Shadow

Secret
verified 2026-07-18 · Anime Expeditions units

Shadow is a Secret-rarity Magical unit in Anime Expeditions, available from the Standard banner with a signature Winged Spirit passive.

Shadow is a Secret-rarity unit built around the Magical archetype and the Dark element. It can be pulled from the Standard banner.

Its kit is defined by Winged Spirit and Wolf Spirit. Winged Spirit: On Upgrade 3: Summon a Winged Spirit at this unit's position that will circle at 50% of this unit's range; Winged Spirit will deal 50% of this unit's current damage every 8 seconds in its current location and apply Stun. Wolf Spirit: On Upgrade 5: Summon a Wolf Spirit at this unit's position; Wolf Spirit can be upgraded independently.

Shadow evolves into Shadow (Divine), which adds 2 more tiers and pushes its ceiling well past the base form's numbers - see the Evolved form section below for the exact requirements.

Passives

Winged Spirit: On Upgrade 3: Summon a Winged Spirit at this unit's position that will circle at 50% of this unit's range; Winged Spirit will deal 50% of this unit's current damage every 8 seconds in its current location and apply Stun.

Wolf Spirit: On Upgrade 5: Summon a Wolf Spirit at this unit's position; Wolf Spirit can be upgraded independently.

Evolved form

Shadow evolves into Shadow (Divine), gaining 2 additional tiers (from T8 up to T10) and a higher damage ceiling at max tier.

Evolution requirements: 1x Shadow unit, 20x Blue Sprite, 20x Green Sprite, 20x Red Sprite, 3x Rainbow Sprite, 10000x Gold.

This evolution does not add a new passive - the gains come purely from extra tiers and higher stats per tier.

Cosmetic variants

Shadow has a Shiny cosmetic variant, obtainable at a 1% base chance (BaseShinyChance) on any roll that produces this unit, boosted by the LuckPotion item and the ShinyHunter Gamepass. Shiny only changes the unit's color palette - archetype, element, tier stats, skill and passives stay identical to the standard version.

Trivia

Shadow's design is inspired by a character from Jujutsu Kaisen.

FAQ

How do I get Shadow in Anime Expeditions?

Pull it from the Standard banner using Gems. Shadow is a Secret-rarity unit, so expect a rarer pull compared to the top of the roster, and use the banner's pity counter if you are farming for it specifically.

Is Shadow worth pulling in Anime Expeditions?

As a Secret-rarity Magical unit with Winged Spirit, Shadow is a top-end pull worth prioritizing when it is featured. Its value goes up further once you can afford to evolve it into Shadow (Divine).

How do I evolve Shadow?

Collect 1x Shadow unit, 20x Blue Sprite, 20x Green Sprite, 20x Red Sprite, 3x Rainbow Sprite, 10000x Gold, then use the evolution menu on Shadow to turn it into Shadow (Divine). This adds 2 tiers and boosts its stats further.
