Anime Squadron Evolution Priority Tier List
This Anime Squadron evolution priority tier list ranks which evolved units and progression paths deserve scarce materials first in the June 2026 release. It focuses on long-term account value, late-game damage, support coverage, grind cost, and whether an evolution keeps paying off in Story, Raid, Infinite, and farming teams.
Version: June 2026 release
Evolution priority gives the most weight to units that keep paying off after the first clear and can carry more than one mode. Top placements require late-game damage, team utility, or role compression that justifies the material cost. Bridge evolutions rank lower when their main job is unlocking a stronger path or keeping a mid-game account alive until a secret or higher-ceiling unit is ready.
One Evolution Target Can Fix More Than One Mode
Evolution materials are harder to replace than a few early unit levels, so the best first target matters in more than one place. Gometa, Puppeteer, and Shanron sit at the top because they are tied to late-game damage, frontline value, support coverage, or role compression. A unit that only helps one early clear drops below a path that keeps working in Raid, Infinite, and farming.
Bridge Evolutions Still Earn Their Materials
Goki and Vegata have real bridge value for a progressing account because they point toward stronger late-game routes and can keep a team moving while better secrets are missing. They rank below the top evolution targets because their value changes once the account has Gometa, Puppeteer, Shanron, or another top carry ready for materials.
Rarity Alone Does Not Make A First Evolution
Rarity alone is not enough for S tier. Anime Squadron rewards units that turn materials into wave control, boss damage, money timing, or slot efficiency. If a rare unit needs too much setup and does not fix the current failed run, those materials pay off better on a higher-ceiling evolution or a support piece that makes the full team work.
Anime Squadron Evolution Priority Tier List FAQ
Who should players evolve first in Anime Squadron?
Gometa is the best first long-term evolution target when the account can reach the path. He gives the clearest carry payoff, while Puppeteer and Shanron are top choices once a player needs frontline value or mixed-role endgame coverage.
Is Shanron worth evolving before a main DPS?
Shanron moves ahead when the team already has enough damage and needs role compression. If bosses are surviving too long, the main carry path stays first and Shanron rises after damage checks are under control.
Are Goki and Vegata worth evolution materials?
Yes, but mainly as bridge paths. They help progression and connect to better late-game planning, while Gometa, Puppeteer, and Shanron still take the first rare materials when those paths are available.
Should farming units be evolved before damage units?
Only when money timing is the wall. If the account cannot afford upgrades, a farming or economy path can move up; if waves or bosses are killing the run, damage and mixed-role evolutions stay ahead.
