Anime Final Strike Tier List Overview
The Anime Final Strike tier list for Update 4.5 brings exciting shifts to the competitive landscape. The Berserk update introduces three powerful new units—Falcon, Berserker, and Majesty—each offering unique mechanics that can dramatically alter your team's performance. Whether you are pushing through infinite mode or tackling high-wave tournaments, understanding where each unit ranks is essential.

- Ideal team composition for infinite mode
The current meta remains largely stable at the top, with King of Curses maintaining the premier position due to exceptional damage-over-time (DOT) output. Whitebeard continues to serve as the primary area-of-effect (AoE) damage dealer. However, the new units have carved out significant niches, particularly Falcon, who has jumped directly into the top three for overall meta DPS.
Despite major updates, the core ideal team has not changed drastically. King of Curses, Wiper, Captain, Cyborg, White Hunter, Nami, and Unico remain the gold standard for infinite mode pushes.
S-Tier Meta Units Breakdown
S-Tier units form the backbone of any competitive Anime Final Strike team. These units offer unmatched damage, utility, or farming potential that cannot be easily replaced.
| Unit | Role | Key Strength | Best Trait |
|---|---|---|---|
| King of Curses | DOT DPS | 50 attacks scaling with damage | The One |
| Whitebeard | AoE DPS | Massive splash damage with buffs | The One |
| Cyborg | Starter | Initiates team combos effectively | The One |
| White Hunter | Support | Slows enemies for crowd control | Emperor |
| Falcon | Hybrid DPS | Sacrifice meter boosts brand units | The One |
King of Curses
- Top DOT unit
- Scales with attack stat
- Ideal for sustained fights
- Best with The One trait
Whitebeard
- Premier AoE damage
- Excellent buff potential
- Clears waves efficiently
- Strong tournament pick
Falcon
- New hybrid DPS
- Dark magic on placement
- 300k sacrifice mechanic
- Top 3 meta DPS
Focus your trait rolls on King of Curses and Toji first. Because their abilities scale directly with their attack stat, "The One" trait provides the highest damage ceiling for these units.
Update 4.5 New Units Guide
The Berserk Update 4.5 introduces three distinct units that expand tactical options. Each unit features a unique evolution and specialized mechanics that reward strategic placement.
| New Unit | Element | Placement Type | Total Cost | Core Mechanic |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Falcon | Dark Magic | Hybrid (1 Placement) | ~79k (Max) | Sacrifice meter unlocks passives |
| Berserker | Dark/Rock | Ground Melee (2 Placement) | ~68k | Adaptive effects by enemy type |
| Majesty | Dark Physical | Hill (3 Placement) | ~41k each | Summons defeated enemies |
Falcon: The Sacrifice Strategist
Falcon operates on a unique sacrifice meter system. When units within his range are sold, their total upgrade cost fuels the meter. Reaching 100k unlocks control application, 200k makes him unsellable but grants a 30% boost, and hitting 300k unlocks his ultimate passive—Dragon's Proposal. Brand units within his range have a chance to deal additional damage based on Falcon's attack stat.
Falcon works best in wave 30+ content, tournaments, and infinite mode. In shorter stages (wave 15), you likely will not have enough time or resources to sell 300k worth of units to activate his full potential.
Berserker: The Adaptive Brawler
Berserker is a ground melee unit who stays grounded for the entire fight. His attacks adapt to the enemy: stunning quick enemies, dealing 30% extra damage to tanks, and disabling regeneration on healing enemies. His synergy with Falcon is exceptional—when he receives a Brand of Sacrifice, instead of getting debuffed, he gains a triple-strength buff.
Majesty: The Summoner
Majesty inflicts armor cleave, dealing continuous damage based on his attack stat. Every 10 kills, he summons five random defeated enemies at 30% HP. When a summon dies, the last hitting enemy receives a random status effect. He serves as a solid sub-meta DPS and support hybrid.
Roll "The One" for both Falcon and Berserker since they are single-placement units. For Majesty, aim for "Frenzy" to maximize his three-placement summon strategy.
Building the Ideal Team
Constructing the optimal team in Anime Final Strike requires balancing damage types, support utility, and resource generation. The current ideal composition has proven effective across infinite mode and tournament content.
| Position | Unit | Function | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main DPS | King of Curses | DOT Damage | Unmatched sustained output |
| AoE DPS | Whitebeard | Wave Clear | Buffed splash damage |
| Starter | Cyborg | Combo Initiation | Sets up team synergies |
| Support | White Hunter | Crowd Control | Slows enemies globally |
| Farmer 1 | Nami | Resource Gen | Fast early game economy |
| Farmer 2 | Unico | Resource Gen | Secondary income source |
Establish Your Economy
Place Nami and Unico early to generate resources. Without strong farming units, you will struggle to afford high-cost upgrades for your main DPS units in later waves.
Deploy Your Starter
Position Cyborg to initiate team combos. His starter role sets up the damage chain that your main DPS units will capitalize on throughout the match.
Add Crowd Control
Place White Hunter to slow enemy movement. This gives your damage units more time to eliminate threats before they reach critical positions.
Position Main DPS
Deploy King of Curses for sustained DOT and Whitebeard for AoE clears. Ensure their range overlaps with high-traffic enemy paths.
Integrate Falcon for Late Game
If running Falcon, place him strategically and begin selling units within his range to build the 300k sacrifice meter for maximum passive output.
For an advanced team composition, pair Falcon with Berserker. When Berserker receives Falcon's Brand of Sacrifice, he gains a triple buff instead of a debuff, creating one of the strongest synergies in Update 4.5.
Trait Optimization Guide
Traits dramatically alter unit performance. Knowing which trait to prioritize for each unit can mean the difference between clearing wave 50 and falling short.
| Trait | Best For | Effect Priority | Roll Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| The One | Single-Placement DPS | Maximizes attack stat | High demand |
| Emperor | King of Curses, Toji | Alternative top-tier trait | Moderate |
| Frenzy | Multi-Placement Units | Boosts summon/clone builds | Moderate |
If you roll "The One" on Whitebeard or Shanks instead of your primary targets, it is still highly effective. Do not feel pressured to sell or restart your account—these units perform exceptionally well with top-tier traits.
The general rule for trait assignment is straightforward: single-placement units like Falcon and Berserker benefit most from "The One" because it maximizes their single-unit damage ceiling. Multi-placement units like Majesty thrive with "Frenzy" since it enhances their multi-unit summon mechanics.
For DOT-focused units like King of Curses, "The One" and "Emperor" are both top choices. His ability to execute 50 attacks based on his damage stat means every point of attack translates directly into more total damage output.

Q: What is the best unit in the Anime Final Strike tier list for Update 4.5?
King of Curses remains the top unit due to his exceptional DOT damage. However, Falcon from the new Berserk update has entered the top three for overall meta DPS, especially in wave 30+ content and infinite mode.
Q: How does Falcon's sacrifice meter work?
When units within Falcon's range are sold, their total upgrade cost fuels his sacrifice meter. At 100k, attacks apply control. At 200k, he becomes unsellable but gains 30% power. At 300k, he unlocks Dragon's Proposal, allowing brand units to deal bonus damage.
Q: Which trait should I prioritize for the new units?
Roll 'The One' for Falcon and Berserker since they are single-placement units. For Majesty, aim for 'Frenzy' to maximize his three-placement summon strategy.
Q: Is the ideal team composition still the same after Update 4.5?
Yes, the core ideal team remains King of Curses, Wiper, Captain, Cyborg, White Hunter, Nami, and Unico. However, Falcon and Berserker can be integrated as powerful alternatives, especially when paired together for their Brand of Sacrifice synergy.
