How to Obtain Sasuke (Great War)

To acquire the base unit, players have two primary pathways. The first is farming Act 5 of the Shinobi Battlefield Raid, which features a low base drop rate but rewards players with essential evolution materials. The second, and highly recommended path for solo players, is the Boss Rush mode. Boss Rush offers a significantly higher drop rate and a built-in pity mechanic that guarantees the unit after a set number of successful completions.
| Method | Drop Rate | Pity System | Key Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shinobi Battlefield Act 5 | 3.0% | None | Spirited Ribcage, Mounts |
| Boss Rush Stage | 10.0% | Guaranteed at 15 clears | High Gold, Sasuke base unit |
If you are struggling with low drop rates in the raid stages, focus entirely on Boss Rush. The 15-clear pity system ensures you will obtain the base unit in under an hour of efficient gameplay.
Evolution Requirements & Etherealization Path
Evolving Sasku (War) into Sasku (Great War) is a straightforward process in the 2.0 update. A major quality-of-life improvement has completely removed the requirement to get thousands of eliminations to trigger the evolution. Instead, players only need to gather the correct fragments, the exclusive ribcage item, and a gold fee.
| Material Name | Quantity Required | Primary Source |
|---|---|---|
| Burning Fragment | 10 | Fire element stages |
| Universal Fragment | 3 | Weekly challenges or shop |
| Spirited Cage [Ribcage] | 1 | Shinobi Battlefield Act 5 (4% drop) |
| Phantom Fragment | 6 | Phantom raid challenges |
| Gold | 25,000 | Story stages or Etherealization converter |
Once evolved, players can invest in Etherealization to unlock powerful stat boosts and passive modifications. This system allows you to customize Sasuke's combat performance to fit high-wave Infinite Mode setups.
| Tier | Upgrade Effect | Gameplay Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | +10 Stat Points | General stat boost |
| Tier 2 | Dimensional Warp HP to 40% | Faster execution threshold |
| Tier 3 | +10 Stat Points | Additional scaling |
| Tier 4 | Spirited Cage Stun Req to 3 | Faster true damage activation |
| Tier 5 | +10 Stat Points | Maximum stat optimization |
| Tier 6 | Full Susanoo Damage to 150% | Massive late-game DPS burst |
Always ensure you roll high-grade base stats (preferably SSS or SS) on your Sasuke unit before investing in Etherealization. The percentage multipliers from Etherealization scale directly off these base values.
Stats, Upgrades, & Cost Analysis
Sasuke (Great War) functions as a ground-based DPS unit with Dark element scaling. His attack shape cycles dynamically as he is upgraded, shifting from a standard circle to a wide cone. This makes him exceptionally versatile at handling both single targets and massive enemy clusters. Crucially, he transforms into a hybrid unit at Upgrade 3, allowing him to target air units.
| Upgrade Level | Cost | SSS Damage | SPA | Range | Total Investment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deploy | 2,000 | 264 | 7.20s | 27 | 2,000 |
| Upgrade 1 | 3,000 | 696 | 7.20s | 31 | 5,000 |
| Upgrade 2 | 9,500 | 1,140 | 7.20s | 34 | 14,500 |
| Upgrade 3 | 12,500 | 2,016 | 8.10s | 38 | 27,000 |
| Upgrade 4 | 18,500 | 2,940 | 8.10s | 42 | 45,500 |
| Upgrade 5 | 23,500 | 3,600 | 8.10s | 48 | 69,000 |
Sasuke's kit is packed with powerful passives. His Spirited Cage passive grants him a charge every time he applies a stun. Upon reaching maximum charges, he gains 50% true damage and stun immunity for 10 seconds. Additionally, his Dimensional Warp passive deals 300% instant damage to bosses that fall below 30% health, applying a continuous Blackburn effect until they are defeated.
Sasuke becomes a hybrid unit at Upgrade 3. This is a critical milestone during Infinite Mode runs, allowing you to counter early air threats without relying on dedicated anti-air placements.
Best Builds: Traits, Relics, and Accessories
To maximize Sasuke's combat efficiency, you must equip him with gear and traits that complement his crowd control capabilities and damage scaling. The current meta heavily favors reduction in Seconds Per Attack (SPA) to trigger stuns more frequently.
Best Trait: Eternal
- SPA Reduction: Reduces base SPA by 20% for faster attacks.
- Scaling Buffs: Grants +5% damage and +2.5% range every wave.
- Maximum Cap: Caps at +60% damage and +30% range.
Alternative Trait: Ruler
- Raw Power: Provides massive flat damage multipliers.
- Attack Speed: Generates high-frequency stuns.
- Placement Synergy: Excellent for early-wave defense.
Relic Set: Rebellious Shinobi
- Top Piece: Rebellious Shinobi Shirt (Damage).
- Bottom Piece: Rebellious Shinobi Pants (Crit Rate).
- Set Bonus: Grants 30% extra damage for 10 seconds upon applying crowd control.
Best Accessory: Biju Necklace
- Elemental Boost: Increases Dark elemental damage.
- Utility Scaling: Enhances active ability stun durations.
- Meta Choice: The premier choice for late-game Infinite Mode.
When optimizing your relics and accessories, prioritize SPA on your top gear slot and Crit Rate on your bottom gear slot. High attack speed ensures Sasuke constantly triggers his stuns, maximizing the uptime of his true damage passive.
Sasuke & Naruto Synchro Drive Fusion
The Synchro Drive mechanic allows Sasuke (Great War) to fuse with Naruto (Beast) mid-match, creating the Unparalleled Armor (Susanoo Kurama) unit. This fusion combines the defensive utilities of Sasuke with the explosive buffs of Naruto, resulting in one of the strongest setups in the game.
Deploy Both Units
Place both Sasuke (Great War) and Naruto (Beast) on the battlefield during a match. Ensure they are placed within range of your primary support units.
Charge Naruto's Chakra
Allow Naruto to attack enemies until his Chakra Control passive reaches 100%. This automatically triggers his transformation into Beast Mode.
Trigger Synchro Drive
Select the fusion option on the unit interface to merge Sasuke and Naruto into the Unparalleled Armor unit.
Synchro Drive Requirements:
- Sasuke (Great War) deployed on the field
- Naruto (Beast) deployed on the field
- Naruto's Chakra fully charged to 100%
- Top-tier trait rolled on Sasuke (the fusion inherits Sasuke's trait)
The fused Unparalleled Armor unit inherits the trait of the Sasuke unit used in the fusion. Because of this, it is highly recommended to roll a top-tier trait like Eternal or Ruler on Sasuke before initiating the fusion.
