Homunculus is the currency in Anime Last Stand’s Fullmetal-themed update, used to buy limited-time units, evo materials, and other essentials without relying on banner luck. With enough currency, you can purchase Shaky Prince, Tattooed Alchemist, and Kind King alongside core evo pieces. So, to help you get your hands on it, here's a complete guide on how to get and use Homunculus in ALS.
How to Get Homunculus in Anime Last Stand
You can get Homunculus through two methods in Anime Last Stand. Namely, from the Time Chamber and from Alchemy Trials. Alchemy Trials is a new mode that replaces cash with Alchemy Energy for placing and upgrading units during the run.
You need to clear 25 waves of the Alchemy Trials to get a full completion. Finishing rewards you with Homunculus that you can spend in the update shop.
Typical rewards from Alchemy Trials range from about 5,000 to 5,600 Homunculus per successful attempt. Beyond active play, the Time Chamber grants Homunculus passively while AFK, often reaching 6,000 to 10,000 or more depending on session length.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Try to get the featured units if you want the best value, then buy their matching evo materials. Next, pick up any missing resources for evolution. After your core purchases, use the remaining Homunculus on Essence Selectors and Perfect Stat Cubes.
Kind King is the best to buy. Its infinite range and high single‑target damage make it the strongest grab from this shop for most players, especially for bosses and tough wave anchors.
Clear 25 waves in Alchemy Trials. A successful run typically pays ~5,000–5,600 Homunculus. Queue duo or trio for faster clears. You can optimize your gains by using the Time Chamber between sessions to rake in extra ~6,000–10,000.
