Ranking Method

Last checked May 27, 2026

Power first, value second

This page ranks Secret units by practical usefulness first: DPS, control, late-game scaling, support, and mode coverage. Trading demand matters, but a rare unit is not automatically top tier if it does not carry content.

  • Power: can the unit carry story, infinite, raid, or boss content?
  • Flexibility: does it work in multiple modes or only one niche?
  • Rarity pressure: limited or newer secrets may trade above their combat value.
  • Verification note: Universal Festival P1/1.5/P2 added or highlighted several One Piece units, with Roger, Garp, Sabo, Mihawk, and evolved warlord units rising in demand.

Verification note: Secret unit context was checked against current public guides from Destructoid, Pro Game Guides, and All Things How, plus official Discord announcement context for Universal Festival. New Festival units may shift as more players test them.

Top Secret Unit Targets

Best Picks
SSS

Dragon Warlord

Top damage / late-game carry

A premier Secret target when you need a unit that remains useful across hard content. Prioritize premium damage traits and strong relic support.

Best traits: Ruler, Duelist, Sacred
SSS

Sharpshooter King

Range / boss pressure

High-value pick for players who need consistent boss damage and strong map coverage. Particularly attractive when range and targeting matter.

Best traits: Ruler, Sniper, Duelist
SS

Gluttonous Warlord

Wave clear / burst

Strong damage profile and good general usefulness. It may not be the rarest Secret, but it is one of the easier units to justify building.

Best traits: Ruler, Sacred, cooldown
SS

Jinoo

Summon / scaling utility

Still a strong Secret because summon-style kits can cover lanes and scale differently from plain single-tower DPS.

Best traits: Ruler, Eternal, Sacred

Secret Unit Rankings

UPD 3.25
Tier Unit Best Role Build / Value Note
SSS Dragon Warlord Endgame carry One of the safest Secret investments if your account needs top-end damage.
SSS Sharpshooter King Boss / range DPS Excellent when range, targeting, and single-target pressure matter.
SS Gluttonous Warlord Burst and wave clear Very strong practical unit even when trade demand shifts.
SS Jinoo Summon scaling Useful in multiple modes because summons can stabilize lanes.
S Lulu Utility / control Worth keeping for utility-heavy teams and mode-specific control.
S Dragon Girl Flexible DPS Public tier lists continue to rate it highly; build if your roster lacks a carry.
A New UPD 3 Secrets Market watch Roger, Garp, Sabo, Mihawk, Luffy & Zoro, Big Mom, and Kaido may trade high before the meta settles.
A Older niche Secrets Mode-specific Can be good, but only build them when their mechanic fits your target mode.

Universal Festival Unit Watchlist

P1 / 1.5 / P2
Unit Known Form / Title Source Path Current Read
Roger Pirate King / Voyage Festival Banner Highest watch priority because new banner secrets usually carry early demand.
Sabo Revolutionary Chief / Emperor Festival Banner Watch for burn, support, or hybrid scaling before overpaying.
Mihawk Strongest Swordsman / Hunter Festival Banner Likely to be valued around boss pressure and premium DPS potential.
Garp Marine Hero / Grand Fist Festival Banner / update additions Strong demand signal while the Festival meta is still settling.
Luffy & Zoro Duo unit Festival event pool Duo units often spike from novelty; wait for real damage testing.
Big Mom / Kaido Festival units Raids, Battlepass, or event content Track role fit before rating above proven carries.
Gluttonous Warlord Despair Raids / updates Already useful for burst and wave control; strong practical build target.
Dragon Warlord Rage Raids / updates Still one of the safer endgame carry investments.
Mochi Pirate / Quake Warlord Conqueror / Destroyer Legend Stage / challenge content Mode-specific value depends on crowd control, boss damage, and farming difficulty.
Sharpshooter King / Triple Threat Trapper / Unrivaled Battlepass / event content Sharpshooter remains a strong range DPS reference; Triple Threat needs role testing.

Universal Festival Meta Watchlist

New Meta
!
New secrets need a price cooldown

Universal Festival P1/1.5/P2 added many high-demand units through Festival Banner, Raids, Battlepass, Challenges, and Legend Stages. New units often spike in price before players agree on their real place in the meta.

  • Build immediately if the unit clearly fills a missing role on your account.
  • Trade carefully if the price is based only on novelty.
  • Wait for tests before valuing a new Secret above proven carries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Secret units always better than Mythics?
No. Some Mythics can outperform niche Secrets in specific modes. Secrets are rare, but usefulness still depends on the kit.
Should I pull or trade for a Secret?
Usually trade carefully unless the banner has multiple units you need. Pulling only for one Secret can be expensive.
Why are new Secrets hard to rank?
Testing takes time. Early prices are often driven by hype, rarity, and limited supply before the community agrees on performance.
