Anime Duelists Tier List
Public evidence is strong enough to group useful progression and chase roles, but not to claim an exact S-to-D roster. Use the observed examples below as comparison leads, then test them at similar levels in your current world.
Checked July 14, 2026Update 1No invented stats
A clear same-level improvement
Epic and Legendary examples belong here only when current gameplay shows a practical progression role.
Mythic and Shiny goals
Treat rarity as an investment signal, then check passive, ultimate, accessory, world and team fit.

Ranking method
What changes a fighter's placement
Clear speed
How reliably the fighter moves through the current world at comparable investment.
Utility and survival
Whether the fighter helps the team complete stages, not only produce one large hit.
Unlock cost
Stars, levels, rarity, rerolls, accessories and replacement resources required.
Team fit
How the fighter works with a progression carry, farming slot, support role and flex slot.
Scaling
Whether the role remains useful when worlds and enemy health increase.
Ultimate value
Every fighter has a unique ultimate according to the official description; compare its real task.
Replacement risk
How quickly the fighter may leave the team after the next rarity or world.
Freshness
New fighters, traits, accessories or balance changes can invalidate an older comparison.
Team combo
Use roles, not four copies of one idea
Current gameplay shows four equipped fighters. A safe starting structure is a progression carry, another damage or farming slot, a support or utility role and a flexible replacement slot. Change one slot at a time so the result remains understandable.
Current references
Why exact tiers are still early
The official Roblox page confirms the fighter, Star, ultimate and world loop. Recent creator footage adds useful progression, passive, rarity and team examples, but it does not provide a complete normalized roster, same-level damage table or current availability list.

Latest adjustment: launch evidence boundary
July 14, 2026 — kept the list role-first, added current creator-observed examples and held uncertain names in Needs More Evidence. No exact S-to-D fighter rank was promoted without normalized roster data.
FAQ
Tier list questions
Who is the best fighter in Anime Duelists?
Current evidence is not strong enough for one universal answer. Compare progression, farming, boss and support roles at similar levels.
Why is this tier list role-first?
Public footage shows useful progression and rarity signals, but not a complete normalized roster or damage table.
Are Mythic and Shiny always best?
They are strong chase signals, but role, level, passive, accessory, world and team fit can change the result.
How often is the tier list updated?
It should be rechecked after new fighters, balance changes, accessories, traits or a major update.
