Secret Unit Tier List

Rankings for all secret and special units. Includes obtain methods, difficulty, and build recommendations.

Data Source:Canonical Trello-backed identities where available, plus legacy guide logic and review-needed ranking notes.

S+

S+ Tier

Top legacy-model candidates; exact current ranking still needs run evidence.

Sun Jin Woo (SJW)

Top Carry / SummonerVery Hard

Mana system, Shadow Legion and Shadow Domain notes are guide-model mechanics; Hybrid attacker identity is Trello-backed.

Trait: Ruler (0.1%)Obtain: Solo Leveling Event + Summon

Top carry candidate with strong legacy mechanics, but exact soldier scaling still needs current run evidence.

S Tier

Exceptional units that often anchor endgame planning

Kyito

Main DPS / Crit SpecialistMedium

Crit/DOT scaling, works with Duelist or Astral. Canonical Magician path currently confirms DOT/status/elemental scaling.

Trait: Astral (DOT) or Duelist (Crit)Obtain: Summon + Etherealize

Strong VR candidate. Astral + Magician is a sustained-DOT strategy, while exact ranking still needs current run evidence.

Berserker (Kenpachi)

DPS / DebufferMedium

Wide-area damage, Vulnerability (+15% damage taken), Hyper Armor break. 1 Placement limit.

Trait: Ruler (0.1%) or Sacred (0.3%)Obtain: Summon + Etherealize

High-value debuffer candidate. Armor break is especially useful for boss checks.

A Tier

Strong picks that excel in specific content

Ace (Spade)

AoE DPS / DOTMedium-Hard

Full screen AoE, Burn DOT, bypasses Armor. Astral E6 = 100% damage as DOT.

Trait: Astral (DOT) or RulerObtain: Summon + Etherealize to E6

Astral E6 Ace remains a strong legacy DOT model; exact Ragna/VR tier needs current runs.

Lelouch

Support / ControlVery Hard (5,000 placements)

Stand Still creates 8-second enemy wall. Absolute Control effect.

Trait: Cooldown-focusedObtain: Power of Kings Quest (via CC)

Unique stall utility. Quest is long and repetitive; see Lelouch Quest Guide for rules-aware planning notes.

Stun control, Black Burn (Amaterasu), can dodge attacks.

Enemy speed increase is dangerous. Use with caution.

Critical Support Units

These units are common endgame planning anchors

Speedwagon (Fast Cart)

Economy - CRITICAL

Economy unit. Fortune placement doubling remains review-needed legacy strategy.

Trait: Fortunate

Core economy candidate for VR strategies; exact placement behavior needs current evidence.

Virtual Idol (Miku)

Secret Unit Tips

• SJW is a priority target — Consider him first if your team needs a summoner carry.
• Etherealize your mains — E4/E6 is where units really shine.
• Fortune placement notes need review — canonical VR data currently confirms income scaling, not placement doubling.
• Trait rolling is expensive — Use Trait Calculator to plan your gems.
• Astral supports DOT stacking — use it for Ace/Kyito planning, then validate with current run evidence.
