Anime Galaxies evolutions allow players to transform base champions into significantly stronger variants with upgraded passives, higher damage output, and expanded skill kits in the Roblox tower defense game by Champions TD. Completing an evolution requires gathering elemental essences, accumulated DNA, and specialized crafted items before paying an in-game coin evolution fee.
Evolution Costs and Material Requirements
Evolving a champion requires both inventory crafting and in-game gold currency. According to gameplay testing and launch guides, the standard process involves a direct evolution transaction fee alongside the component gathering phase.
| Requirement Type | Specific Item or Fee | Acquisition Method | Verified Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Direct Coin Fee | 100,000 Coins | Story Mode / Nightmare / Infinite | Required directly at the evolution station to execute the upgrade. |
| In-Shop Essence Purchase | 75,000 Coins each | Lobby Gold Shop | Alternative option for rare Light and Dark stones if challenge drops fail. |
| Total Estimated Buy Cost | ~200,000 Coins | Lobby Gold Shop + Evolution Station | Estimated full gold expense per unit if purchasing needed stones rather than grinding. |
| Catalyst Crafting | Unit-specific item | Crafting NPC (Tanjiro) in Lobby | Requires combining 4 elemental essences and DNA. |
| Base Resource | DNA | Completing game stages & challenges | Standard material awarded through general gameplay. |
Verified Unit Evolution Recipes
Gameplay footage from creator tests and launch builds confirms evolution data for specific Mythic units, while other characters remain partially unconfirmed.
Ichigo to Perfect Mask
Ichigo requires a multi-step crafting process before the final evolution can be triggered at the evolution station:
- Hollow Mask Recipe: 1 Dark Essence, 1 Earth Essence, 1 Water Essence, 1 Wind Essence, and 500 DNA crafted at the item crafting station.
- Final Evolution Cost: 1 Hollow Mask, 500 additional DNA, and the 100,000 coin base fee.
Once evolved, Ichigo gains modified and expanded passives:
- Inner Hollow: Each attack hit fills 1 Hollow gauge (maximum 15). When full, Ichigo enters Hollow state for 8 seconds, causing attacks to inflict bleed dealing 60% damage.
- Crescent Echo: Every third attack launches a secondary crescent wave, delivering a 60% follow-up damage strike to the primary target and up to two enemies within a 6-stud range.
- Final Moon (Evolved Ability): Every 40 seconds, Ichigo's next attack triggers an enhanced follow-up that deals 300% damage to standard enemies and 600% damage to bosses.
Sid and Other Roster Evolutions
- Sid: Evolving Sid requires crafting the Shadow Sword using Dark Essence, DNA, and challenge items. The exact numerical item count for the final recipe is not fully confirmed in current build footage.
- Roster Mythics: The evolution index displays entries for Sukuna (Secret unit), Stark, Megumi, Jiren, Itachi, and Gojo. Specific material recipe recipes for these units have not yet been fully documented in available sources.
How to Farm Evolution Materials
Evolution materials come from dedicated game modes and lobby vendors. Players looking to evolve units can gather items through three primary sources:
1. Challenge Mode Rotations
Challenges serve as the primary free-to-play source for elemental essences:
- Standard challenge maps rotate every 15 minutes.
- Daily and Weekly challenge variants offer guaranteed clears for gems, trait crystals, and higher essence yields.
- Essences dropped include Dark, Light, Earth, Wind, and Water varieties.
2. Nightmare Story Mode
Nightmare difficulty in story mode offers higher gold returns than standard stages, which helps offset the 100,000 coin base evolution cost:
- Yields roughly 17,000 gold per cleared level.
- Awards 10 trait rerolls per completed stage.
- Can be cleared with a single evolved Mythic unit carrying the team.
3. Raids and Raid Shops
Raids provide high-tier progression resources, such as the Cursed Finger and Honored Eye items tied to the secret unit Sukuna, alongside direct raid-shop exchanges for supplemental materials.
Step-by-Step Guide to Evolving Units
- Collect elemental essences by completing rotating 15-minute challenges or purchasing missing stones from the lobby gold shop for 75,000 coins each.
- Farm standard story stages or raid matches to accumulate at least 1,000 total DNA.
- Locate the item crafting station in the lobby (marked by the Tanjiro NPC) and craft the unit's required evolution catalyst, such as the Hollow Mask for Ichigo or the Shadow Sword for Sid.
- Optionally visit the unit stats NPC to reroll base stats before locking in the evolution.
- Walk to the Evolutions area in the lobby and open the interaction menu.
- Select your champion, verify that the catalyst item and required DNA are in your inventory, and confirm the upgrade by paying the 100,000 gold coin fee.
