With Anime Apocalypse officially live on Roblox, one of the first questions every player runs into is which ability is actually worth grinding for. The spin system is gacha-based, spins are not free, and picking the wrong ability to invest in can set your progression back significantly. This tier list ranks every current ability in Anime Apocalypse from best to worst, based on damage output, dungeon clearing speed, movement synergy, and overall usefulness across both the regular dungeon mode and the Infinite game mode.
Before getting into the rankings, it is worth understanding how abilities work in this game. Each weapon comes with multiple skills bound to different keys, a passive V skill, and a powerful ultimate on G. Rarities range from Rare at the bottom all the way up to Supreme at a 0.1% drop rate. Higher rarity generally means stronger base damage and more impressive ultimates, but as you will see below, rarity alone does not always determine which ability performs best in practice.
| Tier | Ability | Rarity | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Saiyan | Supreme | Infinite farming, Nightmare dungeons, all-around use |
| S | Coyote | Mythic | Fast room clearing, movement synergy, daily grinding |
| A | Shadow Monarch | Mythic | Boss fights, summon playstyle, new player progression |
| A | Sung Jinwoo Daggers | Mythic | Balanced damage, smooth hitbox, dungeon runs |
| B | Stark | Mythic | Secondary weapon, boss ultimates, casual play |
| B | King of Curses | Legendary | Early game, transitional weapon |
| C | Fire Fighter | Mythic (Battle Pass) | Title and stat bonuses only |
| C | Zoro | Rare (Starter) | Tutorial purposes only |
S Tier: The Best Abilities in the Game
Saiyan is the clear top pick and the rarest ability in Anime Apocalypse, sitting at Supreme rarity. Inspired by Dragon Ball’s Goku, this weapon does everything well. Its V skill transformation buffs your movement speed to an almost ridiculous degree, making you one of the fastest things on the map when it activates. Its ultimate includes a Spirit Bomb that deals massive AoE damage, and the Super Saiyan mode it can enter broadly enhances all of your other moves simultaneously. Players who manage to pull this one from the spin system should treat it as their primary weapon for both Infinite mode farming and Nightmare dungeon runs. The hitbox coverage, the speed buff, and the ultimate damage combined make this the most well-rounded ability in the entire current roster.
Coyote sits right alongside Saiyan in terms of feel and effectiveness. While it is a mythic rather than Supreme, many experienced players actually prefer it as their main weapon for how smooth and snappy it is in practice. The M1 attacks feel responsive, the skill animations flow naturally into each other, and the V skill spawns wolves that deal additional damage to enemies. The only current issue with Coyote is that those wolves appear as red dots on the mini-map, which is identical to enemy markers, causing occasional confusion during fast-paced runs. That is a minor inconvenience rather than a gameplay flaw. If you enjoy a fast, fluid playstyle that complements the game’s movement system, Coyote is arguably the most satisfying ability to actually play with.
A Tier: Strong Performers Worth Having
Shadow Monarch, based on Sung Jinwoo from Solo Leveling, is a mythic ability and a genuinely strong choice for players who like a mix of melee aggression and summon mechanics. The Arise move calls shadow allies to your side, and the assassin-style dash skill is one of the most visually satisfying moves in the game. Shadow Monarch’s only real limitation is that one of its moves forces you to move in a fixed direction, which takes away some of the freedom that makes this game’s movement so enjoyable. Outside of that, the damage is solid and the ultimate is impressive enough to handle dungeon bosses without issue. This is an excellent ability for new players to progress with while saving up spins for Saiyan or Coyote.
Sung Jinwoo’s daggers, which is a separate ability from Shadow Monarch, also belong in the A tier. The daggers are crisp to use, the hitbox tracks well with directional input, and the overall skill kit is well put together for both clearing rooms and dealing boss damage.
B Tier: Serviceable But Not Optimal
Stark, the guns-based ability inspired by Marvel’s Iron Man, is a competent weapon that gives you plenty of freedom during its ultimate due to the ability to move while firing. The skills lean heavily on beam-type attacks, which do the job of clearing rooms but start to feel repetitive once you have seen them a few times. The ultimate looks cool and functions well, but Stark lacks the raw speed and damage ceiling of the S tier picks. It is a perfectly fine secondary weapon and benefits from weapon skins that visually alter how the beams look, but it is not something to prioritize in your spin strategy.
King of Curses, the Sukuna-inspired ability, sits in a similar position. The Black Flash skill is satisfying to land and the Fuga move is visually distinct, but the kit as a whole offers only two meaningful skills, which feels limited compared to other mythic options. For players who pull this early, it is worth using while building a better roster, but you will likely bench it once something stronger comes along.
C Tier: Bottom of the Current Roster
Fire Fighter, the battle pass mythic, is unfortunately one of the weakest clearing abilities in the game right now. It looks visually appealing, and the ultimate is genuinely impressive, but the overall skill set is too slow for a game built entirely around speed and momentum. Dungeon runs with Fire Fighter take noticeably longer than with any other mythic or Supreme option, and in a game where efficiency directly translates to more resources per hour, that slowness is a meaningful disadvantage. It is free for battle pass owners, so equip it for the title and stat bonuses, but do not rely on it as your primary damage source.
Zoro, the starter weapon, sits at the bottom through no real fault of its design. It is the introduction weapon and functions well enough for new players to understand the game’s mechanics. The moment you get your first decent spin, however, there is no reason to return to it.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
Ability mastery levels matter. The higher you level up a specific ability through repeated use, the more damage it deals. This means that even a lower rarity ability you have been using consistently can outperform a freshly spun higher rarity one until that new weapon’s mastery catches up.
Two ability slots are available, and the best combination right now is Saiyan paired with Coyote. Saiyan handles your heavy burst damage and boss encounters, while Coyote covers fast room clearing and everyday dungeon runs. If you have neither, Shadow Monarch plus Sung Jinwoo Daggers is a solid free-to-play alternative that keeps you competitive in both game modes.
The tier list will shift as the developers add new abilities, balance existing ones, and expand the roster beyond the current lineup. Check back as the game receives updates, because even small adjustments to cooldowns or hitboxes can move an ability up or down in the rankings significantly.
