Anime Fighters Secret Fighter Tiers

Secret fighters (the in-game ??? rarity) sit near the top of the Anime Fighters ladder: Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythical, Crafted, Secret, Divine. They are not shown on a Star’s public roster. You still pull them from that world’s Star, which is why accounts burn days of Yen on one island and then move on.

This page ranks how to treat Secrets, not a fake complete catalog of every island. The game has stacked worlds for years. Publishing eighty names as if they were all still S-tier would mislead you. The rule that does not expire: one Secret per world, and the Secret from the current world is the one that belongs on the tier list.

If you are new, read getting started and how Stars work first. If you already have Yen, pair this page with farm Yen, boosts, and codes.

Early Secrets you can actually name

Use these as orientation, not as a trophy checklist. Odds get worse as worlds get later, and community estimates from early years (roughly one-in-hundreds-of-thousands on Super Island, stretching toward a million later) are only a feel for scale. Luck artifacts, Lucky gamepasses, and Mega Luck change the session. Do not treat any published rate as a contract.

• Pinkie (Kid Buu) — Super Island, the first world. This is the Secret most guides mention because everyone starts here.
• Asuku (Nagato) — Ninja Village.
• Tokio (Dio) — Crazy Town.
• Dobonito (Doflamingo) — Fruits Island.
• Eagle Eyed (Hawks) — Hero University.
• Big Ben (Bertolt) — Walled City.
• Sun (Yoriichi) — Slayer Army.

Later worlds each hide their own Secret on that island’s Star. Event islands can add extra Secrets that later become unobtainable. If a name is not on the current world’s Star, it is a collector piece or fusion food, not your next S-core. Cross-check island order on the worlds guide and the dedicated secrets guide.

Merchant shops sometimes sell a Secret for a huge Robux tag. That is a skip for almost every account. Yen plus patience plus SHINYSBACK era Shiny boosts will get you further than a 49,999 Robux pity.

How much Yen you need to AFK farm secrets

Secret tiers in the September 2026 meta

Map Secrets onto the same S–D philosophy as the Tier List Hub:

• S Secret — the Secret that lives on the newest world’s Star, especially Shiny, Limit Broken, or Infused. Demonic DPS built off Infused Divines can share this band, but the Secret itself is the hatch target.
• A Secret — last world’s Secret, still worth a team slot until you pull the new one. Good if it already has Time, Luck, Damage, or Resurrection.
• B Secret — two-plus worlds old, or a base copy you never Limit Broke. Use it to farm while you reopen the new Star. Do not dump Passive Transfer Tokens into it.
• C / D — Secrets from the tutorial islands once you have left them. Pinkie is a teaching unit, not an endgame carry. Keep one copy for the index if you like; do not build a team of early Secrets and call it S.

A new-world Secret beats an old-world Mythical. That is the sentence that should sit on your monitor during AFK. Crafted fighters from the current world sit in B and can hold a slot, but they are not the hunt. Divines such as Vegetable, Great Ninja, Hernando, Engineered Alien, Red Bat, and Flaming Hero compete with Secrets for S/A depending on which world they dropped from, not the Divine label alone.

Passives can flip a rank. A last-world Secret with a Luck or Time passive may stay in your Star team after a weaker new Secret with a blank roll. That is not a reason to skip the new hatch. Hatch the new body, then Transfer the good passive when you have tokens. Details sit on the fighters hub and Infuse / Limit Break.

Ratings still apply. Keep A+ Secrets. A low-rated Secret from the current world is still a project because copies are rare; do not auto-sell ??? . Auto-sell Commons through Legendaries, never Secrets, never Shinies of Mythical-plus.

How to farm a Secret without lying about Yen

Secrets come from Stars on that world. There is no quest that unlocks Pinkie. You stand at the Star, hold auto-open, and let inventory plus auto-sell recycle Yen. Practical session setup:

1. Unlock the world you actually want the Secret from. Do not open Super Island Stars hoping for a late-game ??? .
2. Stack Yen first using the Yen farm guide. Bosses and previous-map mini-bosses beat punching trash for hours.
3. Equip farm passives (Luck, Time, Hording-friendly Drop) and artifacts in the Hording > Time > Dreams > Fortune order from the tools hub.
4. Pop Luck, Time, and Shiny boosts while you are opening, not while you AFK idle on a boss if those potions will expire unused. Mega versions last longer; still start them at the Star.
5. Redeem UPDATE102 and nearby codes so you have Cursed Orbs, Heavenly Fruit, and a pile of boosts before the session.
6. Stop when the Secret lands or when Yen hits a floor you cannot rebuild the same day. Chasing a million opens on an empty wallet is how people buy Robux they did not plan to spend.

Shiny Secrets are the real jackpot because Limit Break requires Shinies of the same unit. A base Secret is still S-adjacent for the current world; a Shiny Secret is the copy you protect with your life. Read Shiny fighters before you fuse anything gold.

Pity potions from Time Trials and dungeons can add a Secret pity counter. They help, they do not replace Yen. If a script promises instant Secrets, assume it is a ban risk, not a strategy.

When to stop hunting a Secret

Stop when one of these is true: you already hold the current-world Secret and the next island is out; your Yen income cannot refill a full Star session overnight; or the unit you are hunting is two worlds behind and you are only collecting for the index. Park the old Secret, move the Star, and rebuild the best team around the new world’s ??? . Secrets are a location, not a personality. The account that accepts that rotates S-tier every update. The account that does not still mains Pinkie in 2026.
