Recruiting Top-Tier Anime Expeditions Units

Navigating the recruitment of anime expeditions units requires a balance between gem summoning and dedicated raid farming. While the standard banner features Mythic units like Uta, Megumi, and Doflamingo, the true endgame power lies in Secret Raid units. These units, such as Kenpachi (referred to as Kachi), have extremely low drop rates, often as low as 0.1%, making them the ultimate goal for competitive players.

Summoning Tip

If you are targeting a specific Mythic like Uta, ensure you have enough gems to reach the pity threshold. In the current 2026 meta, saving for a "Secret Pick" build-up is more efficient than random single pulls.

The Trait System: Unbound vs. Primordial

Traits define the ceiling of your anime expeditions units. A unit with a basic trait will always be outperformed by one with a Mythic-tier modifier. The current meta focuses heavily on the Unbound trait, which is widely considered the best-in-slot for pure damage dealers. However, other traits like Primordial offer unique advantages depending on your placement strategy and unit count.

Unbound Trait

  • Highest Damage Scaling
  • Essential for Secret units
  • Rare 1% reroll chance

Primordial Trait

  • Placement Efficiency
  • Better for limited unit slots
  • High base stat consistency

Godly Trait

  • Balanced Stats
  • Easier to obtain than Unbound
  • Reliable for mid-tier Mythics

Reroll Caution

Do not waste your Reroll Tokens on Legendary units. Save them exclusively for Mythic or Secret units. Obtaining Unbound can take hundreds of rolls, so resource management is critical.

Unit Ascension and Evolution Guide

To reach the maximum potential of your anime expeditions units, you must utilize the Ascension system. Unlike simple leveling, Ascension requires duplicate units and specific Sprites to unlock higher stat tiers. For Mythic units, reaching Max Ascension involves sacrificing multiple copies, which emphasizes the need for efficient gem farming.

1

Obtain Base Unit

Secure your target Mythic or Secret unit through summoning or raids.

2

Collect Sprites

Farm the required elemental Sprites from daily challenge stages.

3

Merge Duplicates

Use the Ascension menu to combine duplicates. Note: You typically need 3 units for a full ascension cycle.

4

Evolve to Final Form

Craft specific evolution items (like the Shinagami Sword for Kachi) to unlock the unit's true form.

Ascension LevelRequirementBenefit
Tier 11 Duplicate + Sprites+15% Base Damage
Tier 21 Duplicate + Sprites+25% Damage, +10% Range
Max Tier1 Duplicate + Rare SpritesUnlocks Special Passive scaling
Evolution Tip

Always lock your main units before performing bulk Ascensions. It is very easy to accidentally sacrifice a high-stat unit if you are not paying attention to the selection screen.

Kenpachi (Kachi) Passives and Equipment

The Kachi unit serves as the gold standard for anime expeditions units in 2026. Beyond its raw damage, its passives make it a monster in both wave clearing and boss fights. When equipped with specialized gear like the Shinagami Sword, Kachi gains unique abilities that trigger based on enemy health or stun status.

Passive NameEffect DescriptionTrigger Condition
Berserk StateIncreases DMG / Decreases SPAAfter 25 Takedowns (15s duration)
Range BleedEnemies take 5% DMG every 1sWithin 40% of unit range
Stun CleanseImmediately removes stunWhen unit is stunned
Follow-up100% DMG extra attackEnemy health falls below 10%

Equipment: Shinagami Sword

  • Unique Passive: Enhances the 'Follow-up' attack damage.
  • Stat Boost: Provides a flat increase to Range and Attack Speed.

Equipment: Raid Totems

  • Multiplier: Grants a 1.9x damage boost in raid stages.
  • Cost: 75 Spirit Tokens per totem.
Combat Mechanic

Kachi's AOE changes from a cone to a full circle as you upgrade him in-game. This makes him exceptionally powerful in corners where he can hit multiple lanes simultaneously.

Endgame Raid Strategies and Farming

Farming for the best anime expeditions units requires a coordinated approach to raids. Higher-tier raids are difficult to solo unless you have a Max Ascended Secret unit with an Unbound trait. Most players should focus on cooperative play, utilizing specialized supports to slow enemies while the main DPS units ramp up their damage.

Raid StageToken RewardDifficultyRecommended Units
Kachi Raid 115 TokensModerate2x Mythic DPS, 1x Support
Kachi Raid 215 TokensHard3x Mythic DPS, 1x Slow
Kachi Raid 315 TokensExtremeUnbound Kachi / Max Megumi

Raid Preparation Checklist:

  • Purchase Raid Totems for the 1.9x damage multiplier
  • Equip your main DPS with Unbound or Primordial traits
  • Bring at least one support unit like Rukia for CC
  • Ensure all units are at least Level 50
  • Coordinate placement with teammates to cover spawn points
Efficiency Secret

Buying the Raid Totems is a "stretch" at 75 tokens, but they are mandatory for fast farming. They reduce clear times by over a minute per run, which is vital when grinding for a 0.1% drop.

Anime Expeditions Units FAQ

Q: What is the best trait for anime expeditions units?

The Unbound trait is currently the best for damage dealers, offering the highest scaling. Primordial is a strong second choice for units with multiple placement slots.

Q: How do I get the Kachi Secret unit?

Kachi is a rare 0.1% drop from the Kachi Raid stages. You can increase your chances by completing the higher difficulty stages or reaching the pity threshold after 35 runs.

Q: Is it better to summon for Uta or Megumi?

Megumi is generally preferred for high-wave defense due to his scaling, while Uta provides excellent utility. Both are top-tier Mythics in the 2026 meta.

Q: How many duplicates are needed for Max Ascension?

You typically need the base unit plus two duplicates (total of three) along with various Sprites to reach the maximum Ascension level.

Final Advice

Focus on building a balanced team. While having a Secret unit like Kachi is powerful, you won't survive the hardest raids without supports and a solid trait setup on all your anime expeditions units.
