Anime Squadron Characters Guide

Tank / Boss Burst

Unlock: Update 5.0 Oniganshina · Corrupted / Invasion boss route

Last-stand tank that stores lethal damage, then dumps it through Boro Breath. Huge burst ceiling once the 20% HP trigger fires.

Needs to fall to 20% HP and only triggers once per copy, so Yubacha stays the safer everyday frontline. Prefer Rebirth, then Superior.

AoE / Wave Clear

Unlock: Update 5.0 Oniganshina wave

Update 5 wave clearer. Every normal hit schedules a Quake, and dense packs raise both Quake damage and personal cooldown cuts.

Not base Big Beard or Big Beard (Father). Weak on sparse boss stages; strong when waves stay crowded. Prefer Superior, then Cloner.

Tank / Non-Boss Bruiser

Unlock: Update 5.0 · Oniganshina Raid Act 4 boss route

Drain-tank bruiser that converts Max-HP drain into Overhealth and scales personal damage off that buffer. Oppressive on elites, blank on bosses.

Swap out for Yubacha / Kaidu / Nazaka when the timer is a true boss. Prefer Rebirth, then Superior.

AoE / Burn Synergy

Unlock: Update 5.0 Oniganshina wave

Burn-synergy scaler that Overheats into Defense-ignoring AoE, then permanently ramps cooldown and Accuracy across cycles.

Pairs with Yumamoto Hellfire teams. Repeated lockouts keep him under S. Prefer Superior, then Cloner.

Speed DPS

Unlock: Update 5.0 Oniganshina wave

Target-hopping speed DPS. Spinning Bird Kick farms secondary enemies for stacked personal damage without leaving the main target.

Falls off on lone bosses after the first-hit bonus is spent. Prefer Superior, then Lethal.

Farm Drop / Celestial base

Unlock: Oniganshina Corrupted · 0.9% base drop, 200-run pity (not banner)

Secret drop that awakens into Zaro (King Of Hell). Push Reroll Cubes / Perfect Cubes toward S–SS grades before spending awaken mats.

Does not appear in Story / Challenge / Raid / Invasion inventory tabs until the Corrupted drop lands. Keep mats banked for the King Of Hell awaken.

Main Carry / Bleed DPS

Unlock: Update 5.0 · awaken Zaro (Weno) from Oniganshina Corrupted (Ichimoji, Anma, Kitets, 100 Devil Fruits)

First Celestial unit. Bleed stacking carry with a kill-count skill tree that keeps growing Attack, HP, or Defense the longer he stays in rotation.

Not the Rare starter Zaro. Celestial skill-tree nodes buy Attack / HP / Defense with kill milestones. Finish awaken Gold and skill-tree nodes before moving Perfect Cubes off a proven Update 4 carry.

Banner Pull / Gear 5 base

Unlock: Basic Banner · 0.025% base, 5,000-summon pity

Secret banner base that awakens into Muffy (Gear 5). Funnel Belly into pulls when the Pirate Event shop is live if you are short of pity.

Pity is the realistic path at this rate. Bank Strawhat / Rubber Core / Devil Fruits before you evolve.

Leader / Team Buffer / AoE

Unlock: Update 5.0 · awaken Muffy (Nika) (Strawhat, Rubber Core, 100 Devil Fruits)

Divine team buffer and wide-map pressure. Leader skill boosts Pirate and Unbound allies; Awakening passive lets ally basics hit every enemy for a window, then Bajrang Gun / Kaminari finish waves.

Not the Common starter Muffy. Strawhat costs 50,000 Belly; Rubber Core needs all five Drums of Liberation quest tasks.

Support / Control / DPS

Unlock: Update 5.0 Oniganshina wave

Best universal amplifier in Update 5. Places once and permanently Shakes every enemy on the map for +20% damage taken until the last Shinks leaves the field.

Not base Shinks or Shinks (Emperor). Prefer Superior, then Cloner. Pairs with Muffy Pirate shells and any boss lane that needs a free damage amp.

Main Carry / Boss / Leader

Unlock: Update 4.75 / 5.0 Dragon form · awaken from base Ramuru

Long-fight Divine scaler. Stacks Predator gimmicks, converts kills into Belzebuth Max-HP burst, and unlocks more Predator options from boss-kill Analyze milestones.

Not the Rare starter Ramuru. Roughly 90s to full Predator ramp, better on long bosses than short Story acts. Leader: Unhuman +30%, Fire +10%.

AoE DPS / Boss

Unlock: Update 4.0 Bleach wave

Update 4 area-pressure unit for crowded waves that still helps on tougher single targets.

Judge by leak control on group stages, not raw boss timers alone.

Boss DPS

Unlock: Update 4.0 Bleach wave

Update 4 sustained boss and late-wave damage option in the strong second group.

Test unfinished vs finished builds before committing rare gear or traits.

Flex DPS / Tank

Unlock: Update 4.0 Bleach wave

Update 4 flexible speed damage unit that also shows up in tank-role comps.

Assign premium traits only after the upgrade curve earns a stable slot, not from name recognition alone.

DPS / DoT

Unlock: Update 4.0 Bleach wave

Update 4 roster-depth damage option for mode testing and secondary lanes.

Keep Perfect Cubes for a unit that already earned a stable slot.

Control / DPS

Unlock: Update 4.0 Bleach wave

Update 4 control unit that mixes lane freeze-style pressure with damage for safer wave clears.

Build when lane stability is the wall, not when you still lack a finished carry.

Tank / Speed

Unlock: Update 4.0 roster depth

Update 4 tank-speed flex listed beside other Bleach-wave depth options.

Situational; finish a primary carry before heavy cube investment.

Filler

Unlock: Gacha / campaign · base form for Update 4 awaken

Low-ceiling DPS: only worth deploying when you have literally no better option.

Starter filler only. The Update 4 keeper is Michigo (Horn of Salvation); recycle base Michigo for Gold once that awaken is online.

Main Carry / Boss DPS

Unlock: Update 4.0 Bleach wave · awaken base Michigo

Update 4 premium carry. Top-group wave clear and boss pressure once awakened; Leader value when you build around the form.

Do not cube the Common starter Michigo. Finish ability checks before moving Perfect Cubes or finished gear off a proven carry.

Main Carry / Tank

Unlock: Update 4.0 Bleach wave

Update 4 endgame flex: premium damage with enough durability to sit in tank or carry slots on late waves.

Invest when it beats your current anchor on the same stage and you can finish the full upgrade route.

Main Carry / Tank

Unlock: Update 3.75 / 4.0 meta

Versatile DPS with summon and Leader tools; also fills tank slots. Entered top comps in Update 3.75 and stayed core through Update 4.

Not Woo (Shadow). Separate unit and farm track from the Monarch Daggers Divine.

Main Carry / Boss DPS

Unlock: Update 4.0 wave

Copy carry that scales with your five strongest allies in range. Update 5 donors (Muffy, Zaro, Ramuru, Michigo, Shadow) raise his ceiling hard once the shell is built.

Useful second group: do not starve an finished S-tier carry to finish Jyn first.

Support / Healer

Unlock: Nezuko awaken line

Top support across Update 3–4.5 comps: healing, cleanse, and dodge help so damage cores stop dying to attrition.

Use when damage is already enough but longer runs fail to debuffs or chip. Not a replacement for a missing carry.

Capsule DPS

Unlock: Devil Capsules (Update 3.5 capsule event)

Base capsule form before Yano (Spirit Dive).

Awaken with Yol before treating Yuno as a finished Mythic invest.

Dodge DPS

Unlock: Devil Capsule → Yuno, then Capsule Event Shop awaken with Yol

Update 3.5 Mythic awaken. Wind Cloak dodge plus reflected damage on successful dodges.

Strong catch-up Mythic on the same capsule track as Asto (Black). Not required for the six-unit end-game core.

Capsule DPS

Unlock: Devil Capsules (Update 3.5 capsule event)

Base capsule form before Yomi (Darkness).

Spend Yol on the shop sword / key before Perfect Cubes on base Yami.

Stored-burst DPS

Unlock: Devil Capsule → Yami, then Capsule Event Shop awaken with Yol

Update 3.5 Mythic awaken, stores incoming damage, then dumps a large burst.

Same capsule / Yol shop loop as Asta and Yuno.

Capsule DPS

Unlock: Devil Capsules (Update 3.5 capsule event)

Base capsule pull for the Black Clover line, bridge form before Asto (Black).

Do not cube-roll base Asta hard until the Yol shop awaken is bought. Live Codes can bank Devil Capsules for more opens.

Anti-magic DPS

Unlock: Devil Capsule → Asta, then buy the Capsule Event Shop key with Yol and awaken

Update 3.5 Secret awaken, the capsule event’s top keeper. Anti-Magic strips regen and dodge-style buffs on a short cycle so boss lanes stop healing through your burst.

• Base Asta drops from Devil Capsules (including shiny rolls)
• Yol from capsule opens funds the shop awaken item (older Yol codes are expired)
• Roll Superior after the awaken if this is your long-term Secret slot

Not the Common starter named Asto. Keep Asto (Black) on the end-game loadout; sell duplicate capsule trash after Equip Best.

DPS / Tank hybrid

Unlock: Update 3.0 JJK wave

Update 3.0 JJK carry, high boss ceiling with Full Curse / Corruption setup, Red and Blue modes, and Hollow Purple burst.

• Redirects pressure through nearby allies while Corruption builds
• Needs more setup than a naked Story clearer, support the lane before swapping your main carry

Finish the unlock route before rebuilding around Goju.

Boss DPS

Unlock: Update 3.0 JJK wave

Update 3.0 JJK boss DPS, pairs with Goju on long timers once the JJK stage or banner is online.

High-invest Secret: finish the unlock path before dumping cubes.

DPS / Support hybrid

Unlock: Crusader Bill banner, ~0.05% Secret

Base Secret pull for the Update 2.5 event, awaken into Diro (The World) before heavy cube investment.

Secret pity on this banner is a Bill sink, most accounts awaken Mythics first, then decide on Stand Arrow.

DPS / Support hybrid

Unlock: Awaken Diro with Stand Arrow from the Crusader event shop (40,000 Crusader Bills)

Update 2.5 Secret awaken, deceleration debuffs help the team tank while self-acceleration stacks keep his damage relevant.

• Boss of Crusader Desert Acts 1-3 while you farm Bills and Diro gear
• Stand Arrow is the most expensive shop awaken in the 2.5 batch
• Banner rate ~0.05% Secret with a long Bill pity (~5,000 summons / 200,000 Bills if hard-farmed)

Farm Diros Hair / Jacket / Pants (5% per act) while looping Bills, see the gear page for the set bonus.

Support DPS

Unlock: Crusader Bill banner, ~0.25% Mythic; awaken with Jaseph's Hat (20,000 Bills)

Headline Mythic from Update 2.5: Hamon Conductor strips enemy dodge, then can buff an ally's dodge if the target lives.

Highest Mythic rate on the Crusader banner, solid first Bill spend once you have Desert-farmed Bills banked.

Lane DPS

Unlock: Crusader Bill banner, ~0.125% Mythic; awaken with Avdal's Necklace (20,000 Bills)

Update 2.5 Mythic, stronger as a Burn-lane / team-sustain awaken than as a naked solo tank; read awaken passives before Perfect Cubes.

• Awakening item: Avdal's Necklace (Crusader shop, 20,000 Bills)
• Same banner rate band as Jotoro (~0.125%)
• Same Bill cost band as other Mythic hats, awaken Jaseph or Jotoro first if Bills are tight

Do not dump cubes into Avdal until you have checked the awaken kit stats; roster priority stays Jotoro / Jaseph for most 2.5 accounts.

Crit DPS

Unlock: Crusader Bill banner, ~0.125% (Mythic pity 250)

Base Mythic from the Update 2.5 event banner, bridge form before the Platinum awakening.

One pull costs 40 Crusader Bills (50x = 2,000). Farm Desert acts for Bills, code Bills no longer redeem.

Crit DPS

Unlock: Awaken Jotoro with Jotoro's Hat from the Crusader event shop (20,000 Crusader Bills)

Update 2.5 meta crit carry, stacks self buffs on crit hits and consecutive crits once Platinum Soul gear is online.

• Build for crit chance / crit damage gear and loadouts
• Awakening item: Jotoro's Hat (Crusader shop)
• Banner base form is Mythic at ~0.125% on the Crusader Bill banner

Platinum Soul piece names are in the live gear UI, crit stacking is the build goal, not raw HP.

Speed DPS

Unlock: Gacha / banner pull

Act-speed farmer: clears weak stages fast but loses to top S-tier units once wave HP scales.

Route: banner pull. Keep him as an act-speed lane clearer until your main S-tier carry covers wave HP scaling. For shinobi gear prep, Ninja Shoes/Headband recipes rely on Genjutsu Fog Vial (Leaf Village Acts 5-6).

Burn DPS

Unlock: Ninja Village Act 4 boss, 0.25% base drop chance

Farmable Secret from a story boss, burn ticks and meteor cadence make him the go-to pick when raid HP bars are the bottleneck.

• At 100 Chakra points, enters 15-second Overdrive Mode
• Overdrive: +30% damage, -20% skill cooldowns
• All Burn ticks crit for 200% damage during Overdrive

Key mat for this form: Gunbai (Ninja Village Squadron Act 4). Farm repeated Act 4 clears for the 0.25% base Secret drop, then slot shinobi/Ninja gear (Genjutsu Fog Vial from Leaf Village Acts 5-6) to keep burn + meteor pressure stable.

Support DPS

Unlock: Gacha / banner pull

Nature aura support who wants high starting Yen, aura charge resets on knockback, so he needs a stable front line.

Route: banner/gacha pull. If you want shinobi/Ninja armor, Ninja pieces use Genjutsu Fog Vial from Leaf Village Acts 5-6 (plus Stormwake Sailcloth + Stellar Ki Quartz). Upgrade Maximum Yen first so his aura can sustain early deploys.

Evolution gate

Unlock: Ghoul City Challenge Ch.1. Normal 0.5% / Hard 1% (pity 200 / 100)

Ch.1 drop required for Kan (Investigator) awakening, farm before other Ghoul City spends.

• Normal Ch.1, 0.5% per clear (200-run pity)
• Hard Ch.1, 1% per clear (100-run pity)
• Consumed in the Kan → Kan (Investigator) recipe

Gate mat, not a main carry, stop heavy investment once Kan (Investigator) is online.

Lane DPS

Unlock: Basic or Selection Banner, 50 Gems per summon

Update 1.75 Mythic banner pull, locks on one enemy until it falls, then retargets.

• Banner rate not published, budget cubes before chasing Divine Kan (Ghoul)
• First awakening turns Kan into Kan (Investigator)

Long route through Investigator → Ghoul, not a day-one chase unless Kan is your endgame goal.

Boss Hunter DPS

Unlock: Awaken Kan (Investigator) with Ghoul Core from Path of the One-Eyed King

Update 1.75 Divine endgame, single-target DPS with stacking Bleed that cuts boss regeneration.

• Every hit applies Bleed (+5% over 3s), stacks to 15
• Bleed reduces enemy regeneration by 75%
• Kills with Bleed active grant all Kans +2% Bleed and -3% cooldown
• Evolve from Kan (Investigator) after Ghoul Core from the special questline

Pairs with Meto (One Eyed) when the team needs debuff scaling on the same boss timer.

Lane DPS

Unlock: Awaken base Kan with Yukimura + Ghoul City / Infinity Train mats

Mid-step Kan form before the Divine Ghoul awakening, bridge while you farm Ghoul Core.

• Requires 1× Yukimura from Ghoul City Challenge Ch.1
• Uses Demon Blood Crystal, Capsule, and Gold bundles from listed acts
• Single-target focus like base Kan before the Ghoul kit unlocks

Support

Unlock: Ghoul City Challenge Ch.2 Normal, 1% drop (100-run pity)

Mythic support from Ghoul City, same debuff kit as the awakened form at lower ceiling.

• Ch.2 boss fight against Awakened Meto and adds
• Pity: 100 Normal Ch.2 clears
• Awaken into Meto (One Eyed) with Capsule, Demon Blood Crystal, and Ghoul Eye

Support

Unlock: Awaken Meto with Ghoul Eye from Ghoul City Challenge Ch.2 Hard

Update 1.75 Secret support. Analysed or Alert stacks buff team crit or damage on marked foes.

• 3,200 Yen deploy cost
• Analysed / Alert debuffs scale ally crit or damage against the marked target
• Awaken needs Ghoul Eye, 1% on Ch.2 Hard (100-run pity)

Field on boss lanes where debuff scaling matters more than another frontline body.

Burst DPS

Unlock: Legend Stage. Update 1.5

Legend Stage Legendary, neither banner nor Mugen Train drop. Clear Legend Stage routes for base Rengoku before investing awakening mats.

Legend Stage drops both unevolved and evolved Rengoku, neither form comes from the banner or Mugen Train raid pool.

Burst DPS

Unlock: Evolve Rengoku from Legend Stage progression

Legend Stage evolution, flame-themed burst DPS not available on banner or Mugen Train. Farm Legend Stage after the 1.5 unlock appears in lobby.

Separate stamina plan from Mugen Train, both forms come from Legend Stage, not the raid pool.

Support

Unlock: Update 1.5 Demon Slayer banner

Banner support for Demon Slayer teams, lower DPS ceiling than Tanjiro or Akaza but useful filler while chasing raid Secrets.

Shiny blue variants appear on the Update 1.5 roster. Fine as a support slot; do not prioritize Stat Cubes over Tanjiro or Akaza routes.

Bruiser DPS

Unlock: Mugen Train Raid Act 4: Easy 0.25% / Hard 0.5% (pity 400 / 200)

Update 1.5 Secret from the Mugen Train final boss, not on banner. Farm Act 4 repeats after rushing earlier acts.

• Requires Raids unlocked (level 15)
• Drop only registers when Akaza is defeated in Act 4
• Pity: 400 Easy / 200 Hard Act 4 clears before guarantee
• Raid Shop Trait Reroll bundles help optimize before burning Gems

Act 4 is a long farm; finish pity before committing cubes elsewhere. Akaza's Bracelet (~1% on Act 4) feeds the evolve path. Cloner can outperform Superior on Akaza when self-revive clones sustain the boss timer, test both before dumping every Trait Shard.

Boss Hunter DPS

Unlock: Evolve base Akaza after Mugen Train Raid Act 4 drop

Update 1.5 raid endgame. Upper Moon form with strong sustained DPS on long Mugen Train boss timers. Evolve after the base Secret drops from Akaza.

• Base Akaza drops from Act 4 boss. Easy 0.25% / Hard 0.5%
• Pity: 400 Easy / 200 Hard Act 4 clears before guarantee
• Boss enters a transformation phase at low HP during Act 4
• Efficient loop: clear Acts 1-3 quickly, farm Act 4 boss attempts

Shiny blue variants appear on the Update 1.5 roster. Pair with Leader Skills if your lane is Divine or protagonist-heavy. Same trait tip as base Akaza: try Cloner before committing to Superior if clones keep the boss timer covered.

Lane DPS

Unlock: Update 1.5 Demon Slayer banner

Banner Mythic for Update 1.5: solid lane DPS before awakening; plan mats for Sun Breathing Tanjiro rather than cubing the base form long-term.

Banner unit: budget cubes separately from Mugen Train Akaza farming stamina.

Lane DPS

Unlock: Evolve banner Tanjiro with Update 1.5 mats

Awakened Tanjiro: primary banner carry for Demon Slayer lanes with higher burst than the base Mythic pull.

• Summon base Tanjiro from the Update 1.5 Demon Slayer banner
• Evolve into Sun Breathing form after awakening mats are online
• Protagonist tag gets Leader Skill Protagonist Bonus (+5% team damage)

Shiny blue variant on the new roster. Roll Superior or Lethal once he is your intended main lane.

Boss DPS

Unlock: Squadron Stage progression. Update 1.0

Secret from the new Squadron ladder in Update 1.0: a stage-grind unlock rather than a banner pull. Strong boss-focused kit once the Squadron acts are cleared.

Farm the Update 1.0 Squadron route before spending cubes on banner Secrets with overlapping roles.

Hybrid DPS

Unlock: Battle Pass. Update 1.0 season

Battle Pass reward unit from the 1.0 season, worth completing pass missions alongside Invasion farming if you need a fresh DPS slot without banner RNG.

Battle Pass companion to Vergil, finish pass missions alongside Invasion if you want both without banner RNG.

Speed DPS

Unlock: Battle Pass. Update 1.0 season

Companion Battle Pass pick to Dante, fast melee pressure for mid-to-late Acts while you grind Broly or Gogeta routes.

Still unlockable through Battle Pass progress; the 1.0 launch window is over, but pass rewards stay tied to pass tiers.

DPS

Unlock: Standard summon banner. Update 1.0

New banner Legendary from Update 1.0: a pullable alternative while saving currency for Gogeta or Invasion progression.

Mid-game lane filler unless traits and gear already support a long-term carry.

Support DPS

Unlock: Standard summon banner. Update 1.0

Banner Legendary added in 1.0: utility-oriented kit for players rolling the standard pool during the patch window.

Lower priority than Battle Pass Dante/Vergil or Invasion/Broly investment.

Banner DPS

Unlock: Special banner, 0.005% Secret rate; complete Divine Quest after pull

Update 1.0 banner chase, separate from Gometa (SSJ4). Highest summon RNG in the patch; Divine evolution unlocks after a long gear-and-stage checklist.

• Summon base Gogeta from the Update 1.0 special banner first
• Divine Quest: craft 20 gear pieces
• Clear any stage 250 times
• Trigger Exposing/Vulnerable on enemies
• Spawn units at Goa Base 2,000 times

Do not confuse with Gometa (SSJ4): that route uses Goki + Vegata and Primal Core. Save premium currency if you are committed to this 0.005% pull.

Bruiser DPS

Unlock: Invasion Mode progression, then Broly Gear + Divine Quest

Update 1.0 Invasion carry, farm Broly Gear from Infernal Land Mass, equip the full set, then clear the Divine Quest objectives before awakening to Divine.

• Complete Broly Invasion 20 times
• Clear Broly Invasion solo 5 times
• Deal 500 million total damage
• Equip full Broly Gear set (Hair, Jacket, Pants)
• Complete 450 affinity waves while using Broly

Invasion runs have a 20-minute timer, prioritize sustained DPS on the 10M HP boss. Expect multiple Infernal Land Mass clears before the gear set drops.

DPS

Unlock: Hero Hunter Challenge milestones and event shop

Base form of the 0.75 crit carry, usable mid-event, but Meteoric Burst awakening unlocks the Challenger mark loop.

Budget Baras Coins for awakening before spending on cosmetic shop items.

Crit DPS

Unlock: Awaken Baras with Hero Hunter event mats and Baras Coins

Water-element crit carry, marks the highest-HP enemy as Challenger and snowballs Crit Chance, Crit DMG, and cooldown reduction through sustained hits.

Needs Superior trait and crit gear to peak, higher ceiling than Garu but more gear-dependent. Spend Baras Coins on awakening mats before rerolling unrelated units.

Tank

Unlock: Hero Hunter Challenge (Normal), 1% drop, 100-clear pity

Pre-awakening Mythic from the 0.75 Hero Hunter arc, durable lane holder until you farm mats for Garu (Half Monster).

Not the same unit as Garu (Half Monster), awaken before slotting on hard Hero Hunter lanes.

Tank / Sub DPS

Unlock: Awaken Garu with Hero Hunter challenge mats

Update 0.75 frontline, survives lethal hits, redirects stuns, and scales damage with enemy debuffs after awakening.

• Permanent stun immunity after awakening
• Stun Redirect: stun attempts grant nearest ally +10% Defense and reflect 65% base damage to the attacker
• Mark after three hits, prolongs debuffs and enables Hero Hunter scaling

Farm Normal Hero Hunter Challenge, 1% Garu drop with 100-clear pity. Pair with other debuffers for Mark + status synergy.

Tank DPS

Unlock: Eclipse (Before) Squadron Act 4: higher drop rate on Hard

Eclipse-arc tank with high base HP, worth farming once Raids unlock, but plan the Enraged awakening before treating him as a main carry.

Repeat Act 4 on Hard with a fast clear team; Dragon Slayer only drops from Hard Act 4.

Tank DPS

Unlock: Awaken Berserker with the Dragon Slayer craft and Eclipse mats

Frontline bruiser from the Eclipse arc, absorbs pressure while swinging through blockades. Strong pick once the Enraged awakening is online.

Farm Eclipse Squadron Act 4 on Hard for the base unit before grinding awakening mats.

Support / Economy

Unlock: Basic or Selection Banner, very low rate when featured

Mythic support that prints Yen and hands dodge buffs to nearby allies, pull before rerolling traits on your main DPS if income is still tight.

Selection Banner unlocks at level 10, rate improves when Falcon is the featured unit.

Support / Economy

Unlock: Awaken Falcon with the Cavalry Saber craft and Eclipse mats

Awakened support that layers Yen income with team-wide dodge, a second economy slot when Fastwagon is already deployed elsewhere.

• Finishes normal enemies below a low HP threshold instantly
• Each fallen ally raises that execute threshold slightly, up to a hard cap

Cavalry Saber drops from Eclipse Squadron Chapter 3 with a long-run pity counter.

DPS

Unlock: Gacha: awaken from base Vegata

Fusion component and mid-game carry, low ultimate cost keeps him on the field while you grind Primal Core.

Keep leveling for Gometa even after he loses the main lane, both fusion parents must be maxed.

Main DPS

Unlock: Primal Fusion: clear the Primal Core achievement checklist, then fuse fully leveled Goki (SSJ4 Full Power) and Vegata (SSJ4 Full Power)

Endgame fusion carry, holds lanes in Story, Raids, and Infinite once Primal Core is done. Highest cube and gear priority on most accounts.

• Primal Core requirements: endure 500 waves in Infinite Mode
• Clear 100 Raids
• Beat GT City Raid Act 4 twenty times

Fusion is irreversible planning, level Goki and Vegata together to avoid a half-ready fuse.

Starter DPS

Unlock: Gacha / basic banner

Pre-awakening base form, keep only as a stepping stone toward Goki (SSJ4 Full Power), not as a long-term carry.

Not the same unit as Goki (SSJ4 Full Power), awaken the Legendary form for anti-air lanes and the Gometa fusion route.

Anti-Air DPS

Unlock: Gacha: awaken to SSJ4 with Eclipse God Stone and Gold

Mandatory anti-air and half of the Gometa fusion, run him on flyer lanes, not as a generic ground replacement.

Ground units suffer -35% Accuracy against flying targets, pair with combat-modes lane notes before Act leaks.

Economy

Unlock: Gacha / early banner

Only unit whose job is Yen, without him, expensive S-tier deploys arrive too late in the wave.

Pull before chasing another Legendary DPS, income is harder to replace than damage. Outfit him with the Money Maker set from the Merchant when it rotates in. Fastwagon's job is Yen, not raw DPS slots.

Support

Unlock: Basic / Selection Banner · awaken into Shinks (Emperor)

Banner Mythic support base. Useful aura body early; the Update 5 keeper is Shinks (Red Hair).

Base Shinks is not the endgame amp. Awaken to Emperor for mid-game, then chase Red Hair for permanent map-wide Shake.

Support / Control

Unlock: Awaken base Shinks (Marine Lobby mats; Gryphon key from Squadron Act 3)

Mid-game support stop: −15% enemy damage and −10% Dodge aura. Fine until Shinks (Red Hair) replaces the slot.

Not Shinks (Red Hair). Farm Gryphon on Marine Lobby Squadron Act 3 (~2.5% Normal / 5% Hard, 50-clear pity) before dumping cubes.

Tank

Unlock: Gacha / campaign

Damage sponge for redirect mechanics, value climbs in Hard Raids where chip damage is constant.

Support

Unlock: Gacha / banner pull

Cooldown aura for spam-heavy lineups, niche unless your carry is skill-gap limited.

Test with your main DPS before rerolling cubes, not every unit benefits from CDR.

Speed DPS

Unlock: Gacha / basic banner

Common pull with faster attack cadence than most starters, helpful for the first Acts but overtaken quickly.

Fine as an early speed-clear slot; stop cubing once any Mythic or Legendary DPS lands.

Bruiser

Unlock: Gacha / campaign · base for Father / Young lines

Low-investment bruiser with a screen-wide ultimate, fine until a Secret or Mythic tank shows up.

Not Big Beard (Young). Father is the old awaken; Young is the Update 5 AoE keeper.

Tank / DPS

Unlock: Awaken base Big Beard (Bisento / Marine Lobby mats)

Older Big Beard awaken. Missing-HP Defense bumps and a wide ultimate, fully outclassed by Big Beard (Young) in Update 5.

Keep only if Young is not online yet. Recycle cubes to Young or a true tank once available.

Healer

Unlock: Gacha / campaign

Front-line healing for learning Acts, overheal cannot keep pace with endgame boss burst.

Starter DPS

Unlock: Gacha / basic banner · base for Ramuru (Dragon)

Frequent early-banner DPS, fills a lane cheaply but scales poorly once wave HP ramps.

Not Ramuru (Dragon). Recycle base Ramuru for Gold once the Divine Dragon form is online.

Summoner DPS

Unlock: Limited banner, 0.05% drop rate (20,000-summon hard pity is the default calculator preset, edit if your client differs)

Banner chase for Infinite grinders, shadow soldiers ramp mana and damage the longer a wave survives. Weaker burst than Gometa in short Raid timers.

Pair with Cloner on the traits page; awaken via Monarch Daggers after the pull. Banner hard pity uses a ~20,000-summon default preset, use the calculator Banner tab and edit if your client differs.

Boss Hunter

Unlock: Ultimate Evil Raid, 25% drop rate (Hard difficulty ~0.5%)

Raid-focused Secret with a steep Yen deploy cost, incredible once Maximum Yen is online, awkward on fresh accounts.

• Elemental Cycle rotates Fire Mode and Ice Mode every 30 seconds
• Basic attacks apply Corruption, 15% damage over 10 seconds
• Fire Mode: +30% Corruption DOT damage
• Ice Mode: corrupted enemies lose 25% movement speed

See combat-modes for Ultimate Evil HP benchmarks before committing cubes.

Hybrid DPS / Tank

Unlock: Evolve Puppeteer from Katakara challenge materials

High-end evolution unit with strong frontline durability and sustained damage, making it a stable carry in longer runs.

Resource-heavy to evolve; prioritize after your economy slot and one primary carry are stable.

Starter DPS

Unlock: Basic gacha

Early Act spawn filler, replace at the first B-tier or higher pull for that lane.

Hybrid

Unlock: Gacha / early campaign

Mid-Act placeholder: crit stun helps briefly, stats flatline before Raids unlock.

Filler

Unlock: Gacha / campaign

Third-slot warm body, no farm route justifies investment.

Starter filler only. Not Zaro (Weno) or Zaro (King Of Hell) from Update 5.0 Oniganshina.

Starter

Unlock: Starter roster / basic gacha

Tutorial-era unit: only useful as a zero-cost body during the first hour.

Starter

Unlock: Starter roster

Lowest ceiling on the roster, swap out before spending any Stat Cubes.

Filler

Unlock: Gacha / campaign

Starter swordsman with no late-game payoff, temporary body only.

Gold fodder: do not invest Stat Cubes. Not Asta from Devil Capsules or Asto (Black).

Filler

Unlock: Gacha / campaign

Early roster warm body, stats flatline before mid-game Acts finish.

Gold fodder when a better lane DPS appears.

Filler

Unlock: Gacha / campaign

Rubber-body brawler with no scaling hooks, swap out at the first real pull.

Starter filler only. The Update 5 keepers are Muffy (Nika) and Muffy (Gear 5); recycle base Muffy for Gold once that line is online.
