This Anime Squadron tier list is a frozen Update 3.5 snapshot covering the 69 units placed in the Update 3.5 source snapshot. Start with S Tier for the broadest investment, then use A Tier when a unit's role fits your stage or team better.
Scope note: This list covers the 69 units placed in the Update 3.5 source snapshot. Asto (Devil) was mentioned but not placed, so it is not assigned a tier. Later patches can change these rankings.
The ranking weighs practical damage, ability and passive uptime, placement potential, cost efficiency, support value, team synergy, survivability, control, scaling, and consistency. It does not promise current Update 4 performance.

| Tsanada (Hakage) | Broad endgame investment |
| Fastwagon | Broad endgame investment |
These are the broadest priorities in this snapshot. Goju (Six Eyes) is the high-ceiling damage and tank anchor, while Diro (The World) adds control. Asto (Black), Sakuna (Curse), and Yuto (Curse Spirit) cover boss pressure, scaling, copying, buffing, and durability. Rizzuto (Six Path), 3B (YaRHa), Nazaka (Berserk), and Tsanada (Hakage) add defensive, healing, cleanse, accuracy, dodge, stun, or revival utility. Fastwagon is the economy choice, so it can matter even when it is not your main damage unit.

D Tier
| Image | Unit | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Michigo | Limited or early-progression option |
| Asto | Limited or early-progression option |
| Goki (Base) | Limited or early-progression option |
| Mab | Limited or early-progression option |

How to use this tier list when building a team
Choose the problem first: main damage, boss damage, crowd control, tanking, support or healing, economy, or a low-cost progression slot. Begin with S Tier when you want the widest value, then move to A Tier when its role fits the stage better. B Tier can fill a missing specialty, while C and D are best treated as lower-priority choices rather than automatic rejects. Summon, upgrade, evolve, and test the unit in the mode you play, then check the patch label before committing resources.
Update 3.5 scope and exclusions
This page intentionally freezes the Update 3.5 placement snapshot. Asto (Devil) was mentioned but not placed, so it has no tier. Shadow Atomic and the Update 4 additions Michigo (Horn of Salvation), Jyn (Monkey King), Rakia (Ice Queen), Bambi (The Explode), Yumamoto (Commander), Yubacha (The Almighty), Kanpachi (Beast), and Yaruichi (Flash Goddess) are outside this ranking.
