Anime Rangers X Tier List (September 2025 Update 6.7)

Anime Rangers X has quickly become one of Roblox’s most strategic anime-inspired tower defense games.

With every patch, the developers shake up the balance, introduce new evolutions, and adjust the performance of older units. That means yesterday’s top-tier DPS might be outclassed today, and smart players need to stay updated.

The 6.7 update has shifted the landscape again with new Fairy Tail additions, rebalances, and buffs.

This guide is the definitive Anime Rangers X tier list, breaking down every ranger into Meta, SS, S, A, B, and C/D tiers, with details on their role, best trait, strengths, and weaknesses.

Whether you’re grinding Story Mode, farming Portals, pushing Infinite, or tackling Swarm, this list will help you decide which rangers are worth your resources.


How This Tier List Was Made

We ranked units using four key factors:

  1. Performance across all modes – Story, Swarm, Infinite, Portals.

  2. Cost efficiency – How much value you get per resource invested.

  3. Synergy – Buffs, debuffs, and how well units complement others.

  4. Scaling – Power spike early, mid, or late game.

Traits were also considered. In most cases, Sovereign is the go-to for DPS, Capitalist for supports and economy, Duplicator for multi-place units, and Seraph for healers or niche buffers.

Final Thoughts

The current Update 6.7 meta revolves around Shadow Monarch, Borus, Crimson Owl, Griffin, and Omega Shenron. These units are flexible across every mode, while supports like Griffin and Golden Will remain non-negotiable picks for top-tier clears.

If you’re new, prioritize Griffin + Shadow Monarch. If you’re advanced, chase Prodigy, Akuma, and Crimson Owl to push deeper into Infinite and Portal bosses.

This tier list will be updated again with the next major patch, so keep checking back.
