Capsules are one of the most powerful and underused systems in Final Stand Remastered. They act like equipment that changes how you play — utility, movement, resource gains, or even passive combat effects — and unlocking the right ones will often boost your power more than dumping stat points.
This Final Stand Remastered Capsule Guide will help you to understand how to get capsules, which ones matter, best combos, slot management, and farming tips.
How to unlock capsules (practical steps)
Finish Dr. Briefs’ starter quests — this gives you the initial capsule and unlocks the capsule tracker.
Equip the Capsule Tracker (an item in your inventory) and walk up to NPCs: it shows progress (e.g., 5/60). After finishing the required kills, scan the NPC and return to Dr. Briefs to claim the capsule.
Map chests & raid drops — explore and complete raids for unique capsules (some are raid-only or RNG).
Purchases — some capsules (e.g., Garden) are bought from NPC shops (Yajirobe / Bean shop).
Raid scanning — certain raid bosses require scanning (not just kills) to progress their capsule data.
Daily quests — a few capsule grinds are accelerated by daily quests (handy for 10–50 kill caps).
Best capsules
Priority capsules for most players
Beckoning Cat (Zeni) — from Chi Experts
Why: Massive zeni boost on rewards, excellent for funding capsules, upgrades, and vendor buys.
Drawback: Minor combat penalty to some stats (trade-off).
Use: Always equip while farming dailies/raids if you don’t need peak combat performance.
Life / Regen Capsule — (Wild boores / similar)
Why: Passive HP regen even in combat — huge survivability buff.
Use: Great for solo play, low-skill raids, and long PvE sessions.
Key Capsule — (android shield mobs)
Why: Passive key regen when not transformed; essential for androids.
Use: Core for android builds; useful for classes that rely on frequent key use.
Burning Fighter — (Evil Sans)
Why: Big transformation stat boost.
Drawback: Increases key/melee drain while transformed.
Use: Pair with key-regen mitigation (see Dragon Jewel) or accept the drain for huge DPS gains.
Dragon Jewel — (Majins)
Why: Reduces transformation key drain; pairs perfectly with Burning Fighter.
Use: If you want to run two transformation-focused capsules, this is the companion to reduce downtime.
Speed Capsule — (Mad Scientist / periodic dailies)
Why: Adds raw speed — affects M1 combo potential (more hits = better DPS in many builds).
Use: Movement and damage build benefit; combine with Travel or weighted clothing depending on goals.
Rush Down — (Pteranodons)
Why: Improves rush attack speed — top PvP capsule and useful PvE.
Use: PvP-focused players should prioritize this.
Travel Capsule — (Aliens)
Why: Increases top flight speed and acceleration — excellent for map traversal and PvP kiting/chasing.
Use: Pair with Speed for maximum movement.
Utility & niche but valuable capsules
Garden Capsule (Yajirobe / Bean shop) — grow Senzu beans; excellent long-term investment for raid sustainability and profit.
Gravity Chamber — AFK-ish XP / training chamber you place; helpful for steady leveling and push-ups; requires completing many capsule data entries to unlock.
Motorcycle — fun and can make specific quests (e.g., milk quest) much easier; raid/quest unlock.
Defense Capsule (Pirate robot) — flat defensive boost; good when you need extra bulk.
Beam Capsule (Gorilla raid scan) — massively increases beam size; niche but strong for beam-focused players.
Reversal Capsule (raid RNG) — converts M1 key returns into HP regen (or switches resource returns); very powerful in some raid/team setups.
Respawn Capsule (Super Cyberman) — placeable one-time respawn point — situational but clutch for specific quest placements.
Zeny Bank — reduces zeni loss on death heavily; very valuable if you PvP/invade or die often late-game (hard to grind).
Capsules that are conditional / lower value now
Stealth Capsule (Bears) — was strong, but if enemy detection ranges have been nerfed, its usefulness drops. Still handy for early stealth/questing.
Dodge / Charge Vanish capsules — PvP-useful but often require high-level farming (Universal Champion). High reward, high grind.
Weighted Clothing — trades speed for more XP; excellent early-game for fast leveling but not for PvP.
Recommended capsule slot management (two-to-four slots)
Beginners (2 slots): Life/Regen + Zeni (Beckoning Cat) OR Life + Key (if Android). Reason: survivability + economy or resource sustain.
Mid-game (3 slots): Life + Zeni + Key or Burning Fighter + Dragon Jewel + Key (if focusing on transformations).
End-game (4 slots): tailor to role: e.g. Burning Fighter + Dragon Jewel + Travel + Regen for a power/sustain mobile build; PvP players prefer Rush Down + Travel + Speed + Key or Life depending on playstyle.
Slot advice: don’t waste slots on redundant or currently nerfed capsules (e.g., both Stealth + similar passive if one is effectively useless).
Best capsule combos
Burning Fighter + Dragon Jewel: huge transformation power while mitigating key drain.
Key Capsule + Reversal + Life: constant key regen, heal-on-M1 or heal-stacking, strong sustain loop for long fights.
Zeni Capsule + Garden Capsule: use zeni gains to buy garden plots/beans, produce long-term returns and raid supplies.
Speed + Travel: maximal movement for map traversal, faster questing, and PvP chases.
Rush Down + Speed: heavy PvP pressure with faster basic attack throughput.
