Anime Card Clash Support Tier List
Supports quietly win more fights than raw damage numbers suggest. Buffs, shields, cooldown reduction, and enemy debuffs multiply your attackers' effective DPS and keep teams alive through raid mechanics and tower endurance checks. This Anime Card Clash support tier list ranks every significant utility card from S+ to D so you know where to invest trait rerolls and evolution stones. Cross-reference the attacker tier list when assembling synergistic lineups.
Full Support Rankings
Rankings weigh universal applicability, buff magnitude, cooldown reliability, and synergy depth with current meta attackers. Tier placement assumes average trait rolls—exceptional traits can bump a card half a tier in practice.
| Tier | Supports |
|---|---|
| S+ | Black Slime, Fallen Knight, Orb of Dominance, Shinobi Cells, Slayer Mark |
| S | Binding Light, Galaxy, Limitless, Mech Contract, Sky Drum, Truck, Vorpal Soul |
| A | Foxcloak, Null Blade, Red Thorn, Sealed Cube, Shadow May |
| B | Music Idol, Truck (variant) |
| C | Frost Storm Blade, Heart of Cards, Hidden Monarch, Mystic Spears, Vase of Greed |
| D | Beast Contract, Cursed Ledger, Substitution Log |
S+ Tier: Non-Negotiable Utilities
Black Slime remains the community's favorite buffer thanks to consistent team-wide stat boosts that stack with potion effects from redeemed promo codes. Fallen Knight adds defensive layers for tower climbs, Orb of Dominance amplifies crit chains for burst attackers, Shinobi Cells accelerates ability cycling, and Slayer Mark ties directly into demon hunter-themed DPS spikes. Owning even one S+ support transforms mediocre attacker rosters into viable endgame decks.
S Tier: Flexible Core Supports
Offensive Buffers
Binding Light, Galaxy, Limitless, Mech Contract, Sky Drum, Truck, and Vorpal Soul cover different archetypes—crit teams, ability spam, and mech synergy lines each have a preferred S tier pick. Limitless pairs naturally with Limitless Master attackers in the B tier, creating budget-friendly loops until you upgrade individual pieces.
Control and Utility
Vorpal Soul and Truck double as soft damage sources while maintaining buff uptime. These cards appear frequently enough that most mid-game players acquire copies through normal rolling rather than targeted chasing alone.
A and B Tier: Transition Options
Foxcloak, Null Blade, Red Thorn, Sealed Cube, and Shadow May fill A tier as solid supports until S-tier replacements arrive. They perform well in story mode and low-floor towers but struggle when raid bosses apply cleanse or shield break mechanics. B-tier Music Idol and Truck variant serve niche roles—Music Idol for event stages with rhythm bonuses, Truck variant as a duplicate buffer when you lack the primary Truck copy.
C and D Tier: Collection Fodder
Frost Storm Blade, Heart of Cards, Hidden Monarch, Mystic Spears, and Vase of Greed occupy C tier with situational kits that rarely justify investment. D-tier Beast Contract, Cursed Ledger, and Substitution Log should not receive premium resources unless future patches buff their numbers. Feed or stash duplicates for potential trade shop value described in our traits guide.
- Match support elements to your lead attacker for hidden synergy bonuses.
- Prioritize cooldown reduction traits on Orb of Dominance and Shinobi Cells.
- Run at least one cleanse or shield support before attempting witch tower upper floors.
- Test support swaps with the deck optimizer before spending materials.
Support-First Team Building
Advanced players sometimes pull supports before attackers because buffs scale entire teams. Open packs ranked on the pack tier list that feature your target utility cards, then slot the best available attacker around them. For dungeon coin farming routes, read our dungeon teams guide, which lists support-heavy compositions that outperform glass cannon setups in sustained farms.
Supports age gracefully—unlike damage dealers who get power crept by newer stat sticks, a well-designed buffer stays relevant across multiple meta cycles. Invest wisely in S+ and S tier cards and your Anime Card Clash account will reward you long after individual attackers rotate out of favor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best support in Anime Card Clash?
Black Slime, Fallen Knight, Orb of Dominance, Shinobi Cells, and Slayer Mark occupy S+ tier thanks to team-wide buffs, debuff cleansing, or damage amplification that no attacker replicates.
How many supports should I run in a deck?
Most optimal decks run two to three supports depending on mode. Tower and raid content favor defensive utility, while speed farming decks may slot only one buffer plus attackers.
Are low-tier supports ever useful?
D-tier supports like Beast Contract can fill gaps in early story teams, but replace them as soon as you pull B-tier or higher options from recommended packs.
Do supports need trait rerolls?
High-tier supports benefit enormously from traits that extend buff duration or reduce cooldowns. Prioritize rerolls on S+ supports you plan to keep endgame.
Where do I pull top supports?
Many S-tier supports appear across multiple banners. Consult the pack tier list and focus rolls on packs that list your target support in the top card pool.
Can supports carry damage in a pinch?
Some supports like Vorpal Soul and Galaxy blend buffs with respectable chip damage, but they should not replace dedicated attackers in boss fights.
