- New summon banner
- Summer Boss event
- Summer Party roguelike mode
- Treasure Chest system
- Unit Titles
- New Summer maps and cutscenes

All New Units in Summer Update 3
Several new characters have been added across different banners and game modes.
New Mythic Units
Players can obtain the following Mythic units during the event:
- Noel
- Grimmjow
- Megumin
- Doflamingo
- Jin Mori (Ascended)
New Secret Units
Summer Update 3 also includes several Secret characters:
- Ascended Ring Goku
- Ascended Kurami
- World Boss Janemba
- Treasure Chest Roger
Additional exclusive characters like Gogeta are also available through the event banner.
How to Unlock the New Units
Each new character comes from a different activity, so you’ll need to participate in multiple game modes if you want to complete your collection.
Most units can be obtained through:
- Event Banner summons
- Summer Boss rewards
- Treasure Chests
- Ascension Questlines
- World Bosses
Meanwhile, Ascended Ring Goku and Ascended Kurami require completing their dedicated questlines before they become available.
Summer Banner Explained
The Summer Banner introduces several exclusive rewards alongside Gogeta.
Featured rewards include:
- Gogeta
- Clock Queen
- Vampire Mask
- Secret Orbs
- Water Magician
- Ice Spider
- Flame Swordsman
- Megumin
- Various Chips and Upgrade Materials
Each summon costs 500 Summer Tokens, making token farming extremely important if you’re planning to pity the featured units.
Players should also disable automatic Mythic stopping once they’ve collected every Mythic if they’re planning to continue hunting shiny versions.
How to Beat the Summer Boss
The Summer Boss is currently one of the best sources of Summer Tokens.
Rewards include:
- Jin Mori
- Shiny Jin Mori
- Summer Tokens
- Gems
- Summer Treasure Chest (1% drop chance)
- Experience
The event also features rotating category buffs that change periodically, so bringing boosted units can significantly improve your clear speed.
Best Strategy
One of the strongest farming strategies currently revolves around Hashirama. Because his damage continuously increases throughout the fight while maintaining excellent survivability, he can eventually defeat the Summer Boss without requiring a full team.
Although the boss starts with millions of HP, Hashirama gradually scales until he’s capable of dealing massive damage, making him one of the safest choices for consistent farming. Depending on your build, solo clears can take under a minute.
Summer Event Shop Priorities
Summer Tokens can be exchanged for numerous rewards inside the event shop. Available purchases include:
- Janemba
- Demon Blade
- Grimmjow Evolution Item
- Mythril
- Gold
- Silver
- Secret Orbs
- Monkey King materials
What Should You Buy First?
If your goal is long-term progression, prioritize these rewards:
- Jin Mori
- Hashirama-related upgrades
- Evolution materials
- Limited event items
Secret Orbs are generally considered a lower priority compared to exclusive event rewards.
Summer Party Mode Explained & Rewards!
Summer Party is a brand-new roguelike game mode that offers a completely different gameplay experience from traditional stages. Instead of bringing your own team, you’ll begin each run with several random Legendary units. Every three waves you’ll receive:
- A random buff card
- A new unit selection
- Opportunities to replace existing teammates
- Revival choices for defeated characters
As you progress, enemies become increasingly difficult, requiring smart team-building decisions throughout the run. Unlike standard stages, every playthrough feels different because your available units and buffs are randomized.
Best Way to Farm Summer Tokens?
Many players consider Summer Party one of the fastest ways to earn Summer Tokens. While Summer Boss farming is reliable, Party Mode provides steady rewards while allowing players to collect additional resources throughout each run. If you’re mainly interested in farming banner currency, this mode is well worth repeating.
Summer Treasure Chests
Treasure Chests are another major feature introduced in the update. Opening these chests can reward players with:
- Gems
- Summer Coins
- Reroll Items
- Orbs
- Skins
- Exclusive rewards
- Secret Roger
Keep in mind that Secret Roger is an extremely rare reward, so don’t expect to obtain him quickly.
Unit Titles
Summer Update 3 also introduces the new Unit Title system. Titles grant exclusive bonuses to specific characters, allowing you to further strengthen individual units. As additional updates release, this system is expected to become another important progression mechanic for optimizing endgame teams.
Summer Update Codes
Several redeem codes were released alongside the update.
- Sorryfordelayagainagainx2
- Summer
- ANGELBORNINHELL 5,000 Summer Coins, 150 Premium Currency, and 1 Guaranteed Monarch Ticket
- TREASUREChest Active during the update (availability may vary by server)
Some additional codes shown during the update appeared to be inactive or unavailable shortly after release, so don’t be surprised if certain codes no longer work.
Summer Update 3 is one of the biggest content updates Anime Story 2 has received, introducing multiple progression systems alongside several powerful new characters. Between the Summer Boss, Party Mode, Treasure Chests, and the expanded summon banner, there are plenty of opportunities to earn limited rewards throughout the event. If you’re focusing on efficiency, prioritize farming Summer Tokens, complete the Summer Boss regularly, and spend your currency on exclusive units and evolution materials before the event comes to an end.
