S Tier - Essential

Best units for pushing high waves in Infinite Mode

Sun Jin Wu

Main DPS / Hybrid

Summons deal extreme sustained damage. Mana regenerates on kills for continuous summons. Hybrid attack.

Trait: Ruler (0.1%) or Sacred (0.3%)

#1 unit overall. In multi-player, may struggle to get kills for mana regen. Better in solo.

Berserker (Kenpachi)

Main DPS / Debuffer

Full AoE, Slow, Vulnerability (+15% damage taken). Hyper Armor Damage crucial for late-wave bosses.

Trait: Ruler (0.1%) or Sacred (0.3%)

Essential for armor breaking. Vulnerability debuff stacks with team damage.

Ragna

Burst DPS

Recently buffed. Highest burst DPS after Sun Jin Wu. Self-delete mechanic after burst phase.

Trait: Ruler (0.1%)

Top tier after buff. High skill ceiling - time your burst correctly before self-delete.

A Tier - Strong

Strong scaling units for extended Infinite runs

Scarlet Maid

DPS / Debuffer

+40% damage taken debuff on enemies. Downside: enemies move faster. Hybrid attack.

Trait: Ruler (0.1%) - Required

40% vulnerability is massive for team DPS. Speed increase manageable with control units.

Ace (Spade)

AoE DPS / Burn

Full Screen AoE, Burn DoT, bypasses Armor and Hyper Armor. 3 Placement limit.

Trait: Ruler (0.1%) or Wizard (DoT)

Consistent damage dealer. Burn damage scales well into late waves.

Kyito

Crit DPS

Crit-based damage. Duelist trait (0.8%) gives +25% crit rate, +range, +boss damage.

Trait: Duelist (0.8%)

Lower priority than Virtual Realm, but still strong. Good for wave 80+ pushes.

Sasuke

DPS / Control

Stun control, Black Burn (Amaterasu) high damage, can dodge boss attacks. Small nuke skill.

Trait: Damage-related

Top 6 overall. Control utility very valuable in late Infinite waves.

B Tier - Viable

Viable options with specific strengths

Cyborg Fearless (Genos)

Infinite Scaling

Stuns self to permanently increase damage. Burn effect. High risk high reward scaling.

Trait: Damage or DoT

Best unit for VERY long Infinite runs. Needs protection during stun phases.

Law

Support / Boss Control

Room ability teleports enemies back to range edge. Excellent boss killer utility.

Trait: Range or Cooldown

Crucial for boss waves. Teleport resets boss position for more DPS time.

Mob

Hybrid DPS

High damage Hybrid unit with some support capabilities. Expensive but worth it.

Trait: Damage-related

Top 10 overall. Does the job but outclassed by S-tier units.

Akainu

Hybrid / Debuffer

Trait: Damage or DoT

Severely underrated. Best Legendary unit. Easy to get dupes for Etherealization.

Lower priority for Infinite Mode

Shanks

Hybrid DPS

Aura buff just by existing on field. Hybrid attack.

Trait: Damage-related

Underrated support through passive aura. Use if missing better options.

Lelouch

Support / Control

Order system: Retreat, Attack, Stand Still (8s wall), Beam. Complex mechanics.

Trait: Cooldown

Unique but buggy. Stand Still creates 8-second enemy wall - useful for stalling.

Trait: Damage-related

Only useful for boss waves. Limited versatility in Infinite.

Support Units

Essential support units for Infinite Mode success

Virtual Idol (Miku)

#1 Buffer

Infinite Mode Tips

• Survive 80 waves in one run for Lelouch questline
• Boss waves appear every 10 waves - save burst for these
• Solo may be easier than multiplayer (Jin Wu needs kills for mana)
• In multiplayer, boss HP scales but mob difficulty increases significantly
• Genos (Cyborg Fearless) is best for ultra-long runs due to infinite scaling
• Put all stat points into Cooldown for DPS units
• Put all stat points into Range for support units
