The release of Anime Vanguards Update 7.0 has brought one of the most anticipated units to the game – Ymir Giant Queen. As someone who’s been grinding this game since launch and successfully obtained Ymir after multiple attempts, I’m here to share everything you need to know about getting this powerful Attack on Titan-inspired unit that’s essential for unlocking Arin’s devastating Rumbling ability.

Quick Ymir Giant Queen Requirements Summary:

Requirement	Details
Required Units	Evolved Arin + Evolved Zeke
Game Mode	Boss Event (Path of Freedom)
Drop Chance	5% per Rumbling activation
Level Requirement	Must complete story prerequisites
Cost	Giant Coins for reinforcements

Why Ymir Giant Queen Matters in Anime Vanguards Update 7.0?

Ymir is important because she is one of the requirements for Arin’s Rumbling form. Without her, you won’t be able to trigger the full power of Rumbling, which is one of the strongest abilities currently available in the game. This makes Ymir not just a collectible unit, but a crucial component for accessing endgame content in the latest update.

The Path of Freedom update has completely transformed the meta, introducing 8 brand-new units! The Earth trembles as The Rumbling awakens – face the crushing weight of two thousand years of rage! Ymir stands out as one of the most sought-after units because she unlocks synergies that can make or break your performance in nightmare difficulty modes.

Prerequisites: What You Need Before Starting?

Essential Units Required

Before you can even attempt to get Ymir Giant Queen, you must have these two evolved units:

1. Evolved Arin

Base Arin must be obtained from normal gameplay
Evolution materials needed (specific items vary)
Must be fully maxed and evolved before attempting Ymir hunt

2. Evolved Zeke (also referred to as Zach)

Another crucial unit for the Rumbling activation
Requires evolution materials from previous content
Must work in tandem with evolved Arin

Story Progression Requirements

You need to have completed sufficient story content to access the boss events. The Path of Freedom event isn’t available to brand new players, so ensure you’ve progressed through the main storyline and can access challenging content.

Resource Preparation

Stock up on:

Giant Coins: For purchasing reinforcements during boss fights
Gems: In case you need to retry multiple times
Gold: For unit upgrades and preparations

How to Get Ymir Giant Queen in Anime Vanguards Update 7?

Step 1: Access the Path of Freedom Boss Event

Once your Arin and Zeke are ready, join the latest boss event in the game. This is the only event that currently gives you a chance to obtain Ymir. Navigate to the boss events section and look for “Path of Freedom” – this is Update 7.0’s flagship content.

The boss event features multiple phases:

Phase 1: Battle against the Ape Giant
Phase 2: Face Arin’s Assault Giant transformation
Phase 3: The ultimate Founding Giant encounter

Step 2: Optimal Team Composition

For maximum efficiency, I recommend this team setup:

Core Team:

Evolved Arin (Position 1): Your primary DPS and Rumbling activator
Evolved Zeke (Position 2): Essential support for Rumbling
Support DPS Unit (Position 3): High-tier unit for additional damage
Tank/Buffer (Position 4): To sustain through difficult phases

Backup Strategy: Have reinforcement units ready. Spend Giant Coins earned in-game on reinforcements, where you can get help from the Reinforced and Nuclear Giants, who use all their might to fend off the oncoming slaughter, or Makoso, who guns straight to the eye of the storm, The Founding Giant!

Step 3: Execute the Rumbling Strategy

This is the critical moment that determines your Ymir drop chance:

Timing is Everything:

Place your evolved Arin in an optimal position for maximum enemy coverage
Ensure Zeke is within range to provide synergy effects
During the boss battle, your goal is to upgrade and activate Arin’s Rumbling ability as fast as possible. The moment you trigger the Rumbling, a 5% chance unlocks for Ymir to drop.

Pro Tips for Success:

Spam Upgrades: Focus all your early gold on maxing Arin’s upgrade levels
Use Reinforcements: You can also use Reinforcements to help speed up the process.
Positioning: Place Arin where he can hit the maximum number of enemies
Timing: Activate Rumbling during high enemy density waves for maximum impact

Step 4: Maximizing Your Drop Chances

Since Ymir Drop Chance: 5% per successful Rumbling activation, you’ll likely need multiple attempts. Here’s how to optimize your farming:

Efficient Farming Strategy:

Quick Runs: Focus on reaching Rumbling activation as fast as possible
Multiple Attempts: Since the drop is low, you may need to repeat the boss event several times.
Resource Management: Don’t waste too much on single runs; consistent attempts are better

When to Use Nightmare Mode: Anyone daring enough to brave Nightmare Mode, will be pitted against the Founding Giant completely alone! With no allies, or reinforcements, victory is almost out of reach. Only attempt this if you’re confident in your team’s capabilities, as the drop rates remain the same but difficulty spikes dramatically.

Understanding Update 7.0’s New Mechanics

The Rumbling System Explained

The Rumbling isn’t just a flashy ability – it’s a complex mechanic that requires perfect timing and positioning. When activated:

Arin transforms into his assault giant form
Massive AOE damage affects all enemies on screen
Special visual effects trigger (the signature rumbling earthquake)
A 5% chance for Ymir to drop is activated

New Enemy Mechanics to Watch For

Update 7.0 introduced challenging new enemy types:

Depleted Modifier: Any hits on an enemy with the Depleted mutator will completely drain any meter or gauge of the attacking unit. This can seriously impact your Rumbling charge time.
Blinded Modifier: Any hits on an enemy with the Blinded mutator will reduce the attacking unit’s range by 5%. Position your units carefully to avoid range reduction.

Giant Coins and Reinforcement Strategy

The new currency system allows for strategic reinforcement calls:

Reinforced Giants: Provide sustained damage support
Nuclear Giants: Massive burst damage capabilities
Makoso: Specialized anti-Founding Giant unit

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Inadequate Unit Preparation

Don’t attempt Ymir farming with under-evolved units. Both Arin and Zeke MUST be fully evolved, or you won’t be able to activate Rumbling at all.

2. Poor Resource Management

Spending all your Giant Coins on expensive reinforcements in early waves leaves you vulnerable during the crucial Founding Giant phase.

3. Wrong Positioning

Placing Arin in a corner or low-traffic area severely reduces his Rumbling effectiveness and enemy elimination potential.

4. Rushing the Process

While you want to activate Rumbling quickly, rushing without proper unit positioning often leads to failed runs.

5. Ignoring Nightmare Mode Rewards

Players who dare face this can earn either Elemental Shards or Corruption Crystals at a 10% chance, and Phoenix Shards with a 7.5% chance. These materials are valuable for other evolutions.

2026 Advanced Strategies for Experienced Players

The Speed Run Method

For players who’ve mastered the boss event:

Start with maximum efficiency units
Rush to Rumbling activation within the first 10 waves
Use pre-planned reinforcement timing
Reset immediately after Rumbling if no Ymir drop

The Nightmare Challenge

If you’re confident in your abilities:

Solo nightmare mode provides the same drop rates
Additional rare material rewards
Extreme difficulty but maximum prestige

Team Coordination Tips

For multiplayer attempts:

Designate one player as the “Rumbling activator”
Others focus on support and crowd control
Coordinate Giant Coin usage
Share reinforcement costs strategically
