How to Get Tony Tony Chopper in Anime Vanguards

Update 10 Part 2 finally introduces a brand new secret familiar, and it completely changes how support and DPS scaling works. Tony Tony Chopper, also known as The Doctor, is not just a stat booster — he adds entirely new debuff mechanics that let you bypass shields, regen, and resistances across multiple game modes.

This familiar is one of the most valuable support tools currently available in the game.

How to Obtain Chopper (The Doctor Familiar)

Chopper is obtained from the Happy Factory Raid.

You can obtain him from both raid acts:

Act 1 drop chance – 2%
Act 2 drop chance – 50%

Act 2 is significantly faster but requires proper mechanical play. Act 1 is slower but can be farmed casually.

Core Passives

Chopper has two main passives.

Doctor’s Touch
This passive changes its effect depending on the corruption tier rolled.

Human Understanding
Increases the equipped unit’s damage and range.
Roll values can reach up to 30% damage and range depending on corruption tier.

Corruption Effects Explained

Chopper can roll one of four corruption types, and each one completely changes what Doctor’s Touch does.

Corruption 1 – Nullify

Allows the equipped unit to apply Nullify.

Nullify removes enemy mechanics and damage resistances.
This is extremely strong in Elemental Tower and shield-heavy stages.

Corruption 2 – Rupture

Allows the equipped unit to apply Rupture.

Rupture disables regeneration and healing effects on enemies.
This enables progression in Fire and Spark Elemental Towers that were previously very difficult to climb.

Corruption 3 – Cost Reduction

Reduces the equipped unit’s placement and upgrade costs.
This version also boosts the maximum damage and range roll.

This is the best corruption for main DPS units that you want to max quickly.

Corruption 4 – Shield Breaker

Each hit deals five additional hits to shields.

This allows both slow heavy hitters and multi-hit units to shred shielded enemies instantly.

Chopper introduces mechanics that were previously limited to specific elements or unit types and makes them available to any unit you choose.

He lets you:

• Disable regeneration
• Ignore damage resistances
• Destroy shields instantly
• Reduce unit costs
• Gain massive stat boosts

This makes him mandatory for late-game towers, raids, infinite modes, and boss content.

Best Use Recommendations

Use Corruption 1 or 2 on support units.
Use Corruption 3 on your main DPS.
Use Corruption 4 for shield-heavy content or single-hit burst units.

Chopper is one of the most impactful familiars released so far. Farming multiple copies with different corruption types gives you full coverage for nearly every end-game scenario.
