Command An Army Unit Tier List (September 2026)
Consensus of three creator tier lists (Roblofix Sep 9, ItzVexo and Radex Tips Sep 10), checked against summon odds and stat cards.
S Tier
| Name | Role | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Spartan | Shield-and-spear holder · 4★ · 0.19% | Top tier on all three lists and the defensive meta: Spartans parked behind shield walls are the reason Update 1 added shield breakers. |
| Immortal | Rush infantry · 4★ · 0.19% | Placed at the very top by Roblofix; a level 50 player says it fields 24 troops per spawn and rushes better than Berserker. |
| Samurai | Melee assault · 4★ · 0.06% | Joint rarest unit in the game and the melee pick creators say to build around if you pull it early. |
| Berserker | Shock melee · 4★ · 0.06% | Highest DPS shown on any stat card (38) but low health; strongest once it is already inside a point, weaker walking into shields. |
A Tier
| Name | Role | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Crossbowman | Ranged · 3★ · 4% | 177 HP, 18 damage and 360 range on its stat card: better than Archer in every stat and the best ranged unit you can realistically pull. |
| Scout Rider | Cavalry · 2★ · 20% | Fast flanker with high rush damage that gets much stronger with Ascension; evolves into Cavalryman and then Lancer. |
B Tier
| Name | Role | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Shieldman | Shield line · 1★ · 18.88% | The standard answer to archers and crossbows; evolves into Sentinel and then Imperial Wall. |
| Spearman | Anti-cavalry · 1★ · 18.88% | Held in place it shuts down Scout Riders and Lancers; evolves into Pikeman. |
| Mercenary | Melee infantry · 1★ · 18.88% | Common filler that becomes useful through its evolution path: Squire, then the 3-star Knight. |
C Tier
| Name | Role | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Archer | Ranged · 1★ · 18.88% | 144 HP, 14 damage and 300 range, weaker than Crossbowman in every stat; worth keeping only to evolve into Longbowman. |

How this tier list was built
We have not ranked units from our own matches. This list lines up the three creator tier lists published in the first week (Roblofix on September 9, 2026, ItzVexo and Radex Tips on September 10), then checks each placement against the summon odds and the stat cards shown on screen. The three lists do not contradict each other: ItzVexo and Radex Tips only name their top picks, so the lower tiers follow Roblofix's full ranking.
| Unit | Roblofix (Sep 9) | ItzVexo (Sep 10) | Radex Tips (Sep 10) | This list |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spartan | S | Top four (4-star) | Top four (4-star) | S |
| Immortal | S (ranked #1) | Top four (4-star) | Top four (4-star) | S |
| Samurai | S | Top four (4-star) | Top four (4-star) | S |
| Berserker | S | Top four, highest DPS | Top four (4-star) | S |
| Crossbowman | A | Good ranged pick | Build around it | A |
| Scout Rider | A | Useful for flanks | Build around it | A |
| Shieldman | B | Not ranked | Not ranked | B |
| Spearman | B | Not ranked | Not ranked | B |
| Mercenary | B | Not ranked | Not ranked | B |
| Archer | C | Worst unit | Not ranked | C |
Not ranked yet
- Evolved units (Squire, Knight, Sentinel, Imperial Wall, Pikeman, Longbowman, Cavalryman, Lancer): one level 50 player names Lancer, Pikeman, Imperial Wall and Longbowman among the best units right now, but no creator has ranked them yet. See the evolution paths.
- Update 1 units (Spear Militia, Halberder, Javelineer, Flaming Archers, Mace): early tests at level 1 show Mace and Halberder breaking shields well, which makes them the counter to the S-tier Spartan wall. The counter chart has the matchups.
Rarity is not everything
The game itself says rarer doesn't always mean stronger. An ascended Scout Rider costs 2 stars and can outfight a fresh 4-star with no copies behind it, and every unit has to fit your star limit. Pull rates for every unit are on the summons page.
Tier list FAQ
What is the best unit in Command An Army?
Spartan for defense and Immortal, Samurai or Berserker for attack. All four are 4-star units. If you have none yet, build around Crossbowman and Scout Rider, which every creator list places right below them.
Is Berserker the worst 4-star?
Players ask this a lot. It has the highest DPS on any stat card but low health, so it struggles walking into a shield wall and shines once your army is already inside a point. It is still S tier on all three lists.
Where are the evolved and Update 1 units?
Not ranked yet. Evolved forms (Lancer, Imperial Wall, Longbowman and the rest) need level 20, and the Update 1 units have only been tested at level 1 so far. They will be ranked once enough gameplay is out.
