Anime Card Clash Tier List (2026) — Best Cards Ranked
Short answer: Awakened Eclipseborn Hawk is the #1 card in Anime Card Clash right now. With 8.68K base DMG that scales to 138.88K at max level and a Sacrificial Pact Domain ability that warps entire matches, it's in a league of its own. But the meta isn't just about one card — your supports and deck synergies matter just as much as your top attacker.
This tier list covers every meta-relevant card in Anime Card Clash on Roblox, developed by RNG Lab. We've ranked both attackers and supports across SS, S, A, and B tiers based on raw stats, ability utility, and how they perform in actual deck compositions.

SS Tier — Best Cards in Anime Card Clash
These are the cards that define the meta. If you have them, you build around them. If you don't, you plan around facing them. SS tier cards have the highest stat ceilings, the most impactful abilities, and they warp deck building just by existing in the card pool.
Awakened Eclipseborn Hawk
Awakened Eclipseborn Hawk sits at the absolute top of this tier list, and it's not particularly close. This quest card starts with a base DMG of 8.68K and base HP of 17.36K. At max level, those numbers balloon to 138.88K DMG and 277.76K HP — stats that dwarf everything else in the game right now.
What makes Eclipseborn Hawk truly broken is the Sacrificial Pact Domain ability. When this card enters the field, it creates a damage domain equal to the card's damage that lasts for 3 turns. On turn 1, it disables all enemy abilities entirely. Then enemies receive a stacking 10% DMG reduction per turn, but here's the twist — that damage reduction converts into max HP that gets shared among your living party members. You're literally turning the enemy's weakness into your team's durability.
The card is obtained by completing the Character Quest "This Is My Chosen Path." It can't be pulled from packs or traded. You have to earn it. The quest is demanding, but the payoff is the single strongest attacker in Anime Card Clash by a significant margin.
Awakened Tormented Swordsman
Awakened Tormented Swordsman is the second-best attacker in the game. Where Eclipseborn Hawk controls the battlefield through domain mechanics, Tormented Swordsman is a pure damage machine. Its raw DPS output is the highest among non-quest cards, and its scaling at max level puts it comfortably above every S-tier attacker.
This card excels when you need consistent single-target pressure. While Eclipseborn Hawk is about area denial and team-wide buffs, Tormented Swordsman just hits extremely hard, every turn, without conditions. For players who prefer straightforward aggression over complex ability interactions, this is the card to build around. It's also more forgiving in terms of deck-building requirements — you don't need specific supports to unlock its potential.
Together, Eclipseborn Hawk and Tormented Swordsman form the two pillars of the current attacker meta. Every serious deck either runs one of these cards or specifically techs against them.
SS Tier Supports
The SS-tier support pool is what separates good decks from great ones. These five cards are the backbone of every top-performing composition in the game right now.
Black Slime is the single most important support card in Anime Card Clash. It's a core staple in virtually every competitive deck because its passive ability amplifies your attacker's damage output in ways that no other support can replicate. If you own one SS attacker and one support, make Black Slime that support.
Fallen Knight provides defensive utility that keeps your attacker alive through sustained engagements. In longer matches where both sides are trading blows, Fallen Knight's damage mitigation is the difference between your attacker surviving to turn 4 and getting wiped on turn 2.
Orb of Dominance functions as a damage multiplier that scales with the number of turns your attacker stays on the field. It starts slow but becomes devastating by mid-game. Pair it with tanky attackers like Tormented Swordsman for maximum value.
Shinobi Cells offers regeneration and ability cooldown reduction. It's particularly strong alongside Eclipseborn Hawk because the faster you can cycle Sacrificial Pact Domain, the more oppressive the domain uptime becomes.
Slayer Mark applies a debuff to enemy cards that increases all damage they take. It works on every attacker in the game, but it's especially nasty when combined with high-damage SS attackers. The percentage-based amplification means it scales with your best cards rather than having a flat ceiling.
S Tier — Excellent Cards
S-tier cards are genuinely powerful. They won't single-handedly carry a weak deck the way SS-tier cards can, but they're strong enough to anchor competitive compositions and they show up consistently in high-level play.
S Tier Attackers
Shadow Commander comes from the Manhwa Pack and hits hard enough to earn an A-tier attacker rating on raw stats alone. What pushes it into S tier is the pack context — as the headliner of an S+ pack, it's the most accessible high-end attacker for players who open packs rather than grind quests. Its damage profile sits between the A-tier attackers and the SS-tier monsters, making it a reliable carry until you can upgrade to Eclipseborn Hawk or Tormented Swordsman.
Deranged Elder Assassin is the Hunter Pack's marquee card, and it plays differently from Shadow Commander. Where Shadow Commander is about sustained pressure, Deranged Elder Assassin is a burst-oriented attacker that can delete enemy cards in a single turn under the right conditions. Its ceiling is higher than Shadow Commander's, but its floor is lower — you need the right supports to unlock that burst potential.
S Tier Supports
The S-tier support pool runs about 7 cards deep, and these are the cards that fill out your deck after you've slotted in whatever SS supports you own. They're not as individually impactful as Black Slime or Slayer Mark, but they provide crucial utility — things like energy acceleration, conditional damage buffs, and targeted removal tools. If you're building a competitive deck and don't have a full set of SS supports, S-tier supports are more than capable of filling those gaps. A deck with 2 SS supports and 3 S-tier supports will still perform well against most opponents.
A Tier — Strong Cards
A-tier cards are solid picks that work well in the right context. They won't top the leaderboards on their own, but a well-constructed A-tier deck with strong synergies can absolutely compete. In fact, this is where deck building skill matters most — the gap between a good A-tier deck and a bad one is enormous.
A-tier attackers deal respectable damage and have useful abilities, but they lack the raw stat scaling or game-warping mechanics of SS and S cards. They're the cards you'll run while working toward better options, and some players stick with them permanently because they enjoy the playstyle.
A-tier supports provide niche utility that shines in specific matchups. Some A-tier supports are actually better than S-tier options in certain deck archetypes. For example, if you're running a burn-focused composition, an A-tier support that amplifies burn damage will outperform a generic S-tier damage buffer.
The key takeaway for A tier: these cards reward knowledge and deck-building creativity. If you understand the matchups and build specifically for them, A-tier cards can punch above their weight class. If you're curious how card-based Roblox games compare to gacha-style ones, our Anime Vanguards tier list covers a similar breakdown for that game.
B Tier — Solid Cards
B-tier is where older cards and early-game options live. These cards aren't bad — they do what they're designed to do — but they've been outpaced by newer releases and power creep. You'll use B-tier cards when you're starting out, and you'll gradually replace them as you pull or earn better options.
B-tier attackers have lower stat ceilings and less impactful abilities compared to everything above them. A max-level B-tier attacker might have damage numbers that look decent on paper, but the absence of domain abilities, burst mechanics, or scaling passives means they fall behind in longer matches. They're fine for clearing easier content and completing daily challenges.
B-tier supports similarly do their job but without the multiplier effects or synergy potential of higher-tier options. They provide flat buffs, basic healing, or simple stat boosts. Nothing wrong with that when you're building your collection, but you'll notice the difference when you start slotting in S and SS supports.
One important note: some B-tier cards have niche uses in specific event modes or challenge stages where higher-tier cards are restricted. Don't discard your B-tier collection entirely — RNG Lab occasionally runs events that reward creative use of lower-tier cards.

Best Packs to Open
Not all packs are created equal. If you're spending Robux or saved-up currency on packs, these three give you the best return on investment.
Manhwa Pack
The Manhwa Pack is the top recommendation for most players. It contains Shadow Commander, an S+ tier attacker that can carry you through mid-game and remain relevant in late-game decks. The supporting cards in this pack also include several solid S-tier supports, so even your non-headliner pulls have value. If you can only open one premium pack, make it this one.
Hunter Pack
The Hunter Pack gives you a shot at Deranged Elder Assassin, the burst-damage specialist that can one-shot enemy cards under ideal conditions. The Hunter Pack's support cards lean toward offensive synergies, making it a good choice if you're building an aggressive deck. It's the best pack for players who already have defensive supports and need raw killing power.
Inferno Pack
The Inferno Pack rounds out the top three with its own S+ tier attacker and a set of fire-themed supports that create a self-contained deck archetype. Burn damage stacking is a legitimate strategy in the current meta, and the Inferno Pack gives you most of the pieces you need. It's slightly more niche than Manhwa or Hunter, but if the burn playstyle appeals to you, it's the most efficient path to a competitive burn deck.
How We Ranked These Cards
Our tier list is based on four factors, weighted in this order:
1. Raw Stats at Max Level. Base DMG, base HP, and how those numbers scale. Awakened Eclipseborn Hawk's 138.88K max DMG and 277.76K max HP set the benchmark. Every other card is measured against that ceiling.
2. Ability Impact. A card with average stats but a game-changing ability (like Sacrificial Pact Domain's turn 1 ability disable) ranks higher than a card with great stats and a mediocre ability. Abilities that warp the game state earn extra weight.
3. Deck Synergy Potential. Cards that slot into multiple deck archetypes rank higher than cards that only work in one specific build. Black Slime is SS tier partly because it fits literally every deck. A support that only works with burn cards has a lower ceiling regardless of how good it is in that one archetype.
4. Accessibility. This is the tiebreaker. Between two similarly powerful cards, the one that's easier to obtain gets a slight edge in our ranking. Quest cards like Eclipseborn Hawk are free but time-consuming. Pack cards cost resources but are available immediately. We note the acquisition method for every card so you can plan accordingly.
We re-evaluate every card after each RNG Lab update. Balance changes, new card releases, and meta shifts from the competitive community all factor into our revisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Awakened Eclipseborn Hawk is the best card in Anime Card Clash as of April 2026. It's a quest card with 8.68K base DMG that scales to 138.88K at max level. Its Sacrificial Pact Domain ability creates a damage domain lasting 3 turns, disables all enemy abilities on turn 1, and converts damage reduction into max HP shared among your living party members.
The Manhwa Pack, Hunter Pack, and Inferno Pack are the three best packs. Each contains an S+ tier card — Shadow Commander from Manhwa, Deranged Elder Assassin from Hunter, and a top-tier attacker from Inferno. Focus your resources on one pack rather than spreading across all of them.
Absolutely. A well-built A-tier deck with proper synergies can outperform a poorly constructed SS-tier deck. Cards like Black Slime and Slayer Mark amplify your attackers significantly when paired correctly. Always build around synergies rather than just stacking the highest-tier cards you own.
Awakened Eclipseborn Hawk is obtained by completing the Character Quest called "This Is My Chosen Path." It's not available through packs or trading — you have to earn it through gameplay. The quest is challenging but the reward is the strongest attacker card in the game.
Not entirely. While premium packs give access to strong S+ cards like Shadow Commander, the best card in the game (Awakened Eclipseborn Hawk) is a free quest reward. Supports like Black Slime and Slayer Mark are obtainable without spending Robux. Smart deck building matters more than spending money.
The meta shifts with each major update from RNG Lab, typically every 2-4 weeks. New card releases, balance patches, and ability reworks can all shuffle the rankings. We update this tier list after every significant patch to keep it current.
