Note that this Anime Paradox tier list assumes all units are in their EVO versions (with every EVO passive and active ability unlocked) and properly leveled and equipped with the best Mythic traits in Anime Paradox. Also note that some of these units don’t perform well in a vacuum and require proper team comps and setups to reach their full potential.

S+ Tier DPS Units - META & OP

These are by far the strongest units in Anime Paradox right now, rightfully earning the top spot in my Anime Paradox tier list. You should invest both time and resources into leveling and evolving these units, as they currently define the meta. If you manage to pull them, you’re one lucky person.

Unit	Pros & Cons
Arimo Kajuka / Arima SECRET Best Trait: Vampiric/Eternal	Pros: • Excellent scaling passive, as he gains damage, range, and faster SPA for every allied unit placed. • Strong burst potential thanks to Commanding Strike, which can deal double damage and apply a vulnerability debuff. • Versatile combat options through Quinque Mastery, allowing access to multiple attack styles. Cons: • Relies heavily on team setup to fully benefit from his scaling passive.
Kanbeki Kajuka / Kaneki SECRET Best Trait: Vampiric/Eternal	Pros: • Strong counter mechanic through Predator Adaptation, allowing him to retaliate after taking hits. • Good synergy with duplicate units thanks to Cannibalistic Team, boosting damage and movement speed. • Extra damage against bleeding enemies, making him stronger in teams that apply bleed effects. Cons: • Requires specific conditions (taking hits or bleeding) to fully maximize his damage potential.
Amon EVO / Amun MYTHIC Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Strong anti-boss utility, taking reduced damage from bosses and dealing increased damage to them. • Excellent survivability thanks to Armor Protocol, which steadily increases his max HP over time. • Team utility with Boss Suppression, slowing enemies in his range when a boss appears. Cons: • Much of his strength is boss-focused, making him less impactful in regular enemy waves.
Death Reaper (Souls) / Hades SECRET Best Trait: Vampiric/Eternal	Pros: • Vitals Shackle HP loss is negligible compared to the insane, permanent DPS gain (+35% Damage and 20% SPA reduction) right from the get-go. • All three Attack Moves deal insane damage on a relatively short cooldown, making him a consistent DPS machine. • Strong survivability (Divine Physiology and Indomitable Will) makes him extremely durable and reliable for longer fights and difficult stages. Cons: • Requires taking damage to fully activate its strongest buffs.
Monkey King (Crowned) / Wukong SECRET Best Trait: Vampiric/Eternal	Pros: • Strong survivability thanks to Combat Instinct, allowing him to dodge attacks and retaliate automatically • Elixir of Life provides steady sustain by healing him after kills, helping him stay alive in longer fights. • Gains a versatile moveset after evolution with three different attack abilities. Cons: • Combat Instinct can occasionally fail, stunning him for two seconds and briefly leaving him vulnerable.
Qun Sha Buang (Awakened) / Qin Shi Huang SECRET Best Trait: Vampiric/Eternal	Pros: • Qi Breath provides consistent and reliable CC through 25% slow and 20% damage increase on every sixth attack. • Emperor’s Sight greatly boosts critical chance, allowing for strong burst damage windows. • First Emperor's Sword is a phenomelan anti-boss tech ability, providing a reliable 250% burst damage on demand. Cons: • Emperor’s Sight drains his HP over time, requiring careful timing to avoid unnecessary health loss.
Bumta (True Love) / Yuta SECRET Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Exceptionally high base DPS. • Bumta's Boundless Reserves passive is incredibly easy to stack, adding a bonus of up to 40% extra damage on top of his already high base damage. • The Copy Technique passive is solid in every situation, but especially good as anti-boss tech, with a Damage Reduction debuff and what is essentially a guaranteed critical on every 7th attack. And thanks to Bumta's fast attack speed, it will proc constantly, making it very reliable. • Queen's Protection (Bumta's EVO passive) is one of the clutchest abilities in the game. It basically halves the damage he takes when low on health, and it has a really short cooldown, making it an exceptionally strong survivability passive.
Sakuno (Curse King) / Sukana SECRET Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Sakuno’s Energy Flow requires proper timing, but when triggered correctly, it can be devastating in terms of raw damage. • Malevolent Decree (EVO ability) is what makes Sakuno an absolute beast in the current meta. It applies 30% of damage as Bleed on every ability (Sakuno has four active abilities) and has a 1-in-4 chance to cast Dismemberment on affected units. IMHO, this is a meta-defining passive right now. Cons: • The Black Sparks passive is very strong but highly inconsistent, as it only has a 5% proc chance.
Megumo (Ten Shadows) / Megumi PARADOX Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Shadow Efficiency is a simple but very strong damage buff that can be essentially permanent if you stack it properly. • Megumo becomes a DPS freak once the unit enters the Chimera Sovereign. And, given the short cooldown, that will be 50% of the time. • The Domain Refinement passive is exceptionally strong as anti-boss tech. It not only deals massive damage but also significantly reduces the target’s damage output for 6 seconds (20% reduction). • Megumo's active ability summons General Moharoga, who is an insanely powerful unit on his own, deals a lot of damage, and has his own set of powerful passives. Cons: • A fairly simple unit focused purely on DPS, without offering any notable utility.
Zid (Atomic) / Cid MYTHIC Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • The All Range Atomic active ability is by far the best global AoE in the game, unleashing a devastating 50% damage burst across the whole map. It has a long cooldown (120 seconds), but that's completely justified. • The Atomic Blades passive is absolutely insane, as it deals a massive 300% damage AoE (Atomic Maelstrom) around him every 25 seconds. • Who is Running? is yet another ridiculously overpowered passive, which is not only great anti-boss tech but also another powerful global AoE (300% damage against all enemies on the map). • As if his insane AoE capabilities weren't good enough, he also has an excellent base DPS boost in the form of Eminence Stacks, which are relatively easy to collect, making not only his base attack stronger but also all of his AoE abilities, which are based on a percentage of his base attack. Cons: • Long cooldowns, but they are justified by the sheer power of his abilities. • It takes a bit of time for his true power to come online.
Storrk (Resurreccion) / Starrk PARADOX Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • His Number One passive turns him into a dedicated "I work alone" solo carry by giving him OP buffs when he’s out of range of other friendly units. • It’s a summoner unit, and summoners tend to be meta in Roblox tower defense games, and it’s no different in Anime Paradox. His wolves are broken. • Storrk EVO is a must, as it adds the Howl of Ruin passive, doubling the number of summoned Wolves. Cons: • The rarest unit in the game, extremely hard to obtain.

S Tier DPS Units

Almost as strong as the S+ units, but not quite. Nevertheless, these are all excellent picks for any team comp, offering everything you’d want from a strong DPS, from great raw damage and excellent scaling to solid wave clear, boss damage, combo potential, and more.

Unit	Pros & Cons
Sea God (Storm) / Poseidon MYTHIC Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Gains additional +25% damage when he is the strongest unit within his range. • Rage Mode provides extra mobility and cooldown reduction when low on HP, increasing damage uptime. • Strong damage against regular enemies thanks to Unworthy Existence (+30% damage to non-bosses). Cons: • Active ability Medusa Demeter – The Sea Blessed You is currently bugged, limiting his full potential.
The Hollow (Flames) / Buddha MYTHIC Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Strong self-sustain thanks to Invincible Shinobi, regenerating 20% HP every 30 seconds. • Gains up to +40% damage during combat through Fire Monk, which scales great in the late game. Cons: • Needs time to fully stack his damage passive, making him weaker at the start of fights.
The Honored One (Blessed) MYTHIC Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Strong defensive utility with Lotus Shield, granting nearby allies 25% damage reduction. • Good survivability thanks to a 25% chance to completely block incoming attacks. • Meditative State buff can significantly increase his damage and max HP when completed. • Multiple attack moves after evolution (Staff Hit, Death Reap, Excalibur) improve offensive versatility. Cons: • Meditative State temporarily stops him from attacking, which can lower DPS if interrupted or poorly timed.
Juzu EVO / Juuzo MYTHIC Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Reliable critical strikes thanks to his base 10% crit chance from Unhinged Precision. • Consistent bleed debuff through Relentless Carving, allowing him to steadily chip away at enemies. • Strong crit synergy with Reaper’s Hemorrhage, increasing critical damage against bleeding targets. Cons: • Damage potential depends heavily on bleed and crit interactions, making him less effective without proper uptime.
Maeto (True Form) / Mahito SECRET Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • The Idle Transfiguration passive is very similar to Bumta's Copy Technique, but it procs even faster, and more importantly, it can theoretically stack (depending on the attack speed). • Maeto's Soul Manipulation works great as a finisher, and it pairs well with some AoE-based units to clear up the wave after another unit has cut into their HP. Cons: • Maeto's kit is kinda basic for a secret unit. • A few more passive and active abilities would make him a more interesting and overall stronger unit.
Ichuga (Vasto Lorde) / Ichigo SECRET Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Vizard's Surge makes him a sustainability powerhouse that will refuse to die. • Getshuga Bleed applies perma-Bleed on attacks, melting units in the process. • Insane DPS. Cons: • Lacks good AoE
Sun Jin Wu (Monarch) / SJW SECRET Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • SJW's Level Up passive is the best scaling ability in the game, making him a monster unit as the game progresses. • Monarch's Will is a phenomenal self-heal passive that scales in the late game thanks to the Level Up synergy.
Igrus (Elite Knight) / Igris SECRET Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Undead Commander is quite easy on-kill stacking passive, granting up to 100% bonus damage. • Has strong synergy with SJW, as it receives buffs (damage and cooldown reduction) when both units are placed on the map. Cons: • Not as good without SJW in the team comp.
Joegu (Volcanic) MYTHIC Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Volcanic Atmosphere is a surprisingly effective passive, especially in clutch situations. • Ember Growth synergizes nicely with his abilities. Cons: • His passives simply aren't as effective and impactful.
Getu (Parade) / Geto MYTHIC Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Getu has been buffed significantly in Anime Paradox Update 1.5 across all of his base stats. • The Curse Collector is a great two-in-one ability, acting as both strong offense and defense when things start going south. Defeat enemies, deal increased damage, heal, and then repeat. • The Supreme Curse Manipulation is, in my opinion, the bread and butter of his kit. It's his EVO passive, which creates a permanent damage debuff area around him and basically grants a permanent 20% damage buff, with a relatively easy-to-maintain requirement. • He has four unique attack moves (more than many units above him in this tier list), making him a very versatile unit. Cons: • Getu still lacks some good burst damage options. As it stands, most of his abilities are sustained damage rather than proper nukes and wave clears.
Chaso (Blood Bath) / Choso MYTHIC Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Chaso's Crimson Defense is a slightly weaker but more reliable version of Bumta's Queen's Protection, as its trigger condition is easier, it lasts longer, and it has a shorter cooldown. • The Blood Resonance passive might seem weak on paper, but it's reliable and easy to stack on multiple units quickly, making it a reliable source of additional damage on every fifth attack. Cons: • His base attack and DPS in general are rather weak. • He is simply outclassed by higher-tier units.
Tuji (Heavenly Pact) / Toji MYTHIC Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Tuji's Sorcerer Slayer passive is unique in that it directly punishes buffed units, and it can be devastating in the right circumstances. • The Heavenly Restriction passive is a solid defensive-offensive two-in-one combo, it's 40% bonus damage on every fourth attack is both reliable and strong • His second and third attack moves (Flash Step and Heavenly Slash) are great. Cons: • Sorcerer Slayer is way too situational and often sits dead with no effect on the situation whatsoever. • The same goes for the first part of Heavenly Restriction - it will rarely come into play. • Overall weak base stats compared to stronger meta units.

A Tier DPS Units

Solid picks that will help you grind late-game challenges, but you won’t have it as easy as you would with S- or S+-tier units in your team comp. Still, these are great units, so don’t feel bad if you pull them from summoning. You should absolutely use them until you get something better. Some of them are also very fun to play, which counts for a lot (after all, we play to have fun, right?).

Unit	Pros & Cons
Kasheemu (Electric) / Kashimo MYTHIC Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Static Pressure is easy to stack and maintain, providing a pseudo-permanent base attack damage. • Electric Dash, Lightning Field, and Staff Throw are all solid attack moves. Cons: • Lightning Discharge is simply a weaker version of Tuji's Heavenly Restriction. Tuji already has around 25% higher base damage, and his passive procs on every fourth attack, has a higher damage percentage (40% versus 35%), and comes with an extra ability on top of it. • Weak base stats.
Brolu (Super) MYTHIC Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • A DPS machine that can stack damage infinitely. • Brolu's Legendary Rage stacks and can quickly spiral out of control if maintained. • Unstable Power's total damage buff goes to 400% bonus damage (and more), which is insane. Cons: • Doesn't bring any utility to the table. • Unstable Power's cooldown is a bit too long. • Requires a lot of setup.
Kirrua (Goodspeed) MYTHIC Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • The Godspeed passive can be maintained indefinitely, giving the unit a perma +35% bonus on attack damage and +20% Cooldown Reduction. • The Electric Surge passive makes Kirrua a CC powerhouse. • Can work as a great support unit as well. Cons: • Not as good base damage.
Sky (Enhanced) EXCLUSIVE Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Limit Break takes time to go online, but it provides solid damage and CDR buffs once the meter reaches 100%. • Limit Resonance cuts Limit Break requirements by half, making it much more reliable and consistent. Cons: • Sky feels like a one-trick pony, while neither providing top-tier DPS nor any utility.
Freezo (Full Power) MYTHIC Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • It gets a flat 60% damage bonus without any requirements. • Solid AoE damage. Cons: • Weak base damage and long cooldowns.
Bacardi Gambler MYTHIC Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Fever Rush is a really solid buff when it procks. Its 20% bonus to both Damage and Attack Speed is a massive DPS boost. Cons: • Far too RNG-reliant (which, I guess, is on-theme for a unit whose EVO nickname is Gambler), making it unreliable and inconsistent.
Ohmu EXCLUSIVE Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Advance: Demonsbane is a massive buff to bot Ohmu's abilities and DPS. Cons: • Heart Overdrive looks great on paper, but it requires far too much setup to be truly reliable. In a game where you don't have much control over units, making it go below and above 60% Helath 10 times (for max value), is far from easily achievable. Good in infinitive moods, I guess.

B Tier DPS Units

Nice and mostly simple, you'll have fun playing with them, and they will carry you through most of mid and late game challenges, albeit not as easily as some stronger units.

Unit	Pros & Cons
Eryu (Antithesis) MYTHIC Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • The Energy Manipulation passive has nice synergy with itself (a buff based on range that improves range and base damage). • The Antithesis passive makes Eryu a boss-destroying machine. Cons: • Long cooldown on Energy Manipulation. • Not as useful in non-boss fights. • Weak DPS in general.
Itochi (Eternal Flame) MYTHIC Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Tsukuyomi's Omen is basically permanent. • The Crow Escape passive can come in insanely clutch in tight situations and often prevents Itochi’s demise. Cons: • Itochi lacks any good wave-clearing.
Melio (Wrath) MYTHIC Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Cursed Flame is probably the best DoT skill in Anime Paradox right now. • The Demon Wrath is a nice "one final hurrah" passive. Cons: • The Demon Wrath is too situational.
Seth (One-Winged) EXCLUSIVE Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • A berserker-type unit that gains massive buffs when its health drops below 40%. • Memory of the Ancients is a nice "free" skill. Cons: • Too situational • One-Winged Angel is limited to once per wave.

D Tier DPS Units

Unit	Pros & Cons
Megomun (Explosion) EXCLUSIVE Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Explosion Arcana is one of the best AoE spells in Anime Paradox, capable of clearing most regular mobs. • Phenomenal early-game wave-clearing for starter team comps. • Solid Burn DoT damage. Cons: • Volatile Mana is a risky glass-cannon passive; I'm not sure about its value because it comes right after she casts Explosion Arcana. • Low base damage.
Ciel (SUPER) MYTHIC Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Solid overall passives that make him a reliable unit (Perfect Evolution stacks are relatively easy to get quickly and get Perfect Form online). Cons: • Kinda boring abilities, not suitable for late-game challenges.
Chae-In (Light) MYTHIC Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • Her Speed of Light gives nice, reliable damage and CDR bonuses. Cons: • The weakest mythic unit in the game.
Natsu EVO EXCLUSIVE Best Trait: Eternal	Pros: • A very solid Anime Paradox starter unit, as it’s quite easy to obtain during the Valentine’s event. • Dragon Slayer is a reliable and easy-to-proc passive that can deal serious damage when timed correctly, on top of providing solid healing and a short cooldown. • Brilliant Flames is a great AoE passive that can reliably clear weaker waves. Cons: • The base stats are quite weak, which makes it harder for Natsu’s passive to truly shine, as all of its bonuses are percentage-based off the unit’s current attack damage.

Best Support Units in Anime Paradox

In my view, support units play a far more impactful role in Anime Paradox than they do in most other popular Roblox tower defense games, largely because of how the game is structured. Anime Paradox doesn’t follow the traditional lane format where enemies spawn at point A and march toward point B along a single path. Instead, your base sits at the center of the map, with enemies spawning in a full circle around it. Because of this unique setup, support units become incredibly valuable. With that in mind, here’s my Anime Paradox Support Units Tier List.

S+ Tier Support & Farm Units - META & OP

The absolute powerhouse when it comes to support units in Anime Paradox. You need to have at least two of these in your current team comps if you want to beat the hardest challenges in the game. Bulla is the best farming unit in the game, so she’s a must, but you should also add either Orehime or Idol to your comp as a go-to support unit. It’s up to you which unit best fits your playstyle.

UNIT	Pros & Cons
Executioner (Awakened) / Sagiri MYTHIC	Pros: • A simple but extremely strong support unit, thanks to the combination of reliable healing and crowd control that is unconditional and has short cooldowns. • Conviction provides constant team sustain by healing nearby allies, greatly improving frontline survivability. • Stillness adds reliable crowd control by periodically stunning enemies, helping slow down dangerous waves. • Excellent utility in difficult stages. Cons: • Provides little direct damage.
Brojo (Six Eyes) SECRET	Pros: • The Infinity active ability is currently the single strongest support ability in Anime Paradox. It’s one of those active abilities that can completely turn the tide of a match and save you in countless situations. Even the long cooldown (120 seconds) isn’t an issue, because the ability is just that good. • The Honored One grants permanent immunity to all crowd-control effects, which is honestly insane in terms of how strong it is.
Idol (Pop) MYTHIC	Pros: • The Hype Overdrive passive is by far the best support ability in the game, both in terms of sustainability and damage. Cons: • Encore on the EVO (Pop) version of the unit basically makes Hype Overdrive a permanent buff.
Oreheme (Sacred) MYTHIC	Pros: • Oreheme is the best pure healing (defensive) support in Anime Paradox. • The Shun Shun Rikka passive is currently the best self-sustaining passive in the game, providing both healing and protection to Oreheme. • Sacred Support provides reliable team healing and ensures nothing goes to waste, as any overheal is converted into a hefty 30% damage buff for the overhealed unit.
Bulla LEGENDARY	Pros: • The best farming unit in the game.

S Tier Support & Farm Units

These are perfectly fine in any team comp, and they offer some really strong utility that can be extremely useful in certain niche situations. That said, they don’t really stand a chance against the aforementioned S+ tier support units. It’s not a mistake to include them in your team comps, but there are currently clearly better choices.

Unit	Pros & Cons
Shadow Vampire EXCLUSIVE	Pros: • His active Time Stop ability is absolutely phenomenal. It is a global AoE CC effect that completely freezes all enemy units for a period of time. Cons: • While it is an S++ tier unit when it comes to utility, it doesn’t bring much else to the table in the DPS and buff/healing departments.
Ulquiarro (Murcielago) MYTHIC	Pros: • Echoes of Emptiness is a phenomenal CC spell, applying Fear to all enemies on every 8th takedown. • Ulquiarro is the best slowing unit in the game, as Echoes of Emptiness's 40% slow can save your core in clutch situations. • High-Speed Regeneration is a much-needed self-healing ability on a support unit. Cons: • Low base damage.
Sprintcart EPIC	Pros: • You know the drill already - if there’s an Anime Roblox tower defense game, there will be a version of Speedwagon as the go-to farm unit. You cannot play without a farm unit in any team comp. Cons: • Unfortunately for our friend here, Bulla is a better farm unit, and you can not play two of them.
Akiko (EVO) EXCLUSIVE	Pros: • Cons: •

A Tier Support Units

Even though these units sit at the bottom of my Anime Paradox Support Tier List, that doesn’t automatically make them bad. In fact, there aren’t any truly unplayable units in Anime Paradox right now. Every character has some level of viability depending on how you want to play.

That said, viability isn’t the same as efficiency. These supports are simply overshadowed by stronger, more optimized options that provide better utility or overall team impact. You can absolutely use them if you enjoy their kit or playstyle, but from a pure meta perspective, they struggle to compete in high-end content. Unless future balance changes shift the power hierarchy, they’re unlikely to see consistent use in serious endgame challenges.

Unit	Pros & Cons
Steel (Shadow) MYTHIC	Pros: • The Protector is a very strong proactive support ability, as completely neutralizing two enemy hits on all allies every 20 seconds is nothing to scoff at. • Guardian Sight is a great tech passive for when you want to play risky builds with squishy frontliners that can dish out a lot of damage but are often at risk of dying. Cons: • It simply doesn’t fit into the current meta, but it is definitely not a bad unit. Feel free to experiment with him.
Asto (Devil) MYTHIC	Pros: • Anti-Magic Flow is the only anti-shield ability in the game, making it quite useful in specific situations. • Null Slash is the best debuffing ability in Anime Paradox. Cons: • Way too situational and reactive. It doesn’t provide any immediate support. • Good only as a niche tech unit to counter specific mobs.
