Anime Nexus RNG Garu: How to Unlock and Evolve

You obtain Garu in Anime Nexus RNG by reaching tier 100 of the Halloween Pass, and you place him on defense stages to defeat incoming enemy waves. Players evolve Garu into his Cosmic form through Merlyn in the lobby.

How Do You Unlock Garu in Anime Nexus RNG?

Garu (Hero Hunter) is a Secret rarity unit obtained at the final milestone of the event progression track. As documented on the official Anime Nexus RNG Units wiki, Garu does not come from the standard summon banners. You acquire him by accumulating 60,750 total Battle Pass experience points before the seasonal event concludes.

The Halloween pass provides two tracks for unlocking this character:

  1. Reaching Level 100 on the Free track rewards the standard Garu (Hero Hunter) unit.
  2. Reaching Level 100 on the Premium track awards an alternate edition for collectors seeking shiny units.

According to the official Battle Pass wiki documentation, you earn progression experience across multiple in-game activities:

  • Daily quest completion: 120 XP
  • Pumpkin Portal clears: 80 XP per portal tier
  • Hourly quest completion: 40 XP
  • Selecting curses in portal runs: 20 XP per curse
  • Catching ghosts: 15 XP
  • Knocking on Trick or Treat doors: 10 XP
  • Unit summoning: 3 XP per roll

How Do You Evolve Garu into Garu Cosmic?

Garu (Cosmic) is the upgraded form of Garu (Hero Hunter) created at the Merlyn crafting station in the main lobby. The unit evolution system requires you to train your base unit to level 60 before Merlyn allows the transformation.

Evolving Garu requires the base unit, level prerequisites, designated event currencies, and specific materials:

  • Unit level 60 on Garu (Hero Hunter)
  • 1 Monster Heart
  • 120 Ghost Souls
  • 900 Pumpkin Coins
  • 3 Clock Gears
  • 2 Cursed Keys
  • 1,000,000 Yen

Where Do You Farm Garu Evolution Materials?

The Monster Heart is an event item tied directly to Garu's deployment during runs. You obtain this item by completing Pumpkin Portals while keeping Garu placed on the active defense field. Each clear has a 10% chance to drop the Monster Heart, with a safety threshold guaranteeing the item by your 10th victory.

Other required materials come from specific activities across Halloween Island and seasonal game modes:

  • Clock Gears drop from tier III through tier V Pumpkin Portal wins with drop rates between 25% and 80%, from milestone chests every 20 floors in the Haunted Tower, and from the Pumpkin Shop for 60 Pumpkin Coins.
  • Cursed Keys drop behind trick-or-treat doors, from Halloween quest rewards, in the Haunted Tower between floors 30 and 180, and in the Pumpkin Shop for 150 Pumpkin Coins.
  • Ghost Souls drop from defeated portal enemies at a base rate of 5% on tier I with an additional 1% per portal tier, from catching wandering ghosts on the island, and from the Pumpkin Shop for 50 Pumpkin Coins.
  • Pumpkin Coins accumulate by knocking on island doors, defeating portal encounters, catching ghosts, and climbing Haunted Tower floors.
