Baldy and King of Curses lead Anime Final Strike pure DPS for early Update 5. Max Passive Leona (Incarnate), Shanks (Conqueror), and Toeji Spear fill out the rest of SS with the next-highest listed damage.
This ranking is attack strength only: Attack, Range, Attack Speed, and listed DPS. It is not a support list, not a farm list, and not an official Yappers Studios balance sheet. Numbers follow an early Update 5 editorial snapshot (13 Aug 2026). Live branding can already show Update 5 / 5.5 Espada changes, so recheck in-game after patches.
Max Passive rows and Toeji weapon modes (Spear, Katana, Chain) count as separate ranks. The same unit can jump a full letter once the passive is maxed. Pair strong attackers with solid traits when you roll them, and burn spare gems from Anime Final Strike codes on banners that actually move your DPS.
Wiki names sometimes differ from the labels below (Ace / Acu, Shanks / Red Pirate, Smoker / White Hunter, Garp / Gorp, Whitebeard / Whitebard, and similar). The names here match the DPS tables used for placement.

SS Tier
| Image | Unit | Attack | Range | Attack Speed | DPS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baldy | Inf | Inf | Inf | Inf |
| King of Curses | 16,973 | 14 | 33s | 18,383.14 |
| Leona (Incarnate) [Max Passive] | 25,740 | 2.9 | 31.2s | 12,426.20 |
| Falcon (Reincarnated) | 12,710 | 8 | 38s | 10,801.00 |
| Shanks (Conqueror) [Max Passive] | 50,775 | 5 | 43s | 10,152.00 |
| Toeji (Sorcerer Killer) - Spear [Max Passive] | 35,721 | 5.1 | 40.2s | 9,105.30 |
| Hero Slayer (Monster) | 44,868 | 5.4 | 26s | 8,309.10 |
| Berserker (Vengeance) | 23,740 | 15 | 28s | 8,201.00 |
SS is the damage ceiling. Baldy lists Inf across Attack, Range, Attack Speed, and DPS, so he sits outside a normal number race.
King of Curses leads the finite chart at about 18,383 DPS with a huge 14 range. Leona (Incarnate) [Max Passive] and Falcon (Reincarnated) keep pressure high. Shanks (Conqueror) [Max Passive] hits hard (50,775 Attack) on a slower cycle. Toeji Spear [Max Passive] is the best Toeji weapon mode on raw DPS. Hero Slayer (Monster) and Berserker (Vengeance) close SS with the next-best finite DPS in the pack.
If you own anything here, build around it. Faster attackers in this pack help more when waves need constant hits, not one giant swing.
S+ Tier
| Image | Unit | Attack | Range | Attack Speed | DPS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toeji (Sorcerer Killer) - Katana [Max Passive] | 45,700 | 9 | 34.5s | 7,616.60 |
| Gojoe (Strongest Sorcerer) [Max Passive] | 67,896 | 10 | 29s | 6,789.00 |
| Cyborg (Advanced) | 21,262 | 5.4 | 25s | 6,299.90 |
| Naname (Overtime) [Max Passive] | 30,573 | 5 | 22s | 6,114.60 |
| Ace (Prisoner) [Max Passive] | 17,523 | 5.2 | 34.5s | 6,065.00 |
| Majesty (Actuation) | 3,846 | 3 | 24s | 6,021.00 |
S+ units still carry boards. Toeji Katana [Max Passive] is the second-best Toeji loadout and almost SS. Gojoe (Strongest Sorcerer) [Max Passive] posts the highest Attack in the pack (67,896) with solid DPS. Cyborg (Advanced) and Naname (Overtime) [Max Passive] attack faster than most peers. Ace (Prisoner) [Max Passive] and Majesty (Actuation) round out S+.
Majesty looks odd on paper (only 3,846 Attack) but lands about 6,021 DPS from a quick 24s cycle. Trust the listed math; do not invent a different Attack line without a new snapshot.
Chase SS first. Keep S+ as your main damage spine when the Inf and SS names are still missing.
S Tier
| Image | Unit | Attack | Range | Attack Speed | DPS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Captain (Dimension Slayer) [Max Passive] | 13,084 | 2.2 | 31.7s | 5,947.27 |
| Gojoe (Strongest Sorcerer) | 59,040 | 10 | 29s | 5,904.00 |
| Jolis (Wizard King) [Max Passive] | 42,570 | 7.3 | 28.8s | 5,831.51 |
| Benomaru (Crimson Commander) | 21,640 | 6.8 | 41.5s | 5,728.20 |
| Vasto Lorde [Max Passive] | 18,000 | 9.5 | 35s | 5,494.74 |
| Whitebeard (Captain) | 51,000 | 10 | 27.5s | 5,477.00 |
| Naname (Overtime) | 26,586 | 5 | 22s | 5,317.20 |
| Asto (Half Demon) [Max Passive] | 24,862 | 4.7 | 28.2s | 5,289.79 |
| Toeji (Sorcerer Killer) - Chain [Max Passive] | 39,420 | 12.75 | 28.75s | 5,256.00 |
| Toeji (Sorcerer Killer) - Spear | 23,814 | 6 | 35s | 5,159.70 |
| Smoker (Seastone) [Max Passive] | 15,930 | 3.2 | 60.9s | 4,978.12 |
| Todo (Clap) [Max Passive] | 12,479 | 4.25 | 28s | 4,404.35 |
S clears most Story and everyday content when traits and placement are clean. Dark Captain [Max Passive] leads the tier. Base Gojoe is only a step under his Max Passive S+ form. Jolis [Max Passive], Benomaru, Vasto Lorde [Max Passive], and Whitebeard (Captain) are classic heavy hitters that still punch in Update 5.
Watch the Toeji splits: Chain [Max Passive] and base Spear land in S, while Spear Max Passive lives in SS and Katana Max Passive in S+. Smoker (Seastone) [Max Passive] (wiki: White Hunter) is slow (60.9s) but still S on listed DPS. Todo (Clap) [Max Passive] sits at the bottom of S around 4,404 DPS.
If your roster is mostly S, you are fine for standard progression. Push Max Passives on these names before filling every A-slot.
A Tier

| Chihiroe (Vengeful) | 20,624 | 5 | 27s | 4,547.90 |

| Dark Captain (Dimension Slayer) | 10,065 | 2.6 | 26.4s | 3,871.15 |
| Noile (Valkyrie Armor) [Max Passive] | 27,456 | 7.2 | 33.5s | 3,813.33 |
| Asto (Half Demon) | 19,890 | 5.3 | 25.6s | 3,752.83 |
| Youji [Max Passive] | 13,038 | 3.5 | 25s | 3,725.10 |
| Haumia (Mindbreaker) | 7,620 | 4.2 | 17s | 3,719.29 |
| Fire Hashira (Aflame) [Max Passive] | 11,154 | 5.4 | 30s | 3,718.50 |
| Leona (Incarnate) | 12,870 | 4.9 | 24s | 3,677.10 |
| Shinro (Devil's Footprints) | 12,675 | 6.4 | 32s | 3,564.00 |
A is good damage that rarely leads a late board by itself. Chihiroe (Vengeful) tops A near 4,548 DPS, slightly above S-floor Todo on raw number, but stays A with the rest of this attack-profile pack.
Garp (The Fist) [Max Passive] (wiki: Gorp), base Toeji Katana, and Super Roku (Ascended) [Max Passives] are strong mid-high fillers. Emperor lists a tiny 21 Attack with 0.5 range yet still about 4,200 DPS in the table, so read the full row, not Attack alone.
Maheto [With Summons] ranks higher than base Maheto. Base Vasto Lorde, Jolis, Dark Captain, Asto, Leona, and Shinro show how hard Max Passive jumps matter: each has a stronger twin above.
Use A units to fill lanes and range gaps while you chase SS, S+, and S banners.
B Tier

| Fire Hashira (Aflame) | 7,800 | 5.4 | 30s | 2,600.00 |
| Kabuto King | 10,764 | 5.4 | 41s | 2,591.30 |
B still contributes, especially with upgrades, but the DPS gap from A is obvious. Minoto [Max Passive], Super Roku [First Passive], and Vesh (Guns) [Max Passive] lead the tier.
Kabuto King sits here on detailed DPS (2,591), even when some quick overviews park the name in C. Prefer the number over the overview label.
Older secret-unit hype around Vesh does not match Update 5 pure DPS: Guns tops out in B, and Cross falls to C. Kizaru (War) (wiki: Kaziru), Arrow, Jokar, Tornado, and Esdeath (wiki: Esudesu) are fine when you need their shape, not when you are still missing S+ attackers.
Park B pieces for cover and range. Do not spend limited gems just to star a B name if an SS, S+, or S banner is live.

| 13th Commander | 18,705 | 12.2 | 40s | 1,533.20 |
C is where pure DPS stops being a reason to invest heavily. Inumaki (Cursed Speech) (wiki: Inumaka) leads C. Komado [Max Passive], base Maheto, and Yano follow.
Sogo King is ranked here on listed DPS (2,253) even without a clean portrait in the overview strip. Acu (Prisoner) is the base form of Ace; Max Passive Ace lives in S+. Vesh (Cross) modes, Ulquiora, and 13th Commander close the tier.
Keep C units you already own for filler. Replace them once SS, S+, or S damage is online.
D Tier

| - | Coyote (Number One) | 634 | 30.4 | 4.7s | 134.89 |
D is the bottom of this pure-DPS chart. Tobito, Akoza, and Sasoke Hebi (Taka) lead a low pack. Ice Admiral forms, Marco (Phoenix) (wiki: Marko), and Sengoku (Saint) (wiki: Buddha) sit mid-D.
Magma Admiral (Absolute Justice) lands near 750 DPS here. Older role or Infinite-focused lists sometimes valued Magma for AOE and mode work. That is a different question than raw attack strength, so a low letter here does not ban the unit from support-style boards.
Also ranked in D without overview portraits: Ice Captain (Dragon), Ichiko (Chained), Wizard (Witch), Tirabell (Shark), Manipulator (Monster), and Coyote (Number One). Their listed DPS sits under 675, with Coyote last around 135.
Do not chase D for damage. Run them only if you already own them and need a body on the path.
What this DPS list does not rank
Farm units such as Yuneko and Namu are outside this chart on purpose. You still want income units for long grinds; they just do not belong on a pure attack ladder.
Support, crowd control, and Infinite-meta team picks can disagree with these letters. Magma Admiral, some Vesh forms, and utility heroes may feel better in real clears than a D or B DPS rank suggests. Rank teams for the mode you play. Attack and speed math alone miss farm, support, and utility.
Traits amplify whoever you already trust. These ranks do not cover traits or print roll rates.
Treat the board as an early Update 5 pure-DPS snapshot. When a patch reworks numbers or adds a new Secret line, re-test your main attackers in-game before locking gem plans to any single letter.
