Anime Vanguards Update 12 Tier List
SS Tier — Absolute Best
| Unit | Why SS |
|---|---|
| Shinobi Sage (Friendship) | Best overall DPS in Update 12 meta. High burst, consistent output. |
| Alocard (Vampire King) | Best support. Team sustain and buff provision at the top level. |
| Lich King (Ruler) | Top utility. Enables compositions that otherwise lack control. |
| Demon Leader (Control) | Best control utility alongside Lich King. |
| Gujo (Infinity) | Massive AoE, freeze passive, reduced SPA cost. Biggest mover in Update 12 — jumped from S to SS. |
S Tier — Highly Reliable
| Unit | Notes |
|---|---|
| Iscanur (Pride) | Heavy burst DPS with sun-based burn scaling. Requires timed positioning but massive damage peaks. |
| Pink Villain (Celestial) | Burst + regenerative passives. Self-sufficient anchor that holds lanes independently. |
Notable movement: Gujo (Infinity)'s jump to SS is the headline tier change. No major units dropped significantly in Update 12 based on early community consensus.
Guild System — How It Works
The Guild System is Anime Vanguards' first major social feature. Here's the full breakdown:
- Maximum 20 members per guild
- Land Conquest wars — guilds compete in structured base defense/offense battles
- Coordinated multiplayer meta may favor different unit compositions than solo content
Early analysis: high-AoE units (Gujo, Shinobi Sage) are particularly strong in Land Conquest settings where you defend against multi-directional waves. Guilds that establish internal strategy and composition standards now will have an advantage as the system matures.
To start: join or create a guild from the main menu, fill your roster (max 20 members), and participate in Guild Wars when they schedule.
Battlepass Season 12
Season 12's Battlepass introduces two exclusive units:
| Unit | Memoria |
|---|---|
| Preacher | Purveyor of Peace |
| Fallen Angel | Sinful Priest |
Both are Battlepass-locked — not obtainable through standard rolls. If you're active in Update 12 and want to avoid FOMO on units that won't return this season, the Battlepass is the only path.
What to Pull & How to Adapt
- Don't have Gujo (Infinity)? He's now SS tier and the game's best AoE damage unit. Roll for him first.
- Already have Gujo? Shinobi Sage (Friendship) is the top DPS pick. Alocard (Vampire King) is the next support target.
- For Guild Wars specifically: Prioritize AoE units. Gujo, Shinobi Sage, and units with area damage passives outperform single-target specialists in Land Conquest.
- Don't sleep on the Battlepass: Preacher and Fallen Angel won't return this season.
