Anime Squadron Divine Units Guide: How to Get and Evolve Ichigo

Understanding Divine Units in Anime Squadron

In the latest Anime Squadron update, Divine units have emerged as the cornerstone of high-end team compositions. These units are not merely about raw stats; they offer complex passive mechanics and ultimate abilities that can drastically reduce clear times for endgame content.

Divine units like Ichigo are often tied to specific event banners or secret pull rates. Unlike standard units, their true power is unlocked through evolution quests that require players to grind specific event modes, such as the Soul Palace invasion or the Calamity event. If you are aiming to push through higher difficulty maps or farm resources efficiently, prioritizing the acquisition of a Divine unit should be your primary goal.

How to Obtain and Evolve Divine Ichigo

The process for obtaining and evolving Ichigo is a multi-step journey that requires both luck in the gacha and dedication to grinding. According to player experience, Ichigo is a secret-tier unit, meaning he has a lower drop rate in the event banner.

1. Summoning: Spend event currency on the latest banner to pull Ichigo. It is recommended to save a significant amount of currency before attempting to summon to ensure you hit the pity threshold or increase your success rate.
2. Quest Completion: After pulling the unit, access the quest menu to view the evolution requirements. This typically involves defeating specific event bosses (like Yuhabaha) and grinding the Calamity Event 50 times.
3. Gathering Materials: You will need specific items such as the "Salvation Core" and other evolution-specific materials obtained through event rewards.
4. Awakening: Once all materials and quest conditions are met, navigate to the unit menu, select Ichigo, and perform the evolution to unlock his "True" form.

Mastering Ichigo’s Combat Mechanics

Once evolved, Ichigo transforms into a powerhouse with 77,000 base damage. His strength lies in his "Twin Zangetsu" passive, which allows him to swap between heavy and light blades every eight seconds.

• Heavy Blade: Deals 50% more damage but carries a 50% cooldown penalty. It excels at shredding enemy defense and dealing massive damage to over-health bars.
• Light Blade: Provides a 40% critical hit chance, making it ideal for consistent DPS output against standard mobs.
• True Shikai: This passive charges your ultimate ability with every blade swap. When fully stacked, it can reach up to 1,500% total ultimate damage, making it one of the most destructive nukes currently in the game.

Recommended Gear and Team Synergy

To maximize your Divine units, gear selection is crucial. Many top-tier players recommend the Akaza gear set, which significantly boosts damage output. When building a team around Ichigo, focus on units that provide leader buffs.

Tip

Divine Ichigo grants a 30% damage buff to all Bleach units and a 10% damage buff to all Divine element units. Pairing him with other high-tier Divine units like Yuta can create a synergistic effect that pushes your total team DPS into the millions.

• [ ] Ensure you have an economy unit (like Fastwagon) to fund your upgrades during matches.
• [ ] Prioritize "Superior" traits on your Divine units for the best stat scaling.
• [ ] Use the Calamity Event to farm Stat Cubes and reroll for better traits.
• [ ] Check your team's leader skills to ensure they stack effectively with your primary DPS.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Divine Ichigo better than other secret units?

Ichigo is currently considered a top-tier DPS due to his ability to ignore defense and his massive ultimate damage scaling. However, utility units like Asto (Black) remain essential for disabling enemy special effects.

How do I get more evolution materials?

Evolution materials are primarily rewarded through the Calamity Event and specific story mode stages on hard difficulty. Community reports suggest that farming the Calamity Event is the most efficient way to gather both currency and materials simultaneously.

Should I use the Cloner trait on Ichigo?

While Cloner is powerful on certain units, "Superior" is generally the preferred trait for pure DPS units like Ichigo to maximize his base damage output.
