Anime Card Clash Attacker Tier List

Attackers define how quickly you clear story maps, burn through tower floors, and spike damage in raids. This Anime Card Clash attacker tier list ranks every notable damage dealer from S+ to D based on raw output, ability uptime, awakening potential, and performance across PvE and PvP modes as of June 2026. Use it alongside our support tier list and pack tier list to build a cohesive roster rather than chasing isolated hype units.

Complete Attacker Rankings

Tiers reflect community testing, developer balance notes, and endgame clear rates. Cards within the same tier are roughly interchangeable for their role, though personal trait luck may tilt your preference toward one name.

Tier Attackers
S+ Awakened Eclipseborn Hawk, Awakened Lion (Escanor), Awakened Tormented Swordsman, Fox Sin (Ban)
S Awakened Bijuu Beast, Blood Valkyrie, Commandment of Truth, Envious Sin (Diane), Undead King, Wrathful Sin (Meliodas)
A Deranged Elder Assassin, Eminence Cat, Shadow Ant, Shadow Commander, Soul Queen
B Awakened Promised Child, Candy Master, Combat Giant, Commandment of Purity, Eternal Mage, Gluttonous Sin (Merlin), Ice Empress Shinigami, Limitless Master, Slothful Sin (King)
C Berserker Shinigami, Flame Tyrant, Red Pilot, Wizard King
D Black Flame, Shadow Monarch

S+ Tier: Meta-Defining Damage

The S+ row represents units that warp team building around them. Awakened Eclipseborn Hawk delivers sustained aerial burst that shreds boss health bars, while Awakened Lion (Escanor) peaks during daytime cycle mechanics and punishes prolonged fights. Awakened Tormented Swordsman excels in multi-target cleave scenarios, and Fox Sin (Ban) provides lifesteal sustain that keeps him alive without dedicated heal supports.

If you pull any S+ attacker, invest trait rerolls from active codes immediately. These units anchor witch tower teams covered in our witch battle tower guide and remain relevant through late-game dungeon farming.

S and A Tier: Reliable Workhorses

S Tier Overview

Awakened Bijuu Beast, Blood Valkyrie, Commandment of Truth, Envious Sin (Diane), Undead King, and Wrathful Sin (Meliodas) form the S tier backbone. They may lack the absolute ceiling of S+ units but offer more accessible acquisition paths through standard banners and awakenings. Wrathful Sin synergizes with seven deadly sins-themed supports, making him a natural pick for themed decks described in our synergy guide.

A Tier Overview

Deranged Elder Assassin, Eminence Cat, Shadow Ant, Shadow Commander, and Soul Queen remain excellent mid-game carries. Shadow Commander and Shadow Ant often arrive together from the Manhwa Pack—check the pack rankings if you are hunting them specifically. These units carry you until an S-tier pull replaces them.

B Through D Tier: Niche and Fallback Picks

B-tier attackers like Awakened Promised Child, Candy Master, and Limitless Master still clear early story content but fall off in infinite tower pushing and high-level raids. C-tier units including Berserker Shinigami and Flame Tyrant serve as collection pieces or temporary fillers. D-tier Black Flame and Shadow Monarch should not receive premium resources unless you play purely for fun—resources are better spent on S or A tier investments.

  • Do not sink trait rerolls into D-tier units unless they receive a future buff.
  • B-tier cards can hold support slots in budget dungeon teams for coin farming.
  • Awakenings move units roughly one tier upward—check awakening materials in story mode.
  • Element counters matter; a B-tier counter pick can outperform a neutral S-tier unit.

Building Around Your Best Attacker

Once you identify your strongest pull, shape the rest of your deck for ability uptime and crit amplification. Supports like Black Slime and Slayer Mark from the support rankings multiply attacker value more than adding a second mediocre damage dealer. Use the DPS calculator to compare swap scenarios before committing scarce evolution materials.

The Anime Card Clash meta shifts whenever RNG Lab drops a new pack or awakening line. Treat this tier list as a living document—revisit after patches, adjust your investments accordingly, and prioritize units that clear your current bottleneck content fastest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the best attacker in Anime Card Clash?

Awakened Eclipseborn Hawk, Awakened Lion (Escanor), Awakened Tormented Swordsman, and Fox Sin (Ban) share the S+ tier as the highest-damage options in the current meta.

Are awakened units worth investing in?

Yes. Awakened variants dominate the top tiers because their stat multipliers and ability kits outperform base forms by a wide margin in towers, raids, and PvP.

How often does the attacker tier list update?

We revise rankings after major balance patches, new pack releases, and awakening additions. Check back following each RNG Lab update announcement.

Should I prioritize attackers or supports first?

A balanced deck needs both, but a single S+ attacker can carry early progression. Pair top attackers with supports from our support tier list for optimal synergy.

Why is Shadow Monarch ranked low?

Despite name recognition, Shadow Monarch lacks the burst scaling and trait compatibility of higher-tier units in current endgame content, placing it in D tier for now.
