Mythic Tier List: Every New Unit Ranked (Update 10 Part 2)

The New Mythic Meta: How Update 10 Part 2 Shakes Up the Tier List

Another major update has hit Anime Vanguards, and the anime vanguards mythic tier list has shifted dramatically. With Update 10 Part 2, players gained access to six brand‑new units – some hidden secrets, others from the battle pass – and a game‑changing familiar that breathes new life into an old favorite. Whether you’re grinding the rift or optimizing your team for endgame content, understanding where these units sit in the current meta is essential. Below, we break down every new character, their optimal builds, and where they belong on the anime vanguards mythic tier list according to top player experiences and community reports.

Quick‑Look: New Unit Tier Placements

The following table summarizes where each new unit lands in the current meta based on their best‑case performance (optimal trait, familiar, and team composition). These rankings come from extensive community testing and reflect the consensus after the first week of Update 10 Part 2.

Note: Esganor also receives a major upgrade thanks to the new “Doctor” familiar, which we’ll discuss in a later section.

Detailed Breakdown of Each New Mythic

Law – The Zone Controller

Law enters the anime vanguards mythic tier list as a battle‑pass reward (Tier 50) and brings a unique zone‑switching mechanic. He can toggle between three different areas, each scaling off different range stats. His DPS skyrockets when enemies have the “Wanted” debuff, and his zones can also push back or teleport foes. According to early adopters, Law’s damage output rivals top A‑tier units, and his support utility pushes him above characters like Valentine. He’s a flexible pick for any team lacking AoE crowd control.

Optimal Trait: Monarch (as with most end‑game units).
Where He Lands: High‑A tier, potentially low‑S if you master zone switching.

Zoro – The Bleed Specialist

Zoro is a Fire‑element unit with a straightforward but powerful kit built around bleed. He excels at sustained damage, and when a bleeding enemy begins to heal, Zoro automatically unleashes a follow‑up attack for 100% of his damage. His passive also lets him intercept status effects aimed at allies, halving their duration. While his DPS is strong, the healing counter‑mechanic can feel gimmicky on stages without healers. Still, Zoro’s body‑block and status‑deflection make him an excellent secondary tank.

Community Opinion: Many players place Zoro just below Obito, Sasuke, and Sanji (S‑tier staples) but above most other A‑tiers.

Ace – Burn but No Fuse

Ace is essentially the burn‑based counterpart to Zoro. He applies Intense Burn across a massive AoE and deals respectable damage. However, he lacks the unique utility of Zoro’s follow‑up attack or ally protection. In the current anime vanguards mythic tier list, Ace sits comfortably in B‑tier. He’s not bad, but bleed is generally more versatile than burn, especially when rupture effects are already available through other units.

Doflamingo – The Copycat Secret

Doflamingo is one of two secrets introduced this update and has quickly become a meta staple. His gimmick is fascinating: every empty slot on your team spawns a copy of himself with random limits. He also reduces the cost of subsequent Doflamingo placements as you upgrade him (similar to Rimuru but slightly weaker). His three abilities include Conqueror’s Haki (stun), tentacle spawning (independent DPS), and converting up to three enemies into temporary summons.

Players report that Doflamingo’s full‑AoE damage and copying mechanic make him an S‑tier unit, arguably rivaling Mob for top spot. His synergy with empty slots rewards creative team building.

Whitebeard – The Burst Commander

Whitebeard appears to be a complex unit at first glance, but his role becomes clear once paired with the right allies. His final upgrade activates a 1000‑times damage attack, and with Monarch he can hit over one million damage per hit. He deals bonus damage to enemies with the Wanted debuff and also gains damage when he or an ally is debuffed. Plus, he inflicts slow and stun, giving him support value.

The recommended placement is directly behind Griffith (S‑tier) because Whitebeard’s damage spikes when debuffs are applied – and Griffith often provides those. Together, they form a devastating duo. Whitebeard is solidly S‑tier in the anime vanguards mythic tier list.

Shanks – The Free SS‑Tier Monster

Shanks is the second secret and arguably the most overpowered unit in the game right now. He is a free Monarch (obtained by clearing the rift, not via summoning) and his entire kit revolves around stuns and true damage. Whenever Shanks stuns an enemy or attacks a stunned enemy, that hit deals 100% of his damage as a guaranteed crit. With Monarch, his base damage is ~700k, and that crit can push to 1.3 million. And because the 100% damage proc counts as a separate attack, he can easily dish out 3 million damage per cycle.

His active ability – Conqueror’s Haki – stuns all enemies in range every 30 seconds, bypassing stun cooldowns. He also applies rupture on crit, ignores damage reduction against stunned enemies, and sets the damage reduction of any enemy with Wanted to zero. That means your entire team essentially deals true damage.

Most tier lists now place Shanks right next to Dio in the SS tier. The best part? He’s farmable.

Esganor’s Glow‑Up: The Doctor Familiar Changes Everything

Before Update 10 Part 2, Esganor was held back by his final upgrade only hitting once. Shielded enemies rendered him nearly useless. Enter the new “Doctor” familiar – one of its effects turns a unit’s single hit into five hits when striking shielded foes. This single change potentially pushes Esganor above Griffith in the anime vanguards mythic tier list.

Community tests confirm that with the Doctor familiar, Esganor shreds through shield stages. His only remaining weakness is his high cost and placement limit.

How the New Units Compare: Bleed vs. Burn

The introduction of Zoro (bleed) and Ace (burn) highlights an ongoing debate in Anime Vanguards: which status effect is better? Based on current anime vanguards mythic tier list trends, bleed holds the edge.

Zoro’s bleed works better in most team compositions, especially when paired with rupture supports. Ace remains a solid budget AoE option but lacks the utility to break into higher tiers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the current SS‑tier unit in the anime vanguards mythic tier list?
A: Shanks is widely considered SS‑tier alongside Dio. He offers insane stun lockdown, true damage, and is relatively easy to obtain through the rift.

Q: Is Doflamingo better than Mob?
A: According to player reports, Doflamingo can be argued to be on par with or slightly above Mob in terms of raw damage and utility, especially when you take advantage of his copy ability. Most tier lists place him in S‑tier, just behind Mob.

Q: How does the Doctor familiar affect Esganor’s ranking?
A: The Doctor familiar adds multi‑hit capability against shielded enemies, solving Esganor’s biggest weakness. This jumps him from A‑tier to high S‑tier, potentially above Griffith.

Q: Is it worth farming Shanks instead of rolling for other secrets?
A: Absolutely. Shanks is a free Monarch unit with SS‑tier performance. He requires completing the rift, but the investment pays off massively. He’s the best bang for your buck in the current meta.
