Best Anime Expeditions Raid Units Ranked

Community reports and player experience currently point to two headline raid rewards: 8th Sword (Berserk), commonly called Kenpachi/Ken Pachi by players, and Reaper (Released), commonly called Ichigo/Ishigo. Both are strong, but they serve different roles.

Rank	Raid Unit	Best Role	Why It Matters	Priority
1	8th Sword (Berserk)	Main DPS / AoE carry	Full AoE, passive damage, slow utility, Berserk scaling	Very High
2	Reaper (Released)	Crit DPS / flexible carry	Crit-based scaling, Mirage clones, repositioning	Medium-High
3	Puppet (Telekinetic)	Raid support DPS	Marking and doll summons help bosses melt faster	High
4	Ramen Guy	Economy support	Speeds upgrades and farming runs	High
5	The Hero	Physical buffer	Helps Physical raid carries hit harder	Medium

Based on current player experience, 8th Sword (Berserk) is the standout among Anime Expeditions raid units because he works as a one-placement carry and becomes stronger with the right trait and exclusive equipment.

Raid Unit Breakdown: Kenpachi vs Ichigo

8th Sword (Berserk)

8th Sword is considered one of the strongest Anime Expeditions raid units because of his passive damage and full AoE upgrade path. He is especially valuable because he is Neutral, meaning he is less restricted by elemental matchups than many other units.

Feature	8th Sword (Berserk) Details
Placement Limit	1
Damage Type	Physical / Neutral
Key Strength	Full AoE with passive damage zone
Best Trait	Unbound
Best Support	The Hero for Physical damage buff
Best Use	Raids, boss waves, Infinite, general endgame

His passives are the real reason players rate him so highly. Enemies inside part of his range take passive damage over time, and his follow-up attacks can reduce movement speed. After enough takedowns, he enters a Berserk state that boosts damage and attack speed.

His exclusive equipment is also a major upgrade. According to player testing, it improves his passive zone from a smaller damage effect into a much stronger version, increasing the range portion affected and raising the passive damage value.

Reaper (Released)

Reaper is easier to justify if you like crit-based units. He can create Mirage clones, reposition within his range, and gain permanent buffs after attacking different enemy types.

Feature	Reaper (Released) Details
Placement Limit	3
Main Mechanic	Critical hits and Mirage clones
Best Trait	Crit-focused trait
Best Equipment	Crit chance item
Strength	Flexible DPS and anti-stun utility
Weakness	Lower priority than 8th Sword for pure carry value

Among Anime Expeditions raid units, Reaper is good but not always the first unit you should max. Player experience suggests his total DPS becomes much better when you count clones, but he depends heavily on crit chance and trait investment.

Best Traits and Equipment for Anime Expeditions Raid Units

Traits can completely change how Anime Expeditions raid units perform. A strong unit with the wrong trait may feel average, while the correct trait can turn it into a raid carry.

Unit	Recommended Trait	Why
8th Sword (Berserk)	Unbound	Best for one-placement Secret units and maximum carry value
Reaper (Released)	Crit trait	Improves crit uptime and triggers SBA reduction more often
Puppet (Telekinetic)	Unbound or DPS trait	Improves summon/mark pressure
The Hero	Support-focused stats	Buff uptime and range matter more than raw DPS
Ramen Guy	Economy utility	Helps reach upgrades earlier

Equipment is just as important. Community reports show that exclusive equipment can add major passive changes, not just small stat bumps.

Equipment Focus	Best For	What to Look For
Damage %	8th Sword, Puppet	Higher damage rolls for scaling passives
Crit Chance	Reaper	More consistent crit tempo
SBA	Most DPS units	Faster attacks and more passive triggers
Range	AoE carries/supports	Better coverage and placement flexibility
Exclusive Item	Raid units	Unlocks or upgrades special passives

Tip: Do not waste premium rerolls chasing perfect stats too early. Get the correct trait first, then improve damage, SPA/SBA, and range through stat transfer when you have enough gold.

How to Farm Raid Units Efficiently

Raids in Anime Expeditions work differently from basic story stages. Player experience describes them as multi-stage maps where you clear one section, then move to the next part of the same raid. This matters because your setup needs to survive fast enemies, bosses, and longer paths.

Step	What to Do	Why It Helps
1	Bring at least one economy unit	Lets you upgrade carries before late waves
2	Use a strong early placement unit	Fast enemies can leak early
3	Add boss control or summons	Prevents high-HP enemies from slipping through
4	Farm exclusive equipment	Some raid units gain huge passive upgrades
5	Use raid currency wisely	Buy damage boosts or evolution materials first

Despite community claims that some units can solo raids, testing varies. Player experience suggests that even powerful units like Puppet may fail true solo runs without perfect stats, totems, equipment, or support. Treat “solo raid” claims carefully unless the player shows traits, equipment, stats, and placement.

Recommended Raid Team Setup

For most players, the safest strategy is not to rely on one unit. Build around one carry, one economy unit, one buffer, and one crowd-control or boss-control option.

Slot	Recommended Type	Example
Main Carry	Full AoE or summon DPS	8th Sword, Shadow, Puppet
Secondary DPS	Crit or boss DPS	Reaper, Cursed Student
Economy	Yen support	Ramen Guy or Stone Alchemist
Buffer	Damage support	The Hero for Physical teams
Control	Freeze/slow/stun	Ice Queen or similar
Flex	Element counter	Match the raid weakness

This setup makes Anime Expeditions raid units easier to farm because you are not depending on perfect RNG. If your run fails late, upgrade your economy timing, improve placement near long path curves, and check elemental matchups.

Final Verdict

The best Anime Expeditions raid units are worth farming, but they are not equal. 8th Sword (Berserk) should be your top target because of his full AoE, passive damage, Neutral typing, and powerful exclusive equipment. Reaper (Released) is still a solid pickup, especially if you can build around crit chance and Mirage clones.

If you are limited on rerolls, prioritize Unbound for one-placement raid carries before chasing perfect substats. For newer players, use reliable economy and support units until your raid roster is strong enough to farm consistently.
