FAQ

What is the best unit in Anime Vanguards?

Divalo (Requiem) is universally ranked #1 for DPS. For utility, Lich King (Ruler) dominates. For support/buffing, Armored Mage (Requip) is the top pick. The best team combines all three roles.

Do tier rankings change by game mode?

Yes. A unit that excels in Story mode may be less effective in Raids or PvP. Our rankings reflect general performance across most content. For mode-specific advice, check individual unit evidence notes.

Should I only use SS-tier units?

Not necessarily. Many SS units are extremely rare (Secret/Vanguard rarity). A well-built A-tier team with good traits can clear most content. Focus on what you have and invest in units you enjoy.
