Anime Rangers X is not your standard tower defense game. Here, you summon units instead of placing down towers, and then they fight enemies for you. This adds a lot more complexity to the game, making unit choices that much more important. To help you with creating the perfect unit roster in ARX, here is our ultimate Anime Rangers X units tier list!
Anime Rangers X (ARX) Units Tier List

In the tier list above, we ranked all units in Anime Rangers X from best to worst based on their overall power across all game modes (Infinite Tower, Raids, Boss Rush, etc.). Generally, evolved units are better than all others of the same rarity (Evo Epic > Base Legendary), and they are almost all at the top of the tier list.
However, some units are good for the early game because of their low, making them a viable choice if you already have enough DPSs and tanks in your roster. More info on each unit's pros and cons will be below (we will add it soon). Also, we won't cover the pros/cons of Epic and Rare units, as they are really only useful if you can evolve them. Combat-wise, they are useless for anything but the first few Story stages.

- Utility: If a unit slows, stuns, burns, or provides some other form of utility.
- Targeting Type & Element: Targeting Type (ground/air/hybrid) and Element are especially important for Infinite Castle, Raids, and other end-game content.
- Spawn & Upgrade Costs: Spawn and Upgrade Costs are important only in the very early game before you upgrade your stats.
