For competitive PvP, prioritize Stands with time-stop or combo potential. CDOH's time freeze and Killer King's explosives dominate 1v1s.
Best for PvE/Farming
For grinding and boss farming, focus on AoE damage and consistency. Grimoires excel here with their transformation buffs.
Best for Beginners
New players should aim for high drop rate Specials first. These are easy to obtain and still effective.
AFSE Specials Tier List: PvP & PvE Rankings
Choosing the right Special is crucial for success in Anime Fighting Simulator Endless. Whether you're focused on dominating PvP arenas or efficiently grinding PvE content, knowing which Specials perform best can save you countless Chikara on gacha rolls. This tier list ranks all Specials based on their effectiveness in both PvP combat and PvE farming, considering damage output, cooldowns, combo potential, and meta relevance.
PvP Tier Rankings Explained
In PvP, Stands reign supreme. Celestial Diamond Over Heaven (CDOH) dominates with its time-freeze ability that sets up free combos. Killer King's explosive damage and tracking bombs make it devastating in 1v1s. Purple Smog's damage-over-time shreds tanky opponents. The legacy stand 'The Arm' remains the best overall but is unobtainable from gacha - you'll need to trade for it. Grimoires and Devil Fruits are generally less effective in PvP due to Stands' superior utility and burst potential.
PvE Tier Rankings Explained
For PvE grinding and boss farming, the meta shifts slightly. Grimoires become S-tier due to their AoE capabilities and transformation buffs. Wind Grimoire's Spirit Assimilation doubles damage and reduces cooldowns, making it exceptional for mob clearing. Hierophant Lime's Emerald Splash efficiently farms large groups. Light Grimoire's beam attack melts bosses. Stands like Purple Smog's DoT also excel against high-HP bosses. Devil Fruits with AoE like Quake and Explosive remain viable for farming.
Current Meta Analysis
The current AFSE meta heavily favors Stands and Grimoires over Devil Fruits, Quirks, and Kagunes. If you're a new player, prioritize obtaining Wind Grimoire (15.38%) or Hierophant Lime (15%) as they're easy to get and highly effective. For competitive players, save Chikara for CDOH (0.5%) or Killer King (2%) gacha rolls. The Arm is the ultimate goal but requires trading. Focus on mastering one S-tier Special rather than collecting multiple lower-tier options.
