Crimson Mark

Effect
verified 2026-07-18 · Anime Expeditions mechanics

Crimson Mark is a Mark-type status effect in Anime Expeditions tied to Crimson's kit, marking enemies to detonate for bonus damage after a delay.

Crimson Mark is a Mark effect that belongs specifically to Crimson's kit rather than being shared across the roster. It is applied through Crimson's Crimson Explosion passive: marked enemies detonate after 5 seconds, dealing 15% of Crimson's current damage.

Only Crimson (Brother) and its base form Crimson apply Crimson Mark, and the effect runs on a 10 second cooldown per applier.

How Crimson Mark works

Crimson Mark is applied by Crimson's Regular Attack through its Crimson Explosion passive. Once marked, an enemy explodes 5 seconds later, dealing damage equal to 15% of Crimson's current damage stat at the moment of detonation.

Crimson (Brother), the evolved form, adds a second layer on top of the mark: when the Explode trigger activates, it also leaves a Crimson Pool on the ground for 6 seconds, and enemies that walk through that pool take an additional 10% of the unit's current damage every 2 seconds.

Units that apply Crimson Mark

Crimson Mark is applied by Crimson (Brother) and Crimson. As a unit-specific Mark rather than a generic shared effect, its detonation damage scales directly with whichever of the two forms is applying it.

Crimson Mark's role in Crimson's kit

Because Crimson Mark's payoff is delayed by 5 seconds and then scales off the unit's current damage at detonation, buffing Crimson's damage stat between the mark landing and it exploding increases the payout of marks already in flight, not just future attacks.
