ℹ️ How to use this page
The tier list ranks every unit overall; this page picks the best unit for each job. In Anime Expeditions a team wins by covering roles — one main carry, support/buffs, and CC — so mix and match rather than stacking five of the same unit.
Best by role
Best overall DPS
Shadow (Divine)High personal damage plus team-wide buffs from the Shadow Realm passive.
Best single-target
8th Sword (Berserk)The highest single-target damage in the game — ideal for boss phases.
Best team support
Shadow (Divine)Summons Divine Spirits and boosts Magical/Divine Spirits across the team.
Best Bleed / DoT
Cursed Student (True Love)Boosted follow-up every third hit plus Bleed and Bat Spirit summons.
Best for Story
Cursed Student / Flame Emperor
Reliable sustained DPS that carries early-to-mid story worlds.
Sample team compositions
- Boss / Raid burst: 8th Sword (Berserk) for single-target + Shadow (Divine) for team buffs.
- Dense-wave clear: Puppet (Telekinetic) for CC + Cursed Student (True Love) for sustained Bleed DPS.
- Balanced Story team: a Mythic carry (Flame Emperor or Elf Mage) + a support anchor + a CC unit.
⚠️ Stats unconfirmed
Picks lean on roles and community consensus, not verified base stats. A lower-tier unit with strong traits and gear can outperform a poorly built higher-tier one.
