The Anime Vanguards Anniversary Update has introduced one of the most powerful and coveted secret units to date: DIO Over Heaven. This legendary character is the ultimate prize of the event, but obtaining him requires a specific two-step process. This guide will walk you through exactly how to summon the base unit and perform the evolution to unlock his full, reality-bending power.
How to Summon DIO from the Anniversary Banner
Your journey to get DIO Over Heaven begins with acquiring his base form, DIO.
Go to the Summon Area: From the main lobby, head to the Summon Area.
Select the Anniversary Limited Banner: Look for the special event banner, typically located on the left side of the screen. This banner features various event characters, with DIO Over Heaven himself visible in the background.
Perform Your Summons: DIO is a Secret Unit on this banner with an extremely low drop rate of 0.2%. This means you will need a substantial amount of Gems and Summon Tickets to have a chance at pulling him.
Important Note: This is a limited-time banner. It will disappear once the Anniversary event concludes, so prioritize your summons before it’s gone.
How to Evolve DIO into DIO Over Heaven
Simply summoning DIO is only half the battle. To unlock his true “Over Heaven” form, you must evolve him.
Go to the Event Area: Travel to the event section of the lobby.
Find the Anniversary & Summer Shop: Locate the NPC vendor for the Anniversary event.
Purchase the God’s Journal: Inside the Anniversary Shop, look for the key evolution item called God’s Journal. Buy it using the event’s currency, Cake Slices.
Use the Item: Once you have the God’s Journal in your inventory, use it on your standard DIO unit. This will instantly evolve him into the powerful DIO Over Heaven.
How to Farm Cake Slices for the God’s Journal
The God’s Journal is purchased with Cake Slices, the primary currency of the Anniversary event. Here’s how to farm them efficiently.
Play the Anniversary Dungeon: The main source of Cake Slices is the Anniversary Dungeon. Navigate to the Raid/Dungeon area and select “Dungeon: Anniversary.”
Progress Through the Acts: This dungeon consists of around nine to ten Acts with increasing difficulty. The first Act rewards roughly 1,500 Cake Slices, with later Acts offering even more.
Optimize Your Runs: For the fastest and most efficient farming, play with a full team. Using experience or drop rate boosts can also help you clear dungeons faster and maximize your yield.
Pro Tips for Getting DIO Over Heaven Faster
Focus Your Resources: Spend all your free Gems and Summon Tickets exclusively on the Anniversary Limited Banner to maximize your chances of pulling DIO.
Grind the Dungeon Daily: Make farming the Anniversary Dungeon a daily routine. Consistent grinding is the key to accumulating enough Cake Slices for the God’s Journal and other event items.
Buy the Journal Immediately: Once you have enough Cake Slices, purchase the God’s Journal as soon as you get DIO. Event shops can change, so don’t wait until the last minute.
Consider the Anniversary Bundle: For players with limited time, the premium Anniversary Bundle in the shop can provide a quick boost of Cake Slices to help you reach your goal faster.
