Which unit should I build first?
Build the strongest carry you can keep using across several maps. If your waves are stable but bosses survive, build boss DPS next.

Anime Squadron Units Wiki
This unit hub is built around decisions: what role a unit fills, whether it deserves traits, how it is unlocked, and when it should be evolved.
The official Roblox description confirms summoning, upgrading, leveling and evolving units. The expanded unit notes below add external-reference unlock paths for Gometa, Woo, Madora, Shanron and Shield Hero.

| Unit | How to get | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Gometa (SSJ4) | Evolve Goki to Full Power, finish the related questline, then gather Primal Core materials. | Top long-fight carry target and the unit most worth planning evolution materials around. |
| Woo (Shadow) | Banner Secret reported with a 20,000 summon pity. | One of the highest DPS targets, but requires gem discipline and pity planning. |
| Madora (Gunbai) | Clear Ninja Village Squadron Act 4. | Strong burn and boss-killing value, with a clearer progression target than pure banner luck. |
| Shanron (Omega) | Clear GT City Raid Act 4, then plan for a costly evolution path. | Versatile DPS, tank and support value, but the investment cost makes timing important. |
| Shield Hero | Battle Pass reward. | Best practical tank before Gometa can carry durability duties. |
Unit role model
5 entriesSwipe table sideways
| Role | Use first? | Trait focus | Best use | Avoid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carry | Yes | Damage, speed, crit or multi-hit value | Clearing waves and carrying story progression | Rerolling before you know the unit is a keeper |
| Boss DPS | Yes, after your carry | Single-target damage, burst uptime, boss shred | Boss stages, raids and high-health waves | Replacing your only wave clear too early |
| Support | Usually no | Range, cooldown, buff uptime or control | Scaling a strong carry or slowing dangerous lanes | Overinvesting before your damage core is stable |
| Economy | Only if the stage is long enough | Income, placement cost or upgrade efficiency | Long routes, endless and resource farming | Short maps where the unit never pays back |
| Tank / Control | Situational | Survival, lane control, stun or slow uptime | Protecting weak lanes and buying time | Treating control as a replacement for damage |
Unit data fields
Use these fields to judge a unit before investing traits, evolution materials or team slots.
5 entriesSwipe table sideways
| Field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Role | Carry, Boss DPS, Support, Economy, Tank or Flex changes build priority. |
| Recommended trait | Prevents wasting Trait Shards or Perfect Cubes on the wrong stat. |
| Upgrade breakpoints | Shows when the unit actually becomes worth the cost. |
| Evolution value | Ranks whether rare materials should go here first. |
| Best map type | Some units are better in story, boss stages, farms or endless. |
Unit build order
- Pick one carry and level it until normal waves stop leaking.
- Add boss DPS when the route is stable but bosses survive too long.
- Add support or control after your damage units are worth amplifying.
- Add economy when the map lasts long enough for income to pay back.
- Save evolution materials for units that stay useful in several modes.
Player questions
Questions players ask
Quick answers for the checks players usually make before redeeming codes, rerolling traits, or changing a team.
Do all units need individual pages?
Yes, once names and stats are verified. The highest-value pages should start with rare units, secret units and units with strong traits.
What makes a unit worth evolving?
A unit is worth evolving when the evolved form changes clear speed, boss damage or team scaling enough to affect your main route.
