Anime Squadron Secret Units Guide: How to Unlock Every Hidden Character

Unlocking the most powerful anime squadron secret units is the ultimate goal for any serious player looking to dominate the high-level raids and challenges in this new release. These elusive characters offer a massive jump in power compared to standard Mythics, often providing unique abilities or unmatched speed that can shave minutes off your clear times. In this comprehensive guide, we will break down the exact methods to acquire all anime squadron secret units, from banner pities to difficult raid drops, ensuring your team is ready for the hardest content the game has to offer.

The Hierarchy of Power: Anime Squadron Tier List

In the current meta, not all units are created equal. While many players focus solely on raw Damage Per Second (DPS), community reports suggest that “speed is king.” The faster a unit can move and attack, the more efficiently you can farm the resources needed to further upgrade your squad.

The following table represents the current standing of top-tier units based on player experience and testing:

Rank	Unit Name	Rarity	Primary Strength	Why They Rank High
S+	Sanjiro	Secret	Extreme Speed / DPS	The fastest unit in the game; summons help and clears stages instantly.
S+	Go Meta	Secret	Boss Killing / DPS	Unmatched single-target damage; essential for bosses with millions of HP.
S	Gogeta	Secret	High AoE / DPS	Excellent for clearing waves and high-level special challenges.
S	Shenron	Secret	Utility / Damage	Obtained through raids; provides a significant power spike to any team.
A	Kakashi	Mythic	Early Game Speed	The fastest Mythic unit; vital for early progression and fast clearing.
A	Goku	Mythic	DPS / Evolution	High base damage and the prerequisite for evolving into Gogeta.

While Go Meta technically holds the crown for the highest pure DPS, many veteran players prefer Sanjiro for daily farming. Sanjiro’s movement speed allows you to zoom through maps like GT City, making the grind for evolution materials much less tedious.

Unlocking Every Secret Unit: A Step-by-Step Guide

Obtaining anime squadron secret units requires a mix of luck, persistence, and strategic resource management. Unlike Mythic units, which have a guaranteed pity at 50 summons for beginners, Secret units often require tens of thousands of summons or specific drops from the game’s hardest stages.

Sanjiro: The Banner Secret

Sanjiro is currently the most sought-after unit due to his incredible speed. He is primarily obtained through the standard summon banner. However, the pity for a Secret unit is significantly higher than for a Mythic. According to the game’s interface, you generally need to reach a 20,000-summon pity to guarantee a Secret unit from the banner, though lucky players may pull him much sooner.

Madara: The Ninja Village Drop

To get Madara, you must venture into the Squadron stages, which function similarly to “Legend Stages” in other tower defense or squad-based games. Specifically, you need to farm Ninja Village Chapter 4.

Difficulty	Drop Chance	Pity Count	Recommended Level
Normal	Low	High	40+ (Evolved Mythics)
Hard	2.5%	Lower	40+ (Maxed Team)

Shenron: The Raid Reward

Shenron is tied to the Raid system. You must participate in the “Ultimate Evil” raid stage. Raids are also the primary source for Secret-tier gear, making them a dual-purpose farm. Players should focus on clearing these as soon as they have at least two evolved Mythic units at level 40.

Gogeta: The Fusion Evolution

Gogeta is unique because he is not pulled directly from a banner or dropped by a boss. Instead, he is an evolution of the Mythic Goku. To unlock him, you must:

1. Obtain both Mythic Goku and Mythic Vegeta.
2. Evolve both units to their awakened forms.
3. Complete the “Special Quests” to obtain a Primal Core.
4. Use the Primal Core on your evolved Goku to transform him into Gogeta.

Pro Tip: Community reports emphasize that you should only reroll traits on your Goku, as the Vegeta unit is essentially just a material for the evolution process.

Evolution and Awakening: Turning Mythics into Secrets

Before you can tackle the stages that drop anime squadron secret units, you must strengthen your core team of Mythics. Evolution (or Awakening) increases a unit’s stats and often changes their attack patterns.

To evolve a unit, navigate to the “Upgrade” menu and select “Awakening.” Each unit requires specific materials found in different story acts.

Unit	Evolution Material	Location
Kakashi	Ninja Scrolls	Ninja Village Acts 1-3
Goku	Spirit Orbs	Marine Lobby Acts 3-4
Aizen	Hogyoku Orb	Karakura Bridge (Hard Mode)
General Mythics	Star Cubes	Daily Challenges / Infinite Mode

You can check the specific requirements for any unit by clicking on them in your inventory. The game will display exactly which act drops the necessary items. It is highly recommended to have at least two max-level (Level 40) evolved Mythics before attempting Ninja Village Chapter 4 or high-level raids.

Farming Strategies for Gems, Gold, and Materials

Efficiency is the name of the game in Roblox titles like Anime Squadron. To afford the 20,000 pity for Sanjiro or the materials for Gogeta, you need a massive influx of currency.

The GT City Meta

Currently, GT City Chapter 1 (Normal Mode) is recognized as the fastest way to farm both gems and gold. Because the map layout is the shortest in the game, a fast unit like Kakashi or Sanjiro can clear the stage in record time.

• Gems: Farm GT City Chapter 1 for quick completions.
• Gold: Complete all story stages on both Normal and Hard for one-time clear rewards, then settle into GT City for repeatable gold.
• Trail Rolls: These are essential for rerolling unit traits. The best way to get these is through the Karakura Bridge challenge, which has a 50% chance to drop 1-2 rolls per run.

Infinite Mode and Gotcha Bags

You should always save your Infinite Mode runs for the end of your play session. You receive three boosts per day that grant “Gotcha Bags.” These bags contain Sus Cubes, Perfect Cubes, and Trail Rolls. By waiting until the end of the day, you ensure you are using your strongest possible team to reach the highest wave, maximizing the rewards from your three daily boosts.

Essential Codes and Beginner Progression Tips

When you first start your journey to collect all anime squadron secret units, you should immediately redeem all active codes. These provide a massive head start in gold and Trail Rolls.

Current Active Codes:

• release: Grants 100 Trail Rolls.
• supports: Various currency rewards.
• everything is part of my plan: Massive progression boost.
• Yuko so: Gold and gems.
• sorry for long maintenance: Compensation rewards.

Initial Progression Steps

1. Redeem Codes: This should give you roughly 15k gold.
2. Upgrade Perks: Spend your initial gold on “Maximum Yen” (aim for 1.7k) and “Yen Generation.” This ensures you can actually afford to place your expensive Mythic units like Big Beard or Shanks during a match.
3. The First 50 Summons: Your first 50 summons are guaranteed to yield one Mythic. Aim for Kakashi or Goku.
4. Teleportation: Use the icons on the UI to teleport between the Summon, Upgrade, and Play areas to save time.
5. Daily Challenges: These reset every 30 minutes. If you see a challenge offering rewards you need, you can repeat it infinitely within that 30-minute window by leaving and re-entering.

The Best Gear and Stats for Your Secret Squad

Once you have acquired your anime squadron secret units, equipping them with the right gear is the final step in optimization. Gear can be farmed in raids or crafted in the upgrade menu.

Gear Name	Type	Best For	Set Effect
Devil Sword	Weapon	DPS Units	Increases raw damage and crit scaling.
Devil Amulet	Accessory	All Units	Provides a balanced boost to stats.
Secret Raid Gear	Specialized	End-game Units	Unique set bonuses that vary by raid season.

For stats, the community consensus is to prioritize Crit Rate. Most top-tier units have high base damage, so ensuring those hits land as criticals provides a more consistent DPS increase than stacking raw damage. You can equip gear by going to the unit details screen and clicking on the empty slots.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get the secret unit Aizen (Puppeteer)?

Aizen, often referred to as the Puppeteer in the community, is obtained by completing the Karakura Bridge challenge. To evolve him, you must farm the Hogyoku Orb, which is a rare drop from the Hard mode version of the same stage. He is considered one of the most difficult units to max out due to the 3.6 million HP boss in that challenge.

What is the fastest way to get anime squadron secret units?

The fastest way is a combination of luck and efficient farming. For banner secrets like Sanjiro, speed-running GT City Chapter 1 for gems is the most effective method. For drop-based secrets like Madara, consistently clearing the Hard mode of Ninja Village Chapter 4 with a maxed-out team is required.

Is Sanjiro better than Go Meta?

In terms of utility and progression, yes. Sanjiro’s extreme speed allows you to clear daily tasks and farm materials much faster than any other unit. However, for stationary bosses with massive health pools (like those in the Karakura Bridge challenge), Go Meta’s superior raw DPS makes him the better choice for that specific content.

How often do the secret unit pities reset?

Banner pities for anime squadron secret units generally persist across banner rotations, but it is always wise to check the in-game “Discovery” or “Summon” tab for the most current information. Always ensure you have enough gems to hit a pity if you are targeting a specific Secret unit during a limited-time event.

In conclusion, building a roster of the best units in the game requires a strategic approach to farming and a deep understanding of the evolution mechanics. By focusing on speed first with units like Kakashi and Sanjiro, you can accelerate your progress and eventually unlock the full power of the secret squad. Keep an eye on the 30-minute challenge resets and make sure to use your Infinite Mode boosts daily to keep the materials flowing!

Merged Notes From Earlier Wiki Pages

The following notes preserve unique guidance from the earlier wiki detail pages so those older pages can point here without duplicating the same topic across the site.

Moa Legacy Unit Notes

• Role: Raid or late-game damage
• Previous tier/status: A / High-value secret
• Obtain: Late Ninja/Leaf Village-style farming target with a low-drop secret feel.
• Evolve: Evolve route points toward Leaf/Ninja Village-style material farming.
• Why it mattered: A tier because Moa can bridge the gap between early carries and the brutal late-game route.
• Use: Use as a high-value secret DPS that helps bridge the gap between early story clears and late quest grinding.
• Build: Build once you can AFK or repeatedly clear the stages tied to its drop and evolve materials.
• Avoid: Do not halt all progress for Moa if your account still lacks a stable carry and economy setup.
• Traits: Entrepreneur is useful for expensive upgrades; Cloner or another carry trait is better once Moa becomes a main damage unit.

Previous build notes

• Farm Moa only when you can repeat the route without stalling the whole account.
• Evolved Moa is the kind of secret that can make harder content feel much less painful.
• Use Moa as a bridge before the full Gogeta SSJ4 push.
• If the drop grind feels awful, keep improving your carry and economy instead of freezing progress.
• A strong trait on Moa is worth more once Moa becomes one of your main damage units.

Sung Jin Woo Legacy Unit Notes

• Role: Secret evolve target
• Previous tier/status: Hold / Evolve showcase
• Obtain: Secret-unit chase with a heavy pity cost for most players.
• Evolve: BlueZynn published an Anime Squadron short-form showcase titled around evolving Sung Jin Woo.
• Why it mattered: Hold for now because the name is exciting, but the smarter play is to build proven route units first.
• Use: Treat as a secret evolve target, especially if you already own the unit or can farm its materials comfortably.
• Build: Build after confirming its drop route, evolve cost, and whether its evolved form beats your current carry.
• Avoid: Do not put Sung Jin Woo above proven route units until it actually carries your clears.
• Traits: Hold premium rerolls until the unit role is known. Carry traits make sense only if it becomes your main DPS.

Previous build notes

• Treat Sung Jin Woo as a luxury target unless you already own it.
• Secret pity can be brutal, so do not gamble your whole early account on one name.
• Goku, Moa, Vegeta, raids, and Gogeta SSJ4 route prep usually matter first.
• If Sung Jin Woo becomes your best carry, then rerolls and materials make more sense.
