Tier List Hub

Anime Origins launched on Roblox on 14 August 2026 as an online co-op tower defense from Origins Project. The mid-August balance patch expanded the roster to 24 units and shifted the meta. This hub is the ranking desk for that live meta: which units carry public lobbies, which traits deserve Trait Rerolls, and which team shapes survive Story Mode, Infinite Mode, and Raids. Treat every letter grade as an early-meta snapshot, not a finished gospel. Banner luck, evolution materials, and the next balance patch will move names faster than a static chart can.

Read the lists in this order. Start with the unit tier list so you know whether your Secret or Mythic is a carry, a farm slot, a support, or a Hill placement. Cross-check kits on the units hub before you dump Gems into a name you cannot place. Then open the trait tier list and decide whether the unit is worth Immortal pity or should keep a cheap income roll. Finish on team builds so the lobby has cash, crowd control, Hill coverage, and a boss answer instead of five copies of the same damage dealer.

How these grades are scored

Ranks weigh clear speed, upgrade cost, range coverage, mode flexibility, and Hill necessity. A unit that melts Story waves but cannot stun a Raid boss does not automatically sit in S+. A farm unit that never kills the boss can still be A if the rest of the board cannot pay for upgrades without it. A Hill unit that covers flying enemies can be S even if its raw damage is lower than a Ground carry. Online co-op (up to 22 players, free private servers) changes the math: one Immortal trait per team means you do not stack the same Secret six times and call it a comp.

S+ means the unit or trait still wins when the rest of the account is behind. S means a reliable core once fed EXP. A is a specialist you keep on purpose. B is usable filler or incomplete data. C is economy-only. D is underwhelming. We do not publish an F row because even a weak Epic can hold a lane for one chapter if you refuse to over-upgrade it.

What belongs on each sub-page

The unit tier list tables 24 names from Madara (Edo Tensei) down to Roxi. Use it when a summon lands and you need a yes-or-no on feeding. The trait tier list lists every published roll chance, including Immortal’s one-per-team lock and Overseer pity. Use it before you tap Reroll on a keeper. Team builds turns those grades into beginner, farm, boss, DoT, and crit lineups you can copy into Story, Infinite, or Raid lobbies.

If you are still unlocking the Codes button, claim launch rewards first, then come back. Rankings assume you have at least one damage Mythic or Secret, one income slot, and one Hill placement. A brand-new board with only Epics should follow the beginner build instead of chasing S+ screenshots.

How often this hub will move

Launch week numbers came from public kits and early clears, not a year of tournament vods. Shinoru still has thin published data, so that row is a confidence warning, not a hidden buff. When Origins Project ships a new banner or nerfs Sosano uptime, the unit page moves first, then this hub’s summary. Discord remains the live news desk because there is no official Trello board.

Use the three lists as a loop, not a scoreboard. Pick a carry, park a farm slot beside it, place a Hill unit for flying coverage, and only spend Trait Rerolls after that carry survives a full Story chapter. A perfect DoT screenshot cannot save a lobby that still cannot pay for the next upgrade or leaks every flying wave.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions.

Is this Anime Origins tier list final?

No. It is an early-meta ranking after the 14 August 2026 launch and mid-August balance patch. Recheck the [unit tier list](/tier-list/units/) after the next patch.

Should I rank units or traits first?

Rank the unit first, then the trait. A C-tier Epic with Immortal still loses to a Secret with Ace. See the [trait tier list](/tier-list/traits/) for keep rules.

Do I need a Hill unit?

Yes, after Story chapter 4. Flying enemies ignore Ground units. Vegita is the best Mythic Hill. See [Hill units](/guides/hill-units/).

Where do I copy a full team?

Open [team builds](/tier-list/builds/) for beginner, farm, boss, DoT, and crit comps, then confirm passives on the [units hub](/players/).
