Update 8.5 didn’t just add another story map—it delivered a brand-new dungeon mode. The Frozen Volcano mixes high risk with high reward, offering players a brutal but rewarding grind for limited-time units and rare resources.

Unlike some older maps, there’s no hidden quest or rare item needed to unlock it—it’s available to everyone right after updating your client to the latest version. The real challenge isn’t getting in.

How to Access the Frozen Volcano

Getting started is straightforward, but don’t mistake easy entry for easy wins. Here’s what you need:

  1. Update Your Game → Make sure you’re running the latest version (Update 8.5).
  2. Head to the Map Select Area → You’ll see Frozen Volcano listed among the dungeon choices.
  3. Check Your Level & Units → While it’s not locked behind a specific quest, this is a high-tier dungeon. Most players recommend being at least Level 40+ with a roster of maxed-out units before attempting it.

Quick tip: Don’t waste time searching for keys or quests—this dungeon is unlocked by default. Focus your energy on team building and strategy.

Why Grind the Frozen Volcano?

So why is everyone braving this icy inferno? Simple—the rewards are unmatched.

  • Vanguard Broly → The highlight of Update 8.5, this powerhouse unit is obtainable through Frozen Volcano clears. Whether you get the materials or the unit drop itself, Broly is the reason players keep running this dungeon.
  • Exclusive Resources → Expect boosted drops of Gems, Iced Tea, Stat Chips, and other rare items needed to strengthen your META squad.

If you’re aiming to stay competitive, farming this dungeon is a must.

Top Farming Strategies

Community-tested tactics are already emerging to make the grind more efficient:

  • Frieza & Cadets AFK Method → Place Frieza and rely on his ability to spawn Alien Cadets, who can steadily chip away at enemies and bosses. This setup is popular for long farming sessions where you don’t want to micromanage every wave.
  • Solo Carry Runs → For high-level players with fully upgraded Vanguard units, solo clears are possible. Prioritize characters with strong AoE and long range to keep waves under control while dishing out heavy boss damage.

Both methods highlight the versatility of the dungeon—whether you’re grinding casually or going for high-efficiency clears, there’s a strategy for you.
