Anime Adventures Tier List
Last updated: Patch: Update 21 (Nov 2026)
The Update 21 ranking is built one verified unit at a time: S through C, ranked separately for story, infinite and raids, with the reason behind every placement — never a name-only list. Units enter the table as their data clears the bar below, and the whole ranking re-checks after each balance patch.
How the Update 21 Tier List Is Ranked
Three separate rankings, because a unit that carries story mode is not always the one that survives infinite or clears raids:
- Story — units that carry campaign progression with the least investment.
- Infinite — sustained damage and utility for endless waves.
- Raids — burst windows and team buffs that matter most under a timer.
- Every placement dated and sourced; re-ranked after each balance patch.
Tier Definitions
| Tier | What it means |
|---|---|
| S | Carries its mode with low investment — the unit a team gets built around |
| A | Strong pick that needs the right support or placement to hit its ceiling |
| B | Situational — clears content with investment or in specific team comps |
| C | Outclassed for clearing; collected for the roster, not the meta |
Placements follow these definitions separately for story, infinite and raids — a unit can sit in different tiers in different modes.
How Placements Get Verified
A unit enters the table only when its performance is confirmed by official data or two independent sources — the same standard the codes page uses. Until a unit clears that bar it stays off the table: the ranking grows verified row by row rather than guessing, and every row keeps its check date.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does the Update 21 tier list fill in?
Unit by unit, as each placement clears the verification bar — official data or two independent sources. The framework (modes, tier definitions, verification standard) is live now, and rows land with their check dates instead of all at once.
How often is the tier list re-ranked?
After every balance patch. Update 21 rebalanced the returning roster, so placements re-check whenever Gomu ships the next update — each change carries its date.
