Our Anime Vanguards tier list is a crucial read if you want to make the most of your units in this Roblox tower defense game. Sure, you may recognize some of the courageous heroes from your favorite anime, but just because they're the main attraction from their franchise doesn't mean they're the top dog here. So, to help you get the best of the best, we can even tell you how to get new Anime Vanguards units.
Another solid bit of advice we have is to redeem all of the Anime Vanguards codes you can, especially as they often provide currency for summoning units. Alternatively, if you're after rankings for other Roblox games, we have a Jujutsu Infinite tier list, a Ninja Time tier list, and an Anime Last Stand tier list.
Anime Vanguards tier list
To form our rankings, we consider the thoughts of the community and compare them to our own experience. However, this isn't an exact science; tier lists are, by nature, very subjective, so if we place something in rank D that you think should be S or higher, that's great, use them and win your battles.

| S+ | Alucard (Vampire King), Vogita Super (Awakened), Igros (Elite Knight), Cha-In (Blade Dancer), Tuji (Sorcerer Killer), Julias (Eisplosion), Jag-o (Volcanic), Boo (Evil) |

How do I get more Anime Vanguards units?
While the game allows you to pick between three characters – Luffo, Narutu, and Ichiga – for your first unit, you need to visit the summon portal in the main hub for subsequent summons. Each summon costs 50 gems, which you can get by simply playing the game or visiting our aforementioned codes guide.
Speaking to each NPC you encounter is a good idea, as most of them reward you with gems after your first conversation – visiting areas such as the 'Evolve' building and interacting with the desks also yields free gems. After that, completing quests and playing through the story is the best way to get the currency.
Who are the best units on our Anime Vanguards tier list?
Any of the units in the S rank are strong candidates for being the best overall unit, so our advice is to test them out to see who works the best for you. However, we personally like the incredible attack power of Igros (Elite Knight) and his ability to further increase his damage against bosses.
When do new Anime Vanguards units arrive?
We tend to see new characters arrive alongside big updates, as we did with the addition of Tuji (Sorcerer Killer), Julias, and others as part of update 1 in October 2024. We take a few days to try out new units once they release to ensure we can rank them effectively for our Anime Vanguards tier list. It's hard to know when the next update is, but we're keeping an eye out to ensure we can advise you on any new units as soon as possible.
That concludes our Anime Vanguards tier list; we hope our rankings and advice on how to get gems help you become the ultimate hero. If you prefer freebies to opinions, check out our Anime Royale codes, Dress to Impress codes, Jujutsu Piece codes, Blue Lock Rivals, and Fisch codes guides.
