Nami Golden Obsession Memoria Guide – Anime Vanguards Update 11

Update 11 in Anime Vanguards brought an important shift to the farming meta. While previous updates boosted units like Speedwagon and Takaroda, Nami slowly started falling behind in terms of raw income generation. Now, with her new Memorialia called Golden Obsession, she is back in serious consideration as a top-tier farming unit. This guide will break down how Golden Obsession works, how much income it actually adds, and whether Nami can compete again in the current economy meta.

What Is Golden Obsession in Anime Vanguards?

Golden Obsession is a Memorialia specifically designed to enhance Nami’s money generation. It comes with two key passives:

1. All That Glitters (Global Passive)

• Increases yen gain by 20%
• Works on any unit equipped with the Memorialia

This alone is already strong because it boosts total income across the board. Even without the second passive, a 20% yen gain increase makes a noticeable difference in long matches.

2. Treasure Hunter (Exclusive to Tempest Pirate – Nami)

• Every chest obtained increases the next chest’s yen value by 10%

This is where the scaling mechanic becomes interesting. Each chest Nami collects strengthens the next one, allowing her income to grow continuously over time.

Income Comparison: With vs Without Golden Obsession

Using similar setups, here is how Nami performs:

On Placement

• With Memorialia: ~1,000 yen income
• Without Memorialia: Just under 800 yen income

Upgrade Scaling

Upgrade Path Comparison

• Early upgrades: Around 1.2k vs 1k
• Mid upgrades: ~2.6k vs 2.1k
• Higher upgrades: ~4.1k vs 5k (varies depending on setup)
• Grade 4: 8.6k (with Memorialia) vs 7.1k (without)
• Final Upgrade: 12,000 vs 10,000

The difference becomes more noticeable as you reach later upgrade stages. The Memorialia version consistently generates more income at every level.

Infinite Chest Scaling Explained

The second passive is what gives Golden Obsession its true value.

Each time you collect a chest:

• The next chest gives 10% more yen
• The effect continues stacking as waves progress

For example:

• First chest: ~1.3k
• Next chest: Higher than 1.3k
• Next one: Even more

While the increase per chest is not massive on its own, over long matches this creates a steady upward income curve. The scaling does not cap quickly, which means the longer the game lasts, the more value Nami generates.

It is not explosive scaling like a damage unit, but it is consistent and reliable.

Best Setup for Nami Golden Obsession

To maximize her potential:

• Equip Golden Obsession Memorialia
• Use Fortune traits if possible
• Pair with additional income boosters (like Yuzu setups)
• Upgrade her early to benefit from long-term scaling

The earlier you place and upgrade her, the more value you get from chest stacking.

Is Nami Back in the Meta?

Before Update 11, Nami was overshadowed by Speedwagon and Takaroda. Golden Obsession changes that.

Strengths:

• 20% global yen gain
• Strong placement income
• Infinite chest scaling
• Reliable long-term economy

Weaknesses:

• Requires wave progression to fully scale
• Not a burst income farmer

Golden Obsession does not instantly make Nami the uncontested best farm unit, but it makes her competitive again. In longer modes or endurance runs, she can outperform expectations thanks to her scaling mechanic.

Golden Obsession is exactly the type of buff Nami needed. The 20% yen gain alone makes her viable, and the chest stacking mechanic rewards longer matches and smart farming strategies. If you stopped using Nami in previous updates, it may be time to reconsider her. With the right setup, she can once again secure a spot in your farming lineup in Anime Vanguards Update 11. For players focused on maximizing economy efficiency, Golden Obsession is absolutely worth testing.
