Anime Galaxies Tier List – Best Units [UPDATE 1]

Bald Hero is one of my first picks when a stage throws flying enemies and a tough boss at the same team. He hits air and ground, deals 30% extra damage to bosses, and lands an 80% follow-up every third attack. Give him a lane with a steady stream of targets so No Limiter can reach 50 charges and unload a 400% follow-up on everything in range.

Roger gets a slot when shields are holding up the run. He bypasses them, stuns for 2.5 seconds with a 12-second cooldown on the effect, and splashes enemies within six studs for a 150% follow-up every fifth attack. Position him to catch your main damage dealers in his range for the 10% damage buff. Multiple Rogers won’t stack that buff.

Sokonu comes into his own when waves feed him kills. His hits Bleed enemies above half health for 50% damage over three seconds and deal 30% extra damage below half. Takedowns spread a four-second Burn for 40% damage within six studs, and every 15 primes a 200% follow-up across his range. His five-second Domain comes around every 40 seconds, so a bend or a Slow unit can help keep enemies in it for more of those 50% damage ticks, which land every half-second.

Keep Ishgo somewhere he can hit consistently. It takes 15 hits to fill his Hollow Gauge and get eight seconds of Rage, during which his hits inflict a Bleed worth 60% of his damage over three seconds. From Upgrade 3, every third attack adds a 60% follow-up to the target and up to two more enemies within six studs. He’s a strong carry once he gets rolling, though there are better picks for wiping an entire packed wave at once.

Place Goju tight to a bend so enemies spend time in the inner 40% of his range. That’s where Infinite Distance deals 6% of his damage per second, and his every-fourth-attack burst adds an 80% follow-up within six studs of the target. Foji or Megomu can help keep enemies close enough for the aura to do its job.

Zid thrives where packs stay close together. When an enemy dies with his six-second Shadow Mark still on it, the mark jumps to the nearest enemy within 10 studs for a 50% follow-up. Every 12 takedowns sets up a 250% follow-up with an eight-stud splash, and at 30 Atomic Charges his next attack deals a 400% follow-up to everything in range. Put him on a crowded ground lane where he can keep both counters moving.

Give Stork his own patch of the map. At Upgrade 3, leaving 10 studs clear around him boosts his every-third-attack Soul Wolf explosion from 90% to 135% damage in a five-stud radius. Every 25 seconds, Lupine Barrage fires six 30% follow-ups over three seconds at random targets. Keep his space clear and let the explosions do the work.

Joren covers air and ground and can stun enemies he hits for two seconds, with a 12-second cooldown on the effect. I like him on longer runs where he can claim enough takedowns to build his match-long damage bonus: 0.5% per kill, up to 50%. Gaps between waves give him something to do too. Ten seconds with no enemies in range fills his Focus and gives his next attack +100% damage.

A slot for Spedwag pays for the upgrades your carries need to get going. Put down enough damage to hold the opening waves, then build your income so you can afford the important upgrades before the lane gets busy. Turn on last-wave farm selling if you want that cash back for the finish.

Full kit breakdown coming soon.

Ultra Gowko does the same job as Bald Hero: hybrid coverage, 30% extra boss damage, an 80% follow-up every third attack, and a 400% burst at 50 charges. If you already have him built, you have a carry for both air waves and bosses. I’d put him where he can keep landing hits as waves come through so Supreme Charge is ready for a crowd.

Put Tango where his 12-stud aura can reach your best damage dealers. Festival Showman gives other units in that radius +20% damage, and overlapping Tango auras won’t stack. Give him a piece of the lane too: his hits apply 30% damage as Burn over three seconds, and every fifth attack splashes enemies within eight studs of the target for a 150% follow-up.

Bring Golden Freezo when the hardest part of the stage is on the ground. He deals 35% extra damage to bosses and can stun enemies he hits for two seconds, with a 14-second cooldown on the stun. Golden Death Ball needs 40 charges and hits every enemy in range for a 450% follow-up on the next attack. Save another slot for air coverage.

Give Demon King a busy ground lane where he can secure kills himself. His attacks deal 40% damage as Bleed over four seconds, and he deals 25% more damage to bleeding targets. Every 10 takedowns sets up a 250% follow-up that hits the target and enemies within 10 studs. That makes him much more valuable in a packed lane than against a boss with no enemies around it.
