The Secret Faction is one of the more interesting groups of units in Totally Accurate Battle Simulator. It is comprised of 37 individuals who are either the strongest members that used to belong to other groups or are so silly they don’t function well in battle.

Only a fool would underestimate this faction though, as it has some of the most powerful units in the game with devastating abilities. Though they may be a little quirky, these are the best units the Secret faction has to offer.
10 Gatling Gun
The Gatling Gun is a fast-firing weapon that gets faster the longer it fires. It doesn’t deal a lot of damageper bullet, but whensustained itadds up to decent damage. Its most useful feature is its ability to keep a single enemy stun locked with the knockback of each bullet. Even a horde of enemies will have a hard time coming to bear on the Gatling Gun.
That being said fast, units can overwhelm it thanks to the slowspin-up time. Anything with a shield also has a chance of getting in close enough to do damage. It’s a strong unit that does better with support in this simulation game.
9 Blackbeard
The legendary Blackbeard is an interesting fighter in TABS. Wielding two large anchors he’s easily one of the heaviest units in the game, making him all but immune to knockback. His main attack is a leaping slam that deals immense damage and knocks everything back.
His main weaknesses are a result of his slow movement speed when not leaping. Fast units that can dart in and out of combat have a shot. He also has a nasty habit of blowing himself up with his own bombs now and then. Still, he’s a juggernaut that ignores knockback, a handy ability.
8 Samurai Giant
The Samurai Giant is one of the four giants in the game, and easily the fastest. This large warrior is capable of deflecting projectiles and using backflips to attack enemies with AOE. Whatever connects with its katana is going to feel it.
It does have problems facing down the much stronger and more durable giants in the game. It can also become obsessed with its stomp attack rather than using its much more powerful katana. It’s a strong fighter, but not one that can be relied upon consistently enough to rank higher.
7 Ullr
Ullr the legendary Viking is a ranged unit with throwable axes. These axes, upon striking, will freeze the opponent and explodefor AOE damage, possibly freezing anyone caught in the radius. Ullr does really well against clustered units and can take down tough melee opponents.

This Viking warrior’s main weakness is that his enemies must be clustered together for freezing to do its thing. There are alsoplenty of enemies that can deflect his projectiles. When possessed he can take down a squad of Artemis, but if left to his own devices he’ll be riddled with arrows.
6 Lady Red Jade
Lady Red Jade has gotten much stronger thanks to the Unit Creator update. Before she could only spin in circles now and then, dealing damage with her weapon. Now she can also create small tornadoes to distract and harm enemies, and she can deflect projectiles.
While the updates have made this medieval warrior much more capable in combat, she struggles against tougher foes. Hordes in formation will fall to her very quickly, but spread out opponents can rally together and take her down.
5 Sensei
Once known as the Ninja Master, the Sensei can hurl shurikens at a blistering pace. Each shuriken has knockback and he’ll throw three at a time. Whether alone or in a group, the Sensei can keep enemies at bay and quickly chip away at their health.
Of course, the main weakness with the Sensei is other ranged units. Because the Sensei fights at midrange he’s vulnerable to ranged units outside of his range. But anything inside his range will quickly be riddled with shurikens.
4 Shogun
The Shogun is a master samurai that can dash forward and slice opponents with his katana. When attacked he’ll hop backward to get out of range and can deflect projectiles. The Shogun is very effective at disrupting shield formations, but it’s also one of the best at dueling tough singular opponents.
Unfortunately, the Shogun has low health and is very vulnerable to artillery units. A stronger opponent with lots of health and good ranged attacks can quickly put the Shogun down as well.
3 Tree Giant
The Tree Giant is a powerful melee unit thanks to its tree and size. Units who get too close will be pummeled by its strikes, and can be sent flying back when it slams the ground. It also is invulnerable to most melee strikes, making it a beast against hordes of melee units.

Still, it’s not the strongest giant in the game. It also has vulnerability to stubborn ranged units who can stay out of range. Because of its slow movement speed, it will struggle against anything fighting from a distance.
2 Ice Giant
The Ice Giant is the strongest Giant in the game and one of the most powerful Secret faction members. It can pummel units at a slight range thanks to its long arms and its breath can freeze entire squads that get too close. It also has one of the largest health pools in the game and towers above every other unit.
Like its Giant peers, it suffers from a slower movement speed. This makes it vulnerable to large armies of ranged warriors and Hwachas make its size a problem. It also has issues taking down Artemis if she’s too far away.
1 Artemis
Artemis is perhaps the most powerful member of the Secret faction. She also happens to be one of the most powerful units in the game. She fires a cluster of arrows with each shot that can knockback even shielded opponents. Her charged shot can push an entire army back.
While she can handle shield units, she’s still susceptible to a group of them. Fast charging units can also rush her before she gets her bow up, though it doesn’t happen often. In reality, it takes a large army with a clever strategy or the few units stronger than her, like the Dark Peasant.
