Understanding the Last Standian Mechanics

Before we dive into the specific trials, it is crucial to understand the core mechanics that define the “Last Standian” update. These trials are different from standard Story or Infinite modes. If you go in guns blazing without a plan, you will lose.

The Rage Meter

One of the new mechanics in these trials is the Rage Meter. As Goku takes damage or defeats enemies, his Rage Meter builds up.

• Low Rage: Standard attack speed and damage.
• High Rage: Significantly increased damage but decreased defense (glass cannon mode).
• Pro Tip: Don’t let your Goku units sit at full rage constantly against high-damage bosses, or they will get one-shot. Time your transformations carefully.

Orbs and Traits

For these trials, you absolutely need to utilize the Orb System. Simply placing a Mythic unit isn’t enough. You need to pair specific orbs to unlock the “Last Standian” form of Goku.

• Required Orb: Often the Golden Capsule or Saiyan Pride Orb (names may vary based on the latest patch).
• Traits: Focus on the “Berserker” trait for damage or “Guardian” for survival in the earlier trials.

Prerequisites Before You Start

Don’t waste your time attempting these trials if you aren’t prepared. Here is the bare minimum I recommend before queueing up:

Trial 1: Saiyan Pride

This is the entry point to the Goku trials. It tests your ability to handle grouped enemies (AoE) while maintaining a steady economy.

Recommended Loadout

• Main DPS: [AoE Mythic Unit] + [AoE Mythic Unit]
• Support: [Hybrid Support]
• Farm: [Economic Unit]

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Wave 1-3 (Economy Phase):
Start by placing your Farmer. Do not place any damage units yet. Let the enemies reach the mid-map to maximize the “Cash per Enemy” mechanic if you have it. Upgrade your Farmer to Level 2 immediately.

• Internal Link: If you are struggling with Roblox lag during these waves, check out our guide on [how to make Roblox run faster].

Wave 4-6 (First DPS):
Place your first [AoE Mythic Unit] near the first bend. Use a Cost Reduction Orb if you have it. This unit should handle the basic mobs easily. Save your money.

Wave 7-10 (The Push):
Place your second [AoE Mythic Unit] at the end of the path. Upgrade both DPS units to Level 3. Here is where the “Saiyan Pride” mechanic kicks in—enemies will start moving faster. You need your units fully upgraded before Wave 10.

Wave 11-15 (Boss Fight):
The boss here has high health but slow speed.

• Strategy: Sell your Farmer (if the economy allows) to afford the final upgrade on your main DPS unit.
• Placement: Ensure your [Hybrid Support] is buffing both DPS units.
• Result: The boss should melt before reaching the second bend.

Trial 2: Beyond Limits

This trial shifts focus from groups of enemies to single, high-health targets. AoE units will struggle here. You need pure Single Target (ST) damage.

Recommended Loadout

• Main DPS: [Goku ST Unit] + [Secret ST Unit]
• Support: [Range Buff Support]
• Crowd Control: [Stun Unit]

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Wave 1-4:
Similar to Trial 1, focus on economy early. However, in Trial 2, enemies have “Armor”. You need to place a [Stun Unit] early to slow them down so your economy builds up.

Wave 5-8:
Place your [Goku ST Unit]. This is the star of the show. Position him in the center of the map where he has the longest range possible. Equip him with a Damage Orb.

Wave 9-12 (Armor Phase):
Enemies will have massive armor buffs.

• Crucial Step: You must upgrade [Goku ST Unit] to his final form (Level 4/5). His ability “Penetrating Shot” ignores armor, which is essential here.
• Tip: Place your [Range Buff Support] behind him. This usually extends his range to cover nearly 80% of the map.

Wave 13-15:
The final boss here is a “Giant” type enemy.

• Mistake to Avoid: Do not place your units too close to the path. The boss has an AoE stomp that deals splash damage to ground units. Keep your [Goku ST Unit] elevated or far back.

Trial 3: Instinct Defense

Welcome to the Expert tier. This trial is a nightmare. It introduces “Invisible Enemies” and “Speed Demons.” If you rely solely on range, you will fail.

Recommended Loadout

• Main DPS: True Vision Unit + [Rapid Fire Unit]
• Support: [Slow/Debuff Unit]
• Farm: [Meta Farmer]

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Wave 1-5:
Place your [Meta Farmer]. Use your [True Vision Unit] as your first DPS. Without True Vision, the invisible enemies in Wave 3 will walk right past your other units and end your run.

Wave 6-10 (Speed Rush):
Enemies will spawn in massive waves with high speed.

• Strategy: This is a “Hybrid” placement strategy. Place [Slow/Debuff Unit] right at the start of the path to slow them down.
• Spamming: You cannot rely on one unit here. Spam 2-3 [Rapid Fire Units] along the first half of the map. They need to attack fast to chip away the health of the speed demons.

Wave 11-15 (The Invisible Boss):
The boss here goes invisible every 10 seconds.

• Counter: Your [True Vision Unit] is your lifeline. Ensure he is fully upgraded.
• Ability Timing: Wait for the boss to appear, then use your “Time Stop” ability (if your leader unit has it) to lock him in place while your DPS unloads.

Trial 4: Fusion Fury

This trial requires you to use Fusion Units. Using non-fused units is possible but extremely difficult (Hell mode). The intended strategy is to fuse.

Recommended Loadout

• Components: [Unit A] + [Unit B] (to make Fusion Unit)
• Protection: [Shield Unit]
• DPS: [Final Form Goku]

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Wave 1-4:
Place the components for your Fusion Unit early. They act as individual farmers or weak DPS until fused.

Wave 5 (Fuse!):
At the start of Wave 5, fuse your components. Place the resulting [Fusion Unit] in the center.

• Internal Link: Fusing mechanics can be tricky. If you are new to this, read our list of [best Roblox anime games] to understand how fusions usually work in the ALS meta.

Wave 6-10:
Protect your Fusion Unit with a [Shield Unit]. The enemies in this trial specifically target units with the highest attack power, which is your Fusion Unit. The Shield Unit absorbs this targeted damage.

Wave 11-15:
Place your [Final Form Goku]. His range should cover the Fusion Unit. The Fusion Unit acts as a tank/dps hybrid, while Goku snipes from afar.

Trial 5: The Last Stand (Nightmare)

This is the final challenge. It combines every mechanic: Armor, Speed, Invisibility, and Economy restrictions.

Recommended Loadout

• DPS 1: [Finality Goku] (or equivalent final form)
• DPS 2: [Mythic Hybrid]
• Support: [Godly Support]
• Utility: [Stun Unit]

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Wave 1-3 (Economy Restriction):
You earn 20% less gold in this trial.

• Action: You must be aggressive. Sell your Farmer after Wave 3. Do not be greedy.
• Placement: Place [Stun Unit] at the very beginning. Every second an enemy is stunned is a second you have to generate interest (if applicable) or setup DPS.

Wave 4-8 (The Chaos):
All enemy types spawn.

• Order of Operations: Upgrade [Godly Support] to Level 3 first. The damage buff is more important than upgrading your main DPS right now.
• Positioning: Place your [Finality Goku] in the “God Spot” (usually the center tile). Place [Mythic Hybrid] to cover the early path.

Wave 9-12 (The Bosses):
There are three mini-bosses in a row.

1. Armor Boss: Handled by [Mythic Hybrid].
2. Speed Boss: Handled by [Stun Unit].
3. Flying Boss: Handled by [Finality Goku].

Wave 13-15 (The Final Boss):
This boss has a “Death Aura” that damages units within close range.

• Strategy: Move all your units back! Do not let them hug the path.
• Execution: By Wave 15, your [Finality Goku] should be fully upgraded (Level 5/6/7 depending on the meta). Use his “Ultimate Ability” (usually unlocked by an orb or leveling) as soon as the boss enters the map. Do not save it.

Pro Tips for All Trials

To master these trials, simply following the steps isn’t enough. Here are some insider tips I’ve learned:

1. Leader Units Matter

Don’t ignore your Leader Unit slot. For the Goku Trials, I recommend using a Leader that provides “Gold Gain” or “Unit Discount.” The extra 10% gold in the first 5 waves is the difference between winning and losing.

• Internal Link: For more general advice on dominating Roblox games, check out [Roblox tips and tricks].

2. Orb Configuration is Key

If you are failing by a sliver of health, check your orbs.

• Early Game: Use Cost Orbs to get units down faster.
• Late Game: Swap them out for Damage Orbs or Burn Orbs. Do not leave Cost Orbs on your main DPS during the boss fight.

3. Don’t Sell Too Early

A common mistake I see is players selling their early-game DPS units (like Trial 1 units) immediately when they place their late-game units. Instead, wait. Keep the early unit until you are 100% sure the new unit covers the wave. If you sell too early, a “leaker” (enemy that gets past) might slip through and cost you the game.

4. Watch the “Next Wave” Timer

Don’t auto-skip waves unless you are 100% confident. Use the time between waves to rearrange units, upgrade traits, or check your orb assignments. Pausing to think saves you from restarting.

Platform-Specific Notes

Playing on Mobile (Android/iOS)

The controls for ALS on mobile can be finicky.

• Zoom: Pinch out to see the whole map. Placing units blindly without zooming often leads to bad placement (not in the center of the tile).
• Orb Menu: It can be small. Make sure you tap carefully so you don’t waste an expensive orb on the wrong unit.

Playing on PC (Roblox Player)

• Keybinds: Use hotkeys if possible. Some macros or scripts (allowed ones via Roblox keybind settings) can upgrade units instantly with ‘U’ or sell with ‘Backspace’. Speed is crucial in Nightmare trials.

FAQ’s

How do I unlock the Goku Last Standian Trials?

Usually, you need to complete all previous Story Mode chapters on Normal or Hard difficulty. Sometimes, specific quests or previous event completion is required.

What are the best units for these trials generally?

While specific trials require specific types, [Finality Goku], [Sol], and [Meliodas] are generally considered the meta units that carry most players through difficult content in 2026.

Can I do these trials solo?

Yes, these trials are designed for Solo play. However, some players prefer co-op (if the mode allows it) to split the cost of units, making economy management easier.

My units are max level but I still lose. Why?

This is usually a strategy issue, not a power issue. Check your Orb setup and your Traits. Also, ensure you are using the right damage type (AoE vs Single Target) for the specific trial.

Are there any codes for these trials?

Developers sometimes release codes for free orbs or gold. Check our [Anime Last Stand Codes March 2026] page for the latest active codes that can give you a boost before starting these trials.

What rewards do I get for completing all trials?

Rewards typically include exclusive Goku Evolution Shards, unique Orbs, and Cosmetics for your avatar. Completion is essential for fully evolving the Goku unit line.

Conclusion

The Goku Last Standian Trials in Anime Last Stand are a true test of skill. They force you to move beyond just placing strong units and actually engage with the game’s deeper mechanics like economy timing, orb synergy, and placement strategy. It took me several attempts to clear Trial 5, but the feeling of seeing that “Victory” screen is unmatched.

Remember, the meta changes constantly. Developers often nerf units or buff enemies in monthly updates. If you find a specific strategy not working, check the official Discord or Reddit (linked below) for the latest shifts in the meta.

Good luck, and I hope you see that “S Rank” drop soon.
