Do Anime Vanguards units rank the same in every mode?

No. Story, Infinite, Rift, Boss Rush, and Pirate Dynasty can value damage, range, cost, utility, and traits differently.

Which mode should a beginner focus on first?

Most players should stabilize Story progression before investing heavily into harder mode-specific routes.
