8th Sword (Berserk)
A Secret unit widely regarded as the strongest single-target damage dealer in Anime Expeditions. In its evolved Berserk form, 8th Sword focuses purely on burst DPS against single targets — bosses in particular.

Overview
- Rarity: Secret
- Tier: S (top single-target carry)
- Role: Pure single-target DPS
8th Sword’s evolved Berserk form is what puts it at S tier. The base form is meaningfully weaker, so the evolution is the version that anchors boss-damage comps. It trades utility for raw single-target output, which is why it is the community go-to when the fight is one large health bar.
Evolution
8th Sword evolves into 8th Sword (Berserk). The evolved form is the S-tier version — prioritize the evolution before investing heavily in upgrades, since the base form is noticeably weaker.
Best traits
As a pure single-target carry, 8th Sword benefits most from the standard carry traits:
- Unbound — the strongest all-round carry trait.
- Primordial — balanced damage, SPA, and range.
- Forsaken — crit- and range-oriented, suited to burst damage.
Best modes
8th Sword (Berserk) is built for single-target damage, so it performs best in Raids (boss damage), Challenges, and boss-heavy Story worlds. It is less effective at clearing dense trash waves.
