ARX (Re:Rangers X, formerly known as 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, here is our ultimate Re:Rangers X units tier list!

In the tier list above, we ranked all units in Re:Rangers X (formerly known as Anime Rangers X), from best to worst based on their overall performance across all game modes (Story, Raids, Challenges, etc.). Generally, higher-rarity and evolved units are the best. However, some units have cheap upgrades, high utility, or other features that make them worth considering. We've covered all that in the analysis section below, so do check that out.
Note: This tier list is a work-in-progress. As we test more unevo and evo units, the rankings will shift accordingly. Make sure you check back later, especially whenever an Re:Rangers X update drops.
Re:Rangers X Units Tier List Ranking Factors
- DPS: SPA (attack cooldown), Damage, Ability Damage, and Ability SPA (ability cooldown) affect unit DPS. Having high DPS is important for fast stage clears and also for some bosses that can heal (Easter Bunny, etc.).
- Tankiness/Speed: Evade Rate, Skill Resistance, and HP make a unit more tanky and a better frontline. Plus, the faster it is, the quicker it'll get into melee and start tanking.
- Utility/Passives: If a unit slows, stuns, burns, heals, or provides some other form of utility, it can be extremely helpful against some bosses/enemies.
- Spawn Cost: Spawn costs are extremely important, especially for tank units that die often; that's why you want them to be as low as possible. For one-placement units, though, placement costs aren't that important.
- Upgrade Cost: Until you max out your player stats (max money and money generation), some upgrades will be unattainable. Also, the quicker you can max out a unit, the sooner you'll start doing serious DPS.
- Ultimate Skills: Some units like Cursed Love, Solar Fist, and King Curses gain Ultimate Skills when max upgraded. You have to cast these skills manually, and they can massively help you with the stage clear.
- Element: Elements are especially important for Events, Raids, and other end-game content. With an elemental advantage, units will deal 2x damage. Check out the elements chart to see which elements counter which.
