Update 1.0 is now live in Anime Squadron, the Komplex Studio lane battler where you summon anime heroes, evolve them, and hold lanes against nonstop waves and boss fights. The headline pulls this patch are the Dragon Ball-styled damage units, and the fastest way to clear the toughest raid content is to build one of them into your carry before anything else.
Quick answer: Make Gometa (SSJ4) or Shanron (Omega) your damage core. Gometa comes from evolving Goki to Full Power, finishing the tied questline, and gathering Primal Core materials; Shanron (Omega) drops from clearing GT City Raid Act 4 before you commit to its costly evolution. Pair either one with Skeleton Knight (Resonance) for durability, and you have the backbone to push raid boss stages.
Where Anime Squadron stands after Update 1.0
Roblox lists Anime Squadron under Strategy and Tower Defense, and the game plays as a lane battler. The core loop stays the same across the update. You summon and upgrade units, deploy your anime heroes into lanes, level them, evolve them, and unlock their abilities as waves get harder. Multiple game modes run alongside co-op play, so you can team up with friends to take on massive bosses and endless enemy pressure.
Servers hold up to 16 players, which matters for the heavier boss and raid content where a full lineup of damage carries clears phases much faster than a solo squad.
How to get the top Dragon Ball units
The two Dragon Ball crossover units are the strongest damage options to chase, but they unlock through different systems. Gometa runs through an evolution chain and material farm, while Shanron sits behind a specific raid act. Here is what each one needs and why it earns a slot.
| Unit | How to unlock | Role value |
|---|---|---|
| Gometa (SSJ4) | Evolve Goki to Full Power, complete the related questline, then farm Primal Core materials. | Top-tier DPS with self-stacking buffs; also tanks well through defense, HP regen, and dodge. |
| Shanron (Omega) | Clear GT City Raid Act 4, then plan for an expensive evolution path. | Flexible DPS, tank, and support value; the cost makes timing important. |
Other high-priority units worth chasing
If you want backup damage or a durability core to support the Dragon Ball units, these are the strongest targets and how to unlock them.
| Unit | How to get | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Berserker (Enraged) | Squadron Eclipse before Chapter 4. | Elite DPS; Bleed damage cuts enemy regeneration and his output climbs as his HP drops. |
| Skeleton Knight (Resonance) | Raid Eclipse before the last chapter. | Best tanking tool; link him to your top DPS for damage reduction. |
| Woo (Shadow) | Banner Secret, reported at a 20,000 summon pity. | One of the highest DPS ceilings, but demands gem discipline. |
| Madora (Gunbai) | Clear Ninja Village Squadron Act 4. | Strong burn and boss-killing value from a clear, non-random target. |
| Puppeteer (Transcendent) | Base from Katakara Bridge Challenge; evolution item from Katakara Challenge Hard Mode. | Gometa-style DPS with tankiness, self buffs, and a damage debuff. |
| Falcon (Dark) | Evolve Banner Mythic Falcon. | Execute damage, support, debuff resistance, and Yen gain for farming. |
| Shield Hero | Battle Pass reward. | Best practical tank until Gometa can cover durability. |
Squad order to clear boss and raid waves
Boss stages punish squads that stack raw power without covering roles. Some waves send armored enemies that physical units cannot dent, forcing a magic attacker into the lineup, while speed-check waves punish slow units. Build in the order below so each investment pays back before you move on.
- Level one carry until normal waves stop leaking. Gometa (SSJ4) is the ideal keeper here.
- Add a boss DPS once the route is stable but bosses survive too long. Berserker (Enraged) or Madora (Gunbai) fill this well.
- Slot Skeleton Knight (Resonance) as your tank and link him to your strongest DPS for the damage reduction.
- Add support or control only after your damage units are worth amplifying.
- Add an economy unit when a map lasts long enough for income to pay back; skip it on short stages.

The roles map cleanly to trait focus, so you do not waste Trait Shards or Perfect Cubes on the wrong stat.
| Role | Trait focus | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Carry | Damage, speed, crit, or multi-hit | Clearing waves and carrying story progress |
| Boss DPS | Single-target damage, burst uptime, boss shred | Boss stages, raids, high-health waves |
| Tank / Control | Survival, lane control, stun or slow uptime | Protecting weak lanes and buying time |
| Support | Range, cooldown, buff uptime | Scaling a strong carry or slowing lanes |
| Economy | Income, placement cost, upgrade efficiency | Long routes and endless farming |
When a unit is actually worth evolving
Rare evolution materials like Primal Core are limited, so hold them for units that stay useful across several modes. A unit earns its evolution when the evolved form changes clear speed, boss damage, or team scaling enough to affect your main route. That is why Gometa (SSJ4) sits at the front of the queue, and Shanron (Omega) waits until you can fully fund its path.
You will know an investment landed when a stage that leaked before now holds, boss phases end noticeably faster, or a wave you kept losing to finally clears. If a fresh evolution does not move any of those needles, the materials would have paid off more elsewhere. Keep one carry finished before you branch out, and the Dragon Ball units will handle the heaviest waves the update throws at you.
