Anime Squadron Falcon Evo Guide: How to Evolve and Maximize Potential

Understanding the Falcon Evolution Process

Evolving Falcon in Anime Squadron is a priority for players looking to optimize their economy and survivability. As a support-focused unit, Falcon’s value scales with the amount of Yen you possess, making him an essential asset for long-term progression. Unlike standard units, his evolution requires a consistent grind through the game’s latest content updates.

To begin the evolution, you must participate in the Eclipse Act 1 raid stages. Players report that these stages are the primary source for the required materials. Since the drop rates for evolution items can be challenging, it is recommended to run these on "Hard" mode to maximize your efficiency. According to community experience, you will need a substantial amount of specific "egg" items and gold to complete the transformation.

1. Access the Raid: Navigate to the raid menu and select the Eclipse Act 1 raid.
2. Farm Materials: Complete the stages on Hard mode to collect the necessary evolution eggs.
3. Gather Resources: Ensure you have enough gold, as the evolution cost scales significantly.
4. Execute Evolution: Once all materials are collected, open the unit menu to evolve Falcon into his final form.

Maximizing Falcon’s Passive Abilities

Once evolved, Falcon’s true power lies in his unique passives. He is not just a damage dealer; he acts as a "Mercenary Paymaster." This ability increases total Yen gained from defeated enemies by 30%, with an additional 50% bonus on kills secured by Falcon himself.

His defensive utility is equally impressive. "Untouchable Grace" grants Falcon and all nearby units a 20% chance to dodge stuns or debuffs. When positioned away from allies, this dodge chance increases to 30%, and he gains immunity to critical hits. This makes him highly versatile for solo play or team-based compositions where positioning is key.

Tip

Always prioritize the "Cloner" passive when rolling for traits. Because Falcon’s benefits are tied to his presence on the field, having two units instead of one effectively doubles your Yen-farming potential and increases the coverage area for your team's dodge buffs.

Strategic Tips for Yen Farming and Combat

To get the most out of Falcon, you must manage your total Yen balance carefully. His "Claim to Ambition" ability deals damage based on your current savings—specifically 1% of your total damage for every 1,000 Yen you hold. Maintaining a healthy bank of Yen is therefore essential if you want Falcon to contribute meaningful damage alongside his support duties.

Players should also consider the "Eclipse" execution mechanic. This allows Falcon to instantly execute normal enemies once they fall below 10% HP. If an ally is defeated, he can sacrifice them to raise this execution threshold by an additional 1% (up to a 10% cap). This makes him a "finisher" that scales better as the battle progresses and the difficulty increases.

Warning

Avoid upgrading Falcon too early if you are struggling with early-wave gold. While his buffs are powerful, your primary focus should be on establishing a solid economy. Use his "Cloner" trait to maintain a presence on the map without overspending on individual unit upgrades.
