Anime Paradox: Ultimate Meta Tier List & Unit Guide
In the ever-evolving landscape of Roblox tower defense games, Anime Paradox has quickly established a meta that rewards strategic unit synergy and high-scaling DPS. As of early 2026, the game differentiates between heavy hitters and essential utility units.
Below is the definitive tier list for the current meta, breaking down who to summon for and who to bench.
DPS Tier List: The Heavy Hitters
The primary goal for DPS units in the current meta is scaling. In late-game modes like Siege and Raid, raw damage numbers matter less than status effects (like Bleed) and AoE (Area of Effect).
| Tier | Unit Name | Role / Best For |
| S+ | Storrk (Resurreccion) | Absolute Meta; Highest range and boss-melting potential. |
| S+ | Zid (Atomic) | Full-map AoE; Tanky and clears waves instantly when upgraded. |
| S | Sun Jin Wu (Monarch) | Secret Unit; Infinite scaling and massive damage ramp-up. |
| S | Igrus (Elite Knight) | Bleed DPS; Incredible synergy with SJW and high self-sustain. |
| A | Brolu (Super) | Stacking DPS; Gains power per kill, though lacks utility. |
| A | Kirrua (Godspeed) | Speed & CC; High attack speed and reliable stuns. |
| B | Eryu (Antithesis) | Boss Killer; Strong single-target but weak against waves. |
| C/D | Megomun / Chae-In | Early game only; Suffer from long cooldowns or poor scaling. |
Support Tier List: The Game Changers
You cannot survive the late-game "Nightmare" stages on raw power alone. Support units provide the healing, slow, and currency buffs necessary to keep your towers alive.
- S+ Tier (Essential):
- Sprintcart: The premier money-making unit. Essential for early placement of expensive Mythics.
- Idol (Pop): Provides massive AoE healing and cooldown reduction (CDR) buffs.
- Oroheme: The strongest pure healer in the game.
- S Tier (Utility):
- Ulquiarro (Murcielago): Offers a "Fear" slow that significantly delays enemy waves.
- Shadow Vampire: Great for stalling and easy to obtain via the AFK Chamber.
Quick Start Guide: How to Progress Fast
To reach the top of the tier list without spending a fortune in Robux, follow this priority list:
Redeem Codes: Use current codes like
GEMSBUFFED!andGIVEGEMSPLEASEto secure at least one Mythic early on.Farm Legend Stages: These are the most efficient way to farm Gems for summons once you clear the story acts.
Prioritize Traits: Don't just settle for a high-rarity unit. Use your Trait Rerolls to hunt for "Celestial" or "God" rolls, as a well-traited A-Tier unit can often outperform a poorly-traited S-Tier.
Ascension: Keep your duplicates! Use them along with Gold and Gems to "Ascend" your units, increasing their star level and base stats.
