Brulo (Rage) is one of the Secret-rarity units in Anime Crusaders. He is widely considered one of the top-tier DPS (damage per second) units. What makes him stand out is his burst potential, AoE capability, and strong scaling when upgraded and evolved. Several tier lists place him in S-Tier among the best units you can get.
Unit Type & Role
- Rarity: Secret (top tier)
- Damage Role: Hybrid DPS — meaning he can do well against multiple kinds of enemies (ground, flying), and benefits from traits that scale both damage and possibly range etc.
- Specialty: Burst damage + AoE (area of effect) damage. He’s especially effective in waves where you can hit multiple enemies at once
Strengths
Here are what players / guides list as Brulo’s main strengths:
- High Burst Potential
After certain upgrades / evolutions / with traits, Brulo can produce very powerful burst damage, meaning he can clear or severely damage groups of enemies quickly. - Good AoE Coverage
His attacks have area-effects. That means in tightly packed waves, or against grouped enemies, he becomes very valuable. - Anti-Air / Versatility
He is noted in many lists to be good vs flying enemies, which is a plus because many units are weaker or unable to target flying foes. - Meta Standing
Due to his output, versatility, and scaling (with evolutions / upgrades / traits), Brulo is repeatedly placed in S-Tier by many sources, which means he is among the very best choices to invest in.
Weaknesses & Trade-Offs
No unit is perfect, and Brulo has trade-offs. Some of these are inferred from guides and tier lists:
- Cost / Rarity: Being Secret rarity, he is expensive to summon, and expensive / resource-intensive to upgrade and evolve. This makes him a later-game goal for many players.
- Slower Attack Speed / Long Cooldowns: Many powerful unit burst-types tend to have slower SPA (seconds per attack), or need setup (traits, evolution) to reach full power. The guides suggest that Brulo shines when upgraded and evolved with good traits. Without those, he might lag.
- Trait / Evolution Dependency: To fully unlock his potential, you need good traits, evolutions, possibly certain materials. If you don’t have those, his performance is less outstanding.
Best Use & Strategy Tips
To maximize what Brulo offers, these strategies are commonly recommended:
- Invest in Upgrades / Evolution Early
Try to evolve him and select beneficial traits early when possible. Prioritize traits that boost burst, range, and damage. These amplify his AoE and damage output considerably. - Pair with Supports & Buffs
Units that can stun, slow, or increase damage or attack speed (or reduce cooldowns / improve traits) help Brulo perform much better. Also, supports that can weaken enemies or cluster them (crowd control) help him hit multiple enemies in his AoE. - Use Against Waves with Many Enemies
Since his AoE performs best when multiple enemies are in range, map selection or wave types matter. If a wave has many weak enemies, Brulo can clear them fast. For boss waves, his burst helps, but other units with sustain / single target damage may be needed in addition. - Trait Reroll Priority
Many guides emphasize rerolling traits to boost his effectiveness. Traits that increase damage, maybe range or burst multipliers, are especially valuable. If you have to choose, prioritize traits that make him hit more enemies, hit hard, or have shorter cooldowns.
Where Brulo Ranks in the Meta
- Brulo is consistently ranked in S-Tier among the top units in multiple meta / tier-list sources.
- In the September 2025 UPD 0.5 context, he remains one of the best options for DPS, especially when fighting waves with air enemies, or when you need AoE / burst output.
