Hey there, fellow Anime Rangers X enthusiast! If you’re anything like me, you’ve been grinding away in the latest Ascension Update, trying to get your hands on the hottest new unit that’s taking the meta by storm. That’s right—I’m talking about Gappy, the Beyond-rarity unit that’s absolutely shredding the DPS charts right now.
When I first heard about Gappy, I’ll admit I was skeptical. Another unit to grind for? Another evolution questline to complete? But let me tell you, after spending countless hours testing him out and pushing through his Divine Trials, I can confidently say this guy is worth every bit of effort. So grab a snack, get comfortable, and let me walk you through everything you need to know about getting and evolving Gappy in Anime Rangers X.
Who is Gappy Anyway?
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of obtaining him, let’s talk about who Gappy actually is. If you’re a JoJo fan like me, you’ll recognize him as Josuke Higashikata from JoJolion, affectionately nicknamed “Gappy” by fans due to the gap in his teeth. In Anime Rangers X, he’s not just another pretty face—he’s currently the highest DPS unit in the entire game, and that’s saying something!
What makes Gappy so special? Well, it’s all about his unique passive abilities that allow him to stack damage infinitely. Unlike other DPS units that hit a ceiling, Gappy just keeps getting stronger and stronger the longer a fight goes on. When I first saw his damage numbers climb into the billions, I literally dropped my controller (well, my mouse, since we’re playing Roblox here).
How to Get Gappy The Two Main Methods?
Alright, let’s get to the good stuff—how do you actually get this beast of a unit? From my experience grinding and helping friends, there are two primary methods to obtain Gappy in Anime Rangers X.
Method 1: Ascension Event Stages
The first and most straightforward way to get Gappy is by completing Ascension Event stages. Here’s the deal: you’ll find the Ascension Event NPC right next to the spawn area in the main lobby. Can’t miss him—he’s usually surrounded by other players trying to figure out what’s going on.
In these event stages, you’ll face off against a Vampire Emperor with a whopping 400 billion HP. Now, don’t let that number intimidate you! The boss actually deals pretty low damage, so your units should be safe throughout the fight. The real challenge is optimizing your clear time because that directly affects Gappy’s drop rate.
Drop Rate Breakdown:
- Under 100 seconds clear time: ~0.65% drop chance
- Over 400 seconds clear time: ~0.05% drop chance
That’s a massive difference, right? When I first started, I was taking forever to clear these stages, and my drop rate was terrible. But once I optimized my team composition (more on that later), I started clearing in under 2 minutes consistently, and the drops started coming.
Pro Tips for Maximizing Drop Rates:
- Equip the Soul of Greed on one of your units for a 25% increased base drop chance
- If you’re really serious, use the Priest of Heaven (Ascended) for a whopping 100% increased base drop chance
- Focus on building a team that can clear quickly rather than tankily
Method 2: Ascension Capsules
The second method, and honestly my preferred one once you’re established, is opening Ascension Capsules. Each capsule has a 1% chance to drop Gappy, which might not sound great, but hear me out.
You can get Ascension Capsules in two ways:
- Clearing Ascension Event stages (1-6 capsules per stage)
- Completing the Wall of Infinite Eyes Ranger Stage (0.1% drop chance)
Now, I know what you’re thinking—”0.1% drop chance? That’s terrible!” But here’s the thing: if you’re already grinding Ascension Event stages for the direct Gappy drop, you’re accumulating capsules anyway. And since each capsule gives you a 1% shot at Gappy, it’s like getting bonus chances on top of your regular farming.
When I was going for Gappy, I ended up getting him from an Ascension Capsule after about 47 tries. Some of my guildmates got him in under 20 attempts, while others took over 100. That’s RNG for you, but statistically, you should get him within 50-100 capsules if you’re consistent.
The Evolution Process: From Gappy to Gappy (Go Beyond)
Okay, so you’ve finally got your hands on Gappy. Congratulations! But hold up—you’re not done yet. The real power comes from evolving him into Gappy (Go Beyond), and that’s where the real challenge begins.
The Star Bubble: Your Evolution Key
To evolve Gappy, you need only one item: the Star Bubble. Simple, right? Well, not exactly. The Star Bubble can only be obtained by completing the Bubble Plunderer Divine Trial bounty questline. This is a series of five challenging quests that will test your patience, your team composition, and your dedication to the game.
I remember when I first looked at these quests, I felt overwhelmed. But don’t worry—I’ve completed all of them, and I’m going to share exactly how I did it.
The Bubble Plunderer Divine Trial Quests
Let’s break down each quest in the Bubble Plunderer Divine Trial:
| Bounty Quest | Requirements | My Completion Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Fractured Horizon | Clear 200 Waves in the Wall of Infinite Eyes Infinite game mode | You don’t have to do this all at once! I did about 50 waves at a time across four sessions. Bring your best AoE units and just chip away at it. |
| Abyssal Surge | Deal 50,000,000,000 Damage with Gappy | This one’s tricky. Only damage from Gappy’s attacks counts. I used gears that lower his attack cooldown and brought meta support units. The test area is perfect for this—just let Gappy solo and watch the damage pile up. |
| Crown of Ascension | Clear Ascension Event 100 times | The good news? You don’t need Gappy equipped for this. I just used my regular speed-clear team and knocked this out while farming for capsules. |
| Eclipse Verdict | Clear Ascension Event 10 Times with Gappy | Here’s the catch: Gappy MUST be in the first slot. I replaced my weakest support with Gappy to keep clear times low. It’s slower, but it’s necessary. |
| Vault of Eternity | Open 500 Ascension Capsules | This is the grindiest one. Just keep running Ascension Event stages until you get 500 capsules. Pro tip: Soul of Greed and Priest of Heaven don’t increase capsule drops, so don’t bother equipping them for this quest. |
My Personal Tips for Each Quest
Fractured Horizon: Don’t try to be a hero here. The Wall of Infinite Eyes is designed to be a marathon, not a sprint. I found that doing 40-50 waves per session was the sweet spot—long enough to make progress but short enough to avoid burnout. Bring units with good AoE and survivability.
Abyssal Surge: This quest taught me the importance of proper gearing for Gappy. I initially struggled until I equipped him with cooldown reduction gears and brought supports that could buff his damage. The test area became my best friend here—I could just let Gappy attack a training dummy while I watched Netflix.
Crown of Ascension: Honestly, this quest completes itself if you’re actively playing. By the time I finished the other quests, I was already at about 80 clears just from regular farming. Just stay consistent and it’ll be done before you know it.
Eclipse Verdict: This was probably the most annoying quest for me. Having to bring Gappy in my first slot meant my clear times went from 90 seconds to about 3 minutes. But it’s necessary for the quest progression. Just grit your teeth and get through it.
Vault of Eternity: 500 capsules sounds like a lot, and it is! But remember, you’re getting capsules from regular Ascension Event clears anyway. I focused on this quest last, and by the time I got to it, I already had about 300 capsules from normal farming.
Gappy (Go Beyond): The Evolution Stats and Abilities
Once you’ve completed all five quests and obtained your Star Bubble, head over to the Upgrade Zone and talk to the Units Evolve NPC. Evolve Gappy, and prepare to be amazed!
Base Stats Comparison
Gappy (Go Beyond) has base stats comparable to other meta DPS units like Gilgamesh, Shadow Monarch, and Crimson Owl. But where he really shines is in his unique passive abilities that allow for infinite damage scaling.
The Passive Abilities That Break the Game
Let me break down Gappy’s insane passive abilities:
Passive 1 — GO BEYOND!:
- Starts at Stage 1
- Stages persist after death once unlocked
- Each new Stage retains buffs from previous stages
Beyond Stage 1:
- Alternates between applying Chained and Explosion on every hit
- 5% chance to advance to Stage 2 when both effects are applied
- Chained: Stuns enemies for 15s and slows them by 80%
- Explosion: Next attack deals +150% Damage
Beyond Stage 2:
- When Chained or Explosion activates, deals 300% Damage to all enemies in range
- Gains permanent +5% Damage buff (no cap!)
- 5% chance to advance to Stage 3 when dealing damage
Beyond Stage 3:
- All attacks apply Bubbled
- Every 5 Bubbled applications, steal 2.5% Damage from the highest-damaging enemy
- Bubbled: Enemy slowed by 90% and takes +33% Damage
Passive 2 — I am Two, not One:
- After attacking, may continue attacking with decreasing probability
- First follow-up: 100% chance
- Each successive attack: -5% chance
- When an attack misses, reduce Attack Cooldown and Ability Cooldown by 9%
Passive 3 — Plunder Bubble:
- Every 10 Abilities, summon an enemy copy with same stats as last defeated enemy
- Each summon on field increases summon damage by +55.5%
Passive 4 — Soft and Wet:
- 33% Range Increase on all Plunder Bubbles
Passive 5 — I See All:
- For every +2 Range above 50, increase Damage by +0.5% and Summon HP by +0.5%
- No cap on this bonus!
When I first saw these abilities, I couldn’t believe my eyes. The potential for infinite damage scaling is just insane. I’ve seen Gappy reach damage numbers that make other top-tier units look like wet noodles.
The Best Gappy Build: Maximizing Your DPS
Now that you have Gappy (Go Beyond), you’ll want to build him properly to maximize his insane damage potential. After testing dozens of different setups, here’s what I’ve found works best:
Optimal Curse Combo
- -15% Ability Cooldown
- +15% Damage
This combination gives you the best balance between damage output and ability frequency, which is crucial for Gappy since his damage scaling depends on activating his abilities consistently.
Best Gear Setup
- Hair Curls – Great for ability cooldown reduction
- Black Coat – Provides solid damage boosts
- Purple Boots/Black Shoes – Movement speed and cooldown reduction
- Aetherial Lance/Funny Revolver – Both excellent for damage output
Soul Choices
Depending on how low your Gappy’s Ability Cooldown already is, you have two options:
- Soul of Agony – If you need more cooldown reduction
- Soul of Cyclops – If you’re already capped on cooldown and need more damage
I personally run Soul of Agony because I find that getting Gappy’s abilities off as quickly as possible is more important than raw damage numbers, especially in longer fights where his scaling really kicks in.
Best Teams for Ascension Event (While Farming for Gappy)
Since you’ll be spending a lot of time in Ascension Event stages, whether you’re farming for Gappy directly or for capsules, you’ll want an optimized team. Here are the best team compositions I’ve found:
Meta Team (If You Have These Units)
- Griffith – Amazing support with incredible buffs
- Omega Dragonlord – Solid damage and utility
- Primal Fusion – Great for debuffing enemies
- Vampire Emperor – Excellent DPS and crowd control
- Gilgamesh – Your main damage dealer until you get Gappy
Budget-Friendly Team
- Eto – Good all-around support
- Griffin – Solid buffs and utility
- Golden Wheel – Great for early game damage
- Gilgamesh – Still your main DPS
- Omega Dragon Lord – If you have him, otherwise substitute with another strong unit
When I was first starting out, I used a variation of the budget team and managed to get clear times under 2 minutes consistently. The key is to focus on units that can buff your main damage dealer while providing some crowd control.
Common Questions and Troubleshooting
After helping dozens of guild members get their own Gappy, I’ve noticed some common questions and issues that keep coming up. Let me address them here:
Why isn’t my Eclipse Verdict quest progressing?
This is probably the most common issue I see. Remember, Gappy MUST be in the first slot for the clears to count. I made this mistake myself and wasted about 5 runs before realizing what was wrong. Also, make sure you’re clearing the regular Ascension Event, not some other mode.
What’s the fastest way to complete the 200 waves quest?
Don’t try to do it all at once! I learned this the hard way after burning myself out on a 4-hour grinding session. Instead, do 40-50 waves at a time, take a break, and come back later. The progress saves, so there’s no need to marathon it.
How important are the support units for Gappy’s damage quest?
Incredibly important! When I first tried the 50 billion damage quest, I was using subpar supports and it was taking forever. Once I switched to proper meta supports that could buff Gappy’s damage and reduce his cooldowns, I completed it in a fraction of the time.
Is Gappy worth the grind compared to other units?
Absolutely. I have nearly all the meta units in the game, and Gappy outperforms them all in extended fights. While some units might have higher burst damage, Gappy’s infinite scaling makes him the best choice for raids, infinite modes, and any content that lasts more than a couple of minutes.
Should I prioritize getting Gappy or evolving other units first?
This depends on your current roster. If you already have solid evolved units, I’d recommend going for Gappy immediately. However, if you’re still missing basic evolved units, you might want to get those first to make the farming process easier.
Advanced Tips and Strategies
For those of you who are really serious about optimizing your Gappy experience, here are some advanced tips I’ve picked up:
Ability Timing Matters
Gappy’s abilities are more than just damage sources—they’re key to advancing his stages. I’ve found that timing his ability usage to maximize the chances of triggering his stage advancements can significantly speed up his scaling process.
Positioning is Everything
Thanks to his range bonuses from the “I See All” passive, positioning Gappy properly can make a huge difference. I like to place him in spots where he can hit as many enemies as possible while still being safe from damage.
Save Your Resources
Don’t waste your best gears and souls on other units once you decide to go for Gappy. I made this mistake early on and had to grind extra resources to properly build him. Plan ahead and save your best stuff for when you finally get him.
The Future of Gappy in the Meta
Based on what I’ve seen and the current state of the game, I believe Gappy will remain a top-tier unit for quite some time. His unique infinite scaling mechanic is something that can’t be easily replicated, and as new content gets released with longer and more challenging fights, his value will only increase.
I’ve already started seeing Gappy become a staple in high-level raid teams and infinite mode clears. If you’re serious about competing in leaderboards or tackling the hardest content in the game, getting and evolving Gappy should be one of your top priorities.
FAQ Section:
How long does it take to get Gappy on average?
From my experience and helping guild members, most people get Gappy within 1-2 weeks of consistent farming. Some get lucky and get him in a few days, while others might take 3-4 weeks. It really comes down to your drop rates and how much time you can put in.
Can you complete Gappy’s Divine Trials without having him evolved first?
Yes, you can complete all the Divine Trials with the base version of Gappy. In fact, you need to complete them before you can evolve him. The evolved version is the reward for finishing the questline.
What’s the best way to farm Ascension Capsules efficiently?
The most efficient method is to run Ascension Event stages with a team that can clear in under 2 minutes. This gives you both the direct Gappy drop chance and 1-6 capsules per run. Focus on speed rather than tankiness.
Does Gappy work well in all game modes?
Gappy excels in extended fights like raids, infinite modes, and boss battles. He’s less effective in very short fights where he doesn’t have time to scale up. For quick clears, you might want to use burst damage units instead.
How does Gappy compare to other Beyond-rarity units?
As of now, Gappy is considered one of the best, if not THE best Beyond-rarity unit due to his infinite scaling potential. While other Beyond units have their strengths, Gappy’s ability to infinitely increase his damage makes him stand out from the crowd.
Final Thoughts
Getting and evolving Gappy in Anime Rangers X is definitely a grind, but I promise you—it’s worth every minute. The feeling of watching his damage numbers climb higher and higher, eventually reaching levels that make other units look like toys, is absolutely incredible.
Remember to take breaks, don’t get discouraged by bad RNG, and focus on enjoying the journey. The Ascension Update has brought some amazing content to the game, and Gappy is just the beginning of what’s possible with the Beyond rarity.
