The Fire Force update in Anime Rangers X introduced one of the most important farming stages currently in the game — Great Cataclysm. This stage is the main way players farm Sol Tokens, which are required if you want to unlock Ranger Shinra.
At first glance the stage can look difficult because the boss has mechanics that wipe your units and punish certain strategies. But once you understand how the stage works and what type of team performs best, it becomes a very consistent farm that can be cleared in around two minutes per run.
This guide explains the farming strategy, the team composition used by experienced players, and how the boss mechanics actually work so you can farm Sol Tokens efficiently.
How to Farm Cataclysm & Get Ranger Shinra in Re Rangers X
Great Cataclysm is the main event stage introduced during the Fire Force update.
This stage rewards Sol Tokens, which are used to obtain event units like Ranger Shinra. Because Shinra is one of the most desirable units in the update, players are repeatedly grinding this stage to collect enough tokens.
Unlike normal stages, this one has several mechanics designed to disrupt your team, including a boss ability that wipes units.
The key to farming it quickly is building a team that can:
- Deal strong damage to fire enemies
- Survive boss mechanics
- Recover quickly after wipes
Once those conditions are met, the stage becomes much easier to repeat.
Why Ice Units Are Extremely Important
One of the most useful strategies in this event is using Ice-type units.
Most enemies in the Great Cataclysm stage are fire-type, which means ice characters deal increased damage against them.
A commonly used main damage dealer is Soul Reaper, mainly because of his strong abilities and type advantage.
Some of his strengths include:
- A 50% chance to stun enemies for four seconds
- Increasing damage as he defeats enemies
- Bonus damage against bosses
- Scaling buffs that grow stronger during the run
Because of these traits, Soul Reaper often acts as the main carry unit for this event.
The Support Unit That Boosts Your Entire Team
Another key unit often used in this farm setup is Virtual Sorceress.
While she is not the primary damage dealer, she provides extremely valuable team buffs that significantly increase overall damage output.
Her abilities allow her to:
- Grant 10% damage buffs to allies
- Double the next ability damage for teammates
- Heal and recover HP
- Provide temporary speed and damage boosts
Even though she may not deal huge damage herself, her buffs can dramatically improve the performance of your main DPS units.
Meat Shield Units and Why They Matter
The Great Cataclysm boss has a mechanic where it can wipe units once its HP reaches certain thresholds.
Because of this, players often bring fast or disposable units that can act as meat shields.
One example used in many teams is Night King Chaos. This unit isn’t brought for damage but instead for its speed and ability to absorb hits.
These types of characters help delay enemies while your stronger units deal damage safely.
Powerful Damage Units Used in the Strategy
Besides Soul Reaper, several other powerful units are commonly used in the farming team.
Gojo
Gojo is considered one of the strongest units in the game and is often used for his survivability and damage scaling.
Some of his strongest mechanics include:
- Reviving after a fatal hit
- Becoming immune to certain effects
- Increasing damage and range after each ability activation
- Stunning enemies across the map
His ultimate ability can also deal massive damage depending on whether his revival ability has already activated.
Sukuna
Even though the stage has mechanics that interact with burn effects, many players still use Sukuna because of his extremely high damage output.
His abilities apply bleed and burn effects that damage enemies over time. He also gains additional damage whenever enemies enter his attack range.
However, one mechanic in the stage causes enemies that die while burned to revive as stronger enemies.
Because of this, some players experiment with running the stage without Sukuna, though many still include him due to his raw power.
The Boss Mechanics You Need to Understand
The Great Cataclysm boss has several abilities that make the stage seem harder than it actually is.
The most important mechanic is Hero Kick.
Every time the boss loses 25% of its HP, it triggers a special attack that can wipe deployed units and temporarily prevent new units from being deployed.
At first this sounds like a disaster, but it actually works in your favor in some cases.
Because units are wiped, you can redeploy them fully upgraded, which helps them scale quickly again.
The stage is also quite long, which means you usually have enough time to rebuild your team before enemies reach the base.
Farming Sol Tokens Efficiently
Once you defeat the boss, the stage rewards Sol Tokens.
A successful run typically grants around 100 Sol Tokens, making this one of the fastest ways to farm the event currency.
If your runs take about two minutes each, you can collect tokens very quickly over time.
Many players simply AFK farm the stage by running the same setup repeatedly.
Because of that, the goal isn’t necessarily the fastest possible run, but a consistent and stable strategy.
AFK Farming vs Manual Farming
Most players farming the event aren’t actually playing the stage manually.
Instead, they rely on semi-AFK strategies where the team automatically clears the stage with minimal input.
Manual play allows you to activate ultimates and abilities at optimal times, which can speed up runs slightly. However, for long farming sessions, AFK strategies are usually more practical.
That’s why many team setups focus on units that deal strong passive or automatic damage.
The Great Cataclysm stage might seem overwhelming at first, especially when the boss wipes your units unexpectedly.
But once you understand the mechanics and build a team around ice damage, strong support buffs, and durable units, the stage becomes a reliable farming method.
With consistent runs taking only a couple of minutes, collecting Sol Tokens becomes much easier, and unlocking Ranger Shinra becomes a realistic goal rather than a long grind.
For players willing to put in the farming time, this stage is currently the best path toward one of the strongest event units in Anime Rangers X.
