Best Legendary Units In Anime Defenders

Of all unit rarities in Anime Defenders, Legendary units are the most interesting to me as they have an ideal balance of usefulness and availability. Yes, Mythicals are stronger, but it takes time to get them, while the best Legendary units in Anime Defenders are right here.

Top 5 Best Early Game Legendary Units In Anime Defenders

The great thing about Legendary Units is that you can get them relatively easily via Summons, even in the early stages of the game. Thanks to the pity system, you'll get one Legendary character in Anime Defenders after 50 pulls. So, to get the best units of this rarity, you must get Gems by farming for them or via Anime Defenders codes. This way, you'll be ready for the banner with the unit you're looking for.

5. Electric Cyborg

When you look at Electric Cyborg, you may think he's not that strong, but he's not alone in this fight. Franky from One Piece comes with a turret that deals 20% of his attack damage. After leveling the attack, it will change from an AoE circle to an AoE line, making him ideal for placing in corners.

4. Strongest Swordsman

Strongest Swordsman is a fast and reliable Legendary unit in Anime Defenders, making him one of the most popular units in the game. Even though I have more powerful Mythical characters to deploy, I still love having Dracule Mihawk as his Ground Ripper, which is arguably the strongest Legendary line-attack ability in the game.

3. Admiral of Light

Admiral of Light is a hill unit that loves to bomb units with his AoE attack. While it takes some time to reach its full potential, it's well worth it. I suggest hurrying up and upgrading Admiral of Light to level 6 as soon as possible, as his Barrage of Light will scorch everyone in the circle area.

2. Admiral of Ice

Admiral of Ice is one of the best debuff units in Anime Defenders. I use him all the time as he significantly slows down enemies. Unlike some units on the list, Admiral is useful from the get-go, as even without upgrades, he's still effective at freezing units. Having said that, his Iceberg ability has full area-of-effect, making his freezing powers even more efficient.

1. Pink Rockstar

Pink Rockstar really is a superstar in Anime Defenders. I use her even if I have multiple Mythicals, as she's the best farming unit in the game. And if that is not enough, she's also a support unit with a buff that increases allies' damage by 20% for 20 seconds (can't be stacked).
