The latest Anime Defenders Update 5.5 added some new units to the tower defense game and underwent a balance revamp for a lot of existing units. This changes up the meta pretty heavily, which is why we created an Anime Defenders Tier List for all Units.
Anime Defenders Tier List
In Anime Defenders there are now over 70 unique units with over 200 total variations when you include all of the Evolved and Shiny units. While each unit may have specific strengths on a specific map or against certain modifiers, this tier list is as a whole.
As such, units in our S Tier are the best and can handle most if not all types of content effectively. These are the units you want to strive for. Units in the A Tier are also strong options and will in most cases be able to successfully clear most content, they just aren’t as strong or versatile as those in S Tier. Units in the B Tier have specific situations in which they shine, but may not be as universally effective. Units in the C Tier have evolved or shiny variants that make them strong enough to consider, while those in the D Tier are solid if you have no better options, but should be replaced as soon as possible with higher tier units.
Any units not in this tier list are simply not strong enough at the moment to be considered for a permanent spot in your lineup. Here is our Anime Defenders Tier List for Update 5.5:
