Ichi is one of the beginner-friendly sword-based units in Anime Crusaders. Inspired by classic anime swordsmen, the simple Ichi unit provides fast melee strikes and a straightforward combat style. While not as powerful as his potential evolved versions, Ichi is a reliable early-game fighter that helps players push through story stages and lower waves in Infinite mode. His strength lies in consistency rather than special mechanics, making him a good introduction to melee-focused gameplay.
Rarity and Acquisition
- Rarity: Mythic
- Availability: Obtainable through the standard summon banner
- Accessibility: Easy to summon, making him a common first pick for new players
Abilities and Skills
Ichi’s skills are centered on sword combat and precision attacks.
- Blade Strike – A simple single-target melee slash dealing consistent damage
- Crescent Cut – Launches a small sword wave that damages enemies in a line, giving him light AoE potential
- Warrior’s Spirit – Passive buff that slightly increases his attack power as the battle progresses
This skillset makes him versatile for both single-target and minor AoE damage.
Strengths
- Easy to summon and upgrade for new players
- Balanced stats with both single-target and small AoE potential
- Reliable in story progression and early Infinite runs
- Beginner-friendly with straightforward abilities
Weaknesses
- Limited scaling compared to stronger units
- Lacks unique mechanics like lifesteal, summons, or crowd control
- Outclassed by Mythic and Secret units in late-game
- Struggles in higher-tier raids where AoE and utility are essential
Best Uses
- Story Mode: Very effective for beginners progressing through early missions
- Early Infinite Mode: Can hold his own in lower waves thanks to his fast, consistent attacks
- Beginner Raids: Works as a supplementary DPS but struggles against bosses and high-health enemies
Tier Placement
- Early Game: A-Tier
- Late Game: C-Tier
- Reason: Ichi is reliable and consistent in early content but lacks the scaling and power to remain useful in late-game play.
