Anime Origins Tier List by Role and Mode

Compare Anime Origins team roles for Story, Infinite, and Raids with confidence labels, checked dates, and direct links to the six-slot team builder.

Checked August 15, 2026Role priorities—not unsupported unit power ranks

Quick answer

Team jobs are more reliable than named-unit ranks right now

For Story, prioritize mixed targeting, an opening carry, economy and AoE. Infinite adds scaling and utility. Raids raise boss damage and support/control. Exact named-unit stats are still too incomplete for a defensible universal S/A/B list.

This Anime Origins tier list ranks visible team jobs as Core, Strong complement, Situational or Research lead by mode, with confidence, a checked date and Team Builder actions. Named launch units remain an unordered evidence queue rather than unsupported power ranks.

Ranking confidence stays tied to the checked mode and visible role, never to an unsupported unit-power claim.

FAQ

Tier-list questions

What is the best Anime Origins unit?

The current evidence is not strong enough for one universal answer. Choose the role your Story, Infinite or Raid team is missing.

Why are there no exact S, A and B unit ranks?

Current named-unit stats and balance evidence are incomplete, so exact ranks would overstate confidence.

Which roles matter most in Story?

Start with target coverage, a dependable opening, economy and AoE, then add boss damage as stages demand it.

How do I turn this tier guide into a team?

Open the Team Builder, choose a mode and tag the capabilities of the six units you own.
