Who Is The Best Unit From The Anime Vanguards 6 Update?

The best unit from update 6 is Byeken and the evolved version, Byeken (Ronin). Let’s go through everything you need to know.

About Byeken

Byeken is a secret rarity unit. It has a passive ability called 263P. With this, any time a unit is attacked or inflicted with a status effect or debuff, it will perform a counterattack for 20% of its damage. Byeken can also counter-attack enemy units, reflecting status effects on them.

How To Obtain Byeken

To obtain Byeken, you need to obtain something called the Favourite Drink, which you can obtain from the Shining Castle Legend Stage EX Act 4.

Once you have the Favourite Drink, you need to defeat all of the bosses in the Edge of Heaven Map. It doesn’t matter which mode you complete it in, as long as you defeat all bosses. This item has a 50% chance of dropping, so you may have to defeat them again if you don’t obtain it.

Next, you need to win 10 PvP ranked matches. After that, you need to eliminate Chaos 10 times, which you can find in the Shining Castle Stage, Act 3. After you do this, you will obtain the Byeken unit.

Byeken (Ronin)

This evolved unit will keep the 236P ability. However, it also gains a few more.

  • Tethered
    • Any attack Byeken (Ronin) makes will be followed by attack 5. In this, any enemy this unit attacks gets inflicted with Tethered and becomes tethered to this unit.
    • Enemies who are tethered share 0.1% of the damage any of them take and are slowed by 20%.
    • Tethered enemies break when enemies leave Byeken (Ronin) range.
  • Tatami Gesh
    • Anytime a Tethered unit dies in Byeken (Ronin)’s range, this unit performs attack 1 where that enemy died (PvP only).
    • When a Tethered enemy dies in the unit’s range, this unit performs attack 1 on an enemy, which stuns it for 10 seconds, with a 20-second cooldown.
