Mythic Tier List Overview
The Berserk Update 4.5 has shaken up the meta, introducing three new Mythic units that redefine high-level play. While the core team composition remains consistent for most players, the addition of Falcon, Berserker, and Majesty offers new strategic depth, particularly for Infinite and Tournament modes.
Video Highlights:
- Falcon Mechanics: How to utilize the sacrifice meter for maximum DPS.
- Berserker Synergy: The "Old Comrade" trait combo with Falcon.
- Majesty Role: Sub-meta DPS and support capabilities.
- Meta Analysis: Why King of Curses and White Hunter remain top-tier.
Despite the new additions, the ideal team structure has not drastically changed. Units like King of Curses and White Hunter retain their S-Tier status due to their unmatched DoT (Damage over Time) and utility capabilities.

Top Mythic Units Analysis
Understanding the mechanics of the new Mythic units is essential for climbing the ranks in Anime Final Strike. Below is a detailed breakdown of the top performers from Update 4.5.
Falcon Reincarnated
- Role: Top 3 Meta DPS
- Gimmick: Requires selling units (300k value) to max passive.
- Ability: Brand of Sacrifice marks enemies, applying debuffs to them and buffs to Falcon.
- Nexus Attack: Deals massive damage (200) to controlled enemies.
- Best Use: Infinite mode and Wave 30+ stages.
Berserker
- Role: Top 10 Meta DPS
- Type: Dark/Rock Hybrid (Melee Ground).
- Synergy: Old Comrade trait grants 3x buffs from Falcon's Brand.
- Effects: Stuns quick enemies, disables regen on tanky foes.
- Cost: Extremely cheap (68k total) for his stats.
To unlock Falcon's full potential, you must sell units totaling 300k cost within his range. This triggers the "Dawn Opposition" passive, allowing marked units to deal their own damage plus 50% of Falcon's damage. This is best achieved in Infinite Mode or Wave 50+ where economy is more flexible.
Unit Stat Comparison
| Stat | Falcon | Berserker | Majesty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attack Stat | 141k | 218k | 25k (Max) |
| Range | 52 | 38.9 | 29 (Max) |
| Cooldown | 4.9s | 9.2s | 2.1s |
| Placement | 1 Unit | 2 Units | 3 Units |
| Element | Dark | Dark/Rock | Dark/Physical |
Optimal Team Comps & Traits
Building a team in Anime Final Strike relies on balancing DPS, crowd control, and economy. The current meta favors a hybrid approach that utilizes the new Berserk Update units alongside established classics.
The Ideal Team Composition
| Slot | Unit | Function | Trait Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| DPS 1 | King of Curses | DoT/AoE | Emperor (Boosts DoT) |
| DPS 2 | Falcon | Burst/Nuker | The One (Placement) |
| Support | White Hunter | Slow/Control | The One |
| Farm | Nami | Economy | Standard |
| Farm | Unico | Economy | Standard |
| AoE | Whitebeard | AoE/Buff | The One |
| Hybrid | Berserker | Anti-Tank | The One |
The combination of Falcon and Berserker is devastating. Falcon's Brand of Sacrifice applies a debuff to enemies. If Berserker is within range, his Old Comrade trait converts that debuff into a 3x buff for himself, significantly amplifying his damage output.
Trait Strategy Guide
| Unit | Best Trait | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| King of Curses | Emperor | Maximizes damage over time (DoT) ticks based on attack stat. |
| Falcon | The One | Ideal for 1-placement units to maximize field presence. |
| Berserker | The One | Essential for the 2-placement setup. |
| Majesty | Frenzy | Optimized for his 3-placement requirement. |
Progression Roadmap
To effectively utilize the new Mythic units, follow this step-by-step progression plan. This roadmap focuses on acquiring and upgrading the Berserk Update units efficiently.
Acquire Core Units
Prioritize obtaining Falcon and Berserker first. Majesty is a lower priority but useful for specific content. Focus on clearing the Berserk Raid repeatedly to farm their evolution materials.
Economy Management
Since Falcon requires a 300k sacrifice to reach max power, practice your economy management in earlier waves (Wave 15-20). Do not attempt to fully upgrade Falcon in early story stages as it is resource-inefficient.
Trait Optimization
Aim for "The One" traits on your placement units (Falcon, Berserker). If you get "Emperor" on King of Curses or "The One" on Whitebeard/Shanks, your account is in a strong position.
Infinite Mode Setup
Transition to Infinite Mode once Falcon is maxed. The longer wave duration allows you to build the economy needed to fuel his sacrifice meter and unlock the Dawn Opposition passive.
While not S-Tier, Majesty serves as a cost-effective Sub-Meta DPS. His Realm Terror ability inflicts "Arro Cleave," dealing damage over time. He is easy to evolve and serves as a solid filler unit while you hunt for higher-tier traits.
Strategic Checklist
Use this checklist to ensure your account and team are optimized for the current Anime Final Strike meta.

- Acquire Falcon and unlock his 300k sacrifice passive
- Evolve Berserker to utilize Old Comrade synergy

| Good | Frenzy on Majesty | Solid for early-mid game progression. |
| Average | Generic traits | Use as placeholders until better rolls. |
FAQ
Q: Is Falcon better than King of Curses?
Falcon has higher burst potential and **Mythic Tier** DPS capabilities, especially in Infinite mode. However, **King of Curses** remains the king of consistent DoT and is easier to use in standard stages. Falcon requires more setup and economy to reach his peak.
Q: How do I trigger Berserker's Old Comrade trait?
The **Old Comrade** trait activates when Berserker receives a **Brand of Sacrifice** from Falcon. Instead of receiving a debuff, Berserker gains the **opposite buff increased by 3x**. You must place both units in the same range for this synergy to work.
Q: What is the best team for Infinite mode?
The best Infinite team revolves around **Falcon** as the primary DPS. Support him with **White Hunter** for crowd control and **King of Curses** for damage. Use **Nami** and **Unico** for economy to afford the 300k sacrifice cost for Falcon.
Q: Should I sell my account if I didn't get The One trait?
No. While **The One** is optimal for placement units, traits like **Emperor** on King of Curses or **The One** on Whitebeard are still extremely powerful. The meta is flexible enough to accommodate various high-tier traits.
