Anime Vanguards Tier List (May 2026) – Best Units Ranked
Here is the ultimate Anime Vanguards tier list, where we rank the best vanguard, mythic, secret, and limited characters from the game.
beebom.comHere’s what’s latest on Anime Vanguards tier lists, based on recent roundup sources.
- General status: Tier lists are highly dynamic and vary by update, with several sources noting shifts after each Moonless Sky update (11.5) and other balance changes. This means the top-end (S+/S) can move as new units release and buffs/nerfs land.[4][8]
- Recent top units: Common candidates for S+/S-tier across multiple guides include high-damage or highly survivable units like Julias, Arbiter of the Void, Igros the Elite Knight, Song Jinwu, Cha-In, and Tuji, though exact rankings depend on the current update. Expect frequent reordering after new patches.[2][3][8]
- Update coverage: Several up-to-date lists exist for 2025–2026 including Update 8 (2025) and Update 11.5 (2026), with some sources explicitly labeling the newest units and rebalancings that impact tier placement. If you’re chasing the very latest, check Update 11.5-focused pages.[6][8]
- Notable sources:
- PocketTactics maintenance guide and its tier table around April 2026, which details S+/S, A, B, and below, and discusses gem farming for summons.[1]
- Video Game Chronicle and other guides that frequently update with new units and meta shifts.[2]
- Roblox-focused outlets and guides updating through 2025–2026 to reflect newest Moonless Sky changes.[7][8]
Illustration: If you want a quick snapshot, here is a representative recent top tier lineup you’ll often see mentioned in multiple guides:
- S+/S: Arbiter (Of the Void), Julias (Eisplosion), Igros (Elite Knight), Song Jinwu, Cha-In (Blade Dancer), Tuji (Sorcerer Killer), Dawntay (Jackpot), Alucard/Alocard (Vampire King), Ultimate Rohan. (Note: order may vary with patch.)[8][1]
- A-tier and below: Several long-standing strong units appear across lists, with some rotation depending on the update. For example, Ta-different roster entries like Koguro variants, Sprintwagon, and others appear in A/B tiers in various sources.[3][9][2]
If you’d like, I can pull a single, up-to-date list for you and format a concise summary of the current S+/S, A, and B tiers, plus notable new units from the latest patch. I can also compare two or three specific lists to show how rankings differ across sources.
