Anime Destiny Unit Tier List
Units are ranked by their Ground/Hybrid DPS, support utility, and boss-killing potential. Note that tiers refer to fully evolved, max-level performance.
S-Tier (Meta DPS & Utility)
| Unit | Notes | Best Artifacts |
|---|---|---|
| Frozen Moon (Kizuki) | Best shield breaker; provides freeze stun. | Galactic Scouter, Strongest’s Coat, Strongest’s Tricorn |
| Founding Titan (Queen) | Top-tier boss killer with full AOE and titan summons. | Galactic Scouter, Strongest’s Coat, Strongest’s Tricorn |
| Shadow Monarch (Awaken) | Strong hybrid damage; buffs Crimson Knight. | Galactic Scouter, Strongest’s Coat, Strongest’s Tricorn |
| Ashura Swordsman (3SS) | Best Mythic for DoT and shield breaking. | Galactic Scouter, Strongest’s Coat, Strongest’s Tricorn |
| Crimson Knight (Dark) | Meta stats; gains synergy with Shadow Monarch. | Galactic Scouter, Strongest’s Coat, Strongest’s Tricorn |
| Red Emperor (Haki) | One of the two strongest Mythics currently available. | Galactic Scouter, Strongest’s Coat, Strongest’s Tricorn |
A-Tier & B-Tier Alternatives
A-Tier units are excellent sub-meta alternatives. Eternal Night (Blood) is a powerful boss killer that relies on crit scaling, while Future Warrior (Furious) and Insect Slayer (Poison) provide strong single-target and DoT damage, respectively. Magicbane (Anti-Magic) rounds out the tier as a premier shield breaker.
B-Tier units like Radiant Hunter (Light) are solid for bossing, though they lack the raw DPS of higher-tier options. Destruction God (Mogger) is usable but expensive relative to his output.
Beginner Strategy and Gem Farming
If you're just starting, focus on Yellow Flash, Hawkeye, or Corrupted Warrior. These are effective early-game units, but don't waste your trait rerolls on them—save those for your Mythics and Secrets. Similarly, Crow Prodigy is a great early-game shield breaker, but you should look to replace him once you start pulling higher-tier units.
To keep your progression steady, utilize these methods for farming gems:
- Complete all daily and weekly challenges.
- Run 15-minute and 30-minute challenges.
- Claim your Index and Milestone rewards.
- Grind Namak Planet (Hard).
- Farm the Igris Boss Event for stat cubes, RR, and BattlePass XP.
