Anime Origins mythics tier list: 2026 Meta Rankings

This Anime Origins mythics tier list ranks the strongest units by damage, utility, scaling, team requirements, and performance across common game modes. SS units should receive the highest investment, while S+ and S units remain excellent alternatives when your roster or placement requirements favor them.

The ranking uses the SS-to-D structure commonly used for Anime Origins unit evaluations. Some units perform differently depending on nearby allies, debuffs, transformations, or map placement, so a lower general ranking does not automatically make a unit unusable.

Video Highlights:

• Madaro is valued for exceptional burst damage and scaling.
• Cursed Lover provides flexible ability copying and strong damage.
• Valcrad combines boss control, damage, and utility.
• Goju is considered one of the strongest support choices.
• Bluma stands out for economy and long-stage farming value.

SS-tier units combine multiple advantages instead of relying on a single narrow mechanic. They can deal substantial damage while adding crowd control, scaling, copying, or boss utility. S+ units are close behind and may become the better choice when your map, placement type, or team composition favors them.

SS Tier Breakdown

Madaro (Edo Tensei) is the leading pure damage option in this ranking. His Heaven Splitter attack provides heavy area damage, while additional attacks and calamity-style scaling allow him to become more effective as combat continues. His crowd-control resistance and extra stun effects also make him dependable in difficult stages.

Cursed Lover (Pure Love) is one of the most flexible units available. His ability to copy and store active abilities gives him value in teams with powerful utility units. Because his damage and copied tools change with the rest of the lineup, he is especially attractive for experienced players with a developed roster.

Valcrad (Unleashed) offers a balanced kit with damage, critical scaling, range improvement, and boss control. His Coffin Trap can stun a boss for seven seconds according to the available unit breakdown. Bleeding-related bonuses and stronger restriction levels further improve his performance in teams that can maintain those conditions.

S+ Tier Breakdown

Starku (Primordial) is a powerful Mythic nuker. His main advantage is burst damage, making him useful when a wave or boss must be eliminated quickly. He is less flexible than the SS picks, but his direct damage remains valuable.

Bon (Purgatory) is a hybrid support and economy unit. He provides money based on kills and can contribute more than a standard farmer while still supporting the team. His value increases when a stage gives your units enough opportunities to secure kills.

Igritto (Commander Starku) can become one of the strongest DPS choices when paired with the debuff support his kit requires. Without that setup, his performance is less consistent. Treat him as a composition-dependent carry rather than a universal first pick.

Goju (Honored One) is a premier support option with slow and domain-based utility. He also contributes damage, which makes him more valuable than a support that only improves allies.

Tango (Star of Festivals) is a strong Ground option for lineups that need dependable coverage in that placement category. He is below the top three because the available evaluations do not identify the same exceptional scaling or flexibility found in SS.

S-tier units are reliable choices that can remain useful through advanced progression. A-tier units are more specialized, but they can still perform well when their mechanics match the stage. This group contains several strong boss killers, area-damage units, placement specialists, and farming tools.

Damage and Boss Specialists

Noroto (Linked) gains damage, cooldown, and range during his Nine Tails’ Cloak transformation. His recurring area burst gives him better long-stage value than a unit with only strong opening damage.

Tojei (Sorcerer Killer) offers powerful boss damage and Neutral typing. His major drawback is that he cannot receive buffs, which reduces the value of support-heavy teams. Place him in lineups where his independent damage matters more than team auras.

Aneko (Queen) provides full area coverage and increases damage as enemies lose health. This makes her effective against groups and weakened targets, particularly when enemies remain within her attack range.

Goki (Super 3) is a dependable boss-focused choice. His Fighting Spirit stacks improve damage and critical chance over time, giving him room to scale during extended encounters.

Konpatchi (Unleashed) is a solid offensive unit that becomes more useful against weakened enemies. He is not as flexible as the SS choices, but he can help finish priority targets.

Utility and Progression Picks

Vegita (Super) is a strong Hill unit with useful multi-placement potential. His value improves when paired with Goki, although that relationship keeps him below the most independent Mythics.

Shinaru (Butterfly Dance) gains special value against healing enemies because of her bleed and damage-over-time effects. She is a matchup pick rather than a universal support.

Bluma (Data Analyst) is one of the most important economy units for Infinite Mode. Her Training Data can eventually provide a 30% Income boost, making her increasingly useful as waves continue.

Itsugo (Dangai) performs well on longer maps because his damage increases as enemies move farther along the path. He is a practical choice when the map gives enemies enough travel distance.

Zeldo (Piety) works especially well alongside Melio. His personal damage can increase during boss situations, but he lacks the broad utility that separates the highest-ranked units.

B-tier units can help during progression, especially when your account lacks Mythics from higher tiers. They are often limited by inconsistent effects, narrow placement, or lower combat output. C- and D-tier units should generally be treated as temporary options rather than long-term investments.

Melio (Assault) has an impressive range of possible effects, including Petrify, Burn, Slow, damage buffs, and other Commandments. His weakness is cycling: he may not provide the exact effect your team needs at a specific moment.

Itsoda is a useful Hill unit for early coverage and is identified as the strongest Legendary option in the referenced ranking. He is worth using while waiting for stronger Hill choices, especially if airborne coverage is important.

Leorio is a budget-friendly farming specialist. His refund mechanic helps recover part of an upgrade cost when upgrades occur within his range, but he contributes little meaningful combat power.

Oxi, Mykie, and Sosuke can fill gaps during roster development. Sosuke is placed in C because stronger Ground units are likely to replace him. Lower-rarity units belong in D for this ranking and should usually receive limited resources.

Use this checklist before finalizing a Mythic lineup. It focuses on practical team construction rather than ranking units by damage alone.
