These units are not just cosmetic upgrades – they’re game-changers that can significantly boost your gameplay experience. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just starting, this guide will help you acquire and master these powerful units efficiently.
How to Get Padoru?
The Christmas update brings back the classic Padoru and introduces its evolved form. Let’s break down exactly how to obtain both versions.
1. Padoru (Original)
For those who missed the original Padoru or want to experience the classic version, here’s how to get it:
- Location: Xmas Shop
- Method: Purchase directly
- Cost: ~300,000 Gingerbread
- Rarity: 6% chance to appear in the shop rotation
- Requirements: No quest needed, just sufficient Gingerbread
Pro Tip: The original Padoru spawns randomly in the Xmas Shop rotation. If you don’t see it immediately, don’t worry – keep checking back every few hours. The 6% spawn rate means it should appear within 16-17 shop rotations on average.
2. Padoru V2 (The Main Star)
Padoru V2 is where the real power lies, but obtaining it requires more effort. Here’s the complete step-by-step process:
Prerequisites
- Level Requirement: 13,000+ levels (for some codes that help)
- Resources: 500,000+ Gingerbread total
- Time: Several hours of gameplay
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Find Santa Saber
- NPC Location: Santa Saber only spawns during DAYTIME
- Identification: Look for a festive NPC with a saber weapon
- Timing: If it’s nighttime in-game, wait for the sun to rise
Step 2: Complete the Questline Santa Saber will give you a series of quests that must be completed:
- Defeat Specific Bosses: Check your quest log for exact targets
- Obtain the Santa Bag: This is a key quest item
- Purchase Christmas Heart: Costs 200,000 Gingerbread from the Xmas Shop
- Final Requirement: Have exactly 300,000 Gingerbread in your inventory when claiming
Step 3: Resource Management You’ll need a total of approximately 500,000 Gingerbread:
- 200,000 for Christmas Heart
