Want to know more about the elusive Anime Defenders Shadow Dragon unit? Read on to find out how to get the rarest unit in the game and how to evolve him.

Have you seen the Exclusive Wish banner in Anime Defenders? To find out more regarding the Exclusive Wish banner, have a read of our Anime Defenders Wish Crystal guide and our general Anime Defenders Wish guide that goes over what the new summoning feature is!

Anime Defenders Shadow Dragon

This unit has taken the player base by storm! As well as being the rarest unit in the game right now, he has an ability called ‘Otherworldly Power’, which buffs the Range of all nearby allies by 15% for around 19 seconds and reduces cooldowns by 25%. It’s a pretty powerful ability to have in battle!

The Shadow Dragon’s standard form is a Meta unit, but their evolved form shifts into not only a Meta unit in general, but a Meta for Story Mode, Raids, and the Support role as a whole. This unit deals AoE damage and is actually the first unit in the tower defense game to use cone-shaped attacks.

How to Obtain the Shadow Dragon

The Shadow Dragon is the rarest unit on the Exclusive Wish banner, and is the first of its kind! At the time of writing, the Wish banner is brand new, and the Shadow Dragon is the star of the show.

He has a 0.10% chance of dropping when using Wish Crystals. However, this exclusive currency is rare enough to obtain itself. On top of his low drop rate, the Wish Crystals also have an extremely low chance of dropping when farming for them.

Evolving the Shadow Dragon

With the Shadow Dragon being one of the rarest hybrid units in Anime Defenders, he can be evolved with a singular item. His name doesn’t change much once you evolve him, but he becomes ‘Shadow Dragon: Unlocked’.

All you need is a Beast Sigil, which you get from crafting. The recipe goes as follows:

  • 120 Magic Mirrors
  • 45K Gold
  • 2 Light Star Rifts
  • 9 Blue Star Rifts
  • 38 Yellow Star Rifts
  • 6 Green Star Rifts
  • 9 Purple Star Rifts
