Anime Fighting Simulator: Endless just keeps getting bigger. With the Dimension 2 update dropping, new champions, rebalanced fruits, and fresh specials have completely reshuffled the meta. If you’ve been running the same setup for months, it’s time for a reality check.
We ranked every champion, fruit, and special ability in AFSE based on damage output, passive effects, survivability, and Endless mode viability. This is the definitive tier list — no guesswork, no fluff, just rankings that actually help you push higher waves.
Before you start theory-crafting builds, make sure you grab the latest codes. Free Yen and Chikara Shards make a huge difference when you’re rolling for S+ champions. If you’re into other anime Roblox games, check out our full tier lists hub for more rankings.
How We Rank Champions, Fruits and Specials
Not every tier list is built the same, so here’s exactly what we look at when placing units in AFSE.
Champions are ranked by:
- Passive ability strength — The single biggest factor. S+ champions have passives that can double your effective power or save your run entirely
- Stat multipliers — Raw percentage boosts to Strength, Durability, Chakra, and other training stats
- Endless mode ceiling — How far can this champion carry you in wave pushing?
- Synergy with top fruits/specials — Some champions unlock crazy combos with specific builds
Fruits are ranked by:
- AoE damage potential — Wave clearing is king in Endless mode
- Mobility and survivability — Flight, healing, and invulnerability frames matter
- Skill scaling — How well do moves scale with your trained stats?
- Accessibility — Can you actually get this fruit, or is it locked behind RNG?
Specials are ranked by:
- Raw damage output — Specials generally hit harder than fruits
- Cooldown efficiency — DPS over time, not just per hit
- Utility — Stuns, pulls, shields, and other effects that extend your runs
AFSE Champions Tier List
Champions are the backbone of your build. They provide passive stat boosts and special effects that scale with your training. The gap between an S+ champion and a B-tier champion is massive at higher waves.
S+ Tier Champions
These are the goated picks. If you pull any of these from a banner, lock them in immediately.
| Champion | Key Passive | Best Stat | Why S+ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saytamu Serious | Serious Mode (permanent stat enhance) | Strength | 500% damage boost + 40% damage reduction. The undisputed GOAT |
| Goju | Infinity Barrier (auto-dodge trigger) | Chakra | Near-invincibility passive + massive Chakra scaling. Best JJK champion |
| Itachu | Death Ward (immunity at low HP) | Chakra | Triggers immunity when health drops low. Insane survivability for long runs |
| Bright Yagami | Judgment (scaling damage buff) | Strength | Damage increases the longer you fight. Perfect for Endless pushing |
Saytamu Serious is the undisputed king of AFSE right now. That 500% damage boost combined with 40% damage reduction means you’re hitting like a truck while tanking everything. If you’re serious about pushing waves, this is the champion you save Chikara Shards.
Goju’s Infinity Barrier is equally cracked in a different way. The auto-dodge keeps you alive through attacks that would one-shot you with any other champion. Pair him with a Chakra-heavy build and you’re basically unkillable.
S Tier Champions
Still elite. These champions can carry you through endgame content without breaking a sweat.
| Champion | Key Passive | Best Stat | Why S |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boras | Power Surge (burst damage windows) | Strength | Periodic damage spikes that shred bosses |
| Igicho | Soul Harvest (lifesteal on kill) | Durability | Self-sustaining, great for Endless farming |
| Remgonuk | Demon Form (transform at 50% HP) | Strength | Massive stat boost when health drops. Risk-reward playstyle |
| Sasoke | Sharingan Copy (mirrors enemy abilities) | Chakra | Copies the strongest nearby attack. Unpredictable but powerful |
| Kurama | Nine Tails Chakra (300% Chakra pool) | Chakra | Highest Chakra pool in the game. The go-to for Chakra-dependent builds |
If you missed the S+ champions on their banners, don’t stress. Boras and Igicho can still push you deep into Endless. Kurama is also a sleeper pick if you’re running a Chakra build with Grimoire — that 300% Chakra pool is no joke.
A Tier Champions
Solid performers that work well in most content. Great stepping stones while you save for S+ pulls.
| Champion | Key Passive | Best Stat |
|---|---|---|
| Narto | Shadow Clone (double hit chance) | Strength |
| Zoro Blade | Sword Mastery (sword skill boost) | Sword |
| Dako | Conqueror’s Presence (AoE stun) | Durability |
| All Might | Plus Ultra (damage boost below 30% HP) | Strength |
| Kageyamu | Setter’s Eye (crit rate increase) | Speed |
| Tanjuro | Water Breathing (healing over time) | Sword |
B Tier Champions
Usable but outclassed. You’ll want to replace these as soon as you pull something better.
| Champion | Key Passive | Best Stat |
|---|---|---|
| Bakugo | Explosion Buildup (stacking damage) | Strength |
| Hinata | Gentle Fist (defense penetration) | Chakra |
| Zenitso | Thunder Clap (speed burst) | Speed |
| Rock Lee | Gate Opening (temporary stat boost) | Speed |
| Sakura | Healing Touch (passive regen) | Durability |
C-D Tier Champions
Starter champions and early-game pulls. Swap them out the moment you get anything A-tier or higher. Units like Yamcha, Krillen, and Chopper served their purpose in your first few hours, but they fall off hard once you start pushing waves past 100.
AFSE Fruits Tier List
Fruits give you additional powers on top of your base moveset. The best fruits combine AoE damage with mobility and survivability, which is exactly what you need for Endless mode.
S Tier Fruits
| Fruit | Type | Key Moves | Why S Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mythical Koi | Speed | Homing Fireballs, Invulnerable Dash, Lightning Strikes | Best fruit in the game. 10,000x Speed scaling on Power Dash. Insane AoE + mobility |
| Phoenix | Chakra | Flame Flight, Regeneration, Fire Blast | Flight + self-healing makes you nearly immortal. Top-tier Endless fruit |
| Buddha | Durability | Giant Form, Ground Pound, Aura Shield | Massive hitbox increase + Durability scaling. The tank fruit |
| Light | Speed | Teleportation, Light Barrage, Flight | Fastest fruit in the game. Tournament shop exclusive |
Mythical Koi is absolutely cracked right now. The homing fireballs track enemies through walls, the dash makes you invulnerable during animation, and lightning strikes hit multiple targets. If you’re lucky enough to pull this from the Reward Wheel, you’ve basically won the fruit lottery.
Phoenix is the survivability king. The flight lets you avoid ground attacks while Regeneration keeps your HP topped off. It’s not the highest DPS fruit, but you’ll never die with it equipped, which means longer Endless runs and higher wave clears.
A Tier Fruits
| Fruit | Type | Key Moves | Why A Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rubber | Strength | Gatling, Rocket, Balloon | Most beginner-friendly S-tier fruit. Lowest cooldowns, highest consistency |
| Thunder | Chakra | Lightning Strike, Storm Cloud, Chain Lightning | Best all-around for farming and questing. Great in PvP too |
| Magma | Strength | Eruption, Lava Floor, Meteor | High sustained DPS with area denial. Solid PvE pick |
| Ice | Durability | Freeze, Ice Wall, Blizzard | Strong crowd control and defense. Great for surviving tough waves |
B Tier Fruits
| Fruit | Type | Key Moves |
|---|---|---|
| Flame | Chakra | Fire Pillar, Flame Flight, Blaze |
| Sand | Strength | Sandstorm, Desert Coffin, Quicksand |
| Dark | Chakra | Black Hole, Gravity Pull, Shadow Step |
C-D Tier Fruits
Smoke, Bomb, Spring, and Chop sit at the bottom. They were fine when the game launched but every update since then has power-crept them into irrelevance. Use them only if you have nothing else equipped.
AFSE Specials Tier List
Specials are where the real damage lives. The game has 97 specials across categories like Stands, Quirks, Bloodlines, Sword Styles, Kagunes, Grimoires, Titans, and Nen abilities. Here are the ones that actually matter.
S Tier Specials
| Special | Category | Key Strength |
|---|---|---|
| Grimoire | Grimoire | Highest damage special in the game. Insane scaling and utility |
| Domain Expansion | Cursed Technique | Guaranteed hit zone + massive damage. The best JJK special |
| Bankai | Sword Style | Massive sword damage multiplier. Pairs perfectly with Sword champions |
| Gear 5 | Devil Fruit | Reality warping moveset. Creative and high DPS |
Grimoire is the undisputed king of specials. If you’ve been sleeping on it, stop. The damage scaling makes every other special look like a joke, and the utility it brings to Endless runs is unmatched. Unlock it and never look back.
A Tier Specials
| Special | Category | Key Strength |
|---|---|---|
| Mangekyo | Bloodline | Strong illusion and damage combo. Great for PvP |
| One For All | Quirk | Raw power scaling. Simple but effective |
| Armament Haki | Haki | Defense penetration + damage boost. Universal utility |
| Titan Shift | Titan | Massive form transformation. High AoE damage |
B Tier and Below
Everything else falls into niche territory. Nen abilities, basic Kagunes, and early-game Quirks are fine for progression but won’t carry you past mid-game Endless waves. Prioritize upgrading to S or A tier specials as soon as you can.
Best Builds for Endless Mode
Knowing the tier list is one thing. Putting it all together into a build that actually works is another. Here are the top three builds.
The Meta Build (Wave Pushing)
- Champion: Saytamu Serious
- Fruit: Mythical Koi
- Special: Grimoire
- Stats: Strength > Durability > Chakra
- Why: Maximum damage output with enough survivability to push deep. Saytamu’s 500% damage buff stacks with Mythical Koi’s AoE and Grimoire’s raw damage to absolutely shred waves.
The Immortal Build (Safe Farming)
- Champion: Goju
- Fruit: Phoenix
- Special: Armament Haki
- Stats: Durability > Chakra > Strength
- Why: You literally cannot die. Goju’s auto-dodge plus Phoenix’s healing plus Armament Haki’s defense means you can AFK farm Endless waves without worrying about getting one-shot.
The Budget Build (F2P Friendly)
- Champion: Boras or Igicho (S tier, easier to pull)
- Fruit: Thunder (common drop, A tier)
- Special: One For All
- Stats: Strength > Durability
- Why: All three components are relatively easy to obtain without spending Robux. Thunder fruit is an all-rounder that works in every game mode, and Boras provides solid burst damage windows.
If you’re playing other anime fighting games too, our Anime Fighters Simulator tier list and Anime Adventures tier list cover similar ground for those games.
Training Priority Guide
Your stats matter just as much as your equipment. Here’s the optimal training order for each build archetype.
For Endless Pushing (Strength Build):
- Strength — Train by punching. This is your bread and butter. Higher Strength means higher punch damage and stronger Strength Powers
- Durability — Train by doing pushups or standing near Durability spots. Keeps you alive at higher waves
- Chakra — Train by meditating. Powers up your Chakra-scaling abilities and specials
- Speed — Train by running. Less critical for pushing but helps with mobility
- Sword — Only if you’re running a Sword champion like Zoro Blade or Tanjuro
For Farming (Yen Build):
Focus on Speed first for faster clear times, then Strength for damage. Durability matters less when you’re farming lower waves for Yen.
Rebirth Strategy:
Rebirth when your stat gains start plateauing. Each rebirth resets your stats but gives permanent multipliers that make your next run faster. Don’t rebirth too early — you want at least enough base stats to buy your first champion immediately after reset.
Pro tip: always redeem codes before a big training session. The Yen and Chikara boosts from codes like Dim2Shutdown (50,000 Yen) and Dimension2 (100,000 Yen) stack with training multipliers and can save you hours of grinding. Check out other Roblox codes across all games while you’re at it.
Dimension 2 Meta Changes
The Dimension 2 update brought some significant shifts to the meta that affect these rankings.
What changed:
- New training areas with higher multipliers were added, making stat progression faster for everyone
- Champion banner rotation now includes guaranteed S-tier pity at 50 pulls (down from 80)
- Fruit rebalancing pushed Mythical Koi even further ahead while Flame and Sand got small buffs
- New specials from the Dimension 2 series compete with existing S-tiers but don’t quite dethrone Grimoire
- Most previous codes expired when Dim2 launched — make sure you’re using the new ones
The pity system change is huge for F2P players. You’re now guaranteed at least one S-tier champion every 50 pulls, which means saving Chikara Shards is even more important than before. If you want more anime game rankings, our Anime Vanguards tier list covers another top anime Roblox title.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
We see these mistakes constantly in the AFSE community. Don’t be that player.
Spreading stats too thin. Pick two or three stats to focus on and commit. A character with maxed Strength and Durability will always outperform one with mediocre everything.
Ignoring champion passives. A C-tier champion with a passive that synergizes with your build can outperform an A-tier champion with a useless passive. Read the ability descriptions.
Skipping rebirths. Some players try to brute-force progression without rebirthing. The permanent multipliers from rebirths are too valuable to skip. You’ll hit a wall around wave 200 without them.
Wasting Chikara Shards on random banners. Save for featured S+ banners. The difference between Saytamu Serious and a random A-tier pull is enormous at endgame.
Not using codes. Free Yen and Chikara literally speed up your entire progression. There’s zero reason not to redeem every active code the moment it drops.

FAQ
Who is the best champion in Anime Fighting Simulator Endless?
Saytamu Serious is widely considered the best champion in AFSE with 500% damage boost and 40% damage reduction. His Serious Mode passive permanently enhances stats, making him the top pick for Endless pushing.
What is the best fruit in AFSE right now?
Mythical Koi is the strongest fruit in the meta. It has homing fireballs, invulnerable dash attacks, and lightning strikes that hit multiple enemies, making it perfect for wave clearing and Endless runs.
Are fruits or specials better in Anime Fighting Simulator Endless?
Specials generally deal higher raw damage than fruits, but fruits offer more utility with flight, healing, and AoE. Top-tier fruits like Mythical Koi and Phoenix can outperform most specials in Endless mode thanks to survivability.
How do I get Mythical Koi fruit in AFSE?
Mythical Koi is obtained exclusively from the Reward Wheel. You cannot buy it from the shop or trade for it. Keep spinning the wheel and saving your tickets for the best chance at pulling it.
What stats should I train first in Anime Fighting Simulator Endless?
For Endless pushing, focus on Strength and Durability first. Strength increases your punch damage and Strength Powers, while Durability boosts resistance and lets you survive longer in higher waves. Add Chakra later for power scaling.
Is Grimoire the best special ability in AFSE?
Yes, Grimoire is currently S-tier and considered the strongest special ability in the game. Its damage scaling and utility outclass every other special in both PvP and PvE content.
What is the difference between S+ and S tier champions?
S+ champions like Saytamu Serious and Goju have unique passives that permanently boost stats or trigger immunity effects. S-tier champions like Boras and Sasoke are still excellent but lack those game-changing passive abilities.
How often does the AFSE tier list change?
The tier list shifts with every major update. Balance patches, new champion banners, and fruit additions can reshuffle rankings overnight. We update this list within 48 hours of any patch that affects the meta.
Should I save Chikara Shards for S+ champions?
Absolutely. S+ champions like Itachu, Bright Yagami, Saytamu Serious, and Goju are rare banner pulls. Saving your Chikara Shards for banners featuring these champions gives you the best return on investment.
What is the best build for Endless mode in AFSE?
The meta Endless build stacks Strength and Durability with an S+ champion like Saytamu Serious, Mythical Koi fruit for AoE clearing, and Grimoire as your special. This combo maximizes both damage and survivability.
