Megumin is a new Secret unit introduced in Anime Adventures Update 21. Unlike units you can obtain directly from summoning, Megumin is tied to the Summer Event Hunt and its Secret Portal reward.
To get her, you need to prepare a strong team, clear the event’s 50-wave challenge, obtain the Secret Portal, and complete that portal for a chance to unlock her. Because the event takes time, having a good team and using your resources efficiently is important.
How to Get Megumin in Anime Adventures – new Secret unit
The process has two main stages: completing the Summer Event Hunt and clearing the Secret Portal.
- Open the Summer Event Hunt and prepare your team.
- Complete the 50-wave challenge.
- Check your rewards for the Secret Portal drop.
- If you obtain the Secret Portal, enter it and complete the encounter.
- Claim your rewards and check whether Megumin has been unlocked.
Remember: Clearing the 50 waves does not automatically award Megumin. You first need to obtain the Secret Portal, and then complete it for a chance to get her.
Preparing for the Summer Event Hunt
Before entering, build a team around the units that benefit most from the event’s damage bonuses. These bonuses can make a major difference during the later waves, when enemies become harder to defeat.
Recommended units
- Golden King: A strong damage dealer that receives a large event damage bonus. Use him as one of your main attackers.
- Homera: Also benefits from a significant damage boost and can contribute substantial damage throughout the run.
- Shadow Girl: A useful high-performing unit to include in your lineup.
- Illusionist: A strong option for additional damage and team support.
- Fishy Obsession: A powerful unit that works well with water-focused setups.
- Water Goddess: A useful water unit, especially when paired with other water damage dealers.
- Bulma: Helps generate money so you can deploy and upgrade your main attackers more quickly.
You do not need every unit listed above. Choose the strongest units available in your own roster, prioritizing those that benefit from the event’s bonuses.
Relics and Team Preparation
Relics can improve your units and help you clear the challenge more consistently. Equip them before entering so you do not begin the run with important upgrades sitting unused.
- Give your best damage relics to your main attackers.
- Equip useful support relics on units that improve your team’s overall performance.
- Check that relics are assigned to the intended units.
- If you have multiple strong relics, distribute them across the units you plan to use rather than leaving them unequipped.
The event also supports inviting friends from your server. Teammates can join the challenge with you, making it easier to cover the map and defeat enemies.
How to Beat the 50 Waves
The Summer Event Hunt is a long defense challenge. The map is relatively compact, and enemies can have shields, so you need consistent damage and good unit placement.
Early waves: Build your economy
At the beginning, avoid spending all your money on attackers immediately.
- Place Bulma or your available farm units.
- Upgrade your farms to increase your income.
- Deploy a small number of reliable damage units to handle the early enemies.
- Position attackers near the front of the map so they can hit enemies early.
Building your economy first gives you more money for upgrades later, when the waves become more difficult.
Mid-game: Strengthen your damage
Once your farms are producing enough money, begin investing in your main attackers.
- Prioritize Golden King and Homera if they are part of your team.
- Upgrade your strongest units rather than spreading your money across every unit equally.
- Place additional units to cover gaps in your team’s range.
- Use support units and relic effects to improve your damage output.
Because shielded enemies appear, make sure your team has enough damage to break through them before they reach the end of the route.
Late game: Maximize your strongest units
The later waves require more damage, so focus your resources carefully.
- Max out your strongest attackers when possible.
- Keep your units positioned to cover the route effectively.
- Use event buffs that improve your primary damage dealers.
- Avoid choosing unnecessary disadvantages if you are struggling to keep up with enemy health.
The run can take around 25–35 minutes, depending on your team and how quickly you complete the waves. Be prepared for a longer challenge.
Choosing Event Buffs
During the run, you can select buffs that affect your team’s performance. These choices can make the difference between a smooth clear and a difficult final stretch.
When choosing buffs:
- Prioritize damage increases that benefit your main attackers.
- Consider buffs that improve the units you have already invested in.
- Avoid picking unnecessary penalties that make later waves harder.
- If a Secret Portal-related option appears, consider selecting it if your goal is Megumin.
A strong team with good upgrades can make the event manageable, but poor buff choices can slow down your progress significantly.
How the Secret Portal Works
After clearing the 50-wave challenge, you may receive a Secret Portal. This is the key to obtaining Megumin.
The process works like this:
- Complete the event: Finish all 50 waves.
- Obtain the portal: The Secret Portal is a possible reward, not a guaranteed drop.
- Enter the portal: Start the separate encounter once you have it.
- Complete the portal: Finish the encounter to roll for the reward.
- Check your reward: Megumin is the unit you are farming for.
If you finish the event without receiving the portal, you will need to repeat the Summer Event Hunt. If you obtain the portal but do not get Megumin, continue farming as needed.
Best Tips for Farming Megumin
- Play with friends: Coordinating with teammates can make the long event easier.
- Use event-buffed units: Build around the units receiving the strongest damage bonuses.
- Equip relics beforehand: Make sure your best relics are assigned before starting.
- Upgrade farms early: A strong economy helps you max out attackers in the later waves.
- Prioritize your main damage dealers: Avoid spreading your resources too thin.
- Choose buffs carefully: Select bonuses that support your team’s strengths.
- Be patient: Both the Secret Portal and Megumin require successful farming, so you may need multiple runs.
Final Thoughts
Megumin is obtained through a multi-step event rather than a direct summon. Your goal is to clear the Summer Event Hunt’s 50 waves, obtain the Secret Portal, and complete it for a chance at the new Secret unit.
A well-prepared team, useful relics, an early economy, and smart buff choices will make the farming process much smoother.
