ANIME Anime Vanguards (AV) unit tier list
Source check: 2026-10-15 · Current game update: v15.0 · Rankings and historical rewards retain their source dates.
The ordered names live on the main tier list. This page is the filter view: which role and which element the wiki actually exposes. I am still using the 2026-09-23 tier order, so v15.0 units are absent on purpose.
The wiki's rendered overall role tables contain 16 entries each for DPS, Utility, Support and Crowd Control. Rarity is not rank. The element filter includes Cosmic, Unbound and Unknown as well as the eight older elements. This is a dated source snapshot, not a live in-game rotation.

Inside Elemental Towers the same element deals ×3 damage and a different element deals −80%. That rule changes who is “best” more than a single overall number does. Tournament rules can disable a whole element. I would not copy the overall top 8 into a fire-only tower without checking the element.
Unit Labs ranks a unit per role on a five-step scale from Terrible to Meta. That is not the same list as the ordered top 8. When the two pages disagree, I say which page I am quoting.
