How to Summon New Units in Anime Crusaders

You can obtain new units in Anime Crusaders by summoning them on regular and limited banners in the Summon area of the main lobby. Usually, each banner requires a different currency to summon units from it. Also, every banner has its own pity counter, which lets you get a guaranteed rare unit after a certain number of spins. Some units are obtainable in other modes, such as Raids, Infinity Rooms, Events, and Portals.

Evolving and Upgrading Units Guide

To evolve a unit in Anime Crusaders, you will need to collect specific materials and defeat a certain number of enemies with that unit. Most units require elemental stones to evolve them, which can be obtained from Challenge stages. Evolved units are much stronger, so it is recommended to evolve your mythic units as soon as possible.

There are several ways to improve your units, including rerolling their stats, traits, and curses. Traits and stat grades can significantly boost the DPS of your unit, and you can reroll them in the Evolve area. Curses can be rerolled at the Sukuna NPC. However, compared to traits, they are a double-edged sword because a bad curse can significantly reduce the DPS of your unit.
