Gappy is a powerful secret unit introduced in the Ascension Update for Anime Rangers X, inspired by the character from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: JoJolion. Acquiring and evolving him into Gappy (Go Beyond) is a key goal for players looking to add a top-tier DPS unit to their roster. This guide will walk you through exactly how to get him, complete his evolution, and build him for maximum effectiveness.
How to Get Gappy in Anime Rangers X
There are two primary methods to obtain the base Gappy unit. Both are tied to the new content from the Ascension Update.
Method 1: Farming the Ascension Event Stages
This is the most active method for obtaining Gappy.
The Boss: You will face the Vampire Emperor, a boss with 400B HP. While it has high health, its attacks are not particularly dangerous, making it relatively easy to defeat.
Drop Rate: Your chance of getting Gappy is directly tied to your clear time.
Completing the stage in under 100 seconds gives you the best drop rate, which is approximately 0.65%.
The drop rate decreases significantly if you take longer to clear the stage.
Increasing Your Chances: To achieve faster clear times and farm more efficiently, using units like Soul of Greed or Priest of Heaven (Ascended) is highly recommended.
Method 2: Opening Ascension Capsules
This is a more passive or luck-based method.
Drop Rate: Gappy has a 1% chance to drop from an Ascension Capsule.
How to Get Capsules: You can earn 1-6 Ascension Capsules as a reward for completing an Ascension Event stage. They can also be rarely dropped from the Wall of Infinite Eyes Ranger Stage.
How to Evolve Gappy: The Go Beyond Form
Evolving Gappy into his ultimate form, Gappy (Go Beyond), is a lengthy process that requires completing a specific bounty questline to obtain the evolution item, the Star Bubble.
The Bubble Plunderer Divine Trial Questline
You must complete all missions in this questline to receive the Star Bubble.
Fractured Horizon: Complete 200 Waves in the Wall of Infinite Eyes Ranger Stage.
Abyssal Surge: Deal 50B total Damage using Gappy. This can be accumulated over multiple runs.
Crown of Ascension: Complete the Ascension Event stage 100 times. You do not need to use Gappy for this mission.
Eclipse Verdict: Complete the Ascension Event 10 times with Gappy in your first party slot.
Vault of Eternity: Open 500 Ascension Capsules.
After completing all these missions, you will receive the Star Bubble. Go to the Upgrade Zone and speak with the Units Evolve NPC to evolve Gappy into Gappy (Go Beyond).
Gappy (Go Beyond) Skills and Best Build
Once evolved, Gappy becomes one of the strongest DPS units in the game, with a passive ability that allows his damage to scale infinitely over time.
Key Abilities
GO BEYOND!: Grants a stacking damage increase that has no upper limit, making him stronger the longer a battle lasts.
I am Two, not One: Launches an additional attack and reduces ability cooldown.
Plunder Bubble: Creates a copy of an enemy to fight for you, adding extra damage to the field.
Recommended Best Build
To maximize Gappy’s damage potential, use the following build:
Curses: -15% Ability Cooldown and +15% Damage.
Gear:
Head: Hair Curls
Body: Black Coat
Feet: Purple Boots or Black Shoes
Weapon: Aetherial Lance or Funny Revolver
This build focuses on increasing his damage output while reducing the cooldown of his powerful abilities, allowing him to use them more frequently.
FAQ
Q: What is the fastest way to get Gappy?
A: The fastest method is to repeatedly farm the Ascension Event with a team built for speed, aiming for clears under 100 seconds to maintain the 0.65% drop rate.
Q: Can I complete the evolution questline without having Gappy first?
A: Mostly, yes. Missions like “Fractured Horizon,” “Crown of Ascension,” and “Vault of Eternity” can be done before you own Gappy. However, “Abyssal Surge” and “Eclipse Verdict” require you to already have him.
Q: Is Gappy (Go Beyond) worth the grind?
A: Absolutely. His unique passive that grants infinite damage scaling makes him one of the most powerful and future-proof DPS units in the game, especially for long, endgame battles.
Q: Where can I get more Ascension Capsules?
A: Your primary source is farming the Ascension Event stage. You can also get them rarely from the Wall of Infinite Eyes Ranger Stage.
Conclusion
Gappy is a standout unit from the Ascension Update that is accessible to all players through dedicated farming. While obtaining his base form from the Ascension Event or Ascension Capsules requires some luck, the process is straightforward. The real challenge—and reward—lies in completing the Bubble Plunderer Divine Trial questline to earn the Star Bubble and evolve him. Once you unlock Gappy (Go Beyond) and equip him with the best build, you will have a premier DPS unit whose power can grow without limits, making him an invaluable asset for any team in Anime Rangers X.
