Progression carry
One unit is doing most of the work on your current world or quest route.
Keep upgrades concentrated until the carry no longer changes clear speed or route stability.
Roster Reference
Use this units guide to separate carries, farming units, boss specialists, support roles, and secret chases before you spend upgrades on the wrong part of your roster.
Media Reference
Roster decisions make more sense when they stay attached to actual combat and lobby flow. The references below help with recognition, while the guide avoids claiming hidden unit stats.

Public YouTube gameplay is useful for seeing pacing, UI, and player decision flow. It is not treated as official balance data.
Open video on YouTubeA unit list only helps when it changes a real decision. Start with the route you repeat, identify the wall that slows it down, and then rank units by the job they perform. This page is an index for roster roles and upgrade order; the fighter tier list handles relative value, while the best-team guide handles lineup fit.
One unit is doing most of the work on your current world or quest route.
Keep upgrades concentrated until the carry no longer changes clear speed or route stability.
The account can already clear, but repeat sessions are slow or inconsistent.
Prioritize units that improve a loop you actually repeat instead of chasing a rare unit with no route payoff.
The main carry is stable and the next gain comes from team fit, utility, or a late chase.
Compare the unit against your weakest team slot and stop if the chase only improves collection value.
Anime Astral Simulator units should be grouped by the problem they solve, not only by rarity. A high-rarity unit can still be a poor next upgrade when the account needs farming stability, boss pressure, or a support effect instead.
Use role labels as a practical filter. The same unit may move up or down depending on whether you are pushing a new world, repeating a farm route, or building a team for a harder encounter.
Claim current codes and review ticket totals before upgrading. Free rewards can change which unit deserves the next investment and can prevent an early account from spreading resources across too many temporary picks.
Upgrade the smallest number of units needed to solve the current route. Once that route is stable, compare the next upgrade against a team slot, pet support, trait reroll, or world unlock instead of assuming another unit level is always best.
Do not replace a working unit only because a newer pull looks rarer. Test the old and new versions on the same route, with the same team context, and compare clear time, failure rate, and how much extra support each one needs.
A useful replacement should solve a visible weakness. If both units clear the same content at nearly the same pace, saving resources is often stronger than forcing a change.
This units page is the broad roster map. Use the fighter tier list when you need relative role value, best team when you need lineup structure, and secret fighter when a rare chase is the real question.
Keeping those jobs separate prevents one oversized page from giving a shallow answer to every roster query. It also gives each decision a cleaner place to be reviewed when the game changes.
The best unit is the one that improves your current repeatable route. Early accounts usually need one reliable carry; stable accounts can value farming, boss, support, and secret roles more heavily.
No. This page explains unit roles and upgrade order. The fighter tier list compares value by route problem, while the best-team guide covers lineup fit.
Usually not. Test whether the unit changes clear speed, route stability, or a weak team slot before spending limited upgrades.
After the normal route is stable and the secret target has a clear progression, farming, boss, or team reason beyond rarity alone.
