The Summer Event has officially arrived in Anime Warriors 3, bringing a brand-new Summer Island packed with exclusive content, limited-time traits, new warriors, accessories, weapons, mounts, and several progression systems. While this is only Part 1 of the event, there is already plenty to grind.
If you’re wondering how to maximize your progress quickly, this guide covers everything you need to know.
How to Access the Summer Event
To begin, use the Travel menu and teleport to the new Summer Island.
This area serves as the central hub for all event activities, including:
- Summer Raid
- Shovel System
- Summer Traits
- Secret Boss
- Event Questline
- Summer Warriors
- Summer Weapons and Accessories
- Mount Rewards
Most of your progression will take place here.
Complete the Summer Questline First
One of the best starting points is the Summer questline.
The questline rewards players with:
- Three exclusive mounts
- Event currencies
- Additional progression resources
Since many later activities require event resources, completing these quests early gives a strong head start.
How the Shovel System Works
One of the biggest additions in the update is the Water Goddess digging system.
Step 1: Farm Shovels
Shovels are earned primarily through the Summer Raid.
The raid portal is located on Summer Island and should become your primary farming location.
Players can earn approximately:
- 4 to 6 Shovels per run
- More with increased drop bonuses
Step 2: Use Shovels at the Water Goddess
Shovels can be exchanged for random rewards through the digging system.
Possible rewards include:
- Summer Star Remnants
- Keys
- Summer Damage Boosts
- Summer Luck Boosts
- Various event materials
Higher tiers provide better rewards and larger quantities of resources.
Summer Star Remnants Explained
Summer Star Remnants are used to roll the new Summer-exclusive traits.
These traits are currently some of the strongest in the entire game and should be a major priority for endgame players.
All New Summer Traits
Solar
Solar is one of the best luck-focused traits in the event.
Benefits include:
- 0.6x Luck Bonus
- +1 Star
Solar stacks exceptionally well with Blessed units for maximum summoning efficiency.
Summer Spirit
Summer Spirit functions similarly to Second Wind but offers stronger bonuses.
Benefits include:
- Higher Damage
- More HP
- Improved overall survivability
For many units, Summer Spirit is a direct upgrade.
Sun God
Sun God is currently considered the strongest Summer trait.
Benefits include:
- 300% Damage
- 50% HP Bonus
- Burn Immunity
- Ultimate attacks deal Burn Damage
- Enemies take 15% increased damage
Compared to Supreme, Sun God offers significantly more offensive power.
The only drawback is its extremely low 0.05% roll rate.
Best Way to Farm Summer Star Remnants
The fastest methods are:
- Complete Summer Raids repeatedly.
- Earn Shovels.
- Spend Shovels at the Water Goddess.
- Convert rewards into Summer Star Remnants.
This loop is currently the most efficient trait farming method available.
Summer Weapons Guide
Unlike previous events, Summer Island uses its own progression system.
Important Restriction
Most normal pets and weapons do not function inside the Summer Event area.
Only Summer-specific equipment receives full benefits.
Best Raid Weapon
The strongest readily obtainable Summer weapon appears to be:
Cruel Sun Ice Cream Divine Axe
This weapon drops from the Summer Raid and is one of the best choices for event progression.
Summer Accessories
One of the notable accessory drops is:
Cruel Sun Mythical Accessory
Provides bonuses to:
- Luck
- Drops
However, its current scaling appears weaker than some existing endgame accessories, meaning many players may continue using older options outside the Summer world.
Summer Secret Boss Location
The Summer Secret Boss is one of the most important farms in the update.
How to Find It
From the Summer Island spawn:
- Turn right.
- Follow the island’s edge.
- Continue toward the outer island.
- Locate the Summer Secret Boss.
Why You Should Farm It
The boss offers:
- Sun Keys
- Shark Empress rewards
- Top-tier Summer equipment
- Secret unit progression materials
The boss has approximately 500 million HP, making group farming highly recommended.
New Secret Unit
The Summer Event introduces a new secret warrior, Yoichi.
Yoichi Stats
According to early showcases:
- Roughly 370 base damage in Summer World
- Nearly double damage in the normal world
This makes Yoichi one of the strongest event-exclusive units currently available.
Relics Work on Summer Units
One important detail many players miss is that regular relics still function on Summer units.
This means you can transfer powerful relics from your main team to significantly boost event progression.
High-end relics provide noticeable damage increases and can greatly speed up farming.
Summer Boosts vs Normal Boosts
Most normal boosts are disabled inside Summer Island.
This includes:
- Speed Potions
- Shiny Potions
- Standard Luck Boosts
Instead, players must use Summer-exclusive versions.
Summer Luck III
Provides:
- +4 Luck
This is actually stronger than the normal Omega Luck boost, making Summer boosts worth farming.
Event Collection Rewards
The update also adds:
- New Titles
- Collection Milestones
- Additional Summer Star Remnant rewards
While most titles are cosmetic, they provide easy progression rewards for active players.
Fastest Progression Route
If your goal is to max out the Summer Event as quickly as possible, follow this order:
Early Game
- Travel to Summer Island.
- Complete the Summer Questline.
- Unlock all mount rewards.
- Begin farming Summer Raids.
Mid Game
- Farm large amounts of Shovels.
- Spend Shovels at the Water Goddess.
- Collect Summer Star Remnants.
- Roll for Solar, Summer Spirit, or Sun God.
Late Game
- Farm the Summer Secret Boss.
- Obtain Shark Empress rewards.
- Unlock Yoichi.
- Farm Sun Keys.
- Upgrade Summer weapons and accessories.
The Summer Update introduces one of Anime Warriors 3’s largest event systems to date. The most important resources are Shovels, Summer Star Remnants, and Summer-exclusive traits, as these directly affect both progression speed and long-term account strength.
For most players, the ideal strategy is simple: farm Summer Raids nonstop, convert Shovels into Summer Star Remnants, and start chasing Solar or Sun God traits while simultaneously working toward the Secret Boss rewards. This progression path gives the fastest route to unlocking everything the Summer Event currently offers.
