In this comprehensive guide, I’ll break down everything you need to know about Anime Last Stands Update 72, from conquering the challenging Tokyo Ghoul Raid to securing all the new powerful characters and maximizing your rewards with the latest codes.

What is the Tokyo Ghoul Raid in Anime Last Stands?

The centerpiece of Update 72 is the exclusive Tokyo Ghoul Raid, set in a new, atmospheric map: Tokyo City. This raid challenges players to fight through increasingly difficult stages, perfectly capturing the dark, urban aesthetic of the Tokyo Ghoul universe. As someone who has spent countless hours in raids, I can tell you this one stands out for its immersive design and rewarding progression system.

Tokyo City Raid Structure

The Tokyo Ghoul Raid consists of multiple Acts, each with 20 waves of enemies that grow progressively more challenging. To unlock the crown jewel of this update, Kaneki, you must prove your strength by clearing up to Act 6. Here’s what you need to know about each Act:

  • Act 1-2: Introduction to Tokyo Ghoul enemies, moderate difficulty
  • Act 3-4: Increased enemy variety and stronger bosses
  • Act 5-6: Maximum difficulty with exclusive rewards and Kaneki unlock

What makes this raid particularly interesting is the introduction of Tokyo City Totems. These special items can be purchased to provide a significant damage boost specifically during the raid. I recommend investing in these totems early, as they’ll make your progression through the tougher Acts much more manageable.

How to Access the Tokyo Ghoul Raid?

Accessing the Tokyo Ghoul Raid is straightforward once you know where to look:

  1. Navigate to the Raids section from the main menu
  2. Select the Tokyo City raid option
  3. Choose your starting Act (begin with Act 1 if you’re new)
  4. Deploy your units and prepare for battle

The raid follows the standard raid structure introduced in Update 5 Part 1, but with unique Tokyo Ghoul-themed enemies and mechanics that set it apart from previous raids.

What are the New Units in Anime Last Stands Update 72?

Update 72 introduces four formidable new units, each with unique abilities and acquisition methods. As a veteran player, I’m particularly excited about these additions because they bring some of the most iconic Tokyo Ghoul characters into the game with faithful representations of their powers from the series.

Kaneki (Raid Unit)

How to Get Kaneki in June 2026?

Ken Kaneki is the premier raid unit and the main attraction of this update. You can unlock him by successfully completing the Tokyo Ghoul Raid up to Act 6. He is not available through banners and is the direct reward for your raid prowess.

Evolution Requirements:

  • Base Unit: One Eyed Centipede
  • Evolution Material: Hallucinogenic Centipede
  • Acquisition Method: Complete Tokyo City Raid Act 6 (5% chance, 20 pity)

Kaneki is a Hybrid unit with Dark element and Bleed effect, making him incredibly versatile against various enemy types. His damage output ranges from 10,000 to an impressive 986,344 at max level, with a range of 20-26.8 and SPA of 6-8.

Arima (Banner Unit)

How to Get Arima in June 2026?

Kishou Arima, known as the White Reaper, is a powerful limited-time banner unit. You must summon for him using your in-game currency when his banner is active. He’s available through Banner 3, making him accessible to players who prefer the gacha system over raid grinding.

Evolution Requirements:

  • Base Unit: White Reaper
  • Evolution Material: Black Lamb’s Egg
  • Acquisition Method: Banner 3 summoning

Arima is an Ultimate unit with exceptional crowd control capabilities, perfect for players who focus on strategic unit placement and battlefield control.

Eto (Banner Unit)

How to Get Eto in June 2026?

Eto Yoshimura, also known as the One-Eyed Owl, is another limited-time banner unit available through rotation. She can be obtained from Banner 3 and 4, giving players multiple opportunities to add her to their collection.

Evolution Requirements:

  • Base Unit: One Eyed Devil
  • Evolution Material: Ghoul Mask
  • Acquisition Method: Banner 3 and 4 summoning

Eto brings unique area-of-effect capabilities to the battlefield, making her invaluable for players who struggle with large groups of enemies or need additional strategic options.

Skull Knight & Extreme Z-Awakening

While not a new unit from this update, Skull Knight receives a massive power-up through the new Extreme Z-Awakening system, making him more relevant than ever. This enhancement is part of the broader Extreme Boost system introduced in this update, which we’ll explore in detail later.

What is the Extreme Boost System in Anime Last Stands?

Update 72 introduces a major new progression layer that significantly impacts gameplay: the Extreme Boost system. This is a game-changing addition that allows for powerful enhancements to your units, adding new layers of strength and combat variety. It’s a key feature for players looking to maximize their team’s potential.

How Extreme Boost Works

The Extreme Boost system was first introduced in the Blue Lock update and allows you to buff older units, making them viable in the current meta. It’s only accessible in World 2 and can be found right next to Boss Rush. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Location: Next to Boss Rush in World 2
  • Structure: 10 Acts with increasing difficulty
  • Rewards: Infernal/Divine Tokens and EXP food
  • Cost: 45 Tokens per Extreme Boost, plus additional items

Types of Extreme Boosts

There are two main categories of Extreme Boosts available:

Divine Extreme Boost

These units were granted powers from Heaven:

  • Almight Ninja (Resurrected)
  • Riku (Kai)
  • Captain Commander (Kai)
  • Korito (Celestial King)
  • Braly (LSSJ)
  • Aisen (Muken)
  • Animated Crow
  • King of Heroes (Heavenly Sword)
  • King Pendragon (Alter)
  • Kon (Rage)
  • Quincy King (Awakened)
  • Shadow Commander
  • Fortune Master (Jackpot)

Infernal Extreme Boost

These units were granted powers from the depths of Hell:

  • Flame Breather (Demonic)
  • Tango (Flashiness)
  • Baldy (Deadly Serious)
  • Lord Alien (Dark)
  • Vagata (Ultra Ego)
  • Fused Warrior (Blue)
  • Anto (Monarch)
  • Black Swordsman (Berserk)
  • Boku Dark (Resentful)
  • Fused Kai (Full Power)
  • Jester (Blood Rage)
  • Ninel (Spirit)
  • Strongest Sorcerer (Unsealed)
  • Sorcerer Killer

Strategic Benefits of Extreme Boost

The Extreme Boost system serves several important purposes in the game:

  1. Power Creep Mitigation: Keeps older units relevant as new content is released
  2. Strategic Depth: Adds new layers to team composition and planning
  3. Progression Goals: Provides long-term objectives for veteran players
  4. Resource Management: Requires careful planning of token and resource allocation

What are RC Cells and How to Use Them?

RC Cells are a new currency specific to the Tokyo Ghoul Raid, representing a clever nod to the Tokyo Ghoul series where RC cells are central to ghoul biology. In Anime Last Stands, RC Cells serve a crucial purpose in the new progression system.

How to Earn RC Cells

You earn RC Cells by participating in the Tokyo Ghoul Raid. The amount you earn depends on your performance and the Act you complete:

  • Higher Acts: More RC Cells as rewards
  • Better Performance: Bonus RC Cells for efficient clears
  • Daily Rewards: Additional RC Cells from daily raid completions

What to Use RC Cells For

RC Cells are then used to craft the evolution materials for the new Tokyo Ghoul units. This creates a meaningful progression loop where raid participation directly enables unit enhancement.

The key evolution materials you can craft with RC Cells are:

  1. Hallucinogenic Centipede: Used to evolve Kaneki
  2. Black Lamb’s Egg: Used to evolve Arima
  3. Ghoul Mask: Used to evolve Eto

RC Cell Management Strategy

Based on my experience with similar systems, here’s how I recommend managing your RC Cells:

  1. Prioritize Your Main Unit: Focus RC Cells on evolving the unit you use most frequently
  2. Balance Investment: Don’t invest all RC Cells in one unit until you’re sure of your strategy
  3. Daily Raid Runs: Consistent daily participation yields better long-term results
  4. Save for Events: Keep some RC Cells in reserve for special events that might offer limited-time crafting options

What Quality of Life Improvements Were Added in Update 72?

Update 72 isn’t just about new content; it also focuses heavily on improving the player experience with numerous quality-of-life improvements. As someone who appreciates when developers listen to community feedback, I’m particularly impressed with these additions.

Permanent 2x Drop Rate

One of the most significant QoL changes is the permanent double drop rates for older items. This makes farming much more efficient and helps newer players catch up faster. Specifically:

  • Older Items: 2x drop rate permanently
  • Farming Efficiency: Reduced time needed for resource gathering
  • New Player Experience: More accessible progression

Infinity Castle Hard Mode Expansion

The challenge now extends all the way to Floor 100 in Infinity Castle Hard Mode. This provides:

  • Extended Content: More challenges for veteran players
  • Better Rewards: Improved drops at higher floors
  • Progression Path: Clear goals for long-term players

Improved User Interface

The game now features a cleaner and more user-friendly interface. Improvements include:

  • Cleaner Layout: Less cluttered menus
  • Better Navigation: More intuitive menu structure
  • Visual Clarity: Improved readability of important information

Pearl Expiry Countdown

The game now clearly displays when your Pearls are set to expire, providing much-needed transparency. This is crucial because:

  • Pearls are Time-Limited: Regular Pearls only have a lifespan of a few days
  • Better Planning: Allows players to plan their Pearl usage more effectively
  • Reduced Waste: Prevents accidental loss of valuable resources

Enhanced Level Rewards

Level-up rewards now include Dusk Pearls and double the amount of materials like:

  • Rerolls: Essential for unit optimization
  • Perfect Stat Cubes: Important for unit enhancement
  • Mythic Shards: Valuable currency for high-tier content

Final Expedition Buffs

A 5x greater chance to obtain:

  • Glitched Pity Potion: Extremely valuable for summoning
  • Midas/Mystical Swapper: Useful for resource management

How to Build the Ultimate Tokyo Ghoul Team?

With all these new units and systems, building an effective team can seem overwhelming. Based on my experience testing various combinations, here’s my guide to creating the ultimate Tokyo Ghoul-themed team.

Team Composition Strategy

When building your Tokyo Ghoul team, consider these key factors:

  1. Elemental Balance: Ensure you have coverage against different enemy types
  2. Role Distribution: Include units for different battlefield roles (DPS, support, control)
  3. Synergy: Look for units that complement each other’s abilities
  4. Evolution Stage: Prioritize evolving units that provide the most value

Recommended Team Setups

Beginner Tokyo Ghoul Team

  • Main DPS: One Eyed Ghoul (base form of Kaneki)
  • Support: Any banner unit with healing abilities
  • Control: Units with crowd control capabilities
  • Flex: Your strongest existing unit

Intermediate Tokyo Ghoul Team

  • Main DPS: One Eyed Centipede (evolved Kaneki)
  • Secondary DPS: White Reaper (Arima)
  • Support: One Eyed Devil (Eto) for AoE damage
  • Utility: Extreme Boosted unit of your choice

Advanced Tokyo Ghoul Team

  • Main DPS: One Eyed Centipede (Kukaja) – fully evolved Kaneki
  • Secondary DPS: White Reaper (fully evolved)
  • AoE Specialist: One Eyed Devil (Kukaja) – fully evolved Eto
  • Support: Extreme Z-Awakened Skull Knight
  • Flex: Another Extreme Boosted unit

Evolution Priority Guide

Given the resource constraints, here’s how I recommend prioritizing your evolution investments:

  1. Priority 1: Kaneki (One Eyed Centipede) – Raid reward, central to the update
  2. Priority 2: Arima (White Reaper) – Excellent crowd control
  3. Priority 3: Eto (One Eyed Devil) – Great AoE capabilities
  4. Priority 4: Skull Knight Extreme Z-Awakening – Powerful enhancement to existing unit

Common Mistakes to Avoid in Update 72

Even experienced players can fall into traps with new content. Here are the common mistakes I’ve seen players make with Update 72 and how to avoid them.

Mistake 1: Ignoring Tokyo City Totems

Many players overlook the importance of Tokyo City Totems, trying to brute-force the raid without them. This leads to unnecessary difficulty and frustration.

Solution: Invest in Tokyo City Totems early. They provide a significant damage boost that makes the raid much more manageable, especially in later Acts.

Mistake 2: Spending RC Cells Immediately

It’s tempting to spend RC Cells as soon as you earn them, but this can leave you without the resources needed for crucial evolution materials.

Solution: Plan your RC Cell spending based on your evolution priorities. Save enough for the materials you need most before spending on extras.

Mistake 3: Neglecting Code Redemption

Some players focus so much on the new raid that they forget to redeem the latest codes, missing out on valuable resources.

Solution: Make code redemption part of your daily routine. The current codes provide significant resources that can accelerate your progression.

Mistake 4: Underestimating the Extreme Boost System

The Extreme Boost system might seem optional, but it’s actually crucial for keeping older units viable in the current meta.

Solution: Explore the Extreme Boost system early and identify which of your existing units would benefit most from the enhancement.

Mistake 5: Poor Resource Management

With so many new currencies and materials, it’s easy to spread your resources too thin across multiple units.

Solution: Focus your resources on 1-2 main units first, then expand once you have a solid core team established.

Pro Strategies for Tokyo Ghoul Raid Success

Want to dominate the Tokyo Ghoul Raid? Here are the advanced strategies I’ve developed through extensive testing.

Strategy 1: Unit Placement Optimization

The Tokyo City map has unique terrain features that can be exploited for better unit placement:

  • Elevated Positions: Some units benefit from being placed on higher ground
  • Choke Points: Identify narrow passages where enemies cluster
  • Cover Areas: Use buildings and obstacles to protect key units

Strategy 2: Wave-Specific Loadouts

Different waves in the raid require different approaches:

  • Early Waves: Focus on economy-building units
  • Mid Waves: Transition to balanced DPS and support
  • Boss Waves: Maximize single-target damage
  • Final Waves: Full DPS with emergency support

Strategy 3: Evolution Timing

Knowing when to evolve your units during the raid can make a huge difference:

  • Early Evolution: Get stronger units sooner but risk resource depletion
  • Mid-Raid Evolution: Balance between power and resource management
  • Late Evolution: Save resources for crucial moments

Strategy 4: Synergy Combos

Some unit combinations work exceptionally well together:

  • Kaneki + Arima: High DPS with crowd control
  • Eto + Support Units: AoE damage with healing and buffs
  • Extreme Boosted Units + New Units: Blend of old and new power

Platform-Specific Information

Update 72 is available across all platforms where Anime Last Stands is playable, but there are some platform-specific considerations to keep in mind.

PC/Mac

  • Controls: Mouse and keyboard provide precise unit placement
  • Performance: Generally smoother with higher frame rates
  • UI: Larger screen space makes menu navigation easier

Mobile (iOS/Android)

  • Controls: Touch screen requires careful tapping for unit placement
  • Performance: May experience lag during intense raid moments
  • UI: Smaller screen requires more scrolling and zooming

Console (Xbox/PlayStation)

  • Controls: Controller input is optimized for quick actions
  • Performance: Stable frame rates with occasional drops in complex scenes
  • UI: Designed for controller navigation with large, clear buttons

Cross-Platform Considerations

  • Progression: Your account syncs across all platforms
  • Co-op: You can raid with players on different platforms
  • Codes: Codes work the same across all platforms

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get Kaneki in Anime Last Stand?

You unlock Kaneki by completing the Tokyo Ghoul Raid up to Act 6. He is a raid reward, not a banner unit. Once you complete Act 6, you have a 5% chance to obtain him, with a pity system that guarantees him after 20 attempts. You can also obtain him by evolving One Eyed Ghoul using the Hallucinogenic Centipede material.

What are the new units in Anime Last Stands Update 72?

The new units are Kaneki (Raid), Arima (Banner), and Eto (Banner). Skull Knight also received a major upgrade via the Extreme Z-Awakening system. Kaneki is obtained by completing the Tokyo Ghoul Raid, while Arima and Eto are available through banner summoning.

What is the Extreme Boost in Anime Last Stand?

The Extreme Boost is a new system that allows for powerful enhancements to your units, significantly increasing their power and adding new strategic options. It was introduced in the Blue Lock update and allows you to buff older units, making them viable in the current meta. You need 45 Infernal/Divine Tokens plus additional items to Extreme Boost a unit.

What are RC Cells used for?

RC Cells are a raid currency earned from the Tokyo Ghoul Raid. They are used to craft evolution materials for the new Tokyo Ghoul units (Kaneki, Arima, and Eto). Specifically, you can craft the Hallucinogenic Centipede for Kaneki, Black Lamb’s Egg for Arima, and Ghoul Mask for Eto.

Where can I find new redeem codes for Anime Last Stand?

New codes are often released on the game’s official social media channels (like Discord or Twitter). Check back regularly, as codes expire. The current active codes for this update are TokyoGhoulQOL!, UPD72ALS!, 72LongMaint, and GhoulALS. You can also check our Anime Last Stand codes page for the latest updates.

How do I evolve the new Tokyo Ghoul units?

Each Tokyo Ghoul unit requires specific evolution materials: Kaneki needs the Hallucinogenic Centipede, Arima needs the Black Lamb’s Egg, and Eto needs the Ghoul Mask. These materials can be crafted using RC Cells earned from the Tokyo Ghoul Raid. You’ll need to collect enough RC Cells and then use the crafting system to create these evolution materials.

What are Tokyo City Totems and how do I use them?

Tokyo City Totems are special items that can be purchased to provide a significant damage boost specifically during the Tokyo Ghoul Raid. You can buy them from the raid shop using the currency you earn from completing raid stages. Activating these totems before starting a raid act will make your units deal more damage, making it easier to complete the more difficult stages.

Is the Tokyo Ghoul Raid permanent or limited-time?

Based on previous raid patterns and the significance of this update, the Tokyo Ghoul Raid is likely to be a permanent addition to the game. However, the specific rewards and drop rates might be adjusted in future updates. I recommend focusing on completing it sooner rather than later to take advantage of the current reward structure.

How does the Extreme Z-Awakening for Skull Knight work?

The Extreme Z-Awakening is an enhanced form of the Extreme Boost system specifically for Skull Knight. It provides a more significant power increase than regular Extreme Boosts, making Skull Knight competitive with the newest units. The exact requirements and materials needed for this awakening can be found in the Extreme Boost menu next to Boss Rush.

What’s the best way to farm RC Cells efficiently?

The most efficient way to farm RC Cells is to consistently complete the highest Act of the Tokyo Ghoul Raid that you can handle. Higher Acts drop more RC Cells, and better performance (faster clears, fewer units lost) often results in bonus rewards. Daily participation is key, as there are often daily bonus rewards that provide additional RC Cells.

Conclusion

Anime Last Stands Update 72 is a monumental release that successfully integrates the popular Tokyo Ghoul franchise into the game. With the challenging Tokyo City Raid, the highly sought-after new units like Kaneki and Arima, the strategic depth of the Extreme Boost system, and numerous quality-of-life upgrades, there has never been a better time to jump back into the game.

The update offers something for every type of player: raid enthusiasts will love the new Tokyo Ghoul Raid, collectors will be excited about the new units, strategists will enjoy the Extreme Boost system, and everyone will appreciate the quality-of-life improvements. The introduction of RC Cells as a raid-specific currency adds a meaningful progression loop that ties the various new systems together.

Remember to save this page for quick reference, especially for the active codes and raid strategies. The codes are time-sensitive, and the raid strategies will be invaluable as you work your way through the increasingly difficult Acts. Whether you’re a veteran player or just starting out, Update 72 provides enough content to keep you engaged for weeks to come.

Gather your strongest teams, dive into the raid to secure your Kaneki, and don’t forget to redeem all the active codes to boost your progress. Happy gaming, and may your Tokyo Ghoul journey be filled with epic victories and powerful new units.
