Anime Nexus RNG Steel Ball Run Waves and Rewards

Anime Nexus RNG Steel Ball Run is a 50-wave endgame race mode featuring one-second intervals between waves. Players defeat horse riders every ten waves, eliminate Funny Valentin at wave 50, and collect Saint's Corpse parts to recruit Ascendant Valentin.

How Does the Steel Ball Run Race Mode Work?

The Steel Ball Run race is a rapid endurance challenge that tasks players with clearing 50 continuous waves under strict timing constraints. Unlike standard story stages that provide planning phases, this mode limits the break between enemy waves to exactly one second.

Enemy composition shifts across specific wave thresholds:

• A dedicated race rider spawns as a boss encounter every 10 waves.
• Regular race waves yield Race Medals, an exclusive currency tracked in your inventory.
• Funny Valentin serves as the final boss at wave 50.

The game tracks and preserves your best clear time upon finishing wave 50. If you disconnect or change servers during a match, the game automatically reconnects you directly into your ongoing race run rather than kicking you back to your story stage, sharing the same session preservation system as the Titan Gauntlet.

What Rewards Drop from Steel Ball Run Clears?

Saint's Corpse parts are the primary clear drops earned by successfully defeating wave 50 in the race. Each finished run provides a 50% chance to drop one of the 9 individual corpse pieces.

Gathering all 9 parts unlocks Funny Valentin as an Ascendant unit, arriving with his signature D4C: Gap of Light ability and the full Saint's Corpse item. If a run drops a corpse piece that you already have in your collection, the duplicate piece automatically converts into Gems. Collecting all nine fragments also completes the Saint's Corpse achievement on the official Roblox game page and registers on the in-game badges tracker.

According to the official Anime Nexus RNG Update Log, Johnny Joestor also offers an associated 12-step questline in the lobby. Progressing through Johnny's tasks requires fighting race riders and defeating waves alongside Gyro Zepelli, eventually unlocking Tusk Act 4 along with 100 Trait Rerolls and the King Von Johnny Joestar skin.

Which Units Require Steel Ball Run for Evolution?

Task-based evolutions are specialized unit upgrades that require clearing specific race waves and meeting kill counts instead of spending Level, Yen, or Gems. You perform each unit evolution at Merlyn once all conditions are satisfied.

The table below outlines the evolution requirements tied directly to race performance:

Diego Brondo requires a completed race victory alongside the full Saint's Corpse item. Sondman requires wave 30 alongside the Native Feather from the Trial of the Silent Way, while Jotaru requires wave 40 alongside the Diary of Heaven.

What Can You Purchase in the Race Shop?

Funny Valentin's Race Shop is the designated store where players trade Race Medals earned during race waves for evolution materials, stat rerolls, and trait currency.

The Items catalog lists the full inventory available from Funny Valentin:

Buying the Saint's Corpse directly from Funny Valentin for 2,000 Race Medals allows players to obtain the evolution material without relying solely on the 50% drop rate from wave 50 clears. The Diary of Heaven sold for 1,500 Race Medals supplies the exact item needed to evolve Jotaru once his wave 40 condition is met.
