Updated on May 4, 2026: Added Head of Hei/Naoya and Atomic/Cid as well as new titles and cosmetics. Think of this article as the Anime Apocalypse HUB for the best Abilities, Gadgets, Traits, Gear and basically everything in the game. I'll help you create the best build by ranking each category so that you can choose the best from each. Here's my Anime Apocalypse tier list and guide.

Some are stronger early and some later in the end-game. I will be ranking Abilities based on their Mastery 100 versions but I will mention if they're weak or strong at Mastery 0 as well. I'll also highlight which Abilities are good for which game mode below. You can expect the S-Tiers to be good at all game modes, with A-Tier being great alternatives and B-Tier being great for beginners while also being decently competitive. Mastery Tips: Killing zombies with an Ability levels up its Mastery and this gives you: Mastery 25: Walking speed boost Mastery 50: Damage boost Mastery 75: Massive damage boost Mastery 100: Unlocks V skill Mastery is saved for each individual weapon when you switch it out. Best Upgrades: Upgrading cooldown is usually the best but 2-3 upgrades in damage are also good (I wouldn't upgrade walking speed). Note that resetting upgrades does not give you back your money. S-Tier Ability S-Tier Ranking Reasons CoyoteMythic • The best Raid and Survival end-game ability in the game• Starts out weaker than Saiyan and Pride but becomes stronger at Mastery 100 with V• I prefer Saiyan, Pride and Shadow Monarch for Infinity though since they're better in longer modes• Coyote with V is still arguably the strongest Ability SaiyanSupreme • One of the best abilities at all Mastery levels and at all modes• I would say it's the 2nd or 3rd best ability in the game with no weaknesses• It's better than Coyote and Pride at Mastery 0 with just the base moves but Coyote/Pride V is better at M100• That said Saiyan has the best utility in the game with the UI revive and the Super Saiyan boost which you can pop and switch abilities PrideMythic • Competes incredibly well with Coyote and Saiyan as the Top 2/3 ability overall• Pride unlike Coyote is not top 1 in any mode but it's great in all modes with no weaknesses• It's also strong at both 0 and 100 Mastery so you can use it whenever Head of HeiHei Quest • Tons of great combo potential to stun lock and freeze groups• This is great both solo to stall and in teams to setup other AOE moves• Also, Head of Hei is one of the best if not the best Raid movesets due to high boss damage on V and overall mobility A-Tier Ability A-Tier Ranking Reasons Shadow MonarchMythic • Incredibly strong in Infinite due to shadows and probably the top 1 Infinite Ability currently• That said it relies a lot on high Mastery so it's much stronger later at 100• Early on it gets out-DPS-ed by other Mythics and Exclusives• So overall if you like playing SM, it's great, but be prepared to grind it since it's not as strong in base form Destructive FistsRaid Shop / Store • More consistent damage than Shadow Monarch and quite good at all game modes• It's better than SM at low Mastery and a bit weaker at high Mastery, especially on Infinite• But it's more reliable for Raid and Survival• That said it's weaker damage and range than Coyote, Pride and Saiyan AtomicRaid Shop • Just great overall AOE DPS for groups with not a lot of utility otherwise• Decent in all modes but doesn't excel at any mode• V does amazing AOE damage, great for fast clears and farming B-Tier Ability B-Tier Ranking Reasons SosukeLegendary • The best beginner Ability since the Susano slash will carry you with its massive damage burst and range• Excellent in Infinite due to simple high value moves that are easy to land• It's also really strong at base Mastery 0 being even better than Coyote, Destructive Fists and Shadow Monarch• That said the Mythics and Exclusives scale much better into the end-game and end up stronger for all modes• Still, you should use Sosuke as much as possible early to grind C-Tier Ability C-Tier Ranking Reasons Fire FighterExclusive – BattlePass • The middleground DPS option that's decent for most modes but not the best• Overall all the Abilities above outdamage it but it is better than King of Curses• It's also a bit better than Shadow Monarch at Mastery 0 since SM takes a while to get going King of CursesLegendary • The weakest Legendary and a mid option overall since the moves are awkward to pull off and dr
