Anime Overload launched on Roblox with a massive roster of gacha-summoned units spanning pure damage dealers, support/debuff hybrids, cleanse specialists, and dedicated farming picks. Not all of them deserve your Yen, though. The gap between the top-tier evolved units and the bottom of the barrel is enormous, and building a balanced team matters far more than stacking six of the same role.
Quick answer: The four strongest units in the game right now are Crimson Queen (Dominant), Goju (Unlimited), Strongest Alien (Burst), and Susono (Indra) — all sitting in S+ tier at max evolution.
How This Tier List Works
Every ranking below assumes the unit is fully evolved and fed to its maximum level, meaning all passives and abilities are unlocked. An unevolved version of any unit generally performs one to two tiers lower than its evolved counterpart. For example, Bald Hero (Super Serious) sits in S tier, but Bald Hero (Serious) drops to A, and the base Bald Hero falls to B.
Team composition is critical. Running six support units will get you nowhere in late-game stages. You want a mix of raw DPS, at least one or two debuff/support DPS units like Red Hair for their combined damage and crowd control, and a farming unit if you're grinding resources.

S+ Tier Breakdown — The Meta-Defining Units
Crimson Queen (Dominant) is the premier DPS pick. Her evolved form outputs damage that nothing else in the current roster can match consistently across all stage types. If you pull her, she should be the first unit you max out.
Goju (Unlimited) delivers burst damage that trivializes most encounters. His base form sits in A tier, which is still respectable, but the Unlimited evolution is where he becomes a completely different unit.
Strongest Alien (Burst) specializes in massive single-target burst windows. The unevolved Strongest Alien is still a solid S-tier pick, so even pulling the base version gives you a strong unit to work with while you gather evolution materials.
Susono (Indra) rounds out the S+ tier with reliable, high-ceiling DPS. Like the others, the base Susono performs well at S tier, making the evolution path feel rewarding rather than mandatory just to be competitive.
Best Beginner Units To Invest In Early
Not everyone will pull Mythics on day one. If you're just starting out, focus on units that are easy to obtain and scale well into the mid-game or even late-game through evolution.
| Unit | Role | Why It's Good Early |
|---|---|---|
| Inoomaki | Support | Solid beginner support that helps your team survive tougher stages while you build your roster |
| Yono | Air DPS | Handles aerial enemies early on; evolves into Yono (Spirit) at A tier |
| Buls / Sunji | Burn DPS | Great early burn damage for clearing waves quickly on a budget |
| Jaken Hunter (Kid) | Legendary (evolves) | Easy-to-get Legendary that evolves into Jaken Hunter (Adult), an A-tier late-game unit |
| Ener | Legendary (evolves) | Another accessible Legendary; Ener (Lightning) reaches S tier after evolution |
The key takeaway is that Jaken Hunter (Kid) and Ener are two of the most efficient long-term investments for free-to-play or low-spending players. Both start as easy Legendary pulls and evolve into units that remain relevant deep into endgame content.
Best Mythics To Prioritize
If you're rerolling or saving crystals for a specific Mythic banner, Sukuna and Bald Hero are the two hybrid DPS Mythics worth targeting. Both offer a blend of raw damage and utility that makes them flexible across different team compositions and stage types.
Anime Overload Traits Tier List
Traits are equippable modifiers that significantly affect a unit's performance. The gap between the best and worst traits is substantial, but even mid-tier options are perfectly usable while you farm for upgrades.
| Tier | Traits |
|---|---|
| S | Overloaded, Voidborn |
| A | Grace, Nullshot, Radiant, Rift-Edge, Sharpshoot |
| B | Blind Rage, Thrift, Wisdom |
| C | Brutality, Extension, Surge |
Overloaded is the single best trait in the game. If you roll it, lock it immediately. Voidborn sits alongside it at S tier and is equally worth keeping. For the A-tier options, Grace and Sharpshoot are strong general-purpose picks that work on most DPS units.
Elemental Strengths and Weaknesses
Anime Overload uses an elemental system that creates meaningful matchup advantages. Bringing the right element into a stage can dramatically increase your damage output or reduce incoming threats.
| Element | Strong Against | Weak Against |
|---|---|---|
| Dark | Light | Light |
| Light | Dark | Dark |
| Physical | Wind | Storm |
| Storm | Physical | Wind |
| Fire | Nature | Water |
| Water | Fire | — |
Dark and Light counter each other symmetrically. Physical, Storm, and Wind form a rock-paper-scissors triangle. Fire beats Nature but loses to Water, while Water beats Fire with no listed weakness in the current element chart.
Farming Resources Efficiently
Speedcart is the best dedicated farming unit. Eskanor can fill the role in a pinch, but Speedcart outperforms it by a wide margin for resource grinding. Beyond your unit choice, here's how to farm each major resource type.
| Resource | Best Farming Methods |
|---|---|
| Gems | Legend Stage, Quests, Infinite mode on Leaf Village, Vending Machines (RNG-based) |
| Traits | Raid Shop, farming Raids, Challenges, Daily Shop, Vending Machines |
| Gold | Selling summons from Event Banners (easy currency), Legend Stage (250 gold per clear) |
| Tokens | Raid Shop, farming Raids, 2nd Expedition, Legend Stage |
| Stat Cubes / Stat Lock | Raid Shops, farming Raids, Challenges |
| Stars | Legend Stages, Challenges, Raid Shop, Daily Shop |
| Crystals | Redeeming codes, completing Quests and Stages, AFK chamber |
For leveling units quickly, feed them food farmed from the Fishman Raid. Profile level, on the other hand, increases fastest by simply progressing through story mode.

Anime Overload's meta will continue shifting as new units, balance patches, and events roll out. For now, prioritizing Crimson Queen (Dominant), Goju (Unlimited), Strongest Alien (Burst), or Susono (Indra) gives you the strongest possible foundation, while budget-friendly picks like Ener and Jaken Hunter (Kid) offer a clear path from early game to endgame without relying on lucky Mythic pulls.
