The explosive One-Punch Man update has arrived in Anime Guardians, bringing the formidable alien conqueror, Boros, to the game. As a craftable unit with an incredibly powerful evolution, Boros has quickly become a top priority for players. This guide will walk you through exactly how to obtain him, the materials needed for his evolution, and efficient farming strategies to add this S-Class threat to your roster.
How to Get Boros in Anime Guardians
Unlike typical units acquired through summons, Boros is obtained exclusively through a specific crafting recipe.
Step 1: Locate the Crafting NPC
You need to find Whis, who acts as the crafting vendor for the One-Punch Man collaboration units. He is typically located in the main hub area.
Step 2: Gather the Crafting Materials
To craft Boros, you will need the following materials. All of these are obtained from the new One-Punch Man game mode:
30x OPM Insignias
15x OPM Cores
10x Cosmic Energy Cubes
Once you have collected all the required materials, interact with Whis and select the Boros recipe to craft him.
Boros EVO Evolution: Materials and How to Unlock
The base Boros is strong, but his true potential is unlocked through his evolution, Boros EVO. This form unleashes his full power, making him one of the most devastating units in the game.
To evolve Boros into Boros EVO, you must collect another set of rare materials, again, exclusively from the One-Punch Man game mode:
50x OPM Insignias
25x OPM Cores
20x Cosmic Energy Cubes
5x Meteoric Burst Fragments
Return to Whis with your base Boros and these materials to perform the evolution.
Farming Guide: Best Way to Get Boros Materials
The primary challenge in obtaining Boros and his EVO form is farming the necessary materials, as they have a low drop rate.
1. Run the One-Punch Man Game Mode: This is the only source for all the required materials (OPM Insignias, OPM Cores, Cosmic Energy Cubes, and Meteoric Burst Fragments). Be prepared to run this stage many times, as it can take 30+ runs or more to gather everything.
2. Optimize Your Farming Loadout:
Use Early Wave Boosters: Units that provide a starting wave boost are invaluable for speeding up your runs.
Select ‘Super Fast Waves’: If the option is available, always enable it to complete stages faster.
Bring Strong Early-Game & AoE Units: Use reliable, fast-clearing units like Robin, Senku, Bulma, or any top-tier Area-of-Effect (AoE) damage dealer to wipe waves quickly.
Maximize Upgrades: Ensure your main damage dealers are fully upgraded to clear the stage as efficiently as possible.
Note: The grind is intentional and can be lengthy. Persistence is key.
Why Boros EVO is Worth the Grind
Boros EVO is not just a strong unit; he is a meta-defining powerhouse. Here’s why he justifies the extensive farming:
Massive Damage Output: He can deal over 19 million damage every 3 seconds.
Full-Map Ultimate: His ability can wipe the entire screen of enemies.
Devastating Passives:
Cosmic Overcharge: Upon reaching full energy, his damage is increased by 300% for 20 seconds.
Boss Killer: Deals an additional 144% damage to bosses.
Tournament Bonus: Receives extra stats in tournament stages.
A level 100 Boros EVO with maxed stats is capable of decimating bosses and can nearly solo stages, making him one of the best investments for end-game content.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I summon Boros from a banner?
A: No. Boros is only obtainable through crafting at the Whis NPC. The limited-time One-Punch Man banner features other units like Tatsumaki.
Q: What is the drop rate for the Meteoric Burst Fragment?
A: Official drop rates aren’t published, but community reports indicate it is very low, often the last material players acquire.
Q: Is there a faster way to farm the materials?
A: The most efficient method is to optimize your run speed with the tips above. The use of macros or automation tools is against the game’s terms of service and is not recommended.
Q: What is the Boros Ultima Trait?
A: The Ultima Trait is a separate, ultra-rare upgrade with a very low chance (e.g., 0.01%) to apply. It provides a significant stat boost but is not required to evolve Boros.
Conclusion
Acquiring and evolving Boros in Anime Guardians is a significant undertaking that requires dedication and patience. By consistently farming the One-Punch Man game mode and optimizing your runs for speed, you will gather the necessary OPM Insignias, Cores, Cosmic Energy Cubes, and Meteoric Burst Fragments. The effort is immensely rewarding, as Boros EVO stands as one of the most powerful units in the game, capable of carrying you through the toughest content. Gear up, dive into the grind, and unleash the power of the Dominator of the Universe.
