6 New Unit Anime Reborn Chimera Update Guide, How to Get & Passive Explanation

The Chimera update in Anime Reborn introduces six powerful new units inspired by the Hunter x Hunter universe. Each character comes with unique passive abilities that make them highly valuable in both PvE and PvP modes. In this guide, we’ll break down how to unlock each unit and explain their passive effects so you can decide which ones to prioritize for your team.

How to Get the New Chimera Units

The six new characters are split into two groups based on how you obtain them:

Raid Exclusive Units

You’ll need to participate in raid battles to unlock the following three:

• Meruem

• Feitan

• Netero

These units are typically tougher to unlock but come with high-end passive abilities that scale well with late-game content.

Banner Units

The other three can be acquired from the summoning banner:

• Kurapika

• Gon

• Chrollo

These characters are easier to get through regular gacha pulls and still offer impressive passives for their accessibility.

Passive Abilities Overview

Meruem

• Royale Execution: 15% chance to instantly devour enemies below 20% HP. Increases Meruem’s damage and range by 15% while reducing SPA by 5s for 10s (25s cooldown).

• Genetic Perfection: Gains 1% crit chance every 10 kills, up to 20%. At max stacks, critical damage increases by 20%.

Why it’s strong: Meruem is a top-tier boss killer with scaling crit potential and solid survivability.

Feitan

• Rising Sun: Applies Burn effect to enemies. If already burning, increases Feitan’s damage by up to 10%.

• Solar Inferno: Allies in range deal 30% more DoT damage. Each fire-type unit nearby adds another 15%, up to 75%.

Why it’s strong: Feitan shines in burn/DoT-focused team comps, boosting team DPS considerably.

Netero

• The Human Heart: Buffs nearby Light units with +15% damage and +10% crit chance. Gains more bonus (up to +16% damage and +12% crit) for each Light unit in range.

• Divine Enlightenment: Gains 1% damage per enemy defeated, up to 15%. Once maxed, SPA is reduced by 5% permanently.

Why it’s strong: Netero supports Light comps with massive buffs and snowball damage scaling.

Kurapika

• Scarlet Retribution: Deals 50% extra damage to bosses and stuns every 15 hits (5s cooldown), but only when a boss is on the map.

• Chain Prison: Gains 1% range for every stunned enemy killed (up to 15%). At max, every 5th hit stuns for 2s (5s cooldown).

Why it’s strong: Kurapika is great for boss fights and control-based gameplay thanks to his double stun mechanics.

Gon

• Reckless Courage: Cannot be stunned if no allies are within his range.

• Jajanken Mastery: Alternates abilities each wave:

  • Rock: +15% damage, +10% crit

  • Paper: +20% range, -5% damage

  • Scissors: +7.5% SPA, -5% damage

• Ultimate Resolve: Deals 300% extra damage to bosses.

Why it’s strong: Gon brings huge burst damage against bosses and adapts his style every round, making him versatile.

Chrollo

• Bandit’s Secret: Gains +3% damage for each ally in range (up to 15%), but loses the buff if more than 5 units are nearby.

• My Gallery: Summons a clone every 10 seconds that deals 150% of Chrollo’s damage.

• Double Face: 25% chance to deal 50% more damage on every hit.

Why it’s strong: Chrollo is a great all-rounder with consistent burst from clones and high damage variance.

The Chimera update adds a lot of variety to Anime Reborn, especially with the blend of raid-exclusive and banner units. Whether you’re grinding raids or saving gems for the banner, each of these characters offers powerful passives that can change how you approach each wave or boss fight.

If you’re aiming for raw damage, Gon and Meruem are top picks. For support and utility, Netero and Feitan shine. And if control is your game, Kurapika and Chrollo offer unique stun and clone mechanics worth building around. Choose wisely based on your team comp—and good luck summoning or raiding for them!
