Evolution guide

Anime Expeditions Evolution Guide

Map out upgrade materials before you farm, and verify disputed requirements before you spend them.

Upgrade room

How evolution works

Enter the Upgrades Room from the lobby courtyard and use the Evolve portal. Select the owned base unit, then compare the required Gold, unit item, Sprites, and Rainbow Sprites before confirming.

Confirm before spending. Recipes can change. We do not list True Saint's recipe because current guides disagree.

Check these in-game first

These entries stay separate because the checked sources disagree.

True Saint → True Saint (Holy)

Published recipes disagree on Sprite colors, quantities, and whether a Rainbow Sprite is required. Check the live Evolve panel before spending.
