How to Get Rimuru in Anime Squadron: A Complete Guide

Unlocking Rimuru in Anime Squadron

In Anime Squadron, Rimuru is widely considered one of the most impactful units due to his unique passive abilities and significant buffing potential. Unlike standard units that might be summoned through basic banners, acquiring Rimuru requires a dedicated grind through the game’s late-game content, specifically the corrupted stages.

To begin your journey toward obtaining this unit, you should head to the corrupted stages. Community reports indicate that Rimuru is tied to these specific event-style missions, which often function similarly to previous game updates like the "City Event." Be prepared for a challenge; this is not a one-time drop but rather a process that involves completing a series of specific objectives.

Essential Quest Requirements

Once you have secured the base unit, you will notice that Rimuru is not at his full potential immediately. To evolve and maximize his effectiveness, you must complete a series of tasks. Based on recent player experiences, these tasks are designed to test your team's consistency.

1. Absorb Gimmicks: You are required to absorb 50 gimmicks. This is an active process that occurs during combat.
2. Damage Thresholds: Meet the required total damage output across your runs.
3. Resurrection Modifier: You must complete the corrupted stage 10 times with the "Second Resurrection" modifier active. This significantly increases the difficulty of the stage, so ensure your team is properly geared before attempting these runs.

Tip

If you find that the Resurrection modifier makes your clear times excessively long, experiment with your team composition. While the modifier is necessary for the quest, swapping out secondary units for higher DPS options can help mitigate the time penalty.

Maximizing Performance with Predator Passives

Rimuru’s strength lies in his "Predator" passive, which allows him to absorb and utilize gimmicks from the battlefield. Understanding how these mechanics interact is crucial for high-level play.

Passive Mechanics

• Gimmick Absorption: Every 30 seconds, Rimuru absorbs a random gimmick from his pool. He can hold up to three at once.
• Damage Scaling: Rimuru gains a 50% damage bonus for every gimmick held, capping at a 150% boost when he has three active.
• Devour Ability: When Rimuru kills an enemy, he "devours" them. His next attack deals 25% of that enemy's max HP as bonus damage. This does not trigger on missed hits, making accuracy and attack speed vital.

Recommended Team Compositions

Rimuru belongs to the "Protagonist" and "Unhuman" categories. To get the most out of him, you should pair him with other units that benefit from these tags or provide buffs to them.

Rebecca

A top-tier DPS unit in the current meta. Rimuru acts as an excellent buffer for her, making this duo a cornerstone of many high-damage teams.

David

Often used alongside Rebecca, David synergizes well with the Unhuman tag. Running a team focused on this category allows you to stack buffs efficiently.

When building your team, remember that Rimuru’s buffs are most effective when you click on the unit directly to view stats. Relying on the general lobby UI can sometimes lead to inaccurate readings of your current damage output, as it may not display active passive modifiers.

FAQ: Common Concerns

Is Rimuru still available to unlock?

Yes, Rimuru remains obtainable through the in-game corrupted stages as part of the current update cycle. Ensure you are playing the official version on the Anime Squadron Roblox page.

Why isn't my damage showing as high as expected?

Check your gear and modifiers. Rimuru’s damage scales significantly based on the number of gimmicks he has absorbed. Additionally, ensure you are viewing the unit’s stats directly rather than the team overview, as the UI may hide specific buff calculations.

What should I do after evolving Rimuru?

Focus on the Mastery ability. Every boss Rimuru kills contributes to his permanent gimmick pool, which carries over between games. This makes him progressively stronger the more you use him in boss-heavy modes.

Final Tips for Success

The grind for Rimuru can be time-consuming, but the reward is a unit that can potentially outperform staples like Ichigo in specific scenarios. If you are struggling with the clear times for the required 10 runs, focus on optimizing your gear sets first. Community members suggest that even minor adjustments to your gear—such as prioritizing crit rate or base damage—can shave off precious seconds during the corrupted stage runs.

Always keep an eye on the official Discord and game updates, as developers frequently adjust unit stats and quest requirements. As of the latest update, Rimuru is a must-have for any player looking to optimize their Unhuman-focused loadouts.
