Copycat is the Yuta Okkotsu spec added to Anime Apocalypse with The Cursed Kid Update on September 26, 2026. It arrives alongside the Cursed Shibuya raid and pairs a sword-based moveset with a large Rika summon that trails behind your avatar. What sets it apart from other specs is a copy mechanic that lets you borrow moves from the other abilities you own.
Quick answer: Spend 2,500 Cursed Coins at the Cursed Shibuya Raid Shop to buy Copycat, or get it immediately in a Robux bundle for 960 or 1,600 R$. Owning Copycat also awards the title The Cursed Child/Kid.
What the Copycat spec is
Copycat is an exclusive ability slotted into your loadout like any other spec. Equipping it spawns a fully modeled Rika entity that stays attached behind the player and joins in on certain skills. The build leans on a cursed katana for close-range slashes, with skills mapped to the standard Z, X, C, and V keys plus an awakening ultimate.
The defining trait is its C skill, which opens a menu to steal and cast moves from other specs you have equipped. That flexibility is why it slots into the top damage-and-raid tier while sitting one step lower for pure survival runs.
How to unlock Copycat
Copycat is tied to the Cursed Shibuya raid. Clearing the raid earns Cursed Coins, and the ability is stocked in that raid’s shop for 2,500 Cursed Coins. The same shop sells the matching gear and pet, so a single grind can outfit the whole set.
| Cursed Shibuya Raid Shop | Cost |
|---|---|
| Copycat (ability) | 2,500 Cursed Coins |
| Cursed Uniform | 2,500 Cursed Coins |
| Cursed Sheath | 1,500 Cursed Coins |
| Partial Manifestation (pet) | 1,500 Cursed Coins |
If you would rather skip the grind, two Robux bundles include the ability; the smaller purchases cover the Cursed Uniform cosmetic and cursed energy only.
| Robux bundle | Price |
|---|---|
| Pure Love Bundle | 1,600 R$ |
| Copycat Bundle | 960 R$ |
| Cursed Uniform Bundle | 400 R$ |
| Cursed Energy Pack | 80 R$ |

Copycat moveset
The kit mixes standard sword combos with two mobility-focused strikes, a copy option, and a heavy area finisher. Basic attacks are a chain of sword slashes and a lunging slash that clears enemies clustered in front of you.
| Key | Skill | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Z | Unmatched Velocity | Directional dash rush that damages every target in its path |
| X | Destructive Smash | Short-range leaping ground slam |
| C | Give me everything | Rika strikes, then a menu opens to copy a move from another equipped spec |
| V | Die | Cursed speech megaphone triggers an AOE explosion and sends Rika to auto-attack |
| Awakening | Copycat | Ultimate cutscene: Yuta and Rika unleash the Pure Love Beam directly forward |
Unmatched Velocity on Z is the workhorse. It sends you forward through a group and damages everything you pass, which keeps the spec moving between kills.
The C skill, Give me everything, is the reason the spec is named Copycat. Rika lands a slam, and a selection menu appears so you can pull a move from another spec in your inventory and cast it on the spot. Aizen’s and Akaza’s skills, for example, can be pulled through this menu and fired on the spot.
Using V, called Die, brings out a cursed speech megaphone, causing a large explosion and ordering Rika to continue attacking nearby enemies on her own. For the awakening ultimate, a close-up cutscene shows Yuta and Rika sending the Pure Love Beam straight forward, accompanied by the line “DON’T WORRY, I’M THE STRONGEST.”
Gear, pet, and title stats
The update adds three cosmetics, one pet, and a title that all reinforce the Copycat build. The gear covers the same stat spread of damage, health, walkspeed, coins, EXP, drops, and cooldown reduction, with the Love Ring carrying the highest raw damage.
| Item | Rarity | Damage | Health |
|---|---|---|---|
| Love Ring | Majestic | +185% | +250 |
| Cursed Uniform | Majestic | +180% | +225 |
| Cursed Sheath | Supreme | +175% | +200 |
| Partial Manifestation (pet) | Majestic | +72% | +120 |
The Partial Manifestation pet adds a rare bonus for this set: +3% Lifesteal on top of +30% drops, +30% coins, +72% damage, +25% EXP, +10 speed, and +120 HP. That sustain is what keeps it ranked in the meta pet tier.
Owning Copycat also grants the title The Cursed Kid, which provides +200% Damage, +150 Health, +8 Walkspeed, +40% Coins, +35% EXP, +15% Drops, and +5% CD Reduction. There is no extra objective to chase, since the title unlocks the moment you own the ability.
Where Copycat lands in the meta
For damage and raid content, Copycat sits in the S tier alongside specs like Joe Kid, King of Greed, and ELF Mage. For survival runs it drops to A tier, grouped with the Ghost of Shinobi and The Impaler, because its strength is burst and copy flexibility rather than sustained wave defense.
The gear and pet also rank highly on their own. Love Ring, Cursed Uniform, and Cursed Sheath all land in the meta cosmetic tier, and Partial Manifestation is treated as a meta pet thanks to its lifesteal. Pairing the spec with the Mythic trait Flash, which adds +50% attack, +15% attack speed, +8 walkspeed, and +6% cooldown reduction, rounds out a fast, high-output build.
