Anime Zero Tier List (October 2026)
Every Arsenal weapon, trait and accessory ranked for Update 3 — with the reasoning, not just letters.
This page combines the Arsenal weapon tier list, the traits tier list and the accessories tier list in one place. Rankings cross-check three published tables (games.gg, vacancybee, Pocket Tactics) — where they disagree, the tier note says so. You equip two weapons at once, so pair synergy counts toward placement too.
Arsenal Weapon Tier List
Weapons are your moveset and identity in Anime Zero — pulled from the Arsenal with spins, each with a four-move kit. Two rarities sit above the rest: Lyth (pity 3,500) and Arcane (pity 350). Everything below Mythic is a stepping stone. Base odds: Epic 90%, Legendary 8.89%, Mythic 1.05%, Arcane 0.11%.
Meta — the chase targets
Strong — viable for most players
Situational — fits specific builds
Divine Emperor Arcane · Shanks
Good damage but slow abilities leave you exposed in Raids.
Lights of Divinity Mythic · Saber / Artoria Pendragon
Great burst but only shines when paired with Cataclysm (+8% speed, -5% cooldowns) — the only synergy that gives speed and cooldown reduction at once, which makes it a strong PvE farming combo even though it sits in B tier alone.
Mid — fine early, replace later
Weak — replace as soon as possible
Traits Tier List
Traits are the stat layer on top of your weapon, rerolled with Trait Rerolls (codes hand out hundreds). The S-tier split is use-case driven: Deadeye owns long fights, Supernova owns fast clears, Fortune owns farming.

Weapon Synergy Pairs
Any two weapons grant +5% damage. Named pairs do better, and one pairing — Cataclysm + Lights of Divinity — is the only source of speed and cooldown reduction together, which is why a B-tier weapon sits in the meta farming build.
| Pair | Bonus |
|---|---|
| Cursed King + Immortal Sovereign | +10% damage |
| Rubber Man + Divine Emperor | +15% max HP |
| Cosmic Warrior + Thunder Prodigy | -10% cooldowns |
| Kings Gambit + Twisted Agony | +20% ultimate charge rate |
| Dragon Eclipse + Lights of Divinity | +5% damage, +8% max HP |
| Cataclysm + Lights of Divinity | +8% speed, -5% cooldowns |
| Any other pair | +5% damage |
The Best Build Right Now
| Slot | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Primary weapon | Flame Director (or Cataclysm) | One-shot ultimates with Deadeye; i-frames everywhere |
| Second slot | Cataclysm (or Cursed King) | Frost AoE coverage and sustained damage between ultimates |
| Trait (boss/long modes) | Deadeye | +20% damage, +5% crit, +50% crit damage compounds in long fights |
| Trait (fast farming) | Supernova | +24% damage, CDR and attack speed for stage clearing |
| Farming trait | Fortune | Coins, XP and drop rate while grinding materials |
| Accessory (general) | Blast Archer Wings | 16% damage + 10% drop rate all-rounder |
| Accessory (max DPS) | Blast Archer Crown | 20% damage, CDR and health for raid bosses |
| Titles | Dragon Eclipse / Flame Director | +20% damage +10% drop rate / +15% damage +5% drop rate |
No Flame Director yet? Run Cataclysm primary with Cursed King second — the strongest non-Lyth pairing until the raid pity pays out (35 runs at 2%). Budget the spins with our pity calculator.
Tier List FAQ
What is the best weapon in Anime Zero?
Cataclysm (Lyth) is the consensus #1 — fast katana strikes, massive frost bursts, i-frames on all moves, and it was buffed in the October patches. Flame Director (Lyth, raid-only) matches it in raid content where its Deadeye-boosted ultimate one-shots bosses. Cursed King (Arcane) is the best weapon you can realistically spin for, with Arcane pity at 350.
What is the best trait in Anime Zero?
Deadeye for boss content: +20% damage, +5% crit chance and +50% crit damage compound in long fights. Supernova for farming and fast clears: +24% damage, cooldown reduction and attack speed. Fortune looks weak on paper but is genuinely the best trait while grinding materials.
What are the best accessories in Anime Zero?
Blast Archer Wings (16% damage, 10% drop rate) for general play and farming; Blast Archer Crown (20% damage, 7% drop rate, CDR, health) for pure damage. Both are crafted from dungeon drops. Flame Pirate Hat (10% drop rate) is the best budget farming pick. Skip the Gentleman's Top Hat entirely.
Is Dragon Eclipse good in Anime Zero?
A tier. Heavy melee damage that melts early Infinite bosses once awakened, but slow for Raids. It also unlocks one of the best titles in the game — the Dragon Eclipse title gives +20% damage, +5% HP and +10% drop rate, and killing 25 bosses on Hard+ as Dragon Eclipse earns it.
Which weapons should I reroll away?
Cosmic Warrior and Thunder Prodigy (both Epic, D tier) get outscaled immediately — codes hand out enough spins to replace them in your first days. Among Legendaries, keep Kings Gambit + Twisted Agony paired for the ultimate charge synergy while leveling, then replace both.
