If we're talking about the most oppressive units in Anime Vanguards right now, Ukora and Eizen are at the top of the list.

They are broken in different ways. Ukora is the burst carry with huge long-range hits, while Eizen is the safer all-purpose unit that slows enemies, controls space, and keeps dealing damage over time. From real runs, the biggest difference is simple: Ukora looks flashier, but Eizen often feels stronger in actual matches.

↖ Quick Comparison

Here's the fast answer.

If you can only build one, start with Eizen. He gives more value in real runs.

↖ How to Get and Build Them

The hard part usually isn't just getting the unit. It's finishing the build.

↖ Main Resources You'll Need

↖ Best Upgrade Order

If your resources are limited, use this order:

1. Evolve the unit

2. Get a usable trait

3. Level the unit

4. Upgrade the memorial

5. Optimize stats later

This is the cleanest path because a usable evolved unit helps immediately. A perfect memorial on an unfinished unit usually doesn't.

↖ Ukora Guide

Ukora is the more explosive unit, but he's also less forgiving.

↖ Why Ukora Is So Strong

His damage scales with distance, and at full value he can hit extremely hard with guaranteed crit pressure. In testing, fully set-up hits were landing in the multi-million range, which is why he feels so strong against bosses and priority targets.

↖ Best Build for Ukora

↖ Real Tip

Because Ukora scales with distance, placement matters more than people think. If you put him too close, you're leaving a lot of damage on the table.

↖ Eizen Guide

Eizen is the unit I'd recommend first for most players.

↖ Why Eizen Is So Strong

He does more than just DPS:

• slows enemies,
• pressures a large area,
• scales well in long runs,
• and gets extra value through revival.

In actual gameplay, that means he helps stabilize bad situations. That's a big reason he feels better than a lot of pure damage units.

↖ Best Build for Eizen

↖ Real Tip

Eizen is strongest when we play around his map pressure, not just his placement damage. If your run gets messy, he usually holds up better than Ukora.

↖ Ukora vs Eizen: Which One Should You Build First?

This is the choice most players care about.

From experience, Eizen is the better first project, especially if your account is still growing. Ukora becomes more appealing once you already have a solid core and want stronger burst.

↖ Common Mistakes

These are the mistakes that waste the most resources.

If you find one of these happening, fix the build order first. That usually solves the problem.

↖ FAQ

↖ Is Ukora or Eizen better in Anime Vanguards?

For most accounts, Eizen is better as a first build because he offers more control, safety, and long-run value. Ukora is better for burst and boss damage.

↖ What is the best trait for Ukora?

Monarch is the best all-around option. Deadeye is also very good if you want stronger burst value.

↖ What is the best trait for Eizen?

Monarch is the best trait for Eizen because it supports his scaling and makes his overall value even better.

↖ Should we upgrade the unit or the memorial first?

Upgrade the unit first. Then get a usable trait, level it, and only after that start pushing the memorial harder.

↖ Are Ukora and Eizen worth building without perfect stats?

Yes. Both units are already strong before perfect optimization. Good rerolls help, but the evolved unit matters more.

↖ Final Thoughts

If we keep it simple, the answer is this:

• Ukora is the stronger burst unit.
• Eizen is the better all-around unit.
• Eizen is usually the smarter first investment.
• Ukora is amazing once your account can support him properly.

The reason these two units stand out is not just big numbers. It's that they stay impactful in real runs. That's what makes them worth the resources.
