Tanjaro is a Mythic unit in Anime Squadron that you can get by spending Gems on the Basic Banner when he appears there or by selecting him on the Selection Banner.
Tanjaro is a banner chase, not a quest reward, so your progress comes down to Gem spending and timing. Once you know which banner to use, the rest is about saving enough pulls and avoiding off-target summons.
Where Tanjaro comes from
| Banner | How it works | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Banner | Pull when Tanjaro is one of the featured units. | 50 Gems per summon |
| Selection Banner | Choose Tanjaro as the featured Mythic target, then summon. | 50 Gems per summon |
You get Tanjaro through summons. He is a Mythic unit, and both available routes use Gems instead of a map quest, boss drop, or free unlock.
Save Gems
Build a Gem stash before banner checking, since you may need repeated summons.
Check the Basic Banner
Look for Tanjaro in the active lineup before using summons there.
Summon on the Basic Banner
Press Summon x1 or Summon x10 while Tanjaro is featured, then keep pulling until he appears.
Switch to the Selection Banner
Use the Selection Banner if you want to aim your featured Mythic slot at Tanjaro directly.
Keep going until the unit drops
Stop only when Tanjaro is in your roster or when you are saving Gems for a better banner window.
Open the Selection Banner
Go to the banner that lets you choose from the Mythic unit list.
Pick Tanjaro
Set the featured unit to Tanjaro before spending Gems.
Summon after the selection is set
Use Gems on the banner only after Tanjaro is shown as the selected target.
Respect the swap limit
The selected unit does not rotate by itself, and you can only change it once every 24 hours.
Gem sources for Tanjaro pulls
Start with Anime Squadron codes, then move into mode clears. Codes are the cleanest first check because they give Gems outside the banner loop, but use whatever active rewards are available rather than planning around a fixed amount.
After that, farm Story, Squadron, and Challenge modes. Clear the content you can finish consistently, bank the Gems, and spend them only when your Tanjaro target is actually set up.
Tanjaro abilities and pull value
| Ability | Effect |
|---|---|
| Decisive Strike | Deals 30% more damage to enemies below 50% HP. If a nearby enemy is below 25% HP, Tanjaro gains 20% attack speed until that enemy is defeated; the buff continues if another nearby enemy also stays below that threshold. |
| Fiery Heart | Every fifth attack deals true damage, ignores defense, and applies one burn stack that deals 20% damage over 4 seconds. If that hit is dodged, the next attack repeats it. |
| Protect Nezuko | If Nezuko is in your loadout, she gains 20% max HP and 20% defense for the game, while Tanjaro gains 15% attack speed and 15% damage. |
Tanjaro is worth chasing because his kit rewards long fights where enemies get softened up and repeated attacks can build value. He brings finishing pressure, defense-piercing hits, burn damage, and a direct bonus when Nezuko is in the same loadout.
That makes him especially useful as a carry who helps finish enemies below half health while still punching through defenses. If your roster already uses Nezuko, his final passive gives both units a reason to stay together instead of treating Tanjaro as a standalone pull.
How to awaken Tanjaro into Tanjaro (Sun Breathing)
| Requirement | Where to get it |
|---|---|
| Awakening menu | Use the menu to upgrade Tanjaro after the full material list is ready. |
| 200x Warding Mask | Infinity Train Squadron Act 1 |
| 200x Spirit Elixir | Infinity Train Story Chapters 3-4 |
| 65x Lightning Stone | Infinity Train Story Chapters 7-8 |
| 15x Demon Blood Crystal | Infinity Train Story Chapters 9-10 |
| 1x Tanjaro’s Nichirin | Infinity Train Squadron Act 3 (Hard) |
| 7,500 Gold | Completing Acts and Chapters across modes |
Once you have the full set, awaken him through the Awakening menu to make Tanjaro (Sun Breathing). After the upgrade, the next build work is rolling SSS grades across his stats, chasing a strong Superior Trait, and giving him your best gear.
Best Gem plan for chasing Tanjaro
If you are only chasing Tanjaro, be patient with the Basic Banner and aggressive only when the banner is correct. Spending on unrelated featured units slows down the one chase that matters, even if the unit in front of you is also rare.
KEY!Use the Basic Banner when you are comfortable waiting for the rotation, and use the Selection Banner when you want the direct target slot. The point is not to summon constantly; it is to make every Gem spend happen while Tanjaro is the unit you are actually aiming at.
Check your active featured unit before every summon; if it is not Tanjaro, hold the Gems for the next Basic Banner window or your Selection Banner setup.
