Anime Last Stand (ALS) has unleashed its massive Update 77, and it’s packed with content that reshapes the game’s meta. This update introduces a highly anticipated new Godly unit, a brutal new endgame trial, and fundamental new mechanics that every commander needs to understand.
This guide will break down everything you need to know about Anime Last Stand Update 77, from obtaining the powerful new Godly Simon to conquering the treacherous Spiral Trial.
What’s New in Anime Last Stand Update 77?
Update 77 is a significant content drop, focusing on expanding the “Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann” theme. The key additions include:
A new Godly unit: Simon (Tengen Toppa)
A new extreme game mode: The Spiral Trial
New Story and Legend stages in Kamina City
Five other new units and a set of skins
New mechanics: Enemy Shields and the Cosmic Element
Quality-of-life features like the Double Trait system
Spotlight: The New Godly Simon (Tengen Toppa)
The headline act of Update 77 is Simon, who arrives in two forms.
1. Base Unit (Ultimate): The base Simon unit is available through the new Update 77 banner. He is a powerful AoE (Area of Effect) dealer with impressive stats.
2. Godly Evolution: The base Simon can be evolved into his Godly form, Simon (Tengen Toppa). This evolution is not done through a typical quest but requires a special challenge.
How to Get Godly Simon
To obtain Godly Simon, you must complete the new Godly Trials mode. Successfully clearing this challenge will grant you the evolution material needed to ascend your Ultimate Simon to his Godly form.
Developer’s Note: The developers have also hinted at a permanent hidden interaction within the Godly Trials for players who manage to discover it, offering a unique reward for the most dedicated commanders.
Conquering the Spiral Trial
The Spiral Trial is the new pinnacle of challenge in ALS, designed to test even the most seasoned players. It’s not just a source for Simon’s evolution material but also a stage to earn other incredible rewards.
Spiral Trial Rewards
Evolution material for Godly Simon.
The new Anti-Spiral unit.
Evolution materials for the previous Simon unit from an earlier event.
Other valuable resources like Gems and Pearls.
Key Challenges in the Spiral Trial
Be prepared for a tough fight. The Spiral Trial introduces several brutal mechanics:
Nuke Damage Reduction: Your “nuking” units (those with massive one-hit abilities) will deal significantly reduced damage.
Anti-Spiral HP Drain: The Anti-Spiral enemy applies a constant HP drain effect on your units, making sustainability a priority.
Shielded Enemies: The new Shield mechanic is prevalent here.
Direct HP Attacks: Bosses in this mode have attacks that can directly target and reduce your unit’s HP, bypassing other defenses.
New Mechanics Explained: Shields and the Cosmic Element
Update 77 introduces two major gameplay mechanics that affect unit synergy and strategy.
Enemy Shields
Some enemies now spawn with a blue Shield bar above their health. This shield must be destroyed before you can damage their actual HP. Normal attacks will break the shield, but some units are specially equipped to handle this.
Soul Damage Sub-Type: A new damage sub-type, Soul, has been added. Units with Soul damage are highly effective at breaking through these enemy shields.
The Cosmic Element
A new elemental triangle has been established with the introduction of the Cosmic element.
Cosmic is strong against both Dark and Light elements.
It deals a massive 250% damage to units of those elements.
This makes Cosmic units incredibly valuable for countering the previously dominant Dark and Light meta, especially in specific endgame scenarios.
New Units, Skins, and Extreme Boost
Beyond Simon, Update 77 adds more firepower to your roster.
Five New Units: The banner includes other new characters to summon, expanding team-building options.
New Skins: A set of new skins is available, often tied to the new story and mechanics.
Extreme Boost System: This new system provides a significant, temporary power-up to your units, which is almost essential for tackling the hardest content like the Spiral Trial.
New Story Content & Farming Materials
The story continues in Kamina City with new Story and Legend stages. Replaying these stages is crucial for farming evolution materials for the new units. Key farmable materials include:
HM82
Earth
Preservation Tank
Spiral Essence
Grinding these stages is a core part of progressing and powering up your new units from this update.
