Understanding the Anime Last Stand DPS Tier List
Building the perfect team requires knowing which units output the most damage. In Anime Last Stand, DPS (Damage Per Second) is the primary metric for clearing waves, surviving infinite modes, and dominating tournaments. Units are evaluated based on their base damage, attack speed (SPA), area of effect (AOE), and special abilities.

Community tier lists are compiled by experienced players based on several criteria. These rankings reflect the current meta but should be treated as guidelines rather than absolute facts. Your results may vary based on unit upgrades, souls, and team synergy.
S-Tier: The Meta Defining Units
The highest tier in the Anime Last Stand DPS tier list belongs to units that can clear content effortlessly. These units feature massive damage multipliers, full AOE coverage, and abilities that can delete boss health bars.
| Unit Name | Rarity | Element | Key Strength |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boku (TUI) | LastStandian | Light | Best overall unit, dominates all modes |
| Itadoki (Shrine) | Ultimate | Fire | Top-tier physical DPS, excellent starter |
| Angelist (Deity) | Celestial | Light | Powerful magical DPS with broad coverage |
| Shimon (Supreme Commander) | Godly | Cosmic | Insane soul damage, top buffer |
| Evil Demon Boohan (Enraged) | Ultimate | Dark | Massive magical damage dealer |
Boku (TUI)
- Light / Physical
- Best unit in the game
- Dominates Raids, Survival, Portal
- Requires Soul of Brute Force
Itadoki (Shrine)
- Fire / Physical
- Incredible starter unit
- High sustained damage output
- Requires Soul of Destruction
Shimon (Supreme Commander)
- Cosmic / Soul Damage
- Best Godly support and DPS
- Buffs entire team damage
- Requires Idol Soul
If you are a free-to-play player, focus all your resources on acquiring and maxing Boku (TUI) or Itadoki (Shrine) first. These units carry through virtually every game mode, including Story, Raids, Dungeons, and Boss Rush.
Godly Units DPS Rankings
Godly units represent some of the rarest and most powerful characters in the game. Players can only equip two Godly units at a time, making slot efficiency critical. Below is the ranking based on raw damage, nuke potential, and leader slot utility.
| Rank | Godly Unit | DPS Rating | Primary Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rimuru | 10/10 | Pure DPS / Dual Nukes |
| 2 | Naruto (Baryon) | 9/10 | Pure DPS / Clones |
| 3 | Johnny | 9/10 | DPS / Summoner |
| 4 | Escanor (with Soul) | 9.5/10 | Pure DPS / No Weakness |
| 5 | Jin Mori | 8.5/10 | DPS / Best Leader Buff |
| 6 | Gilgamesh | 8/10 | DPS / Nuke / Summoner |
| 7 | Free Rent | 8/10 | Hybrid DPS / Support |
| 8 | Dio (with Soul) | 7/10 | Support / Time Stop |
| 9 | Ichigo | 7/10 | Light DPS |
| 10 | Jin Wu | 6.5/10 | AoE Clear / Fallen Off |
Rimuru deals an astonishing 4 million damage every 2.8 seconds with full AOE and 630 range when fully set up. However, you must fill his skill crafting using gluttony to unlock his 22 billion damage nukes and perfect seal passive. He requires active gameplay to reach maximum potential.
Acquire the Godly Unit
Pull from the summoning banners during rate-up events to secure top-tier Godly units like Rimuru or Jin Mori.
Unlock the Required Soul
Souls are mandatory for certain Godly units. Escanor and Dio are significantly weaker without their specific soul upgrades equipped.
Max Out Upgrades
Apply Glitch and Glorious upgrades to maximize base stats. This drastically increases the damage output per hit.
Optimize the Leader Slot
Place units like Jin Mori in the leader slot to grant the team 100% increased ability damage, doubling nuke effectiveness.
Sub-Meta and Starter DPS Units
Not every player has access to LastStandian or maxed Godly units. The sub-meta tier includes highly capable Ultimate and Celestial units that provide excellent damage for mid-game progression and specific game modes.
| Unit Name | Rarity | Element | Best Game Mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| Poche (Made in Heaven) | Ultimate | Light | Stalls / Nukes |
| Aura Farmer (Jin Wu) | Ultimate | Nature | Stalls / Crit Buffer |
| Ulmiorra (Tercera) | Ultimate | Nature | Late Game / Nukes |
| Ruru (Hell King) | Ultimate | Nature | Starter / Stalls |
| Moon Demon (Demon Art) | Ultimate | Dark | Sub-Meta DPS |
| True Dragon (God) | Godly | Perfect Seal | Stalls / Breach |
| Wrath (Assault) | Ultimate | Dark | Nukes / Starters |
| Kenpunchi (Kai) | Celestial | Fire | Sub-Meta DPS |
Itadoki (Shrine), Angelist (Deity), and Devil & Spirit (Union Dive) are listed as top starters. If you reroll your account, prioritize obtaining these units as they remain viable deep into the endgame.
Best Units by Game Mode
Different game modes reward different unit compositions. While raw DPS is important, utility, range, and stall capabilities matter just as much in harder content like Final Expedition and Spiral Trials.
| Game Mode | Top Pick | Second Pick | Third Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| Story & Legend | Shimon (Supreme Commander) | Boku (TUI) | Itadoki (Shrine) |
| Raids | Shimon (Supreme Commander) | Boku (TUI) | Itadoki (Shrine) |
| Final Expedition [HARD] | Bobak Buff | Ulmiorra (Tercera) | Devil & Spirit (Union Dive) |
| Spiral Trials | Unahono (Kai) | Itadoki (Shrine) | Nature's Scientist |
| Breach | Boku (TUI) | Itadoki (Shrine) | Shady Scientist (Kai) |
| Boss Rush | Shimon (Supreme Commander) | Boku (TUI) | Itadoki (Shrine) |
Pure DPS is not always the answer. Units like Bulmy and Idol (Pop-Star!) consistently appear in the top rankings for Raids, Survival, and Dungeons because their support buffs amplify your entire team's damage output.
DPS Optimization Checklist:
- Equip the correct Soul for your primary DPS unit
- Place a buffer like Shimon or Jin Mori in the leader slot
- Max out Glitch and Glorious upgrades for stat boosts
- Match elemental advantages for 300% bonus damage
- Include a stall unit like Poche for difficult boss waves
