What Is Anime Squadron Rudaus?
Rudaus is the support pick for squads that already have damage but still feel too slow between attacks or skills. Tier lists place Rudaus around the A-tier support group and points to cooldown value, which gives it a different job from a main DPS: Rudaus helps other units act more often instead of trying to carry the lane alone. Beebom places Rudaus in A tier. Destructoid lists Rudaus as a good early support unit and says Cloner helps its value. Games.GG describes Rudaus as a cooldown-reduction support with synergy value, while animesquadron.org also groups it with cooldown and synergy support. The practical read is clear: use Rudaus when the team has a real damage unit to speed up. Rudaus cannot fix a roster that lacks damage, money, or a frontliner. Rudaus is strongest when the account is between starter clears and full endgame setups. It can help a Goki, Karashi, Vegata, Woo, or another carry attack more often, especially in runs where waves are barely surviving. Once Shinks or a stronger support setup is ready, compare the actual cooldown gain, placement cost, and field slot value before keeping Rudaus in the final lineup.
How To Get Rudaus In Anime Squadron
Rudaus can show up through the summon banner, unit index, event menus, stage reward panels, or a support-unit reward tab. If Rudaus appears in a banner, the banner rate and pity screen decide the cost. If it appears in a stage or event panel, that reward display is the better route than spending gems on summons.
Anime Squadron Rudaus Abilities
Rudaus is used for cooldown support. Its value comes from helping nearby or linked units act more often, based on the card wording. The card shows cooldown percentage, target count, range, uptime, support-skill cooldown, placement cap, upgrade prices, and stacking rules. Rudaus works as a pacing support, not a lane-clearing DPS. Rudaus's listed passive is Arcane Wisdom: Reduces cooldown of nearby allies by 15%. That passive gives nearby ally cooldown support. The unit card shows the current timing and percentage after patches.
Anime Squadron Rudaus Pros and Cons
Pros
- Speeds up carry units: Rudaus matters when the team already has a DPS that almost clears waves but needs more attacks, skill uptime, or cycle speed. It can make a real carry feel better without replacing that carry.
- Fits early support slots: Destructoid calls Rudaus a good early support. That makes it a practical slot while the account is still missing Shinks or a stronger late-game support setup.
Cons
- Needs a carry beside it: Rudaus does not solve low damage by itself. If the main DPS cannot kill waves even with more uptime, the team can chase a stronger carry before investing too much into Rudaus.
- Live support rules: Cooldown support can change a lot depending on range, target count, stacking, uptime, and placement cap. Players need the live card before deciding whether Rudaus beats another support slot.

More Ways To Get Rudaus In Anime Squadron
- Live summon and reward screens: Look for Rudaus in the current summon banner, unit index, event rewards, stage reward panels, and support-unit tabs. the game UI shows whether Rudaus is a pull, event reward, stage reward, or rerun unit.
- Trait rerolls wait: Trait rerolls stay saved or duplicate copies until the roster has a damage unit worth supporting. Rudaus needs another unit to benefit from its cooldown role, so the first check is whether the account has a carry that gains from faster uptime.

Where Rudaus Ranks
Tier
Tier List
Reason
B
Anime Squadron Beginner Units Tier List
Rudaus ranks B because he can fill a damage slot while a beginner roster is thin. He does not need to be the first major investment once Goki, Vegata, Karashi, or a secret unit appears, but he can keep story progression from stalling.
C
Anime Squadron Raid and Infinite Units Tier List
Rudaus ranks C because he is a temporary damage slot for teams still assembling their hard-mode core. He loses priority once any S or A raid unit is available.
A
Anime Squadron Support and Economy Units Tier List
Rudaus ranks A because cooldown help can improve high-end setups that depend on ability uptime. He is less universal than Fastwagon or Shinks, but he becomes valuable when the team already has damage and needs more frequent activations.
C
Anime Squadron Tank Units Tier List
Rudaus ranks C because cooldown help can support survival indirectly, but he is not the unit meant to absorb pressure. He fits specific setups and loses tank priority when the team needs direct damage redirection, HP, dodge, or regeneration.
B
Anime Squadron Unit Tier List
Rudaus ranks B as a serviceable progression unit when the roster lacks higher-tier DPS or support. He is not an early pull to delete immediately, but he loses investment priority once Goki, Vegata, Karashi, or any S-tier unit appears because those units scale into more important modes.
When to field it
Rudaus fits when enemies are close to dying but the carry attacks too slowly. If the lane survives after a few extra cycles, Rudaus can be the missing support piece. If enemies still walk through with higher uptime, the roster needs more damage or a tank instead.
Team fit
Rudaus pairs best with a carry that already has clear damage value, such as Goki forms, Karashi for farming, Vegata while progressing, Woo, or another owned DPS. Fastwagon can fund early setup, Shield Hero can hold leaks, and Rudaus can help the damage unit cycle faster.
Trait target
Cloner is the trait to watch because Destructoid links it with Rudaus support value. Cooldown, uptime, or duplicate-placement traits if the live trait screen shows they increase support uptime. pure damage rerolls for the unit doing the killing stays saved.
What the game card shows
The live card for Rudaus shows cooldown reduction amount, buff range, target count, uptime, stacking rules, placement cap, upgrade prices, and whether the support affects all units or only nearby placements. Then test whether the carry actually clears faster with Rudaus on the field.
Passive details
The card shows Arcane Wisdom on the live unit card before changing traits or gear. The effect is Reduces cooldown of nearby allies by 15%, so the unit can be tested around that trigger rather than a generic DPS or tank label.
