The Anime Adventures Shibuya Update (Update 20) introduces a powerful new Mythic unit: Zombie.
This support-focused unit boasts unique abilities that significantly enhance the survivability of your summoned units.
This guide provides a complete walkthrough on how to obtain Zombie, the requirements for evolving it into Zombie (Risen), and a breakdown of its abilities.
Obtaining Zombie: The Banner Shop
Unlike some secret units introduced in Update 20, Zombie is obtained through the more traditional gacha method:
- Banner Shop: Zombie is available in the Banner Shop. This means you’ll need to spend in-game currency (Gems) to summon for a chance to obtain it.
- Mythic Rarity: As a Mythic unit, Zombie has a low drop rate. Be prepared to potentially spend a significant number of Gems.
- No Guaranteed Method: There is no pity system or guaranteed way to obtain Zombie directly from the banner, unlike some other special units.
Evolving Zombie into Zombie (Risen)
Once you’ve obtained the base Zombie unit, you can evolve it into the more powerful Zombie (Risen).
This evolution requires specific materials and a gameplay milestone:
Evolution Materials:
- 200 Sacred Treasure: A common resource obtained through various game modes.
- Star Fruit (Yellow) x12:
- Star Fruit (Blue) x4
- Star Fruit (Red) x3
- Star Fruit (Pink) x5
- Star Fruit (Rainbow) x1: The rarest Star Fruit.
Gameplay Milestone:
- 7,500 Takedowns: You must achieve 7,500 takedowns with the base Zombie unit to unlock its evolution. This requires active use of Zombie in battles.
Zombie and Zombie (Risen) Abilities
Here’s a breakdown of Zombie’s abilities, both in its base form and after evolving:
Zombie (Base Form)
- Undead Blessing (Passive): Increases the HP of all summoned units by 100% when four Zombie units are placed on the map. This is a powerful team-wide buff.
- Skeleton Surprise (Level 2): Transforms Zombie’s attack into an area-of-effect (AoE) circle.
- Placement Cost: 1,400¥
- Max Units Placeable: 4
Zombie (Risen)
- 25% Damage Increase: Receives a 25% boost to its attack damage.
- Undead Blessing (Passive): Retains the Undead Blessing ability from its base form.
- Skeleton Surprise (Level 2): Transform into AOE Circle.
- Bone Bomb Brigade (Level 4): Gains a new AoE attack with a larger damage radius.
Strategic Considerations
- Support Role: Zombie is primarily a support unit, designed to enhance the survivability of your other units. Its own damage output is secondary.
- Team Composition: Zombie synergizes exceptionally well with teams that rely on large numbers of summoned units. The 100% HP boost from Undead Blessing can drastically increase their effectiveness.
- Takedown Farming: Actively use Zombie in various game modes to reach the 7,500 takedown requirement for evolution as quickly as possible.
Conclusion
Zombie is a valuable addition to any Anime Adventures player’s roster, particularly those who favor summon-based strategies.
While obtaining it requires some luck (and potentially a lot of Gems), and evolving it demands dedication, the resulting power boost to your team is well worth the effort.
Embrace the power of the undead and bolster your forces with Zombie.
