All Anime Expeditions Units
Anime Expeditions currently has 33 units split across six rarities. Each unit has a unique passive ability that shapes its damage role, from single-target damage dealers and summoners to stall supports and economy farmers. Secret units sit at the top of the roster, while Rare and Epic units provide budget options for early story clears.

Lore & Trivia
Overview
Building a strong roster in Anime Expeditions is not just about pulling the rarest Secret unit or highest damage dealer. A well-rolled Legendary support with a useful passive ability or a properly equipped Epic staller can outperform an unevolved Mythic. This page lists all 33 currently available units, their passive abilities, damage roles, and how they fit into team compositions.
Verified by Olivia Bennett on July 17, 2026 at 09:30 UTC: I cross-referenced the current in-game unit collection, the evolution menu, and community tier-list coverage to confirm the 33-unit roster and the nine evolvable units listed below.
Rarity Overview: Passive Abilities, Damage, and Unit Roles
| Rarity | Count | Typical Use |

Secret Units
Secret units are the rarest and strongest endgame carries. Both are obtained by evolving Mythic units.
| Unit | Passive | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Shadow (Divine) | Shadow Realm transforms the map and applies a 25% magic damage buff to all magical units. Divine Spirit stuns Shadow but summons an unkillable minion that mirrors Shadow's damage. Winged Spirit adds extra minion damage every 5 seconds. | DPS / Support |
| 8th Sword (Berserker) | Enemies in range take 5% of current damage every second. Being stunned triggers a follow-up attack. After 25 takedowns, enters Berserk mode, boosting damage, SPA, and range. | DPS |
Exclusive Units
Exclusive units are tied to special events, the Battle Pass, or tournaments.

Mythic Units
Mythic units form the backbone of most teams. Nine of them can evolve into stronger forms.

Legendary Units
Legendary units provide budget support and utility. Several remain useful into late game.

Epic units are early-game fillers. Most are replaced by Legendary or Mythic units, but Ice Mage is a notable exception.

| Stone Alchemist | No passive. | DPS |
| Bounty Hunter | No passive. | DPS |
| Ice Mage | Reduces enemy movement speed by 0.5 for 5 seconds. | CC |

| Kid Assassin | No passive. | DPS |
| Reishi Archer | No passive. | DPS |
| Thunder Shinobi | No passive. | DPS |

Best Starter Picks
You do not need Secret units to clear early content. A practical starter team includes:
- DPS: Thunder Shinobi or Reishi Archer from Rare, then Cursed Student or Elf Mage once you pull a Mythic.
- CC: Ice Mage from Epic is strong enough to carry crowd control until you get Salmon Sorcerer.
- Support: The Hero or Forbidden Teacher buff physical or magical units respectively.
- Farm: Ramen Guy boosts Yen income from kills, making early upgrades easier.
