Who is the best character in Anime Defenders?
The best Anime Defenders unit is Shadow Dragon. This is not only one of the rarest units, only obtainable through Divine Wish with a 1% drop rate, but it is also an absolute behemoth with an Attack Aspect that’s entirely AoE. It even has the Cone AoE – one of the first characters to do so.
What’s more, Shadow Dragon’s ability in Anime Defenders, Otherworldly Power, adds 25% to its range and 15% cooldown reduction; that’s for all units in its range as well, making it equally great for support. In the current AD meta, Shadow Dragon is the best of both worlds.
How do I get new Anime Defenders units?
To unlock new Anime Defenders units, you need to interact with the Summon Pad in the Summon Building within the game’s hub.
You can purchase new units using the in-game currency called Gems. Each summon is essentially a gacha roll, meaning your pulls are heavily luck dependant. On the other hand, you can use the Units menu to sell any unwanted characters for gold.
