Anime Squadron is a lane-battler on Roblox where the units you build matter far more than the waves you fight. Two players with the same roster can get very different results, so knowing which characters to invest gems and trait rerolls into saves you a lot of wasted resources. With the full release live, the meta has settled around a small group of damage dealers, one standout support, and a single money unit.
Quick answer: Build Gometa (SSJ4) first, then back him with Woo (Shadow), Puppeteer (Transcendent), Shanron (Omega), Madora (Gunbai), and Shinks. Run the Superior trait on your carries and keep Fastwagon on the field for income.
Anime Squadron unit tier list (June 2026)
Rankings reflect how each unit performs across Story, Squadron, Challenge, Raid, and Infinite Mode. The list ignores how rare a unit is to pull and focuses on raw endgame value and clear speed.
| Tier | Units |
|---|---|
| S | Gometa (SSJ4), Woo (Shadow), Puppeteer (Transcendent), Shanron (Omega), Madora (Gunbai), Shinks |
| A | Karashi (Sharingan), Vegata (SSJ4 Full Power), Goki (SSJ4 Full Power), Shield Hero, Fastwagon, Rudaus |
| B | Big Beard (Father), Rizzuto (Sage), Mamosa, Zemitsu |
| C | Choi, Tranks, Zaro, Ramuru, Igras, Shin |
| D | Michigo, Asto, Mab, Muffy |
S-tier units and why they carry
The top tier is built around units that snowball during long fights or fill more than one role at once. Gometa (SSJ4) is the clearest priority. His self-stacking damage buffs keep growing through extended runs, and his defense, HP regen, and dodge let him double as a tank in late content.
| Unit | Role | Why it ranks here |
|---|---|---|
| Gometa (SSJ4) | Main DPS / Tank | Stacking crit and damage buffs, plus self-heal and dodge on ability use. Best all-round unit in the game. |
| Woo (Shadow) | DPS / Speed | Highest raw damage and the fastest unit. Ideal for speed farming and Infinite Mode. |
| Puppeteer (Transcendent) | DPS / Tank | Heavy self-buffs, strong HP regen, and a debuff that adds damage. Everything to build him drops on one challenge stage. |
| Shanron (Omega) | Sub DPS / Utility | Damage-over-time, crowd control, and a Wet debuff that boosts Spark units like Gometa. Expensive to grind. |
| Madora (Gunbai) | Sub DPS | Strong burn damage and meteor ultimate. The best dedicated boss killer. |
| Shinks | Support | The best pure support: an area damage boost plus the ability to stall incoming waves. |
Tip: Shanron is powerful but costly to evolve. Hold off on him until Gometa, Woo, and Madora are established, then add him for the extra utility.
How to unlock the meta units
Most units come from the Basic Banner and Selection Banner using Gems, which you earn by clearing levels. The strongest picks, though, are tied to evolutions and specific stages rather than pure luck. You can find Anime Squadron on its official Roblox game page.
| Unit | How to get it |
|---|---|
| Gometa (SSJ4) | Evolve Goki to Full Power, finish the questline, then gather Primal Core materials for the Gogeta evolution. |
| Woo (Shadow) | Evolve Woo. The base Woo is a Banner Secret with a 20,000 summon pity. |
| Puppeteer (Transcendent) | Evolve Puppeteer. The base unit drops from the Katakara Bridge Challenge; the evolution item comes from Hard Mode. |
| Shanron (Omega) | GT City Raid Act 4. |
| Madora (Gunbai) | Ninja Village Squadron Act 4. |
| Shield Hero | Battle Pass reward. |
Best traits to roll
Traits can change a unit’s output more than a level-up. Superior is the clear top pick, mainly because the extra placement slot lets you field one more unit on top of the stat gains. Reroll off anything in the bottom tier as soon as you can.
| Trait | Tier | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Superior | SS | +200% DMG, +300% HP, +30% RNG, -15% CD, +1 Spawn Cap. |
| Cloner | SS | Deploys 2 units instead of 1, with +40% DMG and +60% HP. |
| Entrepreneur | S | -40% cost, +30% DMG, +30% HP. Fields expensive units sooner. |
| Rebirth | S | +35% DMG, +50% HP, +20% RNG, plus a one-time respawn at 50% HP. |
| Lethal / Sniper / Wealthy | A | Solid damage, range, or cost options when secret traits are out of reach. |
| Sight / Endure / Tank | D | Stat gains too small to matter. Reroll immediately. |
For gear, the Omega Gear Set is the strongest option, with individual Mythic pieces as the next best. Match traits to roles: Superior or Cloner on DPS and support, Entrepreneur or Wealthy on Fastwagon, and Rebirth on tanks.
Team setups that clear content
A working team balances damage, survivability, and income. Max Fastwagon first so the rest of your squad deploys faster.
| Goal | Team |
|---|---|
| Mid-to-late, all modes | Gometa (Superior), Karashi (Rebirth), Vegata (Cloner), Fastwagon (any Farm trait). |
| Farming Madora (Ninja Village Squadron Act 4) | 2 DPS units plus Shinks and Fastwagon, or Vegata with Cloner. |
| Farming Shanron (GT City Raid Act 4) | Vegata with Cloner can solo, or use the 2 DPS + Shinks + Fastwagon setup. |
Beginner picks before you hit the meta
Early on, you use whatever you pull. A few common units pull their weight while you grind toward the top tier. Karashi (Sharingan) is worth real investment for its clear speed, and Shield Hero is your best tank right up until Gometa replaces him.
- Fastwagon for money generation, a skill unique to him.
- Mamosa for area healing and Rudaus for area cooldown reduction.
- Zemitsu for faster early line clears among common pulls.
- Vegata and Goki, since both feed into the Gometa evolution.
Farming Trait Rerolls, Gems, Gold, and EXP
Acting on the tier list takes resources. The AFK chamber is the most passive option, so set it running before you log off and collect when you return.
| Resource | Where to farm it |
|---|---|
| Trait Rerolls | Raid Shop, 30-minute challenge clears with Karashi, or the AFK chamber. |
| Gems | Raid Shop, Story 1-1 Hard, 30-minute challenge clears, or the AFK chamber. |
| Gold | Raid Shop, Squadron clears (20 or 40 by difficulty), 30-minute challenges, selling banner summons, or the AFK chamber. |
| EXP | Raids, Squadron, or Story 1-1. |
The fastest path to a strong account is simple. Rush Goki and Vegata to feed Gometa, keep Fastwagon and Shinks running for income and survivability, and reroll your carries onto Superior. Once that core is set, fill the remaining slots with Madora, Shanron, and Karashi to cover bosses, utility, and speed clears across every mode.
