Your damage in Anime Fighting Simulator comes down to three choices that stack on top of each other. The fruit decides how you clear groups, the champion you equip pumps a specific stat, and your cursed technique fills in the rest of your kit. Get all three right and the grind speeds up fast.
Quick answer: Run Flame or Ice as your fruit, equip a Secret-tier champion like Curse King or Jogu for the stat you are pushing, and use Weapon Specialist as your cursed technique (with Rika and Shrine as strong alternatives).
Best fruits to use right now
Flame has been a top fruit for a long time and it still holds that spot. Recent balance changes pushed Ice up alongside it, so the two share the top of the list. Magma and Sand sit just below as the next-best picks, with Light close behind them. The lower-tier fruits have not changed, so anything outside that group is still a step down in clear speed.
| Tier | Fruits |
|---|---|
| Top | Flame, Ice |
| Strong | Magma, Sand |
| Solid | Light |
Best champion for each stat
A normal letter-tier list does not work well for champions, because each one boosts a different stat. The smarter way to pick is by the stat you want to raise, then equip the champion with the highest percentage at max level. Secret-tier champions dominate most categories, with Jogu standing out for movement stats and Curse King leading the damage-focused ones.
Max level depends on rarity. Common and Uncommon cap at level 10, Rare and Epic cap at 20, and Legendary and above cap at 30. The percentages below are the boosts at that cap.
| Stat | Champion | Rarity | Boost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strength | Curse King | Secret | 90% |
| Strength | Boron | Secret | 80% |
| Strength | Quake | Mythic | 74% |
| Strength | Brokai | Mythic | 74% |
| Strength | Curse Hunter | Mythic | 69% |
| Durability | Jogu | Secret | 80% |
| Durability | Boron | Secret | 80% |
| Durability | Curse King | Secret | 75% |
| Durability | Brokai | Mythic | 74% |
| Durability | Quake | Mythic | 59% |
| Chakra | Jogu | Secret | 85% |
| Chakra | Boron | Secret | 80% |
| Chakra | Mada | Mythic | 74% |
| Chakra | Puya | Mythic | 74% |
| Chakra | Sparrow | Legendary | 50% |
| Sword | Curse King | Secret | 80% |
| Sword | Puya | Mythic | 79% |
| Sword | Curse Hunter | Mythic | 59% |
| Sword | Sparrow | Legendary | 50% |
| Sword | Hawkeye | Legendary | 50% |
| Speed | Jogu | Secret | 100% |
| Speed | Lykon | Legendary | 40% |
| Speed | Kakosh | Epic | 30% |
| Speed | Kilren | Rare | 30% |
| Speed | Suske | Rare | 25% |
| Agility | Jogu | Secret | 100% |
| Agility | Special Grade | Legendary | 60% |
| Agility | Hurt | Legendary | 35% |
| Agility | Kilren | Rare | 30% |
| Agility | Sango | Common | 27% |
If you want one champion that covers the most ground, Jogu is the standout. It tops Speed and Agility at 100% and leads Chakra and Durability, which makes it the most flexible pull. Curse King is the pick when you are stacking pure offense through Strength and Sword.
Best cursed techniques
Cursed Techniques are unlocked by interacting with the capsule next to the Gojo NPC at JJK Academy on the new island. Weapon Specialist is the strongest option overall, with Rika a very close second. Shrine is also a reliable choice that performs well in practice once you craft it.
How to craft Shrine
A couple of other technique locations are worth knowing while you are out there. Special Grade is found beside the 100T Dura Training back at JJK Academy, and Sorcerer Hunter is in the Snowy Area.
Build around the stat you are training, pair it with Flame or Ice, and slot in Weapon Specialist or Shrine, and you will have a loadout that holds up well past the early game. Re-check your champions whenever you pull a new Secret, since those almost always edge out your current pick for whatever stat they cover.
