Anime vs Anime! Fighter Rarities: The Labels on Fighter Cards and Where to Read Them

Which rarity labels are actually documented on Anime vs Anime! fighter cards, where to read them during the pre-match draft, and why the tier order between labels is not documented.

Quick answer

The rarity labels documented on Anime vs Anime! fighter cards are MYTHIC, DIAMOND and COMMON, and the game's own description names SECRET as the far end of the rarity span. You read the label off each card itself as it flips during the pre-match draft. What no confirmed source documents is the tier order between those labels.

  • Rarity is read per card on the ROLLING YOUR FIGHTERS draft screen — on each card as it flips.
  • MYTHIC, DIAMOND and COMMON are documented as examples ('such as'), so the complete set of card labels is not established.
  • The only ordering statement any confirmed source makes is the game's own 'Summon 24 original fighters, from Common to Secret' — it names the two ends of the span but does not rank what sits between them.

Where you can read a fighter's rarity label

Rarity in Anime vs Anime! is printed on the fighter cards themselves, and the place you read it in normal play is the pre-match draft, on each card as it flips. When a fighter-versus-fighter match is about to start, a screen titled ROLLING YOUR FIGHTERS appears with the subtitle "Dealing 10 fighters from your collection", and the deal plays out like this:

  1. Start a fighter-versus-fighter match.
  2. Ten cards are dealt face down from your collection.
  3. Each card flips one by one — read the rarity label printed on it as it turns.
  4. A SKIP button is available during the sequence.

How the dealing screen works — where its cards come from and how it differs from opening packs — is covered in more detail on the fighter collection page.

The rarity labels documented so far

LabelWhere it is documentedWhat it establishes
MYTHICOn cards flipping in the draft screenA real printed label, recorded as one example among others
DIAMONDOn cards flipping in the draft screenA real printed label, recorded as one example among others
COMMONOn cards, and in the game's own descriptionA printed label and one end of the rarity span
SECRETIn the game's own descriptionThe other end of the span — "from Common to Secret"

Two things are worth knowing about that table. MYTHIC, DIAMOND and COMMON all appear on cards in the draft screen, but they are recorded as examples — the established wording is "such as MYTHIC, DIAMOND and COMMON" — so cards can carry labels the table does not include, and this is not a confirmed complete list. SECRET is documented differently: it comes from the game's listing text "Summon 24 original fighters, from Common to Secret", which names it as the far end of the rarity span.

Do not count the word "rare" as a missing label, either. The official experience page says "Open packs, unlock rare characters and build your dream team", but there "rare" is a generic promotional adjective — it is not evidence of a printed RARE label on fighter cards.

Why the tier order is not documented

The game's description does make one ordering statement: "Summon 24 original fighters, from Common to Secret". That phrase establishes COMMON and SECRET as the two ends of the rarity span. What it does not do — and what no confirmed source does — is rank the labels between those ends. There is no documented ladder saying where MYTHIC or DIAMOND sit relative to COMMON and SECRET, and that "from ... to ..." span is the only ordering claim any confirmed source makes.

So if you are trying to judge how strong a fighter is from its card, the supported reading is the span and the labels themselves — not a documented tier list.

Why the labels matter for your team

Fighters are a collected roster: the official description reads "Collect over 80 fighters, each with their own moves, ultimate and awakening. Open packs, unlock rare characters and build your dream team." Because fighters come out of packs, the rarity label is part of how the game presents your collection as it grows — and the same labels are visible again each match, when the draft deals ten fighters from that collection. The pack and summoning side is covered on the summoning guide, and the draft screen's own mechanics on the fighter collection page.
