The Summer Update introduced several powerful characters to Anime Story 2, but one unit has quickly become the dream pull for many players: Pirate King Roger. The normal version is already incredibly rare, while the Shiny Serialized version is on another level entirely.
After testing Roger with the Monarch Trait, it’s easy to see why so many players are calling him one of the strongest units in the game. His unique passives allow him to deal massive damage before enemies even get a chance to act, making him especially valuable for raids, towers, and speed farming.
Here’s everything you need to know about Shiny Serialized Pirate King Roger.
How to Get Pirate King Roger
Roger is obtained from the Summer Treasure Chest.
According to in-game rates:
- Pirate King Roger: 0.1% drop chance
- Shiny Version: Extremely rare (serialized copies are even rarer)
One of the best ways to obtain Summer Treasure Chests is by farming the Summer Boss, which has a chance to drop them after each successful clear.
Since the drop rates are very low, expect to open a large number of chests before pulling Roger.
Best Trait for Roger
For this showcase, Roger was equipped with:
- Monarch Trait
- Triple S Stats
This combination maximizes his Attack, which is especially important because both of his passive abilities scale directly with his damage.
If you’re lucky enough to pull Roger, Monarch is currently one of the best traits you can aim for.
Roger’s Stats
With Monarch and Triple S stats, Roger reached approximately:
- HP: 352,000
- DPS: Around 127,000
His base stats are already impressive, but it’s his passives that make him truly stand out.
Pirate King Roger’s Passive Skills
Roger has two incredibly powerful passive abilities.
Haki Wave
At the start of every round, Roger unleashes a Haki blast that damages all enemies for 40% of his Attack.
Because this activates before his normal attacks, it immediately weakens every enemy on the field and significantly speeds up wave clears.
Players familiar with the original Anime Story will notice that this functions similarly to Beerus’ opening attack, making Roger excellent for fast farming.
Devastating Haki Strike
Every second attack, Roger performs a powerful Haki strike that deals 150% Critical Damage.
Unlike a one-time effect, this passive activates repeatedly throughout battle, giving Roger extremely high sustained damage against bosses and tougher enemies.
Performance in Raids
Roger performs exceptionally well during raids thanks to his combination of:
- High Attack.
- Opening AoE damage.
- Repeating critical strikes.
While his opening attack doesn’t always one-shot stronger raid enemies, it removes a significant portion of their health before combat really begins.
His follow-up attacks quickly finish the job.
Tower Performance
One area where Roger truly shines is Tower Mode.
Because his passive activates at the very beginning of each wave, he dramatically reduces clear times.
Early Tower floors become much faster since many enemies are heavily damaged before they even act.
If your goal is climbing the Tower efficiently, Roger is one of the strongest options currently available.
Best Team Synergies
Roger benefits greatly from units that increase his damage output.
Some notable partners include:
Beerus
Beerus provides additional Dark-related buffs that further increase Roger’s already impressive damage.
Yummy
Yummy’s Captain-related buffs and critical support work particularly well with Roger’s passive, which revolves around critical damage.
Stacking these buffs allows Roger to hit even harder during his devastating Haki strikes.
Shiny Serialized Pirate King Roger easily lives up to the hype. His combination of an opening Haki blast, repeated critical strikes, and impressive base stats makes him one of the most powerful offensive units introduced in the Anime Story 2 Summer Update.
While pulling him from the Summer Treasure Chest will take plenty of luck, the reward is well worth the effort. Whether you’re pushing Tower floors, farming raids, or simply looking for one of the strongest endgame units available, Roger is an outstanding addition to almost any team.
