Best Mythic in Anime Adventures
The Update 21 Mythical meta - which rare units actually carry Infinite, Story and Infinity Castle runs, and why.
Short answer: Elyssia (Abyssal) tops every current ranking, with Fused Hero (the Carrot/Vego fusion) as the highest physical DPS ceiling and Griffin (Darkness) the highest ceiling overall if you can feed its sacrifice meter. Snow Reaper (Final), Chuuni (Delusion), Zombie (Risen) and Illusionist (Transcended) round out the top tier.
Top Mythicals, ranked
| Unit | Role | Why it leads |
|---|---|---|
| Elyssia (Abyssal) | Magic DPS | Every major list puts it #1 after UPD 21 - huge damage with no setup tax |
| Fused Hero | Hybrid DPS (Light/Storm) | Peak physical DPS; fuses from Carrot (Ultra) or Vego (Mage II) at upgrade 7 - expensive but fits every map |
| Griffin (Darkness) | Magic DPS (Dark) | Sacrifice mechanic lets damage scale past normal caps - needs expensive fodder and two buffers to shine |
| Snow Reaper (Final) | DPS | UPD 20 secret evolve - unanimous top-tier on every list that ranks it |
| Chuuni (Delusion) | DPS | Unanimous S-tier on three independent rankings |
| Zombie (Risen) | DPS | Featured Special Mythic - top tier on three lists |
| Illusionist (Transcended) | DPS/utility | S-tier pick for leaderboards |
| Kansai (Daydream) | DPS | Daydream passive stacks +10% damage per second up to 200% - bursts bosses but resets on attack |
| Iceclaw (Azure Fang) | DPS | 50% crit chance + cone AoE - solid, outclassed by the top four |
| Somber (Buzzsaw) | Bleed DPS | Six-tick bleed scales into late game - reliable, not peak |
Support note: Griffin (Reincarnation), Leafy (Sylph) and Wenda give the biggest team damage boosts - pair carries with at least two buffers before judging them.
Which to build first
Budget pick
Somber or Iceclaw - strong out of the box, no support web required.
Investment pick
Fused Hero - pricey upgrades but the smoothest ceiling climb for long runs.
Whale pick
Griffin (Darkness) - only worth it if you can keep its sacrifice meter fed with expensive units.
FAQ
Is Mythical better than Secret?
Not automatically - Secrets like Pirate King (Final) and Sorcerer Killer beat most Mythicals. This list ranks within the Mythical rarity you can actually pull.
