FAQ

Evolution questions

How do I evolve Shadow in Anime Expeditions?

The detailed current guide lists 20 Blue, 20 Green, 20 Red and 3 Rainbow Sprites plus 10,000 Gold, with no separate key item in that recipe.

What does Elf Mage need to evolve?

The community-listed recipe is 14 Cosmic Magic, 20 Blue Sprites, 20 Purple Sprites, 1 Rainbow Sprite and 5,000 Gold.

What does 8th Sword need to evolve?

One current unit guide lists 20 Red, 20 Blue, 20 Green and 3 Rainbow Sprites plus 10,000 Gold. A separate materials guide also names an 8th's Sword item, so that key-material claim remains disputed.

Are these evolution recipes official?

No developer-controlled recipe table was selected. The rows are community-listed and should be compared with the current in-game evolution screen.

Evidence

Sources and verification

Recipes are reconciled across current guide publishers. Conflicting 8th Sword key-material claims remain visible instead of being silently chosen.
