Story / Legend
Start with a farm, accessible ground damage and Hill coverage. Vegeta and Goku are practical early evolution goals; Itsugo can grow from Rare. Fix air leaks before buying another ground carry.

Choose for the mode you need to clear and the materials you can earn. Start with the mode recommendations and acquisition gates, then use the roster below to compare individual roles.
Best picks for your mode and progression
Raids
Use a stable evolved damage core, anti-air and economy. Ban adds meals and income after his Fairy Forest unlock; he does not replace the damage needed to earn that first copy.
See the route →JJK Rift
Reserve slots for economy, Hill damage and multiple rubble placements. An unevolved Meliodas is one reported rubble option. Successful clears advance Yuta pity; failed attempts do not.
See the route →Infinity Mansion
Add control to an established damage and economy core. Gojo and Yuta's copied actives can extend attack windows; prioritize reliable control timing over the highest tier letter alone.

Compare the cost of reaching a finished unit
Ichigo / Itsugo
Rare banner base → evolution chain; accessible ground damage.
Ban / Bon
Fairy Forest Act 3 Hard → 300-petal Fountain of Youth; support.
Gojo / Goju
Banner → Rift evolution items; control with a later investment gate.
Madara / Modora
Tablet, Gunbai and Trial II; a quest target rather than a banner roll.
Yuta / Cursed Lover
JJK Rift, 40-clear pity; Ring and Sword for evolution.
Bulma / Bluma
Economy slot: compare income contribution rather than carry damage.
Ban and Bon refer to the same character. Compare the base and evolved forms together with their resource costs: a raid reward, a Rift reward and a banner summon require different farming plans.
| Tier | Unit | Role | How to get | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | Super Saiyan Wanderer | Saiyan damage | Summon with gems; the high-value chase unit of the current meta. | Get and evolve |
| S | Cursed-Eye Sorcerer | control and area damage | Summon; strong AOE makes it a top early+mid carry. | Get and evolve |
| S | Blazing Vegeta Warrior (Vegeta) | Fire Hill attacker | Summon Vegita from the banner, then evolve the base unit at the lobby Evolve area. | Get and evolve |
| A | Shadow Strike Assassin | ground burst | Summon; good hard-mode boss burst. | Get and evolve |
| A | Pirate King Leader | team support | Summon or story reward. | Get and evolve |
| B | Titan-Shifter Warrior | lane control | Summon; budget tank for early story. | Get and evolve |
| B | Spiky-Hair Stand User | beginner damage | Summon or story reward; a solid first-session unit. | Get and evolve |
| C | Hunter Inspecter | budget progression | Common summon; placeholder until a better carry. | Get and evolve |

| S | Sasuke | Ground damage with Black Flame | Summon Sosuke from the banner, then evolve the base unit at the lobby Evolve area. | Get and evolve |
| S | Alucard | Secret bleed and critical-hit carry | Reach player level 10 and summon Valcrad at Mysa. The focused Valcrad guide reports a 0.01% Secret chance. | Get and evolve |
| A | Ban | Raid support: meals and kill income | Reach level 10, then farm Fairy Forest Act 3 on Hard for the Ban drop. Ban is also called Bon; IMMORTAL is a trait label in showcase titles, not his summon rarity. | Get and evolve |

| S | Madara Uchiha | Quest-unlocked wave clear / burst | Madara (Modora) is a quest reward: complete the Tablet questline, craft Ghost Gunbai, then use the Key of the Ghost and clear Hidden Sand Ghost’s Trial II. He is not a banner summon. | Get and evolve |
| S | Yuta | Rift carry that copies active abilities | Clear the Shibuya Metro JJK Rift for Cursed Lover (Yuta). The September 4 guide reports a 2% drop and a guaranteed copy on clear 40; failed runs do not advance pity. | Get and evolve |

| S | Goku | Boss and healthy-target carry | Summon Goki from the banner, then evolve the base unit at the lobby Evolve area. | Get and evolve |

Use the mode teams and evolution cost to choose between units in the same tier.
How to use this list (realistic expectations)
How to use this list (realistic expectations)
- Madara is a quest and Trial II reward, not a summon target. Other S-tier goals follow their own acquisition routes; build a reliable income and clearing team first.
- Start with a reliable A-tier carry + an income unit (Bulma) so story-clears fund your gem loop. Swap up as summons land.
- Compare your team by mode: cover a carry, Hill damage and economy before investing in another ground attacker.
- Evolving the right unit beats summoning more of the wrong one. Pair this list with the evolve guide below.
Tier
How this tier list is built
Compare the unit’s role with your current failure: ground damage, air coverage, income or control. A role you lack can matter more than a tier letter.
Consider the full acquisition and evolution cost. Madara quests, Yuta Rift pity and Ban’s Raid shop cannot be substituted by more banner rolls.
Update 1 added Rainu Harto, Shali, Emmy, Sobaru & Beti, Jolius, Prisla and Kenshen, according to MrGuider (September 5). The older S–C table does not assign them new balance-test ratings.
S-Tier — High-investment targets
S: S-Tier — High-investment targets
Check the acquisition route first: a quest Secret, Rift reward and banner unit use different resources. Add the target when your team can farm its requirements.

Use an accessible unit to fill a missing role while building an evolution or replacement. An earlier-form letter alone does not describe its evolved potential.

FAQ
What does S-tier mean in Anime Origins?
Here S-tier is a high-investment label from the earlier roster index. Choose a unit for its mode role and attainable acquisition route; it is not a guarantee of the best result in every mode.
Is this a complete unit list?
No. The 24 linked profiles preserve our existing roster, including aliases. Update 1 additions are named in the methodology; the table is not a complete live roster.
Are the odds real?
Yuta has a 2% chance per successful Rift clear and pity at 40 wins; Valcrad has a 0.01% banner chance after level 10. Follow each profile’s acquisition route.
Should I reroll for an S-tier?
First identify a missing role. A usable economy, Hill and evolved damage core is a better immediate goal than rolling for a letter; quest and Rift Secrets do not come from ordinary banner rerolls.
