If you’ve jumped into Anime Rangers X, you’ll quickly realize how crucial team composition is for beating tougher stages and boss raids. Unlike classic tower defense games that focus on static placements, Anime Rangers X pushes you to summon units onto the field dynamically, creating fast-paced battles where the right unit choices can mean the difference between victory and a reset.
Whether you’re aiming for leaderboard dominance or simply clearing stages efficiently, our latest Anime Rangers X Tier List (July 2025) breaks down the top performers so you know which characters deserve your gems and rerolls.
How the Tier List Works
This tier list focuses on Legendary-rarity units and higher, as lower-rarity characters (Epic, Rare) often become obsolete once you start pulling stronger units. Characters are ranked from S-Tier (best) to D-Tier (weakest) based on:
- Damage output and DPS potential
- Utility (crowd control, buffs, debuffs)
- Element synergy
- Deployment cost vs. value
- Versatility across different game modes (e.g. Story, Infinite Castle, Raids)
Remember, even lower-tier units can shine in specific setups or events. But if you’re hunting for the strongest meta team, here’s where you should look first.
S-Tier Units
These are the top-tier champions in Anime Rangers X. They boast exceptional damage, fast skills, and excellent elemental coverage for handling diverse enemy types.
| Unit | Element Type | Deployment Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Crimson Owl | Physical, Air, Dark | 2600 |
| Eclipse Sorcerer | Magic, Air, Dark | 1200 |
| Fire Fist | Magic, Air, Fire | 1000 |
| Oldfang Reaver | Physical, Ground, Water | 1000 |
| Bunny | Physical, Ground, Lightning | 450 |
| Shadow Knight | Physical, Ground, Dark | 400 |
| Solar Fist | Physical, Ground, Sun | 1000 |
| Cursed Love | Physical, Ground, Dark | 500 |
| Legendary Saiyan | Physical, Air, Lightning | 2000 |
| Demon Slayer | Physical, Ground, Fire | 200 |
Why Use S-Tier Units?
- Crimson Owl and Oldfang Reaver are newly introduced with powerful abilities like Akuma Oblique and Dial Rush, enabling high burst damage.
- Eclipse Sorcerer and Fire Fist dominate with strong AoE magic damage and low cooldowns.
- Lower-cost S-tier units like Bunny and Shadow Knight are excellent for early waves without sacrificing power.
A-Tier Units
A-tier characters are solid alternatives if you haven’t unlocked the rarest secrets yet. Many A-tier units carry impressive damage and unique elemental combinations, offering versatility across battles.
| Unit | Element Type | Deployment Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Limitless Sorcerer | Magic, Air, Fire | 2000 |
| King of Shadows | Physical, Ground, Dark | 2000 |
| King Curses | Physical, Air, Dark | 800 |
| Knight King | Magic, Ground, Sun | 1000 |
| Molten Phantom | Magic, Air, Fire | 2000 |
| Crow Ninja | Magic, Air, Fire | 2000 |
| String Demon | Physical, Juggernaut, Dark | 1500 |
| Vampire Emperor | Magic, Ground, Ice | 200 |
| Umbrella Ring | Physical, Ground, Dark | 800 |
Highlights:
- Limitless Sorcerer offers strong AoE damage and useful traits like Sovereign and Seraph.
- King Curses and Molten Phantom bring high single-target DPS and synergy in Dark or Fire comps.
- Vampire Emperor is cheap and decent for early-game farming or filler slots.
B-Tier Units
B-tier units hover in the middle of the pack. They’re serviceable for progressing through standard stages but may struggle in high-end raids.
| Unit | Element Type | Deployment Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Killer Candy | Physical, Ground, Moon | 1250 |
| King Ant | Physical, Ground, Dark | 400 |
| One Arm Pirate | Physical, Air, Dark | 1000 |
| Thunder Sword | Magic, Ground, Lightning | 1200 |
| Cursed Fist | Physical, Ground, Dark | 600 |
| Tank Top Hero | Physical, Ground, Dark | 400 |
| Green Tornado | Magic, Air, Leaves | 400 |
| Saiyan Warrior | Physical, Ground, Fire | 200 |
| Fat Shadow | Physical, Ground, Leaves | 1000 |
Notable Mentions:
- One Arm Pirate can fill in as an Air unit with Dark damage.
- King Ant and Cursed Fist are budget-friendly Dark units for early-mid game.
- Green Tornado offers Leaves element coverage but lacks late-game scaling.
C-Tier Units
C-tier characters are below average but can still be useful for grinding lower stages, collecting gems, or saving currency while you hunt better units.
| Unit | Element Type | Deployment Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Otaku | Physical, Ground, Fire | 150 |
| Eternal Avenger | Magic, Ground, Fire | 190 |
| Leaf Ninja | Physical, Ground, Leaves | 180 |
| Silent Sting | Physical, Air, Leaves | 300 |
| Black Leg | Physical, Ground, Fire | 170 |
| Cyborg | Physical, Air, Fire | 100 |
| Tidal Tyrant | Magic, Ground, Fire | 60 |
When to Use C-Tier:
- Budget farming while saving gems for summons.
- Early stages where cooldown speed outweighs raw damage.
D-Tier Units
D-tier includes the weakest of the legendary pool. They’re still superior to lower rarities but generally lack significant damage, utility, or unique traits to justify their cost.
| Unit | Element Type | Deployment Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Admiral | Magic, Air, Lightning | 60 |
| Hawk Swordsman | Physical, Ground, Fire | 50 |
| Porcoro | Magic, Air, Lightning | 160 |
| Shadow Reaver | Magic, Ground, Dark | 120 |
| Thunder God | Magic, Air, Lightning | 60 |
| Doctor Pirate | Physical, Ground, Water | 100 |
Good Points:
- Some D-tier units like Admiral and Porcoro have higher health for tanking but lack offensive presence.
- Can be placeholders while you wait for stronger summons.
