Final Thoughts
The S-Tier units like Sun Woo, Brulo, and Goko Perfected Super 3 dominate the current meta with insane DPS and utility, while A-Tier options like Goju and Shunks can also carry teams if built correctly.
If you’re just starting, early-game fillers like Zoro or Sanje can help you clear waves, but your goal should always be to pull higher-tier Mythic and Secret units. Don’t forget to farm gems, check banners, and use codes to maximize your chances.
