Anime Origins Tier List – Best Units [RELEASE]
Anime Origins units are ranked by Ground DPS, Hybrid/Hill DPS and support value, with the strongest choices described as “Meta” options for difficult late-game content.
– Madaro (Edo Tensei): top Hybrid/Hill DPS, combining heavy damage, marks that repeatedly explode, stuns and strong end-game potential.– Bon (Purgatory): powerful Hybrid support from raids, offering damage, buffs and an income-boosting passive.– Vegita (Super): recommended as the best Hill DPS for both beginners and late-game players, especially against flying enemies.– Aneko (Queen): a useful early Hill DPS and support unit, valued particularly for stuns.– Itsoda: a Legendary Hill unit suited to early and mid-game progression.– Cursed Lover (Pure Love): a leading Ground DPS whose effectiveness improves when copying other strong units.– Bluma (Data Analyst): regarded as the best farming unit; Leorio is a cheaper alternative.– Itaki, Choto and Rose: suggested beginner Ground DPS units, while Ishida and Itsoda are recommended for Hill DPS.
In short
- Madaro, Bon and Vegita are highlighted as leading units.
- Vegita is the main beginner recommendation against flying enemies.
- Bluma is the preferred income-generating farm unit.
Explained simply
Anime Origins is a tower defence game in which players place units to stop waves of enemies. Units differ in the damage they deal, the areas they can attack and the help they give their team. Ground units target enemies on the ground, while Hill units can attack from raised positions and often reach flying enemies.
Players build teams for different stages, including harder late-game challenges. Some units focus on damage, while support units can provide buffs or help players earn in-game currency; farming units are chosen to improve those earnings. The rankings compare these roles, with options aimed at both newer players and those progressing further.
The names draw on anime characters, but their usefulness depends on their abilities in the game. Some units are easier to obtain or use early on, while others need a developed team to show their full value. These distinctions matter when players decide which units to seek out and how to spend their resources.
