Anime Zero Tier List by Role: Best Fighters to Build
For early Story, build the fighter you can clear with reliably. For advanced runs, consider Absolute Illusion for crowd control, awakened Void Arbiter for damage, and Astral Blossom for team support.

Fighter tiers by investment and role
Roblox listed Anime Zero as Update 6 on November 6, 2026. These recommendations group fighters by when and where to invest. The recorded examples show specific kits and loadouts, including October footage. A head-to-head Update 6 test under matching conditions would be needed to rank damage across the full roster.
| Priority tier | Pick | Where it earns the slot |
|---|---|---|
| Starter · build now | Your most reliable current fighter | Early Story. Prefer an attack that can hit a pack and a rotation you can finish safely. Compare your own clear times before replacing it. |
| Progression · upgrade selectively | Your strongest owned fighter for the run | Harder Story and early boss practice. Commit to one upgrade at a time if it improves clears, survival, or a route to the materials you need. |
| Endgame · crowd control | Absolute Illusion (Aizen) | Its October 27 Update 5 kit shows a blink through enemies and a pulling attack. Test whether those moves improve your grouped clears. |
| Endgame · damage lead | Void Arbiter (Ye-0) | An October showcase uses awakened Ye-0 as the damage lead alongside Astral Blossom. The results depend on the build and buffs used in that run. |
| Endgame · team support | Astral Blossom (Astra Yao) | The October 12 showcase demonstrates the Aura and Cheer buffs. Use a support slot when your damage fighter or party can attack during the buff window. |
Where does Frost Heron fit in Update 6?
Frost Heron appears in the fighter selector of the November 2 Artifacts recording. That clip gives no comparable clear times or damage test for Frost Heron, so it stays unranked here.
Compare the fighters you already have
- Story and Infinite: time a repeatable stage. Note how many casts clear a pack, whether attacks reach enemies on the edge, and how much time you spend waiting on cooldowns.
- Raids: compare against the same boss and keep difficulty, teammates, gear, and upgrades as similar as possible. A clean clear you can repeat is more useful than a single burst number.
- Support: try the same boss with and without the support slot. See whether teammates can attack during the buff and whether the party finishes faster.
When to change your main fighter
A fresh pull may need leveling, a new trait, Potential points, or an awakening before it beats your established kit. Keep the current fighter while you test the replacement. Before investing, read the live kit panel and its unlock requirements, especially if a guide uses an earlier build.
