Ramen Guy is a No Element · Physical Legendary economy unit. Donbori adds 50% Yen from kills. Capital Lock refunds only 10% of total cost when he is sold, so he is a planned long-run placement—not a temporary unit to panic-sell.
The current banner pool can rotate. Read the live Rates panel before pulling, and use the displayed income panel to confirm that an upgrade actually improves the run.
Ramen Guy economy rules
When to place and upgrade
Do not equip Ramen Guy like a damage carry unless the item clearly improves his actual economy job. The Investor trait is worth considering only after the live income display confirms it affects this unit. For route planning, compare currency farming with the F2P progression guide.
Simple break-even test
- Enter the same mode with the same team twice.
- Record placement and every Ramen Guy upgrade cost.
- Count credited kills and Yen gained by the same wave.
- Subtract total investment from extra Yen.
- Keep the upgrade only if it pays back before the run’s important damage checkpoint.
Common questions
Does Ramen Guy generate passive Yen every wave?
The verified wording here is extra Yen from kills. Do not claim passive wave income unless the current card explicitly shows it.
Should I sell him for the final boss?
Usually the 10% refund makes that inefficient. Compare the tiny refund against the exact emergency upgrade it would buy.
Are exact placement and upgrade costs available?
Not as a complete version-matched chain yet. They are tracked in the unit stats page as controlled-capture fields.
