  • Farm: Entrepreneur > Wealthy
  • Tank: Rebirth or Cloner
Best Team

  • Berserker & Baras (Main DPS) + Garu & Gometa (Utility & Tanking) + Shinks (Support) + Fastwagon (Farm)
S-Tier DPS
Unit
Ranking Reason
Berserker (Enraged)
Squadron Eclipse (Before)
Chapter 4
• One of the three strongest DPS units due to massive Bleed DoT damage that even reduces enemy regen
• All DPS is boosted the lower HP he is for even more damage so combine him with Skeleton Knight for tanking at low HP
• Also quite durable due to the self-heal
Baras (Meteoric Burst)
EVO Baras from the new Event
• An absolute boss-killer that stacks various buffs when hitting the same target
• Has self-revives that boost his damage even more making him incredibly sticky and reliable
• Top 3 Meta DPS in the game with Berserker and Gometa
Gometa (SSJ4)
EVO Goki to Full Power
Then complete questline
For Primal Core materials for Gogeta EVO
• One of the two strongest DPS units in the game due to massive self-stacking buffs
• Gometa can also tank really well in the end game with his massive defense, HP regen and dodge
• Definitely worth rushing ASAP
Garu (Half Monster)
From Hero Hunter Challenge
• Incredibly versatile and useful unit that’s a DPS, Support and Tank all in one like Shanron but much better
• Deals great DPS once you stack status effects and Marked on enemies
• Tanks well with his ignore-lethal-hit effect that further buffs his DPS
• Supports well with his Def buffs and Damage buffs to units dealing Corruption on targets Garu marks
Puppeteer (Transcendent)
EVO Puppeteer
Get base from Katakara Bridge Challenge
Get EVO Item from Katakara Challenge Hard Mode
• A weaker version of Gometa but still powerful due to massive DPS and tankyness from heals
• You get a ton of self buffs and a debuff that’s just more damage instead of being utility which is why I didn’t put Aizen in the support rankings
• You can grind everything you need for him on the Katakara Bridge Challenge Normal/Hard
Woo (Shadow)Banner Secret
20k Summons Pity
• Top Meta DPS
• Really good for fast clears for farming
A-Tier DPS
Unit
Ranking Reason
Madora (Gunbai)Ninja Village Squadron Act 4
• A near Meta DPS with damage-over-time instead of burst
Skeleton Knight (Resonance)
Raid Eclipse (Before)
Last Chapter
• Excellent Hybrid mix of DPS and the best tanking in the game
• Link him with your strongest DPS unit for damage reduction
• Lower DPS than S-Tiers but still great
Falcon (Dark)
EVO Banner Mythic Falcon
• Incredible mix of decent DPS, executes, support and farm
• On the support/farm side he increases debuff resistance for your team and increases Yen gain
• On the DPS side he executes normal enemies for faster crowd clears
• Incredibly useful unit overall even though he’s not Meta DPS
Shanron (Omega)GT City Raid Act 4
• One of the most versatile units in the game since he can DPS, Tank and Support but not Meta great at either
• His Ice mode slows enemy units which is great for stalling
• Don’t rush him over the above units and save him for later
B-Tier DPS
Unit
Ranking Reason
Goki (SSJ4 Full Power)
Required for Gometa
• Goki is a great sub-Meta DPS but you want him either way for Gogeta
• He’s slightly better than Vegata DPS-wise
Vegata (SSJ4 Full Power)
Required for Gometa
• Vegata’s Full Power EVO is quite a decent mid-game DPS unit
• That said you mainly want his EVO since its required for the Gogeta quest
Caska (Resilience)
• Not the best DPS but amazing support potential due to the damage amplification on attacks and buffing Berserker and Falcon
• Can deal decent DPS with Berseker though since he buffs her too but only on 60%+ HP enemies
C-Tier DPS
Unit
Ranking Reason
Karashi (Sharingan)
• Karashi has lower DPS than the units above and Rizzuto but is incredibly good for farming resources on various modes (see farming guide below)
• Plus he’s a really good filler unit for end-game teams
Rizzuto (Sage)
• Rizzuto is an okay sub-meta DPS that’s good to have in the mid-game
• That said I wouldn’t invest much into him since he doesn’t scale well and doesn’t have a niche use like Karashi for fast clears
Best Tank Units
Unit
Ranking Reason
Skeleton Knight (Resonance)
Raid Eclipse (Before)
Last Chapter
• Excellent Hybrid mix of DPS and the best tanking in the game
• Link him with your strongest DPS unit for damage reduction
• Lower DPS than S-Tiers but still great

• You can grind everything you need for him on the Katakara Bridge Challenge Normal/Hard

From Hero Hunter Challenge
• Incredibly versatile and useful unit that’s a DPS, Support and Tank all in one like Shanron but much better
• Deals great DPS once you stack status effects and Marked on enemies
• Tanks well with his ignore-lethal-hit effect that further buffs his DPS
• Supports well with his Def buffs and Damage buffs to units dealing Corruption on targets Garu marks
Shield Hero
BattlePass
• The best tank in the game at all stages except end-game where you want to replace him with Gogeta
Big Beard
• Weak DPS-wise but tanks well before you get the Meta tanks
Best Support Units
Unit
Ranking Reason
Shinks
• One of the best Supports in the game since he debuffs enemies for -15% DMG and increases your team’s chances to hit enemies

• Don’t rush him over the above units and save him for later
