Anime Last Stand Godly Tier List Overview
Godly units represent the absolute pinnacle of power in Anime Last Stand. These rare units define the meta, shape team compositions, and determine whether you can clear the hardest content. This tier list evaluates every Godly unit based on their performance in modern content, including damage output, utility, range, and ease of use.
Video Highlights:
- All 18 Godly units ranked across five tiers
- Simone crowned as the strongest unit with 500 billion DPS
- Johnny surprisingly ranked as the third-best Godly
- Sukuna identified as the worst Godly unit
- Team synergy heavily impacts rankings for Dio and Escanor
The ranking criteria focus on several key factors: raw damage per second (DPS), area of effect (AoE) coverage, attack speed (SPA), utility abilities, and how well each unit performs without requiring extensive team support. Units that need specific souls or extreme boosts are evaluated both standalone and with their optimal setups.
Tier lists are inherently subjective and based on personal experience. Your results may vary depending on your team composition, upgrade levels, and the specific stages you are tackling. Use this as a guideline rather than an absolute ranking.
Tier Rankings Summary
Below is the complete ranking of all Godly units, organized from the strongest meta-defining picks to the units that struggle in current content.
| Tier | Units | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Meta | Simone, Shinra, Garo, Naruto, Rimuru, Johnny | Best in class, carry runs |
| Great | Dio, Escanor, Sung Jin Woo, Fernan, Wukong | Very strong with minor investment |
| Good | Ichigo, Gilgamesh | Solid but falling behind |
| Bad | Denji | Underwhelming stats and mechanics |
| Unusable | Sukuna, Goku, Luffy | Need reworks or buffs urgently |
If you are a new player, focus your resources on acquiring Johnny first. He is the best early-game Godly, provides incredible support with his wormhole and knockback abilities, and remains relevant in virtually every team composition.
Meta Tier Godly Units
Meta tier units are the undisputed kings of Anime Last Stand. They dominate every game mode, require minimal team support, and deliver exceptional performance whether you are tackling boss rushes, extreme stages, or legacy content.
Simone
- 500 billion DPS at upgrade 11-12
- Needs Ladies Man for full AoE
- Ridiculously strong nuke damage
- Grindy but absolutely worth it
Shinra
- Does literally everything in the game
- Elemental Grace boosts all stats
- Low SPA, high damage, massive range
- Self-sufficient, no team needed
Garo
- Insane crit chance and crit damage
- Huge range and attack speed
- Only needs extreme boost
- Weak early game, monster late
Naruto
- Life drain ability scales forever
- Supports and deals damage
- Meta-defining since release
- Slowly losing value but still top tier
Rimuru
- Meta strength but boring design
- Requires two rare support units
- Long sacrifice cooldowns (70 seconds)
- Strong but tedious to use
Johnny
- Best early-game Godly in the game
- Forces enemies to walk back
- Wormhole ability for crowd control
- Used on literally every team comp
Johnny pairs well with virtually any Meta unit. His ability to push enemies back into range ensures your damage dealers like Simone and Shinra get maximum value from every attack.
Great and Good Tier Units
The Great and Good tiers contain units that are still very capable of clearing content but require either specific team setups, have aging stats, or lack the all-around dominance of Meta units.
| Unit | Tier | Key Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dio | Great | Full AoE with Jotaro, time stops, support buffs | Too many moving parts, needs soul + Jotaro |
| Escanor | Great | Unlimited range, fire DoT, revive ability | 7.2s SPA is very slow |
| Sung Jin Woo | Great | Shadow summons, nuke potential | Clunky system index, broken boss interactions |
| Fernan | Great | Golem summon, 7.5T nuke, nature buffs | Underrated, needs more recognition |
| Wukong | Great | Clone diffusion for 1.16B damage, status effects | Damage falling off in modern content |
| Ichigo | Good | Simple to use, nearly 1B damage, high crit | One-dimensional, just raw damage |
| Gilgamesh | Good | Modern kit, 10,000x nuke potential | Awful early game, needs damage soul |
Dio transforms from a decent unit to a Great tier monster when paired with an extreme-boosted Jotaro. This combo grants Dio full AoE, additional time stops, lower SPA, and range buffs for the entire team. The investment is heavy but the payoff is significant.
Bad and Unusable Tier Units
Not every Godly unit lives up to the rarity. These units suffer from outdated kits, poor stat scaling, or mechanics that actively punish the player for using them.
| Unit | Tier | Core Issues | Potential Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Denji | Bad | Sukuna-style cycling mechanic, no nuke, bad base stats | Make status buffs permanent |
| Sukuna | Unusable | Vows passive is broken, terrible DPS (80M/s), punished for using nukes | Keep all vows permanently, buff World Slash |
| Goku | Unusable | Stats cannot keep up with modern stages | Needs extreme boost or soul upgrade |
| Luffy | Unusable | Horrible damage stats, one-time nuke with infinite cooldown | Lower nuke cooldown to 1000s, buff base stats |
Sukuna suffers from what can be called the "Sukuna Problem" — a mechanic where the unit cycles through temporary buffs and debuffs rather than maintaining permanent power. His vow system causes him to lose buffs upon resetting, and his best nuke (World Slash) is locked behind a flawed progression system. Even with the Glitched and Glorious upgrade, he only reaches 517 million total damage with an absurdly long SPA.
Despite their low rankings, both Goku and Luffy have redeeming qualities. Goku's spirit bomb nuke mechanic is visually impressive and conceptually cool, while Luffy's leader skill permanently slows all enemies by 15% and increases their damage taken by 5%. If the developers release extreme boosts or souls for these units, they could jump multiple tiers overnight.
Building Your Godly Team
Constructing an effective team around your Godly units requires understanding their strengths, weaknesses, and synergies. Follow these steps to maximize your Godly unit potential.
Identify Your Primary Godly
Determine which Godly unit you have invested in and check their tier placement. Meta units like Garo and Shinra can function independently, while units like Dio and Simone require specific support units to reach full potential.
Build Support Around Your Godly
Pair your Godly with complementary units. If using Dio, acquire and extreme boost Jotaro for full AoE and additional time stops. For Simone, bring Ladies Man to reduce SPA and enable full AoE coverage. Johnny works as a universal support for any composition.
Optimize Upgrade Path
Not all Godly units need max upgrades to be effective. Simone only needs upgrade 11-12 (approximately 2 million cost) to deal 500 billion DPS. Focus your early resources on getting key upgrade thresholds rather than maxing every unit immediately.
Handle Early Game Weaknesses
Most Godly units struggle in early waves. Exceptions include Dio and Johnny, who are excellent from placement. Use cheaper AoE units to survive early waves, then transition to your Godly once you have enough cash for critical upgrades.
Master Ability Timing
Time your nukes and active abilities carefully. Fernan's nuke combines time stop, enemy rewind, and extinguish for 30 seconds. Shinra's Elemental Grace should be activated consistently. Rimuru's sacrifice mechanic requires patience but delivers massive power spikes.
Godly Unit Investment Checklist:
- Acquire at least one Meta tier Godly unit
- Obtain necessary souls for units like Dio and Escanor
- Secure extreme boosts for support units (Jotaro, Genos)
- Unlock Johnny for universal team support
- Practice ability timing in easier stages before extreme content
Godly units are expensive to acquire and upgrade. Prioritize one or two Godly units rather than spreading resources thin across multiple units. A fully invested Meta unit will outperform several partially upgraded Great tier units.
Key Statistics Comparison
Understanding the raw numbers behind each Godly unit helps make informed decisions about team composition and resource allocation.
| Unit | Approx. DPS | Key Ability | Range | SPA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Simone | ~500B/s | Massive nuke | Full AoE (with support) | Low (with Ladies Man) |
| Shinra | Variable | Elemental Grace (all buffs) | High (increases with buffs) | Low |
| Garo | Very High | Crit damage stacking | High | Low |
| Naruto | High | Life drain (% HP removal) | Full AoE | Moderate |
| Johnny | Low | Wormhole knockback | Moderate | Moderate |
| Escanor | High | Unlimited range AoE | Full map | 7.2s (very slow) |
| Sukuna | ~80M/s | World Slash nuke | High | Very long |
| Fernan | High | 7.5T nuke + time stop | Moderate | Moderate |
DPS numbers are approximate and vary based on upgrade levels, team buffs, and active abilities. Units like Shinra have variable DPS because Elemental Grace dynamically changes their stats. Always test units in actual stages to get a feel for their real performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the best Godly unit in Anime Last Stand?
Simone is currently the strongest Godly unit, dealing approximately 500 billion damage per second at upgrade 11-12. However, he requires Ladies Man for full AoE coverage. Shinra and Garo are close behind as self-sufficient Meta units that do not need specific team support.
Q: Which Godly unit is best for new players?
Johnny is the best Godly for new players. He provides excellent support with his wormhole ability that forces enemies to walk backward, works in virtually every team composition, and is one of the only Godly units that performs well in early game stages.
Q: Why is Sukuna ranked so low on the Anime Last Stand Godly tier list?
Sukuna suffers from a flawed vow system that causes him to lose buffs when resetting, extremely low damage output (approximately 80 million DPS), and a long SPA. His best nuke ability is locked behind a problematic progression system, and even with upgrades, he cannot compete with modern content requirements.
Q: Do I need souls for Godly units to be viable?
Not all Godly units require souls. Meta units like Garo, Shinra, and Naruto perform exceptionally without souls. However, units like Dio and Escanor benefit significantly from their soul counterparts, elevating them from decent to Great tier performance.
