Anime Origins Tier List Wiki

What this page is for

If you searched anime origins tier list, tier list anime origins, anime origins tierlist, or anime origins wiki tier list, this is the page you want. It gives the shortest practical answer first, then explains why the ranking looks the way it does.

Quick Answer

Start with SS if you want the safest one-unit build target.
Use S for strong utility and A for flexible roster growth.
Treat B as a bridge, not a final destination.
If you are still early, keep one carry, one support, and one economy-friendly flex instead of spreading resources across the whole roster.

Current launch snapshot

Anime Origins launched with a 37-unit roster, and public tier guides still keep circling the same core names. That is useful: it means searchers want a practical build answer, not a long lore page.

How this ranking is built

This is a launch snapshot, not a patch promise. The current grouping favors:

Damage that clears waves without too much setup.
Role fit for carry, support, and flexible slots.
Early-game value, because the first 10-15 minutes matter most for new players.
Trait synergy when a unit clearly benefits from a known reroll target.
Mode fit, because some units feel stronger in faster modes than in slower ones.

Choose by mode

The tier list is a starting point. Use the goal of the run to decide which roles matter most instead of treating one overall rank as the answer for every mode.

Run goal	Prioritize first	How to use the list
Early progression	A reliable carry, one support or economy slot, and low setup	Start with an SS carry when you have one, then fill the team with the simplest S or A support and flex options.
Repeat farming	Consistent wave clear, useful range or cooldown, and easy placement	Prefer units that keep clearing without constant rebuilding; a flexible A unit can be more useful than a narrow high-rank pick.
Harder or challenge content	Coverage, support value, and a carry that can handle pressure	Keep the carry, then replace open flex slots with support or coverage rather than adding a second carry automatically.
Roster testing	One unit to keep, one unit to compare, and open slots	Change one role at a time so you can tell whether the new pull actually improved the run.

These are team-building rules, not official mode rankings. If a patch changes a mode’s rules, update the role priorities before changing every tier.

Role slots

Think in six roles before thinking in six names. A team does not need six premium units to be useful.

Slot	Job	What to look for
Main carry	Does most of the damage or wave clearing	A unit from SS or S is the safest starting point when available.
Support	Improves the carry’s consistency or damage window	Use a support unit when it helps the carry stay on the field longer or clear a difficult checkpoint.
Economy	Makes the rest of the run easier to fund	Keep this slot when extra income or resource value matters more than another damage unit.
Coverage	Handles a gap in range, speed, or enemy pressure	Choose a flexible unit that solves the problem your carry cannot solve alone.
Utility flex	Tests control, cooldown, range, or another situational need	This is the first slot to swap when the run feels close but inconsistent.
Open slot	Holds a second carry, event unit, or future upgrade	Do not fill it just to complete the roster; keep it available for the next meaningful pull.

Launch consensus

Tier	Units	Role / use case	Why they land there
SS	Cursed Lover, Valcrad, Madaro	Main carry anchors	These are the launch names that keep showing up at the top of public tier lists. They are the safest long-term build targets if you want one unit to carry a lot of work.
S	Bon, Bluma, Tango	Utility and support	Strong utility names that keep a roster stable while you search for the exact carry you want.
A	Vegita, Aneko, Igritto, Sosuke, Tojei, Noroto, Starku, Yoto, Goju, Shinoru, Mykie, Goki	Flexible roster pieces	These units become more valuable once you know your main carry and support slots. They are good bridges and comp fillers.
B	Melio, Roxi	Early-fill or situational units	Fine for now, but not the names to chase first if you can get a higher-tier pull.

How to read the ranking

If you want one safe build target, start with SS.
If you want a balanced roster, S and A matter more than chasing every flashy name.
If your roll lands in B, treat it as a temporary bridge rather than a final answer.
Rank shifts after patches are normal; this page is a snapshot, not a promise.

Where Roxi fits

Roxi currently sits in the B-tier early-bridge group. That does not mean Roxi is unusable. It means the safer early decision is to use Roxi when the slot solves a real gap, while reserving expensive rerolls and long-term investment for a carry, support, or economy unit that you expect to keep.

If Roxi is your best current unit, build enough to clear the next progression checkpoint, then reassess after your next meaningful pull. For a wider roster view, start with Anime Origins Units.

Trait patterns that keep showing up

Public launch guides keep linking the top units to a handful of traits:

Immortal and Overseer for premium carries
Rupture for crit-heavy damage
Hustler for economy-linked value
Stride for fast, cooldown-driven units like Tango

Starter teams

These are not hard rules. They are the fastest ways to stop wasting early resources.

Start state	Good early plan
You pulled an SS carry	Build around that unit first, then add one support and one flex slot before chasing anything else.
You pulled a strong S or A unit	Keep it as your bridge unit, spend light resources, and save rerolls for a clearer carry pull.
You only have B-tier units	Use them to clear early waves, then stop investing once a better carry is available.
You are unsure about traits	Keep the strongest raw unit first, then reroll traits only after the roster settles.

Starter team templates

Use these as six-slot templates, not fixed best-in-slot teams. Replace a role only when the replacement solves a real problem in the current run.

Team state	Six-slot template	Swap rule
Fresh roster	Carry, support, economy, coverage, utility flex, open slot	Keep the open slot until a pull clearly improves one of the first five roles.
Carry already secured	Main carry, support, economy, coverage, utility flex, trait test	Test traits on the carry or the unit you expect to keep; do not reroll every slot at once.
No clear carry yet	Best current damage, support, economy, two flex slots, open slot	Treat the damage unit as a bridge and stop expensive investment when a better carry arrives.
Run feels inconsistent	Current carry, support, economy, problem-solving coverage, utility flex, replacement slot	Change the role that matches the failure instead of replacing the whole team.

What to do after a pull

Check whether the new unit changes your main carry plan.
If it does not, keep the current carry and let the new pull fill support or utility.
If the pull unlocks a better trait target, move rerolls there after the next checkpoint.
If you are choosing between two similar units, use the one that clears early content more smoothly.

Notes for launch

If a patch changes the roster or a new guide overturns the current consensus, update this page first and split the special case into its own article later.
