Best UPD1 Anime Origins Units Tier List

Cursed Lover (Pure Love) / Yuta game image

At this point, the Anime Origins meta is much clearer than it was at launch. I’ve had time to test significantly more units across different modes, evolve and ascend key picks, and compare how they perform in actual endgame teams rather than judging them purely on paper.

The tier list above reflects that broader testing and should now be treated as a reliable snapshot of the current meta, although placements can still change as balance updates arrive, new units are added, and certain synergies become better understood.

Unit	Evaluation
S Tier — Meta Units
Madaro (Edo Tensei) Anime alias: Madara SecretHybridS TierBest for: Best OverallBest Trait: Immortal / Overseer	The safest all-purpose carry in the current release meta. Heaven’s Pressure adds repeat AOE pressure through Calamity, while Sosano Time gives him excellent long-run scaling. Heaven Splitter is the real endgame button: a 500% Damage slash reaching up to triple his normal Range. Add debuff/CC protection and true Hybrid coverage and there are very few maps where Madaro is a bad slot. Immortal is the dream roll; Overseer is the more practical premium alternative if Immortal is already reserved elsewhere.
Cursed Lover (Pure Love) Anime alias: Yuta SecretGroundS TierBest for: Flexible CarryBest Trait: Immortal / Overseer	Copy is still one of the strongest mechanics in the game because Cursed Lover can store up to four copyable Active Abilities and keep their original effects and cooldowns. He is not utility-only either: Lingering Queen’s Heads add recurring AOE and Love Beam hits five times for 300% total Damage. His ceiling rises with the quality of the rest of your roster, which makes him an especially strong long-term investment.
Valcrad (Unleashed) Anime alias: Alucard SecretGroundS TierBest for: Best BossBest Trait: Rupture / Immortal	Valcrad is the cleanest boss-control carry: built-in Crit, permanent Range growth from crits, Bleed synergy, summons, and Restriction Release scaling all sit in the same kit. Coffin Trap can Stun each Boss for 7 seconds once, which is enormous in Raids and other boss-heavy content. Rupture naturally amplifies his Crit package; Immortal is the jackpot if you want to turn an already complete carry into a monster.
Rainu Harto (Sword Saint) Anime alias: Reinhard van Astrea SecretGroundS TierBest for: Boss / Tank KillerBest Trait: Immortal / Ascendant	Rainu Harto is one of the strongest boss killers in the game. The moment a Boss or another Worthy Enemy enters his Range, Dragon Sword Reid gives him +75% Damage and switches him into Heavenly Multi-Slash. The adaptation mechanic is what pushes him into S Tier: every second attack against the same Worthy Enemy can counter its abilities, while Divine Mandate keeps rotating between Cooldown/Range, Physical Penetration, percentage-based damage, debuff protection, and Crit bonuses. Immortal turns him into a ridiculous centerpiece carry; Ascendant is the natural alternative if you mainly want him deleting bosses and other high-HP targets.
Goju (Honored One) Anime alias: Satoru Gojo MythicSupportS TierBest for: Best Crowd ControlBest Trait: Hawkeye / Overseer	Goju is now an S-tier overall unit, not merely an A-tier specialist. Newer meta references place him among the game’s top overall picks because his control remains valuable even when your damage roster is already stacked. Infinity gives him excellent defensive utility, while his Slow and Time Stop-style control can buy enormous damage windows in Raids, Infinite, and other difficult content. Hawkeye is the most role-focused trait for maximizing his control coverage; Overseer remains the stronger all-purpose alternative if you also care about his personal output.
Bon (Purgatory) Anime alias: Ban MythicHybrid / SupportS TierBest for: Best SupportBest Trait: Stride / Overseer	Bon compresses several jobs into one slot: Hybrid coverage, useful personal damage, team buffs, and extra economy. His food effects can juice a primary carry while his income contribution helps expensive teams come online earlier. That role compression is why I value Bon as an S-tier overall unit even when another carry can beat his raw DPS.
Sobaru and Beti (Forbidden Library) Anime alias: Subaru & Beatrice MythicHillS TierBest for: Hill Control / Anti-HealBest Trait: Immortal / Overseer	Sobaru and Beti immediately solve several problems at once: premium Hill coverage, Wound on first contact, repeat crowd control, and respectable scaling when multiple wounded enemies stay inside their Range. Murak is the real prize. Every eighth attack adds Bonus Magic Damage and Suspends normal enemies for 5 seconds, while Bosses still eat a 30% Slow for 3 seconds. Forbidden Library adds up to +16% Damage from wounded enemies in Range, so the kit naturally feeds itself instead of asking you to build an entire team around it. Immortal is the dream roll; Overseer is the safer premium alternative.

Bluma (Data Analyst) Anime alias: Bulma MythicFarmS TierBest for: Best FarmBest Trait: Hustler	Bluma remains the best dedicated economy unit. Allied kills inside her Range build Training Data and the final checkpoint reaches +30% Income at 380 Data. She is strongest in Infinite and any longer mode where the extra cash converts into earlier max upgrades on expensive carries. Hustler is the obvious end goal; do not waste a premium carry trait on a unit whose entire reason to exist is economy.
Tango (Star of Festivals) Anime alias: Tengen MythicGroundS TierBest for: Meta DPS / CCBest Trait: Stride	Tango remains an S-tier meta unit because he combines strong Ground damage with utility most pure carries cannot replicate. Brittle improves team damage against affected enemies, while his exceptionally long Stun gives him outstanding control in Raid and boss-heavy content. Stride fits the kit perfectly because sustained attacking lets Tempo convert into excellent attack-cycle value over longer fights.
A Tier — Excellent Units
Igritto (Commander) Anime alias: Igris MythicGroundA TierBest for: High-Ceiling DPSBest Trait: Rupture	Igritto sits right on the S/A border. Crimson Authority adds Crit and boss pressure, while Frenzy gives rapid slashes plus +35% Damage and -20% Cooldown. The key detail is that the Frenzy buffs remain for 20 seconds after Frenzy ends, giving him much better sustained value than a simple seven-second burst unit. Rupture is the natural premium trait if you want to push the Crit side of the kit as hard as possible.
Starku (Primordial) Anime alias: Starrk MythicGroundA TierBest for: Burst / NukeBest Trait: Overseer / Rupture	Starku is one of the better Mythic damage options, especially when you can position him so his spacing/range conditions stay active. His burst ceiling is excellent, but compared with the S-tier carries he is a little more dependent on placement and cooldown windows. Overseer is the consistent all-round roll; Rupture is the aggressive alternative for a Crit-focused setup.
Sosuke (Eternal) Anime alias: Sasuke MythicGroundA TierBest for: Sustained DPSBest Trait: Immortal / Decay	Sosuke is staying high despite some wildly inconsistent third-party rankings. His published kit is simply too complete to treat as filler. Hatred cycles Lightning and Amaterasu modes; Lightning can stack +25% Damage and -10% Cooldown, Black Flame adds Burn, and every three mode cycles triggers a 200% AOE Sosano hit. Decay leans into Black Flame while Stride is better if you value smoother cycling and attack uptime.
Tojei (Sorcerer Killer) Anime alias: Toji MythicGroundA TierBest for: Boss DPSBest Trait: Rupture / Ascendant	Tojei remains a strong boss-focused Ground carry with excellent independent damage and very little setup required from the rest of the team. The trade-off is that his anti-sorcerer style of kit is less support-friendly than conventional carries, so he does not scale with team buffs as cleanly as the very top options. Rupture is the safe damage roll; Ascendant is excellent when your priority is Raid and boss content.
Noroto (Linked) Anime alias: Naruto MythicGroundA TierBest for: Burst WindowsBest Trait: Stride / Overseer	Nine-Tails’ Cloak gives Noroto a very real 20-second power window: +25% Damage, -20% Cooldown, and +15% Range. Tailed Beast Barrage adds a 50% AOE burst every third attack during Cloak, so he contributes to wave clear instead of being only a boss unit. Stride improves attack density during the transformation; Overseer is the cleaner generic stat package.
Vegita (Super) Anime alias: Vegeta MythicHillA TierBest for: Best Hill DPSBest Trait: Rupture / Immortal	Vegita is arguably the most important Mythic for progression because strong Hill coverage is scarce and flying waves punish Ground-only teams. With Goki in Range he gains +25% Crit Chance, while Final Stand gives +25% Damage and -15% SPA for 10 seconds after five Resolve. He is an S-tier Hill unit, but A overall because the universal list also weighs economy, support, and boss-control flexibility.

Aneko (Queen) Anime alias: Akeno MythicHill / SupportA TierBest for: Hill UtilityBest Trait: Stride	Aneko is the flexible Hill alternative: lower pure carry ceiling than Vegita, but easier to justify in mixed teams because she brings useful control alongside elevated coverage. That makes her especially valuable on maps where you need a Hill slot but do not want that slot doing only one job. Stride is the best fit for keeping her attacks and utility cycling consistently.
Shinoru (Butterfly Dance) Anime alias: Shinobu MythicSupportA TierBest for: DoT / Anti-HealBest Trait: Decay	Shinoru owns a valuable niche through Poison pressure and Wound, which can cut enemy healing by 80%. That does not matter on every stage, but when healing or regeneration is the mechanic stopping your clear, few units replace what she does. Decay is the obvious premium trait because it boosts the DoT side of her kit while also helping attack uptime.
Goki (Super 3) Anime alias: Goku MythicGroundA TierBest for: Boss OpenerBest Trait: Rupture / Ascendant	Goki is one of the better boss-focused Mythics. He deals +25% Damage to enemies above 80% HP, with the opening bonus rising to +40% against Bosses. That front-loaded pressure is especially useful when a dangerous boss needs to be chunked immediately rather than after a long ramp. Rupture is the current best-fit premium trait for his Crit-oriented damage profile, while Ascendant is excellent if you are building almost exclusively for boss content.
Konpatchi (Unleashed) Anime alias: Kenpachi MythicGroundA TierBest for: Tank / Boss KillerBest Trait: Hawkeye / Ascendant	Konpatchi has aged well as players have spent more time in tanky endgame content. His physical defense/resistance bypass and finishing pressure make him much more useful than a simple raw-DPS comparison suggests. He is especially good against durable targets that make conventional Ground carries lose efficiency, which keeps him firmly in A Tier despite heavy competition for Ground slots. Hawkeye is the current role-focused recommendation from the newer trait reference; Ascendant is the stronger alternative when boss damage is the main goal.
Melio (Assault) Anime alias: Meliodas MythicSupportA TierBest for: Flexible UtilityBest Trait: Overseer	Melio moves into A because the Absorbed Commandments kit can cover pullback, Petrification, Burn, Slow, resistance reduction, and team Damage/Range buffs. The downside is consistency: his Commandments rotate, so you cannot always demand one exact effect at one exact moment. That flexibility is still worth an A-tier slot in a general list, particularly for players who do not already own specialized supports for every job.
Yoto (Calamity) Anime alias: Yato LimitedGroundA TierBest for: Scaling DPSBest Trait: Overseer	Yoto remains a strong A-tier scaling carry because her kill growth and Severance Mark payoff become more valuable as a run gets longer. She is not as plug-and-play as the Secret carries and the Ground category is brutally crowded, but she remains a legitimate long-term investment rather than a temporary stopgap. Overseer gives her the most reliable all-mode improvement.
Mykie (Toman) Anime alias: Mikey MythicSupportA TierBest for: Team BuffBest Trait: Hawkeye / Overseer	Mykie moves into A Tier as the post-launch meta becomes clearer. Dark Impulse gives him +25% Damage and -25% Cooldown for 15 seconds every 30 seconds, so his personal uptime is much better than his early reputation suggested. His real selling point is Charismatic Leader: when used in the first team slot, units inside his Range can build up to +10% Damage from kills. That makes him a legitimate team amplifier in longer modes rather than just a secondary support. Hawkeye is the best utility-first roll for expanding the area that benefits from his support; Overseer is better if you want stronger personal performance as well.

Roxi (Mage) Anime alias: Roxy MythicHill / SupportA TierBest for: Magic SupportBest Trait: Overseer / Stride	Roxi deserves A Tier now that her role is better understood. She is one of the strongest Hill support options for Magic-focused teams rather than a generic B-tier filler. Every second attack applies Drenched, combining Slow with increased Magic Damage taken. That gives her strong lane control while directly amplifying the right carries. Overseer is the premium all-round recommendation in the latest trait references; Stride remains excellent if your priority is maximizing Drenched uptime.
Emmy (Spirit Arts) Anime alias: Emilia MythicSupportA TierBest for: Slow / Freeze ControlBest Trait: Stride / Hawkeye	Emmy is a very strong control support rather than a unit you bring for raw damage. Every attack applies Slow and Frostbite, and reaching three Frostbite stacks triggers Frostbreak for extra Magic Damage plus a much heavier Slow. The Roxi synergy is especially nasty: if the target is Drenched, Frostbreak Freezes it for 2 seconds instead. Frozen Territory then adds another 15% Slow around the shattered target for 8 seconds. The 20-second Frostbite lockout after Frostbreak and the 30-second Territory cooldown keep her out of S Tier, but she is an excellent enabler on teams that can capitalize on the extra time enemies spend in Range.
Jolius (Spirit Knight) Anime alias: Julius Juukulius MythicGround / SupportA TierBest for: Flexible UtilityBest Trait: Joker / Stride	Jolius is basically a toolbox disguised as one unit. Sixfold Spirit Art cycles through Burn, Cooldown buffs, Petrification, Bonus Magic Damage, Magic Penetration, and other effects, with every sixth attack empowering the active spirit. Spirit Combination makes the transitions matter just as much as the individual spirits: he can add AOE damage and Slow, Freeze, repeated tornado hits, True Damage setup, or a temporary +15% Damage buff depending on the pair. The downside is consistency. His best effect is not always the one you need at that exact moment, so he sits in A rather than S, but long modes give him enough time to cycle through the full kit and squeeze out a ton of value.
B Tier — Good / Specialist Units
Gyutari (Upper Moon) Anime alias: Gyutaro MythicGroundB TierBest for: Bleed / DoTBest Trait: Decay	Gyutari remains a good sustained-damage option whose Blood Cuts and Bleed pressure are especially useful in status-oriented teams. He becomes more interesting next to Valcrad because Bleed has direct value for Valcrad’s damage engine, but by himself he is a tier below the best Ground carries. Decay is the clear premium trait for the job.
Itsugo (Dangai) Anime alias: Ichigo MythicGroundB TierBest for: Long-Path DPSBest Trait: Overseer / Ascendant	Itsugo is a solid, accessible secondary carry whose damage becomes more comfortable on stages where enemies travel deeper into the path. He lacks the layered control and explosive ceiling of A-tier Mythics, but he is absolutely good enough to carry Story progression while your roster develops. Ascendant is strong if you are committed to him; Ace is a perfectly sensible stopping point if he is a bridge unit.
Zeldo (Piety) Anime alias: Zeldris MythicGroundB TierBest for: Boss SpecialistBest Trait: Ascendant	Zeldo is a straightforward boss specialist. Demon King’s Blood gives him +25% Damage and +15% Crit Chance whenever a Boss is alive. That is a useful niche, but it also explains why he falls behind more flexible units during ordinary wave clearing. Ascendant doubles down on the exact content where you should be using him.
Itsoda Anime alias: Ishida / Uryu LegendaryHillB TierBest for: Budget HillBest Trait: Ace	Itsoda is correctly treated as a Legendary budget Hill option, not a Mythic. His Range grows by 1% per idle second up to +15%, and every +5% Range adds +10% Damage up to +30%. The mechanic works best on slower Story lanes with gaps between packs and is much less comfortable when Infinite keeps him attacking constantly. Use Ace if you already have it, but do not burn premium rerolls here when Vegita is the long-term Hill target.

C Tier — Early-Game & Budget Units
Leorio Anime alias: Leorio EpicFarmC TierBest for: Budget EconomyBest Trait: Hustler / Looting	Leorio is C for combat but genuinely useful for progression. Golden Refund gives a 10% chance to refund 15% of the cost whenever a nearby unit is upgraded. Only one nearby Golden Refund attempt can proc, so stacking Leorios around the same carry wastes placements. Use him as a bridge until Bluma takes over the economy slot.
Tranko Anime alias: Trunks LegendaryGroundC TierBest for: Packed WavesBest Trait: Ace	A good early packed-wave clearer: with five or more enemies in Range, Hope Against Despair grants +15% Damage and -15% Cooldown. The passive falls off against isolated bosses, so invest only while he is genuinely one of your best Story/Infinite options.
Hido Anime alias: Hidan LegendaryGround / SupportC TierBest for: BrittleBest Trait: Ace	Builds Blood on attacks and at 10 Blood can apply Brittle to up to five enemies in Range. The ritual also penalizes his own Damage, Range, and Cooldown, which keeps a neat support effect from becoming an endgame package.
Choto Anime alias: Choso LegendaryGroundC TierBest for: Burst FillerBest Trait: Ace	Collects Blood from defeated enemies; at full Blood, the next attack gets +20% Range and +35% Damage. Useful early burst, but kill-dependent ramp and modest utility make him easy to replace once Mythics arrive.
Kengako Anime alias: Kaigaku LegendaryGroundC TierBest for: RNG DPSBest Trait: Ace	His Damage fluctuates between -10% and +30%, giving him an amusing ceiling but unreliable output. Fine for early progression; not the unit to sink scarce rerolls or evolution resources into.
Rose Anime alias: Estarossa LegendaryGroundC TierBest for: Self-BuffBest Trait: Ace	Can gain up to +40% Damage by siphoning Damage from nearby units. Hurting up to five teammates to make one Legendary stronger is a rough trade in optimized teams, so placement discipline matters.
Semanu Anime alias: Sanemi LegendaryGroundC TierBest for: Element CounterBest Trait: Ace	Deals +50% Elemental Damage inside his AOE, which makes him a legitimate matchup-based early counter pick. Outside the right elemental stages, the kit is too narrow to compete with higher-rarity all-purpose carries.
Toki Anime alias: Muichiro Tokito LegendaryGroundC TierBest for: Proc DPSBest Trait: Haste III / Ace	Every attack has a 25% chance to immediately attack again, giving Toki one of the cleaner low-rarity DPS passives. Still a progression piece rather than a long-term reroll target.
Kingo Anime alias: King LegendaryGroundC TierBest for: Magic FillerBest Trait: Ace	Adds 10% Magic Damage to every attack, which is simple and consistently useful while your roster is young. There is not enough extra utility or scaling here to justify keeping him once stronger Magic options appear.
Neli Anime alias: Nelliel LegendaryGroundC TierBest for: Budget BurstBest Trait: Ace	Weak Point can add +20% Damage to attacks, giving Neli respectable low-rarity burst. She is still a filler DPS whose resources should eventually move to a Mythic or Secret carry.
Bolthunder Anime alias: Gilthunder EpicGroundC TierBest for: Fast AttacksBest Trait: Fury III / Ace	Lightning Speed reduces Cooldown on skills, attacks, and passives by 15%, which is unusually clean value for an Epic. Good early tempo, but the base rarity ceiling keeps him in the replace-later group.
Itsumaru Anime alias: Gin Ichimaru EpicGroundC TierBest for: Long-Range DPSBest Trait: Ace	Enemies at the edge of his Range can take up to +25% Damage, rewarding careful placement on long lanes. That positioning condition is useful early but too modest to compete with evolved endgame units.
Kashi Anime alias: Kakashi EpicGround / SupportC TierBest for: Budget CCBest Trait: Haste III	A 35% chance to Stun for 1.25 seconds gives Kashi real crowd-control value for an Epic. He is one of the more useful temporary fillers if your early team has no other reliable CC.
Meywa Anime alias: Miwa EpicGround / SupportC TierBest for: BrittleBest Trait: Head Hunter	Starts with +10% Crit Chance and Crits apply Brittle for five seconds, giving her a coherent early support-DPS niche. Head Hunter is the obvious synergy if you already have it, but do not chase premium rerolls on an Epic.
Noriba Anime alias: Nobara EpicGroundC TierBest for: Single-TargetBest Trait: Haste III	Repeated hits on the same enemy add 5% Range per hit, but the bonus resets when she switches targets. That makes her more interesting into sturdier targets than trash waves, though still firmly an early-game unit.
Shanji Anime alias: Shinji EpicGroundC TierBest for: Slow SynergyBest Trait: Ace	Deals +15% Damage to enemies he has Slowed, so he needs the right team or attack effect to get full value. A workable early synergy unit, but too conditional for late-game priority.
Tango Anime alias: Tanjiro (Epic) EpicGroundC TierBest for: Crit FillerBest Trait: Head Hunter	The Epic Tango gets +20% Crit Chance and is a decent early Ground DPS. Do not confuse him with Tango (Star of Festivals), the Mythic Raid unit sitting in S Tier.

Best Anime Origins Traits

Trait	Evaluation
S Tier — Best Traits
Immortal Secret S Tier Secret chance: 0.1% Secret pool rate: 100% Pity: 1300 +200% Damage -15% Cooldown +20% Range +25% Income Placement Limit: 1	The clear jackpot trait. +200% Damage alone puts Immortal in another league before accounting for Cooldown, Range, and Income. Its special effect can instantly kill nearby non-boss enemies, while other enemies are knocked back and Slowed. It activates once per match after Wave 10. Only one unit per team can have Immortal, but if you roll it on a premium carry, you're probably done rerolling that unit for a very long time.
Overseer Mythic S Tier Mythic chance: 4.05% Mythic pool rate: 4.1% Pity: 900 +20% Damage -5% Cooldown +10% Range +30% bonus True Damage	The strongest conventional Mythic trait for a general DPS carry. You get Damage, Cooldown, and Range with no downside, plus bonus True Damage equal to 30% of damage dealt. Overseer doesn't require a specific build or mechanic to work, which makes it one of the safest best-in-slot rolls in the game.
Rupture Mythic S Tier Mythic chance: 4.05% Mythic pool rate: 12.5% Pity: 550 +30% Crit Chance +35% Crit Damage	An absurd offensive roll for units that can make good use of Crit. +30% Crit Chance dramatically improves consistency, while +35% Crit Damage pushes the payoff even further. It loses some universal value on units whose kits don't care about Crit, but on the right carry Rupture has legitimate best-in-slot potential.
Decay Mythic S Tier Mythic chance: 4.05% Mythic pool rate: 16.5% Pity: 425 +40% DoT Damage -10% Cooldown +10% Range	Potentially the premier trait for Bleed, Burn, Poison, or other DoT-focused units. Even before the huge +40% DoT bonus matters, -10% Cooldown and +10% Range are excellent general stats. It's more specialized than Overseer, but the right unit can squeeze enormous value out of all three bonuses.
Ascendant Mythic S Tier Mythic chance: 4.05% Mythic pool rate: 19% Pity: 325 +35% Boss Damage +10% Damage +10% Range	A fantastic boss-killing trait thanks to its massive +35% Boss Damage bonus on top of +10% regular Damage. The additional Range makes it even easier for your carry to stay on bosses for longer portions of the map. It isn't as dominant during ordinary wave clearing, but for boss-focused content Ascendant can be one of the best traits available.
A Tier — Excellent Traits
Hustler Mythic A Tier Mythic chance: 4.05% Mythic pool rate: 22% Pity: — +15% Range +30% Income	The obvious premium economy trait and potentially S tier on dedicated farm units. +30% Income is the main attraction, while +15% Range is a useful bonus rather than dead weight. Don't waste its potential on a pure DPS unit if you have an economy unit that can actually exploit the Income bonus.
Stride Mythic A Tier Mythic chance: 4.05% Mythic pool rate: 14.5% Pity: 475 -10% Damage -10% Cooldown +5% Range Tempo: -2% Cooldown per stack, up to -20% Max Tempo: +10% Range Tempo resets after 5 seconds without attacking.	Stride trades some raw Damage for potentially ridiculous attack frequency once Tempo gets rolling. At full stacks, the additional -20% Cooldown combines with its base -10%, making this extremely attractive on units that attack continuously. Its weakness is downtime: if the unit goes five seconds without attacking, Tempo disappears and you have to build it again.
Joker Mythic A Tier Mythic chance: 4.05% Mythic pool rate: 11.4% Pity: 700 +5% Damage -5% Cooldown +5% Range Every wave, each stat receives a random 0%-25% modifier. Wave modifiers do not carry over.	Joker has excellent upside but sacrifices consistency for it. The baseline Damage, Cooldown, and Range bonuses are already useful, then every wave can randomly push the unit much further. Strong enough to keep, but the RNG factor makes it harder to rank alongside the completely reliable top Mythics.
Ace Legendary A Tier Legendary chance: 9% Legendary pool rate: 20% +10% Damage -5% Cooldown +10% Range	Probably the best general-purpose Legendary trait. All three bonuses matter on almost every conventional DPS unit, with no gimmicks or requirements attached. A great stopping point if you don't want to burn hundreds of rerolls chasing a Mythic.
Nimble Legendary A Tier Legendary chance: 9% Legendary pool rate: 18.5% -20% Cooldown	A simple trait, but -20% Cooldown is an enormous single-stat improvement. Particularly strong on units whose damage, status effects, or passives scale directly with attack frequency. It lacks Ace's rounded stat package, but the raw Cooldown reduction can easily be more valuable on the right carry.

Head Hunter Epic A Tier Epic chance: 30% Epic pool rate: 25% +20% Crit Chance +25% Crit Damage	Basically a budget Rupture, and that's a pretty good thing to be. The combination of Crit Chance and Crit Damage can outperform many straightforward stat traits on Crit-friendly units. For an Epic trait, Head Hunter offers remarkably strong offensive value.
Looting Legendary A Tier Legendary chance: 9% Legendary pool rate: 11.5% +20% Income	A specialized economy trait that becomes extremely valuable when rolled on a unit whose job is making money. It's essentially the budget version of Hustler, trading Hustler's +30% Income and Range for a still-impressive +20% Income. On a normal DPS unit, however, you should usually reroll it.
B Tier — Strong & Situational
Hawkeye Legendary B Tier Legendary chance: 9% Legendary pool rate: 25% +30% Range	+30% Range is massive and can dramatically improve map coverage and effective uptime. The problem is that Hawkeye provides no direct Damage or Cooldown improvement. Great on units where coverage matters, but less attractive than offensive Legendary options for a primary carry.
Haste III Epic B Tier Epic chance: 30% Epic pool rate: 25% -12.5% Cooldown	A strong universally useful Epic roll. More attacks generally means more DPS and more frequent passive or status activations. It's basically Nimble-lite and perfectly usable until you're ready to chase something rarer.
Fury III Epic B Tier Epic chance: 30% Epic pool rate: 25% +15% Damage	No tricks here: Fury III simply gives you 15% more Damage. Reliable and useful on almost any offensive unit, especially early in progression. Good enough to keep temporarily, but Mythic and Legendary traits offer much higher ceilings.
Reach III Epic B Tier Epic chance: 30% Epic pool rate: 25% +15% Range	A respectable Range boost that helps units cover more of the lane and attack for longer. Its value depends heavily on the map and the unit's starting Range. Useful, but generally less impactful than direct offensive traits.
Scholar Legendary B Tier Legendary chance: 9% Legendary pool rate: 25% +50% EXP	Scholar is excellent for progression rather than actual combat performance. +50% EXP can save a lot of grinding while leveling units, so there is real utility here. Once a unit is leveled and you're optimizing the endgame, Scholar becomes an obvious reroll candidate.
C Tier — Usable Early Rolls
Haste II Rare C Tier Rare chance: 50% Rare pool rate: 7.33% -7.5% Cooldown	A useful early Cooldown roll, but ultimately just a stepping stone toward Haste III, Nimble, or one of the premium Mythics.
Fury II Rare C Tier Rare chance: 50% Rare pool rate: 7.33% +10% Damage	A perfectly respectable temporary Damage boost, but there are too many stronger offensive options to settle for it long term.
Reach II Rare C Tier Rare chance: 50% Rare pool rate: 7.34% +10% Range	A modest Range increase that can help awkward placements, but it lacks the impact needed for a serious endgame trait.
D Tier — Reroll
Haste I Rare D Tier Rare chance: 50% Rare pool rate: 26% -5% Cooldown	Better than having nothing, but -5% Cooldown is far too small to justify keeping once you have rerolls available.
Fury I Rare D Tier Rare chance: 50% Rare pool rate: 26% +5% Damage	A tiny Damage bump that's fine on your first few units but should be replaced as soon as you're seriously optimizing a build.
Reach I Rare D Tier Rare chance: 50% Rare pool rate: 26% +5% Range	The weakest Range roll in the pool. It technically helps, but there is almost never a reason to intentionally keep it.

Best Anime Origins Team Comps

Building a strong team in Anime Origins is about more than simply throwing your highest-tier units together. You still need a good balance of damage, crowd control, economy, support, and coverage for tougher enemies and flying waves, so the best lineup can change depending on the mode you’re playing. Below, I’ve put together several of the best Anime Origins team comps for general progression, Raids and bosses, Infinite runs, and players who are still building toward the top Secret units.

Best Overall Team

Safest six-unit comp for mixed endgame content.

Best Overall

Madaro (Edo Tensei)

Carry

Cursed Lover (Pure Love)

Flexible

Valcrad (Unleashed)

Boss

Goju (Honored One)

Control

Bon (Purgatory)

Support

Bluma (Data Analyst)

Farm

This is the most complete endgame lineup: Madaro handles waves, Valcrad shreds and controls bosses, and Cursed Lover adds absurd flexibility through Copy.
Goju gives the team elite crowd control, while Bon adds buffs, Hybrid coverage, and extra economy without wasting a slot on a pure support.
Bluma completes the engine by funding expensive upgrades. In long content, getting the other five units online earlier is often worth more than adding a sixth damage dealer.

Best Raid & Boss Team

Maximum boss pressure, stun windows, and burst damage.

Bossing

Valcrad (Unleashed)

Boss

Madaro (Edo Tensei)

Burst

Goki (Super 3)

Boss DPS

Tango (Star of Festivals)

Brittle / CC

Goju (Honored One)

Control

Bon (Purgatory)

Support

Valcrad is the centerpiece because Coffin Trap gives you a huge boss-control window, while Madaro can dump Heaven Splitter into that opening for massive burst.
Goki is excellent at front-loading damage into healthy bosses, and Tango adds Brittle plus another long Stun so the team can chain control instead of simply face-tanking mechanics.
Goju extends those safe damage windows even further, while Bon buffs the carries and gives enough utility that you can comfortably skip a dedicated farm slot in shorter Raid runs.

Best Infinite Team

Economy, scaling, AOE, and flyer coverage for long runs.

Infinite

Madaro (Edo Tensei)

AOE Carry

Cursed Lover (Pure Love)

Bon (Purgatory)

Buffs

Bluma (Data Analyst)

Farm

Vegita (Super)

Hill

Infinite rewards units that keep gaining value as the run stretches out, which is exactly where Madaro, Cursed Lover, Bon, and Bluma shine.
Bluma's economy matters more here than almost anywhere else, while Tango keeps dangerous late waves under control and improves team damage through Brittle.
Vegita is the dedicated Hill answer for flying enemies. Madaro and Bon already add flexible coverage, but having a true high-end Hill DPS makes the lineup much safer on mixed-wave maps.

Best No-Secret Team

A realistic endgame lineup before you land the Secret carries.

No Secrets

Igritto (Commander)

Carry

Tango (Star of Festivals)

DPS / CC

Vegita (Super)

Hill

Goju (Honored One)

Control

Bon (Purgatory)

Support

Bluma (Data Analyst)

Farm

This is the lineup I would aim for before treating Secret units as mandatory. Igritto and Tango give you enough real endgame damage to clear difficult content without Madaro, Cursed Lover, or Valcrad.
Vegita solves flyer coverage, Goju gives elite control, and Bon contributes buffs plus extra flexibility instead of forcing the team to run another pure DPS.
Bluma makes the whole composition much easier to afford. Once you pull a Secret, the cleanest upgrade path is usually replacing Igritto first with Madaro or Cursed Lover, depending on what your account needs.
