Roll an Anime Rarity Tiers

Rarity is the first filter every Roll an Anime player learns. The experience by Anime Yahoo! uses a five-band ladder that community documentation consistently lists as Common, Rare, Super Rare, Epic, and Godly. Exact drop percentages and cash-per-second tables are not published as a single official spreadsheet, so this page focuses on roles: what each band is for, when to keep it, and when to swap it. Pair the ladder with Mutations before you crown any unit S-tier on the Tier List Hub.

Common

Common units are plot fillers. They are better than an empty pedestal because every placed character contributes cash, including while you are offline. Early on, fill every open slot with Commons rather than waiting for a perfect Rare. As soon as Rares arrive, replace Commons one pedestal at a time—usually starting with the pedestal that has the weakest block multiplier. Commons still matter after mid-game when you temporarily expand layout after a Rebirth and need something earning while you roll again.

Rare

Rare is the first meaningful upgrade band for most new plots. Many starter codes and early rolls land here, and a clean Rare often becomes your first offline-income spike. Use Rares to retire Commons, then hold them until Super Rare or Epic units can take those pedestals. Do not delete a Rare that carries a strong mutation just because a clean Rare of a flashier name appears; check Mutations first.

Super Rare

Super Rare sits between Rare and Epic and functions as the mid-game backbone in community write-ups. When your blocks improve through the Blocks loop, Super Rare units start to feel like real engines instead of temporary placeholders. Prioritize Super Rares on your highest available multipliers once Commons are gone. If you are luck-boosting for a session, Super Rare is often the band where you first notice the boost changing outcomes—see Increase Luck and the Boost Planner.

Epic

Epic units are long-term workhorses before Godly. Community setup guides usually park Epics on the best pedestals you can afford until a Godly or a heavily mutated showcase unit arrives. Epics also appear often in “almost endgame” screenshots because they are attainable enough to stack while still contributing serious cash. When comparing two Epics, prefer the one that matches your current block strengths and any active cash codes from Codes.

Godly

Godly sits at the top of the rarity ladder. Godly characters are the rebirth payoff fantasy: the units you chase after upgrading blocks, timing luck codes, and clearing weaker pedestals. Even then, Godly is not an automatic win if the pedestal is weak or the unit has no mutation while a mutated Epic occupies a better block. Treat Godly as the ceiling of the rarity axis, not the only axis that matters.

How rarity interacts with the rest of the game

Rarity alone does not answer “who is best.” Plot cash depends on unit identity, rarity band, mutations, block multipliers, and whether you are in a cash-boost window. That is why community meta lists on Best Units mix names across bands and warn that rankings are not official. A practical upgrade order for many players looks like:

1. Fill every pedestal (Commons acceptable).
2. Replace Commons with Rares and Super Rares.
3. Improve blocks so mid and high rarities scale.
4. Time luck boosts for rolling sessions and cash boosts for farming sessions.
5. Chase Godly and high-value mutations without leaving pedestals empty.

New players should read Getting Started before obsessing over Godly names. Veterans should sync rarity decisions with Best Setup and Cash Offline so overnight income does not collapse after a flashy but empty rebuild. For scripts or automation discussions, keep risk awareness via Scripts and Auto Farm; rarity math does not require them.

Community notes and honesty limits

Guides sometimes invent drop-rate tables or precise cash-per-hour numbers. This wiki refuses to invent those figures when they are not consistently verified. What is stable across sources is the five-band order and the role each band plays. When a patch changes weights, check Updates and re-test your own plot.

Rarity is the skeleton of the meta. Mutations are the muscles. Units are the faces players argue about. Keep all three in view, and your tier decisions stay useful longer than any single viral ranking screenshot.
