All 9 New Units
Update 3 introduces the full Fate/Strange Fake roster into Anime Paradox. Here are all 9 new additions:
| Unit | Series | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gilgamesh | Fate/Strange Fake | DPS | King of Heroes — massive AoE burst damage, one of the top DPS options post-update |
| Enkidu | Fate/Strange Fake | Support/CC | Chains of Heaven provide crowd control + support synergy |
| Richard | Fate/Strange Fake | DPS | Lionheart king — strong single-target damage with gap-closing abilities |
| Ishtar | Fate/Strange Fake | AoE DPS | Goddess of Venus — devastating ranged AoE with wide coverage |
| Hippolyta | Fate/Strange Fake | Tank/DPS | Queen of Amazons — frontline bruiser with solid durability |
| Alchides | Fate/Strange Fake | DPS | Heracles variant — raw power with high sustained damage |
| NoName | Fate/Strange Fake | Support | Mystery servant — unique support kit with team-wide buffs |
| Vera Livett | Fate/Strange Fake | Support | Specialized support with debuff capabilities |
| John Winguard | Fate/Strange Fake | DPS/Utility | Versatile unit mixing damage with utility effects |
How They Fit the Meta
Anime Paradox's 360-degree base defense format makes support units far more valuable than in traditional lane TD games. Your base sits at the center with enemies spawning in a full circle — so positioning and AoE coverage are everything.
Early UPD 3 Standouts
- Gilgamesh is already looking like an S-tier contender. His AoE burst covers massive angles, which is exactly what the circular map format demands
- Enkidu pairs exceptionally well with Gilgamesh — the CC chains let DPS units shred grouped enemies
- Ishtar has the raw AoE coverage to compete with established top-tier options like Bumta (True Love)
- Death Reaper (Souls) remains the #1 overall unit even after UPD 3, but the Fate roster gives players more team comp flexibility
The community is still evaluating all 9 units at max EVO with optimized Mythic traits. Expect tier list adjustments through late March.
Balance Changes & Meta Shifts
UPD 3 didn't just add units — it reshuffled the meta:
- Synergy matters more than ever — team combos that stack CC + AoE + buff multipliers dominate late waves
- Wave speed checks got harder — enemies in later stages move faster, punishing players who rely on single-target DPS
- Boss durability increased — sustained DPS matters more; burst-only strategies struggle in Infinite mode
- Support units buffed across the board — the developer clearly wants support to be meta, not optional
Quick Meta Tier Snapshot (Post-UPD 3)
| Tier | Units |
|---|---|
| Meta | Death Reaper (Souls), Bumta (True Love), Gilgamesh* |
| S | Enkidu, Ishtar, top pre-existing DPS units |

| B | NoName, Vera Livett, John Winguard* |

Strategy Tips for UPD 3
- Build around Gilgamesh + Enkidu if you pulled both — the CC-into-burst combo handles the new faster waves extremely well
- Don't sleep on Ishtar — her AoE arc covers nearly 180 degrees, which is massive for the circular format
- Invest in EVO upgrades — all tier rankings assume max EVO with Mythic traits, so under-leveled Fate units will underperform
- Stack support multipliers — with the support buff, running 2-3 support units alongside your DPS core is now meta
- Farm Stat Chips aggressively — the new units need proper Stat Chip investment to hit their ceiling
