Anime Origins Tier List (August 2026) — Best Units by Role, Sources Shown

Roles instead of letters: the game launched August 14 and the two public tier lists already disagree on 15 units. Every card shows what each source says, so you decide with the same information we have.

Role-filtered rankings for the team job you need

Compare Anime Origins ranking cards by beginner, farming, bossing, support, and meta roles. Every unit shows a confidence label and both public placement chips. The highest-agreement launch picks are Madaro, Valcrad, Cursed Lover, Bon, and Bluma. Fire and Neutral are the only confirmed elements, so the full element list stays undocumented. The team-combo section offers three role-based starter squads while the meta is days old, and Itsoda is the attributed budget Legendary pick.

Ranking criteria

  • • Boss value — burst and control that actually kill bosses (Heaven Splitter, Coffin Trap).
  • • Wave value — AoE pressure and clear speed on endless waves.
  • • Economy — income and buff value per placement (Bluma's data tiers, Bon's food).
  • • Accessibility — how realistically you summon and invest evolve materials in it.
  • • Source agreement — do the two public tier lists agree? Conflicts are labeled, not hidden.

Latest adjustment: 2026-08-15

  • 2026-08-15 — Launch rankings initialized from ProGameGuides (08-14) and Beebom (08-15) with role-first labels; 15 conflicts shown per unit instead of hidden.

How to use this page

Filter by the job you need done, not by rarity hype. "Beginner" means accessible value early, "Farming" means income and wave clear, "Bossing" means burst and control where it matters. Green labels mean both public tier lists agree; amber means they disagree and we show both. Secret units glow on this site for a reason — they are rare, not automatically right for your comp.

Tier list FAQ

What are the best units in Anime Origins?

The three Secrets — Madaro, Valcrad and Cursed Lover — are the consensus top picks. Among Mythics, Bon (support) and Bluma (farming) have the strongest agreement between the two public tier lists.

Why do tier lists disagree on Goju?

ProGameGuides puts Goju in B because his damage output is still unknown, while Beebom puts him in S+ for his utility (nullify + slow). We show both placements and rank him as a support — his value depends on your comp.

What's the best team for beginners?

One AoE carry for waves, Bluma for income, and Itsoda on a hill. The team-combo section below lists three full sample comps.

Why roles instead of S/A/B tiers?

The game launched August 14 and the two public tier lists already disagree on 15 units. Role labels (bossing, farming, support) stay useful while exact letters would be guesses dressed up as fact.
