Overview of Godly Beast Gohan
Godly Beast Gohan is a Godly rarity unit introduced in Anime Last Stand alongside the Last Stand update. As one of the most anticipated Dragon Ball characters in the game, Beast Gohan brings unique energy-scaling mechanics that set him apart from traditional DPS units. Released on the same patch as UI Goku, this character generated massive excitement due to his initially broken passive that granted infinite damage.

Beast Gohan's core identity revolves around energy manipulation. His leader skill grants all units 1% energy and 1% power as a flat damage buff. While this sounds modest, the real power comes from his ability to infinitely scale energy throughout a match, converting that accumulated energy into devastating damage output.
The initial release of Godly Beast Gohan featured a game-breaking bug where his energy meter could scale infinitely, granting all allied units unlimited damage and critical hit stats. Developers patched this within roughly 24 hours. The character now functions as intended, though his damage output remains strong for extended encounters.
How to Obtain Beast Gohan
Acquiring Beast Gohan requires dedication and consistency. The character drops from the Beast Rush event at a 5% rate, with a pity system that guarantees the drop after 30 completions. Each run takes approximately 10 minutes, meaning players should prepare for a significant time investment if luck is not on their side.
| Requirement | Details | Estimated Time |
|---|---|---|
| Drop Rate | 5% per Beast Rush completion | Variable |
| Pity System | Guaranteed drop at 30 completions | ~5 hours |
| Event Name | Beast Rush | Ongoing |
| Previous Version | Old Beast Gohan does NOT count | Must obtain new version |
| Recommended Unit | Yuji Itadori can solo the stage | Fast clears possible |
The Beast Rush event features enemies with shields that can complicate auto-battle strategies. However, testing confirms that a well-placed Yuji Itadori can consistently clear the stage solo, making automated farming viable. Players using auto-retry should ensure their team composition can handle the shield mechanics without manual intervention.
Use fast-deploying units with low cooldowns to speed up Beast Rush completions. Applying the Beast Gohan skin to Goku for additional coin bonuses can accelerate your progress toward purchasing necessary evolution materials.
Evolution Quest Walkthrough
The evolution from base Beast Gohan to Godly Beast Gohan requires completing 7 specific quests. This is notably fewer than previous Godly evolutions, with historical comparisons showing Gilgamesh required 14-16 quests. The reduced quest count is likely due to UI Goku releasing in the same patch.
Complete Beast Rush 10 Times
Clear the Beast Rush event 10 times. This forms the foundation of your evolution journey and rewards coins needed for subsequent steps.
Obtain 100 Cosmic Acids
These materials drop naturally during your Beast Rush completions. By the time you finish 10 runs, you should have sufficient Cosmic Acids.
Clear Beast Rush with Empty Battlefield
Empty Battlefield is the internal name for the new Beast Gohan. You must have him on your team and successfully clear the stage.
Obtain Aura Farmer (Orange Piccolo)
Purchase and evolve Orange Piccolo into Aura Farmer. This is a straightforward evolution that serves as a prerequisite for the final step.
Evolve Beast Gohan to Godly
With all prerequisites complete, use the evolution interface to transform your Beast Gohan into the Godly version.
With only 7 quests and straightforward objectives, this evolution chain is considered the most accessible Godly release in Anime Last Stand history. Most players can complete it within a single session.
Abilities and Mechanics
Godly Beast Gohan features a complex kit built around energy scaling and tactical repositioning. Understanding his mechanics is essential for maximizing his potential in both short and extended encounters.
| Ability | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Leader Skill | All units gain 1% energy and 1% power as flat damage buff | Mild buff in current meta |
| Energy Passive | Gains +10% current energy per attack, reduced by 1% each time | Resets to 10% when any unit uses ability |
| Rampage | Forcibly enters rampage for 30 seconds when Sbeam Laser used in range | Major burst window |
| Tactical Reposition | Can be manually repositioned to any valid location | One-time use per match |
| Plasma Nuke | Deals 100x damage in thin line AOE toward strongest enemy | Applies Plasma and Blaze |
| Energy Steal | Steals 2% energy from Gohan for nuke scaling | 300x damage, echoes every 10s |
The key to maximizing Beast Gohan's output lies in managing his energy resets. When any unit on your team uses an ability, Gohan's energy gain resets to the full 10% per attack. This creates an interesting synergy with units that frequently activate abilities.
Pair Beast Gohan with units like Idol who constantly pop their concert ability. This ensures Gohan's energy gain consistently resets to 10%, maintaining his damage scaling throughout the match.
His Rampage mode grants 25% increased damage dealt with a flat damage buff on every attack. However, these stacks reset after 15 seconds, meaning sustained ability activation from teammates is crucial for maintaining peak performance.
Team Synergy and Comparisons
Beast Gohan exists in a meta dominated by UI Goku, who summons 20 clones each dealing approximately 700 billion DPS. Understanding how Gohan fits into team compositions requires comparing him against the current top-tier options.
UI Goku
- 20 clones with 700B DPS each
- Buffs Vegeta by 300% damage
- Currently the meta DPS king
- Zero-cost placement available
Godly Beast Gohan
- Infinite energy scaling potential
- Provides team-wide damage buffs
- Requires buildup time
- Best in extended encounters
Aura Farmer (Orange Piccolo)
- Easy evolution prerequisite
- Solid support capabilities
- Required for Gohan questline
- Good standalone value
The damage comparison reveals an interesting dynamic. An unupgraded UI Goku deals approximately 17 billion DPS immediately. Meanwhile, Beast Gohan after stacking for 50 waves reaches approximately 4-8 trillion DPS. While Goku provides instant impact, Gohan's scaling nature makes him valuable for longer content where his energy accumulation can snowball.
Beast Gohan fills a hybrid role as both a scaling DPS and a team buffer. While he may not match UI Goku's raw burst damage, his leader skill and energy mechanics provide unique utility that can enhance overall team performance in specific scenarios.
Important Considerations
Several factors affect Beast Gohan's viability and long-term value in the current Anime Last Stand meta. Players should consider these before investing heavily in the unit.
Pre-Investment Checklist:
- Obtain the new Beast Gohan (old version does not count)
- Complete all 7 evolution quests including Aura Farmer
- Understand the energy reset mechanic for optimal usage
- Prepare for upcoming game descaling update
- Consider pairing with ability-spamming units like Idol
The developers have announced a game-wide descaling update that will reduce damage numbers across all characters while proportionally lowering enemy health. This mirrors what Anime Adventures previously did when numbers reached unsustainable levels. Currently, characters like Goku deal sextillion-level damage, which the development team considers excessive.
The announced descaling update will reduce damage values on top-tier characters while keeping weaker units unchanged. Enemy health will be adjusted proportionally. This may shift the relative power rankings, so monitor patch notes before making final investment decisions.
Additionally, Bulma's power creep means she is no longer the optimal farming unit. Players should bring Senku for efficient AFK farming instead. The meta continues to shift with each update, and Dragon Ball characters consistently perform well due to their popularity and the developers' tendency to release them during critical update windows.
FAQ
Q: Does the old Beast Gohan count toward the Godly evolution?
No, the old Beast Gohan does not count. You must obtain the new version from the Beast Rush event, which has a 5% drop rate with a 30-completion pity system. The evolution quests specifically require the new version.
Q: How long does it take to get Godly Beast Gohan from scratch?
Expect approximately 5-6 hours if you go to pity (30 runs at ~10 minutes each). The 7 evolution quests are straightforward and can be completed during your farming sessions. This makes it one of the fastest Godly acquisitions in the game.
Q: Is Godly Beast Gohan better than UI Goku?
Not in terms of raw burst damage. UI Goku's 20 clones dealing 700 billion DPS each provide immediate impact. However, Beast Gohan offers team-wide buffs through his leader skill and scales infinitely with energy, making him valuable for extended encounters and team compositions that leverage his unique mechanics.
Q: What happened with the Beast Gohan infinite damage bug?
On release, Beast Gohan's energy meter could scale infinitely, breaking the damage buff calculation and granting all allied units unlimited damage and critical hits. Developers patched this within approximately 24 hours. The character now functions as intended, though some players reported the character temporarily stopped working entirely after the fix.
