Get Garu in Anime Squadron Roblox by farming the Hero Hunter Challenge on Normal difficulty, where each clear has a small drop chance and pity guarantees him after 100 completions.
Garu is obtained by clearing the Hero Hunter Challenge on Normal difficulty, where he has a 1% drop chance and a 100-clear pity guarantee.
Garu is a grind reward, not a banner unit. If you want him in Anime Squadron Roblox, your farm is the Hero Hunter Challenge on Normal, with every full clear giving you another shot at the unit and another count toward pity.
The name may show up around the community as Garu, Garou, or even Gero, but the method stays the same: farm the correct challenge, on the correct difficulty, until the drop or pity hits.
Garu drop location and requirements
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Map | Hero Hunter Challenge |
| Difficulty | Normal for the Garu unit drop |
| Drop chance | 1% per completed Normal clear |
| Pity | 100 clears for a guaranteed Garu |
| Base rarity | Mythic |
| Other Normal rewards | Trait Shards and EXP can still drop while farming |
| Not a source | No usable Anime Squadron evidence supports Garu as a shop, banner, or code reward |
The exact farm is Hero Hunter Challenge on Normal difficulty. A successful clear has a 1% chance to award Garu, and the pity system guarantees him after 100 completions if he has not dropped before then.
Farm Hero Hunter Challenge on Normal for Garu first; save Hard runs for the reported awakening material farm so you do not waste clears chasing the unit on the wrong difficulty.
Normal and Hard rewards
Normal is the difficulty that matters for getting the Garu unit. If your goal is simply to unlock Garu, do not move your unit farm to Hard unless the game itself changes the reward table later.
Hard is tied to a separate material farm, not the base unit drop. Early player info names this Hard-mode item as Hunter’s Claw with a reported 0.5% drop chance and 200 pity, while the material list also refers to Hunters Cloth for Garu’s awakening. Treat the exact item name as unsettled for now, but the important split is clear: Normal for Garu, Hard for the awakening-related material.
This distinction matters because Garu already has a low 1% unit rate. Running Hard while expecting the unit can burn time on the wrong reward path, especially if you still need your first copy.
Units to bring for Hero Hunter Challenge
| Recommended unit | Role in the clear |
|---|---|
| Puppeteer Transcendent | Core high-value pick for consistent challenge clears |
| Falcon Dark | Damage-focused slot for pushing waves down faster |
| Gamita SSJ4 | Heavy damage option for speeding up the farm |
| Kaska Resilience | Durability-oriented support for safer runs |
| Berserker Enraged | Pressure unit for keeping clear times stable |
The recommended challenge-clear units are Puppeteer Transcendent, Falcon Dark, Gamita SSJ4, Kaska Resilience, and Berserker Enraged. These are recommendations for making clears smoother, not confirmed mandatory requirements for entering or completing the challenge.
If you cannot copy the recommended team exactly, aim for the same idea: enough damage to finish quickly, enough survivability to avoid failed clears, and a setup you can repeat many times without losing focus or wasting attempts.
Why Garu is worth farming
Garu starts as a Mythic unit and becomes Secret after awakening, which already puts him in a valuable lane for players building around rare, long-term units. His bigger appeal, though, is his bruiser identity: he is built to survive pressure, punish control effects, and scale damage through debuffs instead of just acting like a plain DPS slot.
His Brink of Death passive lets him survive a lethal hit and recover 10% HP. If he avoids being defeated within the next 3 seconds, all Garu units on the battlefield gain buffs including 15% accuracy, 15% cooldown reduction, and the ability to apply Corruption for 5 seconds, dealing 5% damage per tick. Those buffs can reportedly stack up to three times per Garu, which gives him real scaling value in longer fights.
His Reflect passive makes him unable to be stunned. Instead of losing tempo, he converts that stun attempt into a 10% DEF boost for the nearest ally, while the enemy that tried to stun him takes damage equal to 65% of Garu’s base damage. That makes him especially useful in content where stun effects would normally interrupt your run.
Garu also supports Corruption-focused damage. Prolonging marks enemies for 10 seconds after they are hit three times, making marked enemies take 5% more Corruption damage per tick and extending the debuff by 5 seconds. His Hero Hunter passive then pushes his ability damage higher by 15% for every status effect on the enemy, or 20% if the enemy is marked. The result is a tanky bruiser-support unit that can survive, buff allies, punish stuns, and keep scaling through status effects.
Awakening Garu into Garu Half Monster
| Material | Amount | Where to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Pelli | 100 | Chapter 1, Marine Lobby Squadron |
| Behelit | 100 | Chapter 1, Eclipse (Before) Squadron |
| Headband | 100 | Chapter 1, Ninja Village Squadron |
| Black Sun Amber | 10 | Chapters 9-10, Eclipse (Before) Story |
| Chakra Fragment | 10 | Chapters 9-10, Ninja Village Story |
| Hunters Cloth | 1 | Hero Hunter Challenge on Hard; possibly the same material some players call Hunter’s Claw |
| Gold | 7,500 | Earn in-game; some materials and Gold may also appear through Merchant or limited event sources |
After you get Garu, the next chase is awakening him into Garu Half Monster. This is where the farm shifts away from just Normal clears and into material gathering, including one Hero Hunter Challenge Hard-related material whose exact name is still reported inconsistently.
Mistakes that waste Garu farming time
Do not chase Garu through banners, shops, or codes. The supported method is the Hero Hunter Challenge on Normal, and unrelated code or currency info from other Roblox games does not apply to Anime Squadron.
Do not run Hard expecting the Garu unit unless the game updates its rewards. Hard is currently relevant for the reported Hunter’s Claw or Hunters Cloth-style awakening material, while the unit itself is tied to Normal clears.
Also, do not misunderstand pity as a per-wave system. The 100 pity refers to completed Hero Hunter Challenge clears, so your target is consistent full clears. Finally, watch the spelling: Garu, Garou, and Gero may be used loosely by players, but they are pointing at the same Hero Hunter-themed unit farm in this context.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you get Garu from banners or the shop?
No. The usable Anime Squadron information points to Hero Hunter Challenge Normal as Garu’s source, not banners, shops, Robux purchases, or codes.
Does Garu drop on Hard difficulty?
Hard is not the supported unit farm for Garu. Normal is for the Garu unit drop, while Hard is tied to a reported awakening material such as Hunter’s Claw or Hunters Cloth.
What is Garu’s drop rate and pity?
Garu has a 1% drop chance from completed Hero Hunter Challenge Normal clears and a 100-clear pity guarantee if the drop does not happen earlier.
What does Garu become after awakening?
After awakening, Garu becomes Garu Half Monster and his rarity changes from Mythic to Secret.
Is Garu worth farming?
Yes, especially if you want a tanky bruiser-support unit. Garu brings lethal-hit survival, stun immunity, ally defense support, Corruption scaling, status-effect damage bonuses, and a Secret awakening path.
