If you’re looking for a complete walkthrough of everything included in this anime squadron update, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll cover the new story stages, the raid strategy, unit tier lists, and all the active codes to claim free rewards right now.
Latest Anime Squadron Update 0.5 – What’s New?
Update 0.5 is one of the biggest patches in Anime Squadron’s history. According to community guides and official patch notes, here’s a quick overview of all the major additions:
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| New Story Stage | Additional story content (normal and hard difficulty). |
| New Squad Stage | Four chapters, including chapter 4 which drops Guts. |
| Eclipse Raid | Defend the Skeleton Knight while taking down a 4.5M HP boss. |
| Mythic Units | Falcon (can evolve into secret unit “Falcon Dark”) and Casca (mythic). |
| Gear Set | New gear set designed for Falcon (first three chapters of raid). |
| Bounty System | Daily/weekly tasks with refresh tickets and rewards. |
| Rich Shop Reset | All limited items refreshed. |
| Limited Skin Bundle | Golden SSJ4 skin for 80,000 Robux, plus new profile bundles. |
Players have reported that the anime squadron update significantly raises the difficulty curve, especially in the Eclipse raid, but also offers more ways to earn resources through the bounty system.
New Mythic Units: Falcon & Casca – Evolution & Priority
Two brand-new mythic units have arrived: Falcon and Casca. Falcon is the standout because he can evolve into a secret unit called “Falcon Dark” (confirmed in the in-game update logs). Casca remains a top-tier mythic but doesn’t currently have an evolution path.
Which one should you pull first? Based on player experience, Falcon should be your priority. Reason: secret units typically have higher base stats and better upgrade potential. However, Casca may still be viable depending on her abilities – the community is still testing her performance.
Evolution Materials: To evolve Falcon, you’ll need materials from the Eclipse raid (more on that below). You can check exact material locations by hovering over items in the in-game “Update Logs” menu.
Here’s a comparison table to help you decide:
| Unit | Rarity | Evolution Path | Farming Method | Recommended Priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Falcon | Mythic | → Falcon Dark (Secret) | Eclipse Raid (materials) | High (evolves) |
| Casca | Mythic | None known | Banner / Selection Banner | Medium |
If you don’t see Falcon or Casca in the standard Space Act banner, go to the Selection Banner to manually pick them. Many players overlook this – it’s a great tip.
Eclipse Raid Guide – Protect the Skeleton Knight
The Eclipse raid is the centerpiece of this anime squadron update. It takes place on a new map and has a unique objective: protect the Skeleton Knight as he slowly moves across the battlefield. Unlike standard raids where you just let your units kill everything, here the Skeleton Knight can die if the boss reaches him too quickly.
Key mechanics:
- Your units will automatically stop and die once they reach the end of their path. The only way to clear the stage is for the Skeleton Knight to survive to the end.
- The boss has 4.5 million HP – a massive health pool that demands high-DPS units.
- You must kill the boss before the Skeleton Knight reaches the boss’s location.
Strategy tips from the community:
| Tip | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Bring fast units | Use Kakashi or Sanji (the fastest units) to delay the boss and buy time. |
| Upgrade Aizen first | Aizen is the highest DPS unit – prioritize him for boss killing. |
| Use 3 secret units | The easiest-to-farm secret units (e.g., from challenges, squad stages) provide the needed damage. |
| Build for crit | Full crit build is recommended – avoid three Omega sets, as they turn into DOT (damage over time) which is less effective on this boss. |
Recommended team comp (player-tested):
| Unit | Role | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Aizen | Primary DPS | Highest single-target damage |
| Madara | Secondary DPS | High crit potential |
| Gogeta | Support / DPS mix | Good on this raid (no DOT issues) |
| Kakashi/Sanji | Speed unit | Fastest for delaying boss |
| Skeleton Knight | Objective unit | Kept alive by the above units |
Builds: Focus on crit rate and crit damage. For Aizen, some players prefer the same build as Gogeta – experiment, but crit is universally strong.
Best Team Builds and Upgrade Priority for the New Raid
If you’re struggling to clear the Eclipse raid, here’s a more detailed upgrade priority based on community reports:
- Aizen – Max his upgrades first. He’s the #1 DPS.
- Madara – Second best DPS, especially with crit gear.
- Gogeta – Good for consistent damage, but avoid three Omega sets.
- Kakashi / Sanji – Level them just enough to survive; you mainly need their speed.
Avoid common mistakes:
| Mistake | Consequence |
|---|---|
| Using three Omega set on Aizen | Converts to DOT, lowering DPS. |
| Ignoring Skeleton Knight route | He dies, mission fails. |
| Bringing only one DPS unit | Can’t kill 4.5M HP in time. |
Gear sets from the raid: The first three chapters of the Eclipse raid drop a new gear set designed for Falcon. Make sure to farm it if you plan to use Falcon as your main unit.
Bounty System – How to Earn Free Rewards
The anime squadron update introduces a bounty system that gives you daily and weekly tasks. Access it from the play area (left side). You’ll see a list of bounties with associated rewards (gems, gold, trait shards, etc.). You can refresh the list using Bounty Tickets – but currently the only way to obtain tickets is by purchasing them with Robux (or through code rewards).
Bounty reward examples:
| Reward Type | Typical Amount |
|---|---|
| Trait Shards | 25–50 per bounty |
| Reroll Cubes | 10–20 per bounty |
| Gold | 500–1000 per bounty |
| Gems | 100–200 per bounty |
It’s not a game-changer, but it’s free stuff for playing the game normally. Use your buttons wisely.
