- Compare role, damage, SPA, and range before investing.
- Open calculators before rerolling traits or chips.
- Treat tier placements as mode-specific guidance.
Fast answer: how should you use this Anime Vanguards tier list?
Use this tier list as a shortlist, not as an automatic spending order. S-tier units are the safest units to test first, A-tier units can be excellent when their route and mode fit your account, and B-tier units can still be correct for progression when they solve a specific team problem. Before spending Trait Rerolls, Stat Chips, evolution materials, or trade value, confirm the unit role with the DPS calculator, team builder, and investment planner.

Citation facts
Citation facts: Update 13 tier-list guidance on this page is an editorial shortlist, not an official stat table. Roblox API context confirms the current game listing, public tier references support shortlist candidates, Fandom ascension notes support duplicate-copy risk, and this site's data downloads expose 369 unit stat rows. Use the DPS calculator, unit compare, and source policy before spending duplicates, rerolls, Stat Chips, materials, Gems, or trade value.

Godly Ascension tier-list answer
Use this section when the search phrase includes Godly Ascension, ascension tier list, or duplicate copies. The ranking tells you what to test first; it does not decide whether a copy, reroll, Stat Chip, material stack, or trade value should be spent.
Ascension copy decision
Do not spend ascension copies from a tier label alone. Check whether the duplicate improves a permanent unit, unlocks a route you can actually use, or is better held for value pressure.

Build proof
Before rerolls or Stat Chips, test whether the unit fixes Story, Infinite, Rift, Boss Rush, raid, dungeon, or Pirate Dynasty pressure on your current account.

Mode role and dependency matrix
A good tier-list answer should name the mode, the role, and the dependency before recommending any spend. Use the matching row, then open the linked planner before consuming scarce resources.
Anime Vanguards tier-list mode roles, dependencies, and spend boundaries.
| Search intent | Mode role | Dependency to confirm | Spend rule | Open next |
|---|
| Story progression | Cheap carry, wave clear, stable upgrade path. | The unit clears the current chapter without draining materials needed for a longer-term carry. | Spend just enough to clear the wall; hold premium rerolls and Stat Chips unless the unit stays useful. | Open route |
| Infinite mode | Scaling damage, range, SPA control, support uptime. | The unit keeps value in long waves after trait, stat, and team-slot assumptions are entered. | Use DPS and team checks before treating a Story carry as an Infinite carry. | Open route |
| Boss Rush / Rift | Boss pressure, burst timing, survivability, route access. | The unit changes a repeated boss or Rift failure, not just a general tier rank. | Spend only when the clear problem is named and the unit solves that problem better than current options. | Open route |
| Raids and dungeons | Stable farm route, familiar/shop/resource target. | The unit improves repeat clears or shortens a farm route tied to a reward you actually need. | Do not consume a duplicate from one carried clear or reward rumor. | Open route |
| Godly Ascension duplicate | Permanent unit copy, ascension effect, trade/hold decision. | The duplicate beats holding for trade value, future route changes, or a second-team copy. | Run ascension, investment, DPS, and value checks before consuming the copy. | Open route |
| Trading and value | Demand signal, rarity, shiny/trait quality, update freshness. | Current demand and account fit justify the offer after risk checks. | Do not turn a tier row into a live price; use it as one demand signal. | Open route |

How to read this tier list
S-tier units are the safest targets when you need late-game scaling, strong utility, or flexible team building. A-tier units are worth testing or investing in if they fit your game mode. B-tier units can carry progression but should not drain all resources unless they solve a specific problem.
Tier list decision order
- Start with the mode. Story, Infinite, Boss Rush, Rift, raids, dungeons, portals, and Legend Stages reward different unit roles.
- Check the role gap. Decide whether you need a main carry, boss killer, support, farm stability, range, SPA control, or route-specific utility.
- Compare usable power, not only rank. A unit you can evolve, trait, and place correctly can beat a higher-ranked unit that is stuck behind materials.
- Test the numbers. Use base DPS, SPA, range, buffs, hits, and trait assumptions before spending scarce resources.
- Delay when evidence is noisy. Update 13 units can move while players test Rift, Boss Rush, Pirate Dynasty, and Battlepass routes.
Mode notes
Rift: value burst, survivability, and reliable boss pressure.
Boss Rush: prioritize focused damage and team utility.
Story: cost curve and consistency matter more than pure ceiling.
Odyssey: card synergy and flexible routes can change unit priority.
Mode-by-mode adjustments
Story progression
Use cheaper, reliable units that stabilize waves before chasing a perfect late-game lineup. A smooth upgrade curve matters more than a rare name.
Open Story guide
Infinite mode
Prioritize scaling damage, range, support uptime, and traits that keep value deep into a run. Story-only comfort can fall off here.

Boss Rush and Rift
Boss pressure, burst windows, survivability, and route access can move Update 13 units above their general placement for a specific account.

Investment rules by tier
S tier
Safe to test first, but do not spend premium resources until the unit has a real slot on your main team or a clear mode purpose.
Check investment plan
A tier
Often worth building when the route is current, the evolved form is reachable, and the unit solves a mode-specific problem.
Check evolutions
B tier
Use for progression, collection gaps, or temporary clears. Avoid heavy rerolling unless the unit has an unusually strong trait or role fit.
Check trait rerolls
Watchlist units
For fresh Update 13 or Battlepass units, wait for clearer DPS, route, and demand evidence before treating rank as permanent.
Check watchlist
When a lower-tier unit is still correct
A lower-tier unit is still worth using when it fixes your current bottleneck. Keep it in the lineup if it clears a Story wall, improves boss damage, covers a missing element, enables a raid or dungeon route, carries a strong trait, or saves resources while you wait for a better summon target.
Recommended tier-list workflow
- Choose the mode or route you are trying to clear.
- Shortlist S-tier and A-tier units that match that mode.
- Open the unit profile or unit database row to confirm role, element, range, SPA, and DPS context.
- Use the team builder to check whether the unit actually improves your six-slot lineup.
- Use the investment planner before spending Trait Rerolls, Stat Chips, evolution materials, or trade value.
