Best Units

Looking for the best units in Anime Galaxies after Update 1? This page expands the Tier List Hub into role-focused picks for Story, Nightmare, Endless, Battle Tower, and Raids. Anime Galaxies is Champions TD’s free Roblox anime tower defense (Place 83869074416117) with online co-op up to 25 players. You summon with gems, place on the path, and upgrade with battle money.

Use this together with Meta Teams for full mode comps, Secret Units for unlock routes, How to Summon, and Traits and Stats. Name spellings follow in-game parody cards (Bald Hero, Freezo, Gowko, Spedwag, and so on).

Update 1 meta snapshot

Published Update 1 lists still open every serious board with Spedwag for farm, bridge air with Foji until hybrids arrive, then stack carries such as Bald Hero, Freezo, Demon King, Dofi, Shanko, Roger, Ultra Gowko, and Lawo, with supports Tango, Megomu, and Itoshi. Story boards lean learning and level gates; Nightmare wants denser DPS and air; Endless wants stall; Tower needs cheap openers when farms are banned; raids want key-efficient boss damage. Role templates and example fives live on Meta Teams — this page ranks who belongs in those slots.

Best overall (S-tier consensus)

Bald Hero (Serious)

Secret hybrid from the Battle Tower shop after battle 50 (Battle Tower, Update 0.5). Elite boss damage, strong follow-ups, and early air capability compared with pure ground carries. One of the first Mythic trait candidates — Galactic if you place a single copy, Chosen if you prefer flexible placement.

Freezo (Golden)

Secret Frieza parody from Namek-style portals. Competes for top DPS while stunning to stall lanes. Farm portals and pity as described on Secret Units. Excellent Nightmare boss, Tower Master, and mid-lane control piece.

Ultra Gowko

Secret Goku-parody hybrid with large AoE that hits fliers. Capsule and Rainbow Star event routing makes him a stars sink worth planning on the Farming Guide. Pair with Spedwag so upgrades keep pace with his power spikes.

Roger (Pirate King)

Secret with stun, shield interaction, and team-facing damage tools. Slightly less raw DPS than Freezo in some rankings, but the utility package keeps him high on most Update 1 lists. Aura does not stack — one copy is enough.

Demon King

Secret Muzan parody unlocked through Endless Invitations and the late-wave fight. AoE bleed and takedown explosions shred crowds; less of a pure single-target boss specialist than Bald Hero or Freezo.

Shanko

Update 1 hybrid that deals heavy damage and amplifies allies in range while offering AoE stun windows. Priority pull whenever he is available on your account.

Lawo (K-ROOM)

Displacement and percent-style pressure that sends dangerous leads back through defenses. Control-first pick for co-op Nightmare and Endless when raw DPS is already covered.

Dofi (Birdcage)

Update 1 hybrid meta piece with ground string traps, puppet DPS, and displacement stall. Frequently listed among the best hybrids alongside Bald Hero and Ultra Gowko.

Spedwag

Epic farm unit and the only non-Secret that belongs in every best-units conversation. Place early, protect him, and push Bounty Hunter on the Traits Tier List. Skipping Spedwag because he is Epic is the most common account-slowing mistake — and the first rule on Meta Teams.

Best A-tier bridges

  • Sokonu (King) — Secret-quality DoTs and explosions; great crowd tool beside Demon King; also tied to raid-key discussions on Raids.
  • Ishgo (Perfect Mask) — Strong beginner-friendly boss damage Mythic.
  • Goju (Six Eyes) — Mid-game AoE hybrid; falls off if left trait-starved in late Nightmare.
  • Zid (Atomic) — Hybrid burst nuke alternative when Gowko is missing; common Tower flex.
  • Stork (Resurrection) — Hybrid AoE that likes spacing; solitude-style bonuses in some kits.
  • Joren (Unlimited) — Hybrid that can hit air even when DPS is modest.
  • Aokuji (Ice Age) — Update 1 stall support with excellent CC.
  • Akaino (Justice) — Magma pools and execute-style ground DPS.
  • Foji — Early air and slow; keep until a true hybrid Secret replaces him.
  • Itoshi (Awakened) — DPS/support hybrid with time-stop style stall on evolve paths.
  • Megomu (Shadows) — Hound slows and support value.
  • Tango (Flamboyant) — Damage buff hybrid that fits almost any mode.

These units clear content and fill Players Hub roster gaps while you chase portal, capsule, Tower, raid, and Invitation Secrets.

Replace these early

Bench as soon as better cards arrive:

  • Rare: San-G, Zorto, Soskee, Sakoora
  • Epic fillers except Spedwag: temporary Gowko / Itodoki / Hippo / Vegira-style pulls

Do not feed them Mythic Trait Crystals or premium Stat Locks. Summon guidance is on How to Summon; onboarding order is on Getting Started.

Example boards

New account: Spedwag, Foji, best Mythic owned, two Story fillers. Focus codes on the Codes page and crystal starts on Spedwag.

Update 1 climbing: Spedwag, Dofi or Bald Hero, Ultra Gowko or Shanko, Aokuji or Lawo, Tango buff if owned — expand on Meta Teams.

Tower / no-farm flex: Cheap opener, Foji, Freezo, Demon King, Zid or Roger (Battle Tower).

Raid ready: Spedwag, Bald Hero, Freezo or Ultra Gowko, Roger or Demon King, Lawo or Dofi (Raids).

Secret hunting: Same spine, but spend out-of-match gold, stars, BP, or raid keys on the route you chose in Secret Units instead of random gem banners.

Investment order

  1. Unlock and trait Spedwag.
  2. Secure air (Foji → hybrid Secret).
  3. Put Enraged → Hyper Speed / Chosen or Galactic on your best carry.
  4. Add stall only after leaks stop being damage problems.
  5. Re-read this page and Meta Teams after patches on Updates.

The best unit is the one that fixes your current leak. For most players that means Spedwag first, air second, headline Secret third — not three ground Rares with fancy names. When you are ready to lock a five-unit board per mode, open Meta Teams.
