All New Units Ranked

Community reports and our testing place the Update 0.5 units in a clear hierarchy. The following table ranks the new and reworked units based on their DPS, utility, and end-game viability.

Unit Name	Rarity	Role	Tier	How to Obtain	Key Strength
Berserker (Enraged)	Mythic → Secret?	DPS / Tank	S-Tier	Squanto Eclipse Chapter 4	Massive bleed DoT, self-heal, scales with low HP
Gometa (SSJ4)	Secret	DPS / Tank	S-Tier	Evolve Goki Full Power + questline	Self-stacking buffs, high defense & regen
Puppeteer (Transcendent)	Mythic → Secret	DPS / Tank	S-Tier	Evolve base Puppeteer from Katakara Bridge	Strong self-buffs, great DPS and durability
Madora (Gunbai)	Secret	DPS (DoT)	S-Tier	Ninja Village Squad Act 4	Top damage-over-time, great for bosses
Woo (Shadow)	Secret	DPS	S-Tier	Banner (20k pity)	Fast wave clears, top meta DPS
Skeleton Knight (Resonance)	Mythic	DPS / Tank	A-Tier	Eclipse Raid Last Chapter	Best tank in game, link for damage reduction
Falcon (Dark)	Mythic → Secret	Hybrid	A-Tier	Evolve Mythic Falcon from Banner	Executes, debuff resist, Yen boost
Casca (Resilience)	Mythic	Support	B-Tier	Banner	Damage amp vs 60%+ enemies, buffs Berserker
Guts (Base)	Mythic	DPS	B-Tier	Squanto Chapter 4	Decent early DPS, required for future evos

Note: Falcon is the priority summon this patch because he can evolve into Falcon Dark (secret), which offers incredible versatility. While Casca is a solid support, her DPS is lower unless paired with Berserker.

Best Team Compositions for Raid and Farming

After analyzing both player experience and the latest tier list, we've compiled the most effective team setups for different game modes. The Eclipse raid demands a specific composition due to its unique "protect the Skeleton Knight" mechanic.

Game Mode	Optimal Team (5 units)	Strategy
Eclipse Raid	Gometa + Puppeteer + Madora + Shinks + Fastwagon	Upgrade Aizen first (highest DPS). Do not stack 3 Omega gear. Focus boss before Knight dies.
Story / Farming	Goki / Vegata + Kakashi / Sanji + Fastwagon + filler	Use Kakashi (fast unit) for resource farming. Sanji is faster if owned.
Infinite Runs	Gometa + Puppeteer + Aizen (full Aizen set) + support	Use full Aizen gear set + Mythic for extended DPS.

Recommended Gear Sets

DPS (non-Infinite): 2 Shenron (Omega Gear Set) + 1 Naruto Headband + Full Mythic Set
DPS (Infinite Runs): Full Aizen Set + Mythic Set
DoT units (Madora, Shenron): Full Shenron Set + Mythic Set
Farm unit (Fastwagon): Money Maker Set (Merchant Shop)

Best Traits

Role	Trait Priority
DPS/Support	Superior > Cloner (Shinks always Cloner)
Farm	Entrepreneur > Wealthy
Tank	Rebirth or Cloner

Caution: Do not use the three-Omega build on units that rely on direct damage (like Gogeta) because the Omega effect converts to a DoT effect, which can hurt your burst damage.

Eclipse Raid Guide: Protect the Skeleton Knight

The Eclipse raid is the centerpiece of Update 0.5. Unlike previous raids, your main objective is not just to kill enemies but to keep the Skeleton Knight alive until he reaches the boss. If the Knight dies, you fail. Here's a step-by-step strategy based on the community's most successful clears.

Raid Mechanics

The Knight moves slowly across the map. Enemies spawn at intervals.
Your units will attack automatically, but they die once they reach the end of the path – only the Knight matters.
The boss has approximately 4.5 million HP. You must eliminate him before the Knight arrives, or the Knight will be one-shot.

Recommended Unit Priority

Aizen – Highest DPS in the game, upgrade first.
Gogeta (Gometa) – Strong burst and survivability.
Madora – DoT helps chip boss health.
Skeleton Knight – Even though you protect him, you can use him for link damage reduction.
Kakashi (or Sanji) – Fast movement to spawn camp enemies. Don't upgrade him; just place for early kills.

Sample Loadout (from player experience)

Slot	Unit	Reason
1	Aizen	Main DPS – prioritize upgrades.
2	Gogeta	Secondary DPS and tank.
3	Madora	DoT support for boss.
4	Skeleton Knight	Link with strongest DPS to reduce damage taken.
5	Kakashi	Fast spawn clear – no upgrades needed.

Build tip: For Aizen, many players recommend a crit-heavy build (full crit rate and crit damage). For Gogeta, avoid three Omega sets; use 2 Omega + 1 Headband for balanced damage. Adjust according to your available gear.

How to Farm Resources Efficiently

Resource farming is crucial for upgrading units and rerolling traits. The Destructoid tier list provides excellent farming routes. We've condensed the most effective methods:

Trait Rerolls

Method	Output	Notes
Raid Shop	Trait Reroll tokens	Best consistent source.
30-minute challenges	Trait Rerolls (with Kakashi)	Set up a farm team with Kakashi for speed.
AFK Chamber	Low-rate idle rewards	Passive income while offline.

Gems

Method	Output	Efficiency
Raid Shop	Gems	High (spend raid tokens).
Story 1-1 Hard	Gems	Fast run with Kakashi – 30 seconds.
30-minute challenges	Gems	Moderate (use with trait farm).

Gold

Method	Output	Notes
Squanto stages (20/40)	Gold	Clear Normal and Hard daily.
30-minute challenges	Gold	Same as above.
Sell banner summons	Gold	Only do if you have excess.
AFK Chamber	Gold	Low rate.

EXP

Method	Output	Notes
Raids	EXP	Best per time.
Squanto stages	EXP	Solid alternative.
Story 1-1	EXP	Good for leveling weak units.

Pro tip: Use Kakashi (or Sanji if you have him) as your lead farmer. His fast attack speed lets you clear early stages in seconds, maximizing resource per minute.

Bounty System and Shop Refresh

Update 0.5 introduced a simple daily Bounty system. Located to the left of the play area, you can accept up to three bounties at a time. Rewards include gems, gold, and trait shards.

Bounty refresh tickets are currently only available via Robux purchase. Use them sparingly if you don't like a task.
The Rich Shop also reset with this patch. If you have the currency, buy everything (especially evolution materials and trait rerolls).

Limited-time bundles: The 80,000 Robux golden SSJ4 skin is a collector's item. Profile bundles also offer cosmetic bonuses but remain pricey. If you're not a whale, focus on the core progression items first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the best unit to pull from the banner in this anime squadron complete guide?
A: Falcon is the top priority because he can evolve into a secret unit (Falcon Dark) with excellent hybrid abilities. Casca is a solid support but not essential for early end-game.

Q: How do I beat the Eclipse raid without the top secret units?
A: Use a combination of Aizen (or Gometa), Puppeteer, Madora, and Skeleton Knight. Upgrade Aizen first, and make sure to kill the boss before the Knight reaches him. Even lower-tier DPS units can work if you invest in crit gear.

Q: Can I farm trait rerolls without spending Robux?
A: Yes. The raid shop offers a reliable source. Also, running 30-minute challenges with Kakashi yields reroll tokens. AFK chamber is a passive alternative.

Q: Is the Golden SSJ4 skin worth 80,000 Robux?
A: It's a cosmetic limited item. If you're a completionist or a fan of the skin, it's a status symbol. For most players, spending Robux on summon bundles or raid passes offers better gameplay value.
