Anime Squadron Secret Units Tier List

Anime Squadron secret unit priority in the June 2026 release focuses on the chase units that change Raid, Infinite, farming, and final team building. Gometa, Puppeteer, Woo, Madora, Shanron, and other late-game targets are judged by payoff, role compression, grind cost, and whether they deserve pity, challenge farming, rare traits, and gear.

Secret Unit Tier Rankings In Anime Squadron

S Tier

Rank Name Reason

S1 Gometa (SSJ4)
Featured Gometa ranks S on the secret and late-game chase list because he is the clearest all-mode prize: damage, durability, regeneration, and dodge all matter after simple story clears stop being enough. Even if another secret wins a specific farm route, Gometa is the safest account-defining target.

S2 Puppeteer (Transcendent)
Featured Puppeteer ranks S because the Aizen release added a high-end frontliner that can deal damage while taking pressure. He sits behind Gometa only because his current role profile shows him as a slightly weaker version of that same tanky DPS idea, not because he lacks endgame value.

S3 Woo (Shadow)
Featured Woo ranks S because banner secret DPS and fast-clear value make him one of the best chase units for farming and late-game teams. He is less of a defensive answer than Gometa or Shanron, but his damage profile makes him worth pity-level planning.

S4 Madora (Gunbai)
Featured Madora ranks S because DoT damage gives him a distinct late-game identity instead of being only another burst unit. He is a top chase when bosses or long waves reward sustained pressure, but players focused on simple early progression can prepare economy first.

S5 Shanron (Omega)
Featured Shanron ranks S because he can contribute damage, tanking, support, and DoT pressure, which makes him valuable in endgame teams with limited slots. His cost and evolution path make him a later chase than some carries, but his role compression is too important to rank lower.

A Tier

Rank Name Reason

A1 Rizzuto (Sage) Rizzuto ranks A here because he is a late-game-adjacent unit rather than a true top secret prize. He can carry mid-game and help while bigger chase targets are missing, but he loses priority over the S-tier secret cluster once those routes become available.

A2 Karashi (Sharingan) Karashi ranks A because he remains relevant as a filler and farming-focused unit around late-game teams. He is not a main secret carry, but he supports resource grinding well enough to deserve attention before lower progression units.

B Tier

Rank Name Reason

B1 Goki (SSJ4 Full Power) Goki ranks B on this chase list because his value is tied to progression toward Gometa more than being the final prize himself. He brings usable damage on the path, then premium traits and gear move to the completed top unit once Gometa is ready.

B2 Vegata (SSJ4 Full Power) Vegata ranks B because he helps progression and can work with damage or cost traits, but he is not the secret-level payoff players are usually searching for. He stays built while the S tier cluster is missing, then loses investment priority once the final team takes shape.

C Tier

Rank Name Reason

C1 Shield Hero Shield Hero ranks C on a secret chase page because he is a practical tank, not a late-game chase prize. He can stabilize teams before top units arrive, but he does not belong above units that define raids, Infinite, or farming routes.

How This Secret Unit Tier List Is Ranked

Secret ranks weigh endgame ceiling, role compression, grind pressure, evolution requirements, and whether a unit changes teams enough to justify pity, challenge farming, or rare materials. Puppeteer reads like a new secret-style chase, while Rizzuto, Karashi, Goki, Vegata, and Shield Hero sit lower because bridge units lose value after the real chase units arrive.

Anime Squadron Tier List Notes

A: Late-game support or filler-adjacent units worth using while chasing secrets, but not the final prize.
B: Progression pieces that matter on the way to stronger units and loses final-build resource priority.
C: Practical non-secret roles that help before secrets arrive but fall below real chase value.
D: No D tier chase entries are listed because weak starter filler loses priority before pity, challenge farming time, or rare gear become relevant.
S: True chase units that can define late-game damage, tanking, DoT, or multi-role team slots.

Guide

Anime Squadron Primal Fusion Special Quest Guide

Primal Fusion is a late-game grind, so it feels best after GT City Raid 4 is already repeatable, Infinite does not collapse early, and the required SSJ4 units are close to their awakening route. Read the Special Quest panel before a long session, then upgrade the part of the route that keeps failing.
Guide

Anime Squadron Evolution and Awakening Guide

Evolution and awakening are late investments, so they work best on units that already clear waves, kill bosses, tank pressure, support the team, or improve economy. The menu gives the material and stage details, but the decision starts with the unit's job. If the upgraded form will not change a real clear, the account usually needs traits, perks, gear, or team fixes first.

Anime Squadron Team Progression Guide

Anime Squadron teams fail when a required job is missing. A roster can have rare units and still lose when placement money, boss damage, or leak control is missing. The stage result shows whether the next slot needs damage, survival, support, economy, traits, perks, or gear.

June 2026 Release Context

Anime Squadron is still in its release window. The early roster pattern is clear: Gometa, Puppeteer, Woo, Madora, and Shanron form the late-game top unit cluster, while Shinks and Fastwagon keep their places because support uptime and money timing decide whether those carries can actually clear waves. Balance patches can still move exact numbers, but the practical investment order already gives players a clear path for summons, trait rolls, gear materials, and evolution effort.

How to Read Early Rankings

S tier is the chase group, A tier is the buildable group while secrets or evolutions are still missing, and B tier is the stopgap group for story and mid-game farming. C and D tier entries can stay on a new account for a short time, but rare rerolls, high-tier gear, and long upgrade chains belong on better damage, economy, or support pieces once they appear.

Chase Order

Gometa, Puppeteer, Woo, Madora, and Shanron form the real late-game chase group. Accounts that cannot farm their materials yet can lean on Goki, Vegata, Karashi, Shinks, Fastwagon, or a tank long enough to reach the grind. Rare rerolls lose value on bridge units once the secret route opens.

Anime Squadron Secret Units Tier List FAQ

What is the best secret unit in Anime Squadron?

Gometa is the safest top chase because he brings damage and survival across the most modes. Puppeteer, Woo, Madora, and Shanron are still S-tier prizes.

Is Puppeteer worth grinding?

Yes. Puppeteer is worth grinding for players who can clear Katakara Bridge content and need another tanky DPS for release-era hard modes.

Is Shanron worth building early?

Build Shanron after the economy and core damage are ready. His endgame value is high, but his grind and evolution cost make him a poor first target for a weak account.
