Which avatars, companions, races and weapons are worth keeping?
This is a tiered entity comparison across avatars, companions, summons, races and weapons, with a per-role multiplier where one could be reproduced and the source for each row. Placement follows verified or creator-measured values rather than popularity, and every row carries a confidence label: anything whose multiplier could not be reproduced is held out of the ranking instead of placed on a guess.
Anime Breaker Tier List
Which avatars, companions, summons, races and weapons are worth building toward — and, because the game publishes no multipliers, what the evidence behind each placement actually is.
Last updated . Ranked for a solo build.
How placement and confidence work here
Every row carries a confidence label. A row marked verified had its value reproduced from an in-game panel or a developer source. A row marked creator-reported is placed on the role it fills, because a player measured it but we could not reproduce the number. A row marked held had a widely quoted figure that no source we could reach supported, so the row is listed without that figure. Rows where nothing was reproducible at all are held out of the ranking entirely rather than placed on a guess, which is why this list is shorter than most.
Every row is placed by the job it does in a build — damage, area damage, hit frequency, resource generation — before any number is considered.
A row marked creator-reported is a role placement backed by a player measurement. A row marked held had a widely quoted number we could not reproduce, so it is listed without that number.
Where two sources disagree on a percentage, neither is printed. Averaging two unlike measurements produces a number that neither source supports.
Because damage multiplies across layers, an unfilled slot costs more than a lower tier in a slot you already have. Ranking a card S-tier does not make it the right purchase for an account with an empty slot.

Why each placement sits where it does
Shadow Monarch
Placed first because it is the avatar tier most often named as the endgame pick, and because it arrives from the top shadow portal band rather than from a card pack. Its own multiplier has not been reproduced from a panel, so the placement is role-based.
Lion Sin of Pride
Its value is tied to a day-cycle condition rather than being flat, which is why recordings show it outperforming other companions in bursts and not in others. The conditional behaviour is reported; the percentage is not published.
Chimera Ant King
Fills the multi-obstacle niche: it damages a radius rather than a single target, which matters in zones that spawn clusters. Ranking reflects that role, not a measured damage figure.
Shadow Beru
Ranked for attack cadence rather than raw damage, because it repeatedly triggers critical-hit effects from the Class Tree. Its own coefficient is not published.
Saiyan
The range component is the part that matters: a wider aura hits more spawns per tick, which compounds with the M5 range node. Which race pair is best is genuinely contested, so the tier reflects the damage role rather than claiming a single winner.
Shadow Bloodline
The only race reported to touch the shadow layer as well as the base stat line. Placed beside Saiyan rather than above it because the ordering between the two is not settled in any source we could check.
Hyakushiki Guanyin
Held out of the top tier deliberately. The claim that circulates is a per-second hit count, and that figure comes from a single source we could not reproduce, so the weapon is placed on its role rather than its quoted number.
Team composition changes the answer
Boss damage is pooled across every player in the instance, so a redundancy that looks wasteful in a solo build can be correct in a group. A group that already carries two area-damage companions gets more from a hit-frequency summon than from a third area roll, which is a different conclusion from the table above. The four secret boss pages list the group-only considerations for each fight.
What this list does not claim
- · Any entity's multiplier. Not one is printed, because none could be reproduced.
- · A complete roster. Only the entities named in reproducible sources appear here.
- · A confirmed soft-cap date. The companion change is reported, not announced.
- · A settled ordering between Saiyan and Shadow Bloodline. Both are listed at the top rather than one above the other.
Compare this against the database index, which lists what is verified and what is still a gap for each system.
