Anime Zero Tier List – Best Weapon & Accessory [Soler Radiance]

Updated on October 18, 2026 for Update 4: Crimson Eclipse and Solar Radiance join the top tier. Refreshed the build recommendations, Astral Blossom's support rotation, weapon traits, evolution materials, and Tidal High Rise farming advice following the latest balance patches.

Looking for the best weapons in Anime Zero Update 4? Crimson Eclipse, Ye-0, Solar Radiance, and Astral Blossom lead our rankings, with Astral Blossom especially valuable in your second slot. This Anime Zero tier list covers all 20 weapons, plus the traits, accessories, pairings, and upgrades that help turn a strong character into a complete build.

Anime Zero Update 4 Character Tier List

In Anime Zero, weapons are the combat kits you control, also called units, characters, or classes. Equip two weapons and switch between them during a run. These rankings cover general PvE progression, including raids, Trials, and farming. Compare weapons at similar evolution and upgrade levels: a developed A-tier kit can be more useful immediately than a newly unlocked S-tier weapon.

Why These Weapons Rank Highest

Crimson Eclipse, Ye-0, Solar Radiance, and Astral Blossom make up S tier. Crimson Eclipse is the leading damage investment, combining twin blades, giant shears, and a steerable scissor ride, with a further ultimate buff after Update 4. Ye-0 brings a reworked six-hit M1 combo and protection during basic attacks. Solar Radiance is another top sword option, and her ultimate now triggers the Triple Ult. Astral Blossom earns her place through support that strengthens both weapon slots, making her particularly valuable alongside your main damage kit.

Inferno Prince, Silver Calamity, and Shadow Monarch sit in A tier. Rin's blue-flame kit and Frieren's spells give you alternatives to another sword moveset; Frieren also benefits from longer golem protection. Shadow Monarch rewards deeper investment through the Monarch Path, an Igris companion, and stronger basic attacks. Keep these weapons in use while building your S-tier options, especially when their evolutions are further along.

Flame Director, Cataclysm, and Mochi Commander occupy B tier. Hu Tao still has a personal damage-doubling state, Miyabi offers fast katana attacks and frost bursts, and Katakuri can cast three turrets while Skill 1 is on cooldown. They remain useful progression weapons, but the older Hu Tao + Miyabi or Sung Jinwoo + Hu Tao setups are no longer the default top recommendation for Update 4.

Cursed King, Dragon Eclipse, Immortal Sovereign, and Divine Emperor are C-tier options. Use them to progress when they are your best-developed kits, then redirect major investments toward stronger replacements. Lights of Divinity, Kings Gambit, and Twisted Agony sit in D, followed by Rubber Man, Cosmic Warrior, and Thunder Prodigy in E. Low weapon placement does not make their unlockable titles useless: several still provide valuable farming bonuses.

How This Anime Zero Tier List Is Ranked

• Damage that lands: room-clearing coverage, boss pressure, attack reach, and reliable targeting matter more than a single impressive hit.
• Rotation and protection: all skills and ultimates now grant i-frames throughout their casts. Basic-attack protection and useful options between cooldowns still distinguish individual kits.
• Second-slot value: Astral Blossom can improve your main weapon through buffs, healing, and cooldown support, so personal damage alone does not decide her placement.
• Evolution and upgrades: account for unlocked passives, the Monarch Path, companion upgrades, and traits before comparing results.
• Progression value: favor reliable clears over chasing a new weapon at the cost of every other upgrade. Order within a tier is not a precise DPS measurement.

Best Build and Weapon Pairings in Anime Zero Update 4

Ye-0 + an evolved Astral Blossom is a recommended Update 4 pairing. Put Deadeye on Ye-0 for damage and Supernova on Astral Blossom for quicker support rotations. Astral Blossom also pairs well with Shadow Monarch or Silver Calamity. If you are developing Crimson Eclipse, her S-tier placement makes her a priority damage investment; keep your strongest completed kit in use while collecting her materials.

Pairing	When to use it	Trait setup
Ye-0 + Astral Blossom	A top damage-and-support pairing	Deadeye on Ye-0; Supernova on Astral Blossom
Shadow Monarch + Astral Blossom	When your Monarch Path and Igris are already developed	Deadeye on Shadow Monarch; Supernova on Astral Blossom
Silver Calamity + Astral Blossom	A spell-focused alternative with the same support slot	Deadeye on Silver Calamity; Supernova on Astral Blossom

Use S-Rank Hunter for +18% damage and +3% crit chance. Unlock it by clearing Shadow Gate twice as Shadow Monarch without dying. Prioritize damage and crit damage in the skill tree, then fill any remaining stat gaps through accessories. Keep your final setup within the crit and cooldown caps below.

Astral Blossom: Best Second-Slot Support and Buff Rotation

Astral Blossom is Astra Yao, and her buffs affect both equipped weapons. Evolution greatly expands her support: before evolving, Skills 1 and 2 give no buffs, while Skill 3 grants Astra's Cheer. After evolving, Skills 1 and 2 grant Astra's Aura, while Skill 3 and the ultimate grant both Aura and Cheer. Her ultimate also heals and reduces your other units' cooldowns.

Buff	Effect	Duration
Astra's Aura	+50% damage and +25% speed	8 seconds
Astra's Cheer	+50% damage	15 seconds

Activate her support, then switch to your damage weapon. Reapplying the same buff refreshes its duration rather than stacking another copy. Use Supernova to help refresh support more frequently, and watch the on-screen buff timers. Avoid assuming Aura and Cheer produce a particular combined multiplier when planning a damage calculation.

Best Traits for Each Weapon

Deadeye is the main damage recommendation; Supernova is the support and rotation alternative. Astral Blossom particularly benefits from Supernova because the value of her second slot depends on refreshing buffs. Cataclysm also favors Supernova in the current weapon-specific recommendations.

Weapon	Trait to target	Build focus
Crimson Eclipse	Deadeye	Crit-focused damage
Ye-0	Deadeye	Main damage slot
Astral Blossom	Supernova	Support cooldowns
Inferno Prince	Deadeye	Damage
Silver Calamity	Deadeye	Damage
Shadow Monarch	Deadeye	Damage; Supernova remains an alternative for speedrunning
Flame Director	Deadeye	Crit-capable damage; burn damage does not crit
Cataclysm	Supernova	Attack speed and cooldown rotation
Other weapons	Deadeye for damage; Ferocity as an interim option	Keep a useful trait while saving rerolls for your main kit

Anime Zero Trait Tier List: All Traits and Stats

Deadeye and Supernova lead the trait ranking, followed by Ferocity and Sniper. Fortune is the specialized farming choice even though it sits below the top combat traits. The 2x Luck bonus now applies to trait rerolls, so check the current odds in the reroll menu before spending your crystals.

Deadeye favors crit-heavy burst, while Supernova trades that focus for attack speed and cooldown reduction. Sniper, Razor Focus, and Overkill can fill gaps in a developing crit build. Keep them when they help your current setup instead of exhausting every reroll before you have a weapon worth committing to.

Tier	Trait / Rarity	Bonuses
S	Deadeye Mythical	+20% damage +5% crit chance +50% crit damage
S	Supernova Mythical	+24% damage +12% cooldown reduction +20% attack speed +3 speed
A	Ferocity Legendary	+18% damage +8% cooldown reduction +14% attack speed +2 speed
A	Sniper Legendary	+12% crit chance +15% crit damage +8% attack speed
B	Hunter Epic	+10% damage +5% cooldown reduction +10% attack speed +1 speed
B	Fortune Uncommon	+25% coins +20% XP +20% drop rate
B	Razor Focus Epic	+13% crit chance
B	Overkill Epic	+40% crit damage
C	Power 3 Common	+8% damage
C	Vitality Rare	+25% HP
C	Swift 3 Common	+12% attack speed +1 speed
C	Focus 3 Common	+10% cooldown reduction
D	Power 2 Common	+6% damage
D	Focus 2 Common	+7% cooldown reduction
D	Swift 2 Common	+9% attack speed +1 speed
D	Power 1 Common	+4% damage
D	Focus 1 Common	+4% cooldown reduction
D	Swift 1 Common	+6% attack speed +1 speed

Anime Zero Accessory Tier List

Equip one accessory in each slot: head, face, neck, and back. The ranking below covers the accessories in this list; choose your final loadout around damage, drops, coins, or XP. A lower-tier farming accessory can be preferable to a combat item when the goal is resource collection.

Blast Archer Crown and Blast Archer Wings remain useful damage priorities, while SunGlasses add +3% damage and +11% crit chance. Capsule Scarf has coin and XP bonuses, but Cursed King Collar is a neck-slot damage alternative. No-Life King's Shades and Otherworld Halo also offer specialized options beyond the accessories ranked above.

Best Accessory Builds for Damage, Drops, Coins, and XP

Goal	Head	Face	Neck	Back	Trait
Damage	Blast Archer Crown: +20% damage	No-Life King's Shades: +12% damage; or SunGlasses for +11% crit chance	Cursed King Collar: +10% damage	Blast Archer Wings: +16% damage	Deadeye on the damage weapon
Drops	Flame Pirate Hat: +10% drops	No-Life King's Shades: +5% drops	Choose a useful available item	Blast Archer Wings: +10% drops	Fortune: +20% drops
Coins	Flame Pirate Hat: +10% coins	SunGlasses: +5% coins	Capsule Scarf: +5% coins	Blast Archer Wings: +10% coins	Fortune: +25% coins
XP	Otherworld Halo: +10% XP	Kitsune Mask: +6% XP	Capsule Scarf: +7% XP	Blast Archer Wings: +10% XP	Fortune: +20% XP

Fortune bonuses use the weapon you played most during the run. Switching to a Fortune weapon immediately before the clear does not determine your reward bonus. A damage trait may still be preferable when faster clears outweigh extra rewards per run, but Deadeye itself does not grant a coin or drop bonus.

Useful Damage and Farming Titles

Title	Bonus	How to unlock
S-Rank Hunter	+18% damage, +3% crit chance	Clear Shadow Gate twice as Shadow Monarch without dying
Master Crafter	+6% coins	Check the title card for its unlock objective
Rubber Man	+8% XP	Clear 15 dungeons as Rubber Man on any difficulty
Immortal Sovereign	+10% drops	Kill 50 enemies as Immortal Sovereign in one Nightmare dungeon without dying
Cosmic Warrior	+10% drops	Clear a dungeon as Cosmic Warrior in under three minutes
Dragon Eclipse	+10% drops	Kill 25 bosses as Dragon Eclipse on Hard or higher without dying

How to Get Crimson Eclipse and Solar Radiance

Crimson Eclipse is Chisa's craftable LYTH weapon. Farm her crafting materials in Tidal High Rise. If Nightmare is slowing your progress, use Medium for more consistent clears. Astral Blossom with Supernova, Ye-0, and Shadow Monarch are useful choices for this mode; pair Astral Blossom with a developed damage weapon.

Solar Radiance is Cha Hae In's LYTH weapon. Farm Evil Reflection for her acquisition and upgrade progression. Her drop chance increased and the guarantee became earlier after launch, so use the current raid reward panel and pity counter when planning your runs. Her ultimate now triggers the Triple Ult.

Tidal High Rise returned to water after briefly becoming Molten High Rise. Its later changes increased coins, gems, spins, and Crimson Eclipse material drops while reducing enemy numbers. Both new modes have Easy, Medium, Hard, and Nightmare difficulties. In Evil Reflection, expect an Evil Twin that blocks and dashes rather than standing still for your rotation.

Subzero skins can drop in Tidal High Rise across its difficulties. Subzero also gives Crimson Eclipse a small damage and crit bonus, so it is more than a visual change. Treat it as an extra benefit while farming materials rather than a reason to stop developing the rest of your build.

Crimson Eclipse, Solar Radiance, and Silver Calamity Evolution Materials

Keep obtaining a weapon separate from evolving it. The checklists below are for evolution, including Crimson Eclipse after crafting her. Recipes were adjusted during the Update 4 patches, so check the evolution menu before committing your currency.

Weapon	Evolution materials	Currency
Crimson Eclipse / Chisa	30 Fine Cloth; 25 Tech Components; 35 Sun Cores; 22 Forbidden Fruit; 20 Shear Fragments; 12 Crimson Ribbons; 6 Thread Chokers	6,500,000 coins; 13,500 gems
Solar Radiance / Cha Hae In	40 Fine Cloth; 28 Soul Fragments; 18 Magic Pendants; 10 Forbidden Fruit; 28 Pure Sword Shards; 17 Hunter's Stars; 9 Pure Quills	8,000,000 coins; 15,000 gems
Silver Calamity / Frieren	30 Fine Cloths; 30 Mana Feathers; 20 Soul Fragments; 35 Magic Pendants	3,000,000 coins; 11,000 gems

Material	Where to farm
Fine Cloth	All chapters / Infinite
Soul Fragments and Magic Pendants	Chapter 1
Tech Components	Chapter 2
Sun Cores	Chapter 2 / Infinite
Forbidden Fruit and Mana Feathers	Chapter 3 / Infinite
Shear Fragments, Crimson Ribbons, Thread Chokers	Tidal High Rise
Pure Sword Shards, Hunter's Stars, Pure Quills	Evil Reflection

Trials Progression and Shadow Monarch Upgrades

Trials now uses five rooms per floor, with faster clears, improved rewards, and reduced enemy damage and health from floor 100 upward. Ye-0 and Inferno Prince are available at floor 200. Astral Blossom and Silver Calamity also come through Trials progression; check the unit reward milestones as you climb.

Use Next Floor to continue without returning to the lobby. Floor skips cover the entire floor, become more expensive as you climb, and do not count toward the leaderboard; unit rooms cannot be skipped. Trials also gives XP and guild XP, and its food drops can cover missing awakening materials.

Shadow Monarch remains worth developing if you already own him. Stage I of the Monarch Path unlocks his ultimate and in-run damage progression, Stage II adds Igris and his upgrade tree, and Stage III increases M1 reach and damage. Press the ultimate input again after Monarch's Domain to call Kaisel.

Igris upgrade branch	What it improves
Crimson Blade	Igris's damage
Knight's Pace	Igris's attack speed
Loyalty	Heals you for a portion of Igris's damage
ARISE Shadows	Each level adds one shadow and +10% shadow damage

Igris upgrades require additional Shadow Gate materials and coins beyond the Monarch Path itself. Prioritize the branch that helps your current runs: damage and attack speed for pressure, Loyalty for healing, or ARISE for more shadows. Shadow Gate gives five free runs followed by a 30-minute cooldown once all five are used; Shadow Monarch has a 3% drop chance per clear and a guarantee by 32 clears.

Crit Caps, I-Frames, and Trait Rolling

Stat / mechanic	Value
Base critical-hit damage	200% base damage
Crit chance cap	60%
Crit damage cap	275%
Cooldown reduction cap	40%
Skill-tree crit branch	3% / 6% / 10% / 15%
Skills and ultimates	I-frames throughout the cast
M1 protection	Ye Shunguang, Silver Calamity, and Astral Blossom gained M1 i-frames; Shadow Monarch also has basic-attack protection

Time attacks around enemy warnings and your remaining cooldowns. Cast protection is now shared across weapons, so it is no longer a reason to treat Shadow Monarch as uniquely safe during skills. Use the i-frame bar below the combo bar to see your protection windows. For ground-targeted skills, hold to aim and release to cast; PC shift-lock aiming follows your camera.

Trait auto reroll stops on your selected targets and always stops on Legendary or Mythical traits. Tap a trait pity bar to choose the guaranteed trait. Legendary trait pity is 250 rerolls and Mythical pity is 1,000. The 2x Luck bonus now works on rerolls as well as normal spins, and the trait menu shows the adjusted chances. Instant Spins skips animations; Bulk Trait Reroll is also available in Update 4.

Weapon summon pity applies to Lucky Spins: 200 for Mythical, 400 for Arcane, and 3,750 for LYTH. Older active pity bars retain 175 / 350 / 3,500 until their next pity. Check the selected banner's counter before spending. Luck support for normal spins does not automatically give them the Lucky Spin pity system.

Where to Farm Coins, Gems, XP, and Trait Crystals

Goal	Where to start	Why
Crimson Eclipse progression	Tidal High Rise; Medium if Nightmare is unreliable	Crafting and evolution materials, plus increased coins, gems, and spins
Solar Radiance progression	Evil Reflection	Weapon acquisition and evolution materials
Coins	Shadow Gate or other raids you clear reliably; Nightmare Story as a fallback	Repeatable rewards while working on upgrades
XP	Infinite; Shadow Gate when farming raid resources alongside XP	Choose between sustained waves and repeatable raid clears
Gems	Nightmare Story, achievements, and Tidal High Rise	Match the farm to the upgrades you also need
Trait Crystals	Nightmare Story, weekly quests, achievements, milestones, codes, and guild shop	Nightmare Story has a 40% Trait Crystal chance per clear
Trials weapons and awakening support	Trials	Unit milestones, food, Lucky Spins, crystals, XP, and guild XP

Story clear chances for a Trait Crystal are 5% / 10% / 20% / 40% on Easy / Normal / Hard / Nightmare. Story materials drop from normal enemies, and Story material pity was removed. In Infinite, materials begin dropping at wave 16, with better materials at waves 31 and 46. To receive a wave's payout, be present from its start, deal damage, and stay alive through the clear.

The 2x Drops pass doubles drop chance rather than item quantity in Story and Infinite; it does not boost XP, coins, or healing. Keep it separate from 2x Luck when planning your farms. Guild perks and the Guild Bank shop offer additional progression support, while Season Pass quests now include daily, weekly, and season-long objectives.

Anime Zero Weapon Names and Characters

Anime Zero Weapon Synergies

Treat a pair bonus as one part of your setup. Astral Blossom's active buffs and a stronger second moveset can be more valuable than choosing a lower-ranked weapon solely for a named synergy. These pair bonuses are separate from Solar Radiance's combination ultimate.

Weapon pair	Bonus
Cursed King (Sukuna) + Immortal Sovereign (Alucard)	+10% damage
Rubber Man (Luffy) + Divine Emperor (Shanks)	+15% maximum health
Cosmic Warrior (Goku) + Thunder Prodigy (Killua)	-10% cooldowns
Twisted Agony (Juuzou) + Kings Gambit (Nagumo)	+20% ultimate charge
Dragon Eclipse (Guts) + Lights of Divinity (Saber)	+5% damage, +8% maximum health
