| Resource | Best Farming Method | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Trait Rerolls | Raid Shop | 30‑minute challenges with Karashi, AFK Chamber |
| Gems | Raid Shop | Story 1-1 Hard, 30‑minute challenges, AFK Chamber |
| Gold | Raid Shop | Squadron (20/40 waves), 30‑minute challenges, selling banner summons, AFK Chamber |
| EXP | Raids | Squadron, Story 1-1 |
Player reports indicate that running Karashi (Sharingan) on the 30‑minute challenge stages yields the best passive resource gain. Don’t forget to redeem Anime Squadron codes for freebies.
FAQ
How often is the anime squadron tier list updated?
We update our anime squadron tier list whenever a new unit drops or balance changes occur. After the full release (June 2026), we added Puppeteer and revised rankings based on community testing.
Is Gometa still the best unit in the game?
According to current meta analysis, yes. Gometa (SSJ4) offers unparalleled self‑stacking damage, tankiness, and survival. It’s the single most important unit to rush if you’re starting from scratch.
Can I use B‑tier units for end‑game content?
You can, but they will underperform compared to S‑ and A‑tier options. Units like Big Beard and Rizzuto are fine for mid‑game, but you’ll need at least one S‑tier DPS to clear the hardest raids and infinite stages.
What is the fastest way to get Gems in Anime Squadron?
Based on player experience, the most consistent method is farming the Raid Shop daily and using Karashi on 30‑minute challenge stages. Hard Story 1-1 also drops gems reliably.
