Anime Nexus RNG Pumpkin Portals: Tiers and Rewards

Anime Nexus RNG Pumpkin Portals are roguelike dungeon runs spanning tiers I through V that players clear solo or in four-player co-op. Each completed run awards portal keys, Halloween Candy, and exclusive evolution materials while letting teams gamble on seven difficulty Hexes.

How Do Pumpkin Portals Function in Anime Nexus RNG?

Pumpkin Portals are instanced roguelike challenges started from a player's inventory or the central portal area on Halloween Island. According to the official Anime Nexus RNG Wiki modes guide, each run gives participants three lives to survive progressive enemy waves while selecting modifier cards every three rounds.

A NEW roguelike mode: Pumpkin Portals I to V, alone or in CO-OP up to 4 players — Anime Nexus RNG update log

Parties can enter with up to four members, scaling enemy health based on group size:

  • Two players: enemy health increases by 20% (x1.2 multiplier)
  • Three players: enemy health increases by 50% (x1.5 multiplier)
  • Four players: enemy health increases by 100% (x2.0 multiplier)

Entering a portal requires using an active portal key from the bag or claiming two free Tier I entries provided daily at the plaza. Every successful clear refunds a portal of the exact same tier, while offering a percentage chance to receive an upgraded portal key for the subsequent difficulty rank:

  1. Clear a Tier I portal to secure a 45% drop chance for a Tier II key.
  2. Complete a Tier II portal to receive a 30% drop chance for a Tier III key.
  3. Finish a Tier III portal to obtain a 20% drop chance for a Tier IV key.
  4. Win a Tier IV portal to earn a 10% drop chance for a Tier V key.
  5. Finish a Tier V portal for a 3% drop chance to unlock the secret Phantom Portal VI, which is guaranteed on the 30th victory.

During the match, players can locate and open five Pumpkin Locks to activate the portal mini-game bonus, granting an additional x1.05 multiplier to all earned Halloween Candy and Pumpkin Coins for that session.

Which Rewards and Evolution Items Drop from Portal Tiers?

Portal rewards are tier-scaled drops that provide seasonal currency, evolution catalysts, and Halloween relics. Higher tiers drop larger volumes of standard materials alongside increased chances for rare boss drops. Clearing any portal also awards 80 battle pass experience toward the Halloween pass for every tier level completed.

Tier IIScaled payoutScaled payout2 to 4Scaled chance
Tier IIIScaled payoutScaled payout3 to 5Scaled chance
Tier IVScaled payoutScaled payout4 to 6Scaled chance
Tier V7201446 to 86.0%

Defeating monsters inside portals provides a chance to harvest Ghost Souls, beginning at a 5% drop rate in Tier I and increasing by 1% per tier. Tiers III through V also award Clock Gears at rates ranging from 25% to 80% on successful runs.

Fielding specific seasonal units during a portal clear triggers dedicated unit evolution drops at a 10% rate, guaranteed by the 10th win:

  • Deploying Frieran yields the Ancient Grimoire.
  • Deploying Asto (Devil Union) yields the Five-Leaf Grimoire.
  • Deploying Shinjo yields the S2 Engine.
  • Deploying Nezoko yields the Bamboo Muzzle.
  • Deploying Shinobo yields the Golden Donut.
  • Deploying Lighto yields Kira's Death Note.
  • Deploying Ryuka yields the Life Fiber Spool.
  • Deploying Garu yields the Monster Heart.
  • Deploying Yora yields the Rose Stiletto.
  • Deploying Moma yields the Spirit Talisman.
  • Deploying Deth the Kidd yields the Symmetry Seal.
  • Deploying Okaron yields Turbo Granny's Mask.

Tier V clears feature special item opportunities. Completing Tier V with Kokushibu on the field grants a 35% chance to obtain the Broken Flute, guaranteed on the third win. Clearing Tier V with Kokushibu (Moon Breathing) awards the Demon Moon Eye at the same rate. Tier V also features a 3% chance to drop Zaphkiel's Pistols, guaranteed on the 30th victory, which are required for Kurumy to reach her final form.

How Should Players Select Modifiers in the Hex Decision Matrix?

Hexes are optional difficulty modifiers chosen before entering a portal run to boost payout. Selecting each individual Hex adds +15% to stage rewards and awards 20 bonus pass experience, allowing teams to balance enemy buffs against their squad strengths.

Hex ModifierTactical FitMatch Penalty
Blood MoonArea-of-effect compositions with high total DPSEnemies have 40% more Health
Wraith RageDefensive setups that eliminate foes from rangeEnemies deal 40% more damage
Restless DeadTeams with heavy slow and time-stop utilityEnemies move 20% faster

Dread FogHigh base-speed or cooldown-dependent unitsPlayer units attack 15% slower
Grave LordsHigh single-target burst teams targeting wave 30Bosses have 60% more Health

Completing a Tier IV or Tier V portal with at least two active Hexes fulfills the Night of Terror quest requirement, granting Zafkiel's Second Hand.

What Strategies Clear Higher Tier Pumpkin Portals?

Wave progression demands strict unit positioning and active ability timing to handle high-tier mob scaling. As shown on the official Anime Nexus RNG Roblox page, runs peak at wave 30 where multi-phase bosses spawn.

The wave 30 encounter begins with a front-line Pyro entity paired with boss monsters reaching tens of billions in total health pools depending on chosen Hexes. Once the initial entity falls, the second-phase Sukuno boss enters with 16 million health. Placing buffer units such as Idols raises damage output above 3 million per strike on high-tier units, while automated subskills trigger crowd control effects.

Unstoppable portal enemies appearing in Tier III and higher ignore standard stun effects. Teams counter these waves by combining raw area attack powers with distance-based damage amplifications, such as Kurumy's City of Devouring Time passive which increases damage taken by targets up to 30% as they move through her range. Selecting supportive buff cards every three waves ensures damage scaling keeps pace with late-stage modifier boosts.
