Anime Vanguards is the biggest threat to Anime Defenders, as it has similar visuals and mechanics but also some clever improvements. One of them is the passive ability that each character has, which made creating the Anime Vanguards units tier list more challenging.

All Units Ranked in Anime Vanguards - Tier List
As you may have noticed, the best units in Anime Vanguards are evolved ones. But, thanks to more complex characters and their passives, even some B-tier units can be useful in certain situations (mostly in Story mode).
Anime Vanguards' raid mode, introduced in Slayer's Corp update 0.5, opened even more tactical options, including new units, and evolution items. With the arrival of Update 1, a huge collection of secret Evo units was added.
Updates 1.1, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0, and 3.0 also added several new units, including Johnni, Giro, Valentine, Diogo, Divalo, Saiko, Okorun, Pweeny, Sukuno, and Gujo, along with several secret and evolution units.
Therefore, don't sell your units too fast if you don't like their rarity, as some of them can be quite strong. To get more units you'll need Gems, and the best way is via Anime Vanguards codes.
