The release of Update 9.0 has brought a major shake-up to the Anime Vanguards landscape. Surprisingly, the biggest game-changer isn’t a flashy new six-cost unit—it’s a brilliantly crafted familiar known as the 24 Karat Gold Labubu Yuruzuu. A gilded twist on the popular Labubu and Yuruzuu characters, this familiar has become the new must-have tool for players chasing efficient grinding and boosted elemental damage.

What Makes This Familiar Special? Stats & Performance

The 24K Gold Labubu Yuruzuu is a Vanguard Familiar, a category known for enhancing your deployed units with valuable buffs. This one focuses on two areas that matter more than ever in the current meta: Gold Gain and Elemental Damage.

Massive Gold / Money Gain Boost

One of the standout perks is the familiar’s large increase to the amount of Gold you earn from defeating enemies.

Why It’s Important:

  • Ideal for players grinding expensive upgrades.
  • Synergizes exceptionally well with Takaroda, one of the strongest money-scaling units in the game.
  • Helps early-game players catch up and late-game players upgrade faster than ever.

Elemental Damage Increase

The familiar gives a significant buff to elemental damage, typically rolling between 5% and 10%.

  • Corruption Bonus: By corrupting the familiar (up to C4), you can stack the same elemental roll—Fire, Water, Cosmic, etc.—and push the damage buff even higher.
  • Lucky players have reported corruption rolls hitting 20%+, making it a powerhouse option.

Overall Verdict

If you haven’t secured one of the ultra-rarity familiars like Birb, this is the perfect stepping stone. It offers a strong balance of utility and offense, making it one of the best all-around familiars introduced so far.

How to Get the 24K Gold Labubu Yuruzuu

Compared to high-end raid familiars, this one is refreshingly farmable. It was introduced alongside a dedicated stage in Update 9.0, making it accessible to players who put in the grind.

The Farming Strategy

  • Locate the stage in Story or Legend Mode that drops the base Yuruzuu Familiar.
  • The golden version is a rarer variant, but it drops from the same stage.
  • Most players are running this stage repeatedly in quick, low-stress loops to maximize the number of familiars obtained per hour.

RNG & Perfect Rolls

Getting one familiar is easy compared to getting a good one.

To land:

  • A high elemental buff
  • A perfect corruption percentage
  • And an ideal combination of traits

…you’ll need to grind hundreds or even thousands of drops.

Trading Market Insight

Because it’s farmable yet powerful, the 24K Gold Labubu Yuruzuu has exploded in trading demand.

  • Familiars with Perfect 15% C3 or higher elemental bonuses are currently trading for premium value.
  • Players who land high corruption rolls are making massive profits.
