1. How Evolution Works
Only Mythic, Exclusive, and Secret rarity units can evolve. Go to the Evolve room on the west side of the lobby and step into the Evolve circle.
1. Unique Material
Unit-specific item from Legend Stages or quests. Each unit needs a different one.
2. Essence Stones
Green + Legendary colors + Rainbow. See the essence farming guide for how to get these.
3. Gold
15,000 for standard evolutions. 30,000 for Secret-rarity units (Alocard, Igros).
2. Evolution Priority List
Evolve in this order for maximum team impact. Check the tier list for full unit rankings.
Alocard → Vampire King
Premier DPS. Debuffs + burst. Indispensable for Infinite Mode and bosses.
Song Jinwu → Monarch
Shadow soldiers scale infinitely. Best long-term Infinite Mode investment.
Haruka Rin → Dancer
Buffer that multiplies entire team. Raises everyone's damage ceiling.
Demon Leader → Control
NEW. Chain scaling to +250% damage. Potentially highest DPS in game.
Igros → Elite Knight
Tanky frontline + AoE. Core in most team compositions.
Cha-In → Blade Dancer
Best AoE CC. Unlocks full crowd control lockdown.

6. Common Mistakes
Evolving DPS Before Your Buffer
Haruka Rin → Dancer multiplies ALL your DPS units. Evolving her early raises the team's total output more than any single DPS evolution.
Evolving Secret-Rarity Units When Gold-Poor
Alocard and Igros cost 30,000 Gold each (double standard). If gold is tight, evolve 15K units first to strengthen your team faster.
Wasting Rainbow Essences
Rainbow Essences cost 15 Green each to craft. Plan your evolution order around Rainbow availability — don't craft extras you won't use. See the essence guide for crafting recipes.
Sacrificing Your Only Igros for Song Jinwu Quest
The Song Jinwu & Igros fusion quest requires sacrificing an Igros (Elite Knight). Do NOT sacrifice your only copy before you have a replacement — you'll lose a core team member.
