Anime Ball Duels tier list
No developer-published Anime Ball Duels tier list was found in the 16 October 2026 research snapshot. This page separates one secondary 1v1 report from a community ranking without a published method. Neither is a tested ranking for the current build.
The one match with a described result
animeballduels.org says a Baseplate 1v1 recording showed Jinwu Shadow Monarch beating Kaniko. Both started at 100 HP in that clip. The same page says this does not make Jinwu the best ball in the game, and it was not retested after Update 1.5.1.
Names differ between sites. The footage log uses Jinwu Shadow Monarch and Kaniko. Other guides say Gojo, Sukuna, or Luffy for balls the footage log spells Gozyo, Sakuno, and Loofy. I keep the footage spelling and mention the alias.
A community ladder, labeled as one site’s opinion
animeballduels.com, updated 11 October 2026, grouped balls like this. Treat every row as that site’s label, not a measured win rate.
| Their label | Balls they named |
|---|---|
| Divine / SS+ | Nurato Six Paths |
| God-tier / S+ | Guko Ultra Instinct, Jinwu Shadow Monarch, Yuto with Rika |
| S | Gojo, Sukuna, Tozi, Rengoko, Deku, Tanjiro |
| A | Naoyo, Gear 5 Luffy, Kurama Naruto, Ichigo, Saitama |
| B | Starter and ordinary gacha balls, not named one by one |
What would change the order
A useful comparison would hold the map, traits, and build constant across repeated duels. Until that evidence is available, use the ball index for dated secondary rarity and banner records, and the trait page for reported menu effects. Scarcity and trade value are not substitutes for combat performance.
Questions
Who is the best ball in Anime Ball Duels?
The saved sources do not establish a best ball. animeballduels.org reports Jinwu Shadow Monarch beating Kaniko in one October 2026 clip, not a full ladder or a current-build test.
Which update is this for?
The community notes say Update 1.5. The Roblox API does not expose a version string. The experience updated on 2026-10-16.
