Anime Piece Tier List: Fruits and Swords Worth Choosing
Anime Piece fruits and swords ranked from player-measured damage, cooldowns and acquisition effort rather than invented scores — plus what each pick costs to get.
Quick answer
Infinity (Gojo) is the best fruit of the three players have damage-tested in Anime Piece — not the hardest hitter, but the one with low cooldowns and skills that combo. Vessel (Sukuna) deals the most raw damage, Quake is sunk by a 50-plus-second cooldown on its wave skill, and Flame is the farming pick players keep recommending. Among swords, the quest-crafted Dual Sword out-measured a Dark Blade (Yoru) and costs no Robux.
- Infinity dealt about 1,016 total skill damage at max fruit stat; Vessel about 1,148 and Quake about 1,040 — cooldowns, not raw numbers, decide the ranking.
- Flame adds a flight mode for travel (no attacking mid-flight) and is repeatedly called one of the best farming fruits in the game.
- Dual Sword at 73 mastery: roughly 170 damage per M1 click, about 6,000 on a held Z, 790 on X and 852 on C — enough for its owner to bench his 98-mastery Dark Blade.
- Rolling a fruit needs level 50 or higher and 10,000 cash; the dealer's rotating stock can be bought with money or Robux.
Anime Piece has no official grades for its fruits and swords, and letter tiers invented from feel do not survive contact with a health bar. What exists instead: a controlled, player-run damage test of the three premium fruits the shop bills as the strongest, hands-on showcases of the rest of the roster, and a head-to-head test of two top swords. Here are the picks those measurements support — and where the data stops.
The picks at a glance
The picks at a glance
BEST TESTED PICK
Infinity (Gojo)
Low cooldowns across the kit and skills that combo — the tester's best overall pick at about 1,016 total skill damage.
HIGHEST RAW DAMAGE
Vessel (Sukuna)
About 1,148 total skill damage in the test; the high V-skill cooldown is the trade-off.
FARMING PICK
Flame
Repeatedly called one of the best farming fruits; flight mode makes island travel painless (no attacking mid-flight).
TESTED: SKIP
Quake (Tremor)
Solid numbers but the wave skill sits on a reported 50-plus-second cooldown.
BEST FREE SWORD
Dual Sword
Measured above a paid Dark Blade in a player head-to-head; crafted free through the questline.
How the fruit test was run
Testers measured Vessel (Sukuna), Infinity (Gojo) and Quake (Tremor) shortly before launch. To keep the comparison clean they removed every damage-modifying accessory (HP-only accessories only), set the fruit stat to its 300 maximum, and recorded each skill's damage against NPCs. All numbers below are PvE; the same skills appeared to hit for roughly half that on players in PvP, though the testers themselves were not sure that split is a fixed rule.
The tested fruits, by their own numbers
Data table
| Fruit | Skill damage (Z/X/C/V) | Total | Cooldowns | Testers verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Infinity (Gojo) | 235 / 249 / 250 / 285 | ~1,016 | Low across the kit | Best overall pick — skills combo well |
| Vessel (Sukuna) | 260 / 278 / 290 / 320 | ~1,148 | High on the V skill | Hits hardest; still rated second to Infinity |
| Quake (Tremor) | 220 / 307 / 237 / 276 | ~1,040 | Wave skill over 50 seconds | Not worth it despite the raw numbers |
The three totals land within about 130 damage of each other, which is exactly the testers' point: raw damage barely separates these fruits, so cooldowns and combo flow decide it. Infinity's kit — Lapse Blue, Reversal Red, Overwhelming Energy, Hollow Purple, plus M1s — chains fast enough to win on uptime, and the testers' verdict was that Gojo's fruit is the better overall pick. Vessel (Dismantle, Spider Web, Cut Prison, Fuga) still deals great damage even with zero points in fruit-scaling stats, one showcase found, though that demonstrator also felt its cooldowns seemed high. Quake's problem is its wave skill, reported at over 50 seconds of cooldown — the testers' own words were that it "isn't looking so great" despite solid numbers.
Fruits the test did not cover
- Flame is the clearest consensus outside the test. Multiple players call it one of the best farming fruits, and the standing advice is simple: if it is in the dealer's stock, take it. Its F skill is a flight mode that makes island travel painless — you just cannot attack while flying — and its Z/X/C/V skills include hold-to-charge variants.
- Emperor (Frieza) rewards patience. In one early session, a freshly rolled Emperor hit for less than the default combat clicks until its mastery rose; once the X skill unlocked, the same player called it extremely strong. Judge it after some mastery, not at first bite.
- Beast (Broly) has a transformation that buffs fruit damage and M1 damage. Useful, but it adds no new moves.
- Copy is a novelty pick: its body-copy move only works when the target is another player.
Getting a fruit, and changing it
- Roll the fruit gacha. A roll requires level 50 or higher and 10,000 cash.
- Buy from the fruit dealer's stock NPC with money or Robux. The stock rotates — Chop, Barrier, Bomb, Flame and Beast were on the shelf during one observed visit — so check back.
- Remove an unwanted fruit at the removal NPC for a cash payment. Reported prices differ (30,000 vs 6,500), so treat the exact figure as unconfirmed.
- Fruits also appear to spawn around the map, and a fruit notifier game pass exists if you want help spotting them.
Rolling drains cash fast — the money guide covers earning it, and a live code or two from the Anime Piece codes page softens the bill.
Dual Sword vs Dark Blade, measured
One player tested both swords against NPCs with Armament Haki V3 active:
| Skill | Dual Sword (73 mastery) | Dark Blade / Yoru (98 mastery) |
|---|---|---|
| M1, per click | ~170 | not recorded |
| Z | ~6,000 (held) | ~560 |
| X | 790 | ~840 |
| C | 852 | ~900 |
The X and C edges technically go to the Dark Blade, but it also carried 25 more mastery, and the tester read that gap as a mastery difference rather than a better weapon. Overall, he judged the Dual Sword more damaging and far more combo-friendly: its C lifts you above NPC attack range so enemies swing at nothing while you send the hit back down, and nothing in the kit knocks mobs out of combo distance. He switched from the Dark Blade to the Dual Sword for farming, and the sword's crafter calls it possibly the strongest weapon in the game. Max mastery is probably 100, though that player was not certain.

Other swords players rate
- Reaper Scythe (game pass): good range and damage, and one player's main weapon through his entire progression.
- Banana Sword: goofy to look at, but its Banana Region heal restores about 309 HP and players rate the move highly.
- Inverted Spear of Heaven: two moves, judged pretty good for what it is.
- Dark Blade: the community favorite on looks, with strong moves behind it — but it and the Reaper Scythe are paid exclusives, which is why the free Dual Sword matters.
These are individual player judgments from showcases, not controlled measurements.
Quick picks
- Best tested fruit overall: Infinity (Gojo) — low cooldowns, clean combos.
- Highest raw fruit damage: Vessel (Sukuna) — if you accept the V cooldown and the price; it is the most expensive fruit in the shop, with Infinity second.
- Farming: the Flame fruit when it is in stock, plus the Dual Sword.
- Best free sword: the Dual Sword, which measured above a paid Dark Blade.
- Least effort: Future Trunks' Sword for 10,000 cash at the West Island shop.
