Best Tier List and Starter Meta in Anime Expeditions Roblox

Anime Expeditions launch meta is already leaning hard toward secret carries, DOT mythics, and one dedicated economy slot. The short version: chase Megumi or Kenpachi first if you can, then build the rest of your team around Yuta, Elf Mage, Gowther, Ramen Guy, and a support that matches your roster.

Anime Expeditions release tier list

Megumi and Kenpachi sit above the normal S tier because they solve more of the game by themselves than the rest of the release roster. The regular S-tier units are still worth chasing, especially early, but they are the pieces you build around the secrets rather than replacements for them.

Megumi and Kenpachi as top chase units

Kenpachi is the cleaner raw-damage answer. He comes from raids, is easier to target than Megumi, has full AoE, brings stun, and hits far harder than standard mythics. Compared with Elf Mage, he is the direct endgame upgrade: much higher damage, better coverage, and less need to lean on cooldown quality to feel strong.

The number one slot can swing between them. Megumi wins when you value flexibility and summons; Kenpachi wins when the map rewards pure full-AoE damage. Either way, both are well ahead of normal mythics and should be treated as the main release chase units.

Yuta, Elf Mage, Gowther, and Lady Giant in S tier

Yuta is the best normal mythic to chase first. He is easy to evolve through his unit quest, brings bleed, and can reach heavy DOT value with the right trait setup. His copy passive also keeps him relevant beside stronger carries, since placing him near Kenpachi lets him borrow a full-AoE attack cycle instead of only playing as a bleed unit.

Elf Mage / Frieren is the best bridge carry before Kenpachi. She is quick to build, strong through early and mid-game, and worth fully awakening if your account is not ready for raid farming. Her drawback is attack pacing, so she eventually gives way to Kenpachi once your roster reaches that point.

Gowther earns S tier through utility, not just damage. Rewind, multi-hit value, and strong early-game performance make him one of the most useful mythics to slot next to a main carry. Lady Giant is more straightforward: she brings high raw DPS and a tanky damage profile, but with less utility, which keeps her near the bottom of S rather than in the secret chase group.

A-tier and starter units worth knowing

Ichigo is the strongest A-tier damage pick, but the raid evolution path makes the payoff feel underwhelming compared with the effort. He is good enough to use, just not the first place to spend rare resources if any S-tier option is still missing.

Toso is a Battle Pass unit that helps mid-to-endgame accounts, but he is not essential. Sabo is better for burn pressure, though his five-placement setup makes him expensive to run at full value. Gabimaru works as the easier burn/DOT alternative when you do not want to commit that many slots and upgrades.

Doflamingo is a solid starter mythic with good placement value, but he does not bring enough extra utility to compete with the better mythics later. True Saint is a B-tier chamber starter: useful while your roster is thin, but not a long-term trait or evolution priority. Most lower epics and rares should be fed or benched unless they give economy, buffs, slow, freeze, or a real early carry role.

Toy Maker stays in A tier because launch access and gameplay volume are still limited; summons could move her higher once more players can test her in full teams.

Farm and support slots for release teams

Ramen Guy is the preferred farm unit. There are two farm options in the launch set, but Ramen Guy is the better economy pick because his three placements generate stronger value once upgraded, especially with money traits.

Damage buffers matter once your carries are upgraded because the buff sits around 20-30%. The magic and physical labels are easy to mix up at launch, so check the in-game unit panel before locking one into a team.

Salmon Sorcerer is the main pure support because his slow starts around 20% and improves as you upgrade him. Netero and the other slow/freeze supports are backup options, useful when you need control but do not own Salmon Sorcerer yet.

Release team cores by account stage

A strong release team usually wants two or three carries, one farm, and one support. The final slot should flex around your account: use another carry if damage is low, a second farm if upgrades are too expensive, or control if enemies are leaking late.

Trait priorities for launch units

Yuta does not need the rarest secret-only chase trait to be valuable because bleed and copy-passive scaling already carry much of his kit. Save the most expensive reroll attempts for Megumi and Kenpachi, then clean up your core mythics after your main team is stable.

Patch checks before rare rerolls

This list reflects the EA+/launch-window state from July 15-16, 2026. Before spending pity, evolution materials, or rare trait rolls, check the current patch notes and each in-game unit panel; a small change to placement count, SPA, buff type, or DOT scaling can move a unit between tiers quickly.
