Gear 5 Luffy is 100% confirmed coming to Anime Vanguards. Here's everything we know — release window, expected rarity, stats, and how to prepare right now.
Every Luffy variant in Anime Vanguards has been top-tier DPS. Gear 5 with the Sun God Nika awakening should have an AoE burst ability that deals massive damage to multiple lanes simultaneously.
Gear 5 in One Piece transforms Luffy's entire body — expect a special evolution or transformation ability that changes his attack pattern mid-battle, similar to how other awakened units work in AV.
If Gear 5 is Secret rarity, expect ~0.1-0.5% base pull rate. You'll need either a rate-up banner, Secret Orbs (50 for guarantee), or a massive Gem stockpile to reliably get him.
AV updates roughly every 3-4 weeks. Update 12 is current. Based on the community tease timing, Update 13 is the most likely drop window for Gear 5. Bookmark this page — we'll update the moment it's confirmed.
Every free Gem from codes is one less Gem you need to grind before Gear 5's banner. Redeem everything now and don't spend them until his banner drops.
If Gear 5 is Secret rarity, Secret Orbs guarantee him at 50. Get orbs from codes now — 2kccuomg! in Anime Story 2 gives 15 orbs if AV uses the same system, but specifically look for AV-specific Secret Orbs in events.
Stop spending Gems on current banners now. The meta will shift completely when Gear 5 drops. Save everything for his rate-up banner — a fresh rate-up is always the most efficient time to pull for a new unit.
The official Anime Vanguards Discord (#announcements) will post the exact release date before the update. Bookmark this page — we'll add Gear 5's confirmed stats, best builds, and any new codes within hours of his release.
