In Anime Fantasy: RE, there are more than 80 units you can get, and half of them have Evolutions, which boost their strength even further. However, with that many units available, it isn’t easy to choose which ones to grind for. To help you summon new units and focus your grind where it matters, we prepared the following Anime Fantasy: RE tier list.
Anime Fantasy: RE Tier List
In the above tier list, we ranked all units in Anime Fantasy: RE based on how strong they are when evolved and upgraded to their max level. We decided not to include unevolved units in the tier list because all evolutions are just better versions of the same units. Now, the ranking of each unit is based on the following factors:
- DPS (Damage/SPA)
- SPA (Seconds per attack) — For support units
- Range and AoE type and size — We gave a slight advantage to full AoE units because they are optimal for dealing with a lot of enemies at once
- HP
- Placement and upgrade costs
- Passive abilities (Slow, Freeze, Burn, Bleed, etc.)
FE: RE Banner Summon Tier List
A large number of Units on our overall Anime Fantasy: RE tier list can’t be obtained on the Special Banner. So, we made a simplified tier list of Mythic units that can be on the rate-up every hour. In general, you should use Gems to summon on the Special Banner only when S or A-tier mythics are in the middle of it.
