54Unit and Form records

17Evolved Forms

33Release-ranking records

34Evolution-linked records

Read the connected record

Unit → Form → material → loadout

Start with the job the team is missing, then follow the linked record instead of opening a separate page for every Unit. The database keeps the identity and panel facts together while Evolution, Items, Equipment, and Loadout Finder handle the next decision.

  1. 1

    Choose a Unit or Form. Use rarity, role, element, archetype, or ranked status to narrow the roster.

  2. 2

    Check the job. Read cost, raw panel DPS, placement, range, obtain route, and the field test before spending rare resources.

  3. 3

    Follow the relationship. Open an Evolution recipe, required Item, exclusive Equipment, or supported Loadout job only when that relationship exists.

Needs a stronger Form

Open the Evolution Planner from the record and subtract the inventory you already own.

Needs a better trait or gear fit

Use Loadout Finder after naming the Unit job; do not apply a generic carry recommendation.

Needs a cheaper early clear

Compare deploy cost, placement, range, and economy links before chasing raw DPS alone.

Three comparisons the filters cannot make for you

Read a Unit as a job, a Form, and a commitment

The database exposes the recorded fields. These comparisons explain why the same cost, a missing DPS value, or an unranked Form should change the next action instead of being flattened into one “best unit” list.

Player questions

Units FAQ

Use the current game panel before spending rare resources on a value that can change.

How many Units are in this Anime Expeditions database?

The September 2 data check contains 54 separate Unit and Form records, including 17 evolved Forms. Base and evolved Forms are kept separate so their stats and relationships are not collapsed.

Which units should a new player keep?

Keep a functional farm unit, one early-wave damage unit, one boss or sustained damage unit, and one support or control unit. Avoid optimizing every Rare or Epic unit before the roster settles.

Which units buff Magical teams?

Shadow (Divine) adds a 25% Magical team buff through Shadow Realm, while Forbidden Teacher provides a scaling Magical damage aura to units in range.

Which units buff Physical teams?

The Hero applies a scaling damage buff to Physical units in range. Place it around the real carry rather than using the aura on a mixed lane with no clear target.

Why are some placement limits missing?

Exact placement values were not added where the current data was not reliable enough. Check the live unit panel before building a strategy around a precise cap.
