The Ascension Event in Anime Rangers X has dropped, and with it comes a wave of new challenges — and new rewards in the form of Ascension Capsules. If you’re looking to farm efficiently and get fast clear times, then this guide breaks down the current best team, the gear and curse setup, and the upgrade rotation to help you maximize your runs.
Let’s get straight into it.
Recommended Team for Ascension Event
This lineup focuses on high burst ability damage and cooldown-focused builds, ensuring your units get abilities out as quickly as possible to clear waves with precision.
Full Team:
- Crimson Eto (Main DPS)
- Griffin (Secondary DPS / Support Damage)
- Golden Wheel (Utility + Consistent DPS)
- Gilgamesh (Secondary DPS)
- Omega Dragon Lord (Splash & Utility)
- Primal Fusion (Support DPS / Utility)
Best Gear Setup (Unit-by-Unit Breakdown)
Each unit is equipped for ability spam and cooldown reduction, with specific artifacts focused on burst or utility scaling.
1. Crimson Eto
Role: Main DPS
Gear:
- Hell Curls
- Black Cloak
- Black Shoes
- Funny
- Soul of Pure
Build Note:
This is a pure minus cooldown and ability spam build. Eto’s skill output carries the run. You could try alternative DPS relics, but this setup is the most consistent right now.
2. Gilgamesh
Role: Burst DPS
Gear:
- Identical to Eto:
- Hell Curls
- Black Cloak
- Black Shoes
- Funny
- Soul of Pure
Build Note:
Gilgamesh is equally reliant on cooldown reduction to cycle his abilities faster. This build is considered meta for most Gilgamesh users.
3. Golden Wheel
Role: Sustained DPS / Utility
Gear:
- Hell Curls
- Wings of Valkyrie
- Black Shoes
- Ghoul Sword
- Soul of Fire
Build Note:
Golden Wheel gets the Soul of Fire here, giving it a stronger sustained presence. Slightly less burst-focused than Gilgamesh but fills an important mid-tier DPS role.
4. Griffin
Role: Flex DPS
Gear:
- Same as above, with a slight variation depending on your inventory
Build Note:
Griffin can surprise with decent damage output if built right. Even though he’s not your primary carry, investing in his gear helps smoothen overall wave clears.
5. Primal Fusion
Role: Utility DPS
Gear:
- Celestial Crown
- Finish Cloak
- Flippers
- Ghoul Sword
- Soul of Thunder Fury
Build Note:
Soul of Thunder Fury is used here since Soul of Fire was allocated to Golden Wheel. This unit supports wave clear while holding midline pressure.
6. Omega Dragon Lord
Role: Splash Damage / Utility
Gear:
- Goggles
- Flamingo Flippers
- Trident (can swap with Ghoul Sword)
- Swing Fury
Build Note:
This build hasn’t been updated recently, but still holds up well. You can experiment with swapping in a Ghoul Sword for better DPS scaling.
Curse Setup (Optimized Recommendations)
The curse system is extremely important for squeezing every bit of performance out of your team. Here’s the general rule:
Focus on -Ability Cooldown and +Ability Damage
Curses by Unit:
- Crimson Eto – -Ability Cooldown / +Ability Damage
- Gilgamesh – Same as Eto
- Golden Wheel – -Cooldown preferred
- Griffin – -Cooldown / Ability Damage
- Primal Fusion – -Cooldown
- Omega Dragon Lord – Ability Build / or -Cooldown
Note:
If you’re short on reroll currency, prioritize curses for Eto and Gilgamesh first since they carry most of the DPS load.
Strategy & Timing: How to Clear Fast
General Rule:
- Turn Auto-Upgrade ON for Crimson Eto and Gilgamesh
- Try this upgrade order for best times:
- First fully upgrade Eto
- Then max out Gilgamesh
This sequence optimizes early wave clear and reduces delay during boss phases.
Average Clear Time:
- ~143 seconds per run
(Times may vary slightly depending on RNG and unit positioning
While this guide uses a tested and reliable core, the creator mentions that new units might outperform in the future once properly built. However, until meta shifts or balance patches arrive, this lineup remains the most consistent and safe option.
The Ascension Event is all about fast clears and farming ascension capsules, and this team gives you both consistency and high skill uptime. If you’re missing certain gear or units, check the creator’s older build videos for alternatives that can substitute in.
Prioritize:
- Cooldown reduction
- Synergized gear per unit
- Smart upgrade timing
This team is built for one goal — fast, reliable clears of one of the game’s most important events right now.
