In Anime Last Stand, the Halloween Part 2 update introduces Ghost Essence, a special resource essential for evolving the new Halloween-themed units. If you’ve acquired any of these exclusive units from the Halloween Capsules, you’ll need Ghost Essence to evolve them. This guide covers everything you need to know about obtaining Ghost Essence and maximizing its potential.
How to Obtain Ghost Essence in Anime Last Stand
There are two primary ways to collect Ghost Essence in Anime Last Stand: completing the new Thriller Bark Legend Stage or trading with other players. Here’s a breakdown of each method:
Method 1: Conquering Thriller Bark
The Thriller Bark Legend Stage is a new, challenging stage added specifically for the Halloween update. This stage is divided into three Acts — each progressively more difficult and rewarding. Completing each Act rewards you with Ghost Essence, with more essence available at higher difficulties.
- Act 1 & Act 2: Rewards range from 1 to 5 Ghost Essence upon completion.
- Act 3: The most challenging Act, offering a larger reward of 5 to 15 Ghost Essence.
Since many of the new Halloween units require a substantial amount of Ghost Essence for evolution, focusing on Act 3 is recommended to maximize your rewards. However, be prepared for a tough fight; all Legend Stages, including Thriller Bark, are set to Purgatory difficulty.
Additionally, completing Thriller Bark gives you a 2% chance to obtain the powerful Gecko unit, an added incentive for players who conquer the Legend Stages.
Method 2: Trading for Ghost Essence
If you’re struggling with Thriller Bark or just want a quicker way to gather Ghost Essence, trading is another option. The Anime Last Stand Discord server is an excellent place to find players who may be willing to trade their Ghost Essence. You can offer items or resources in exchange, depending on what other players need.
For those who have an extra account actively farming Ghost Essence (using tools like TinyClicker, for instance), you can also transfer this essence to your main account through trading.
What is Ghost Essence Used For?
Ghost Essence has a single, but critical purpose in Anime Last Stand: evolving the exclusive Halloween units. Similar to the Pumpkin Essence from previous events, Ghost Essence is necessary for these evolutions, making it a valuable asset during this Halloween period. Although this essence might become unavailable after Halloween, the fact that it’s tied to the permanent Thriller Bark Legend Stage suggests it could remain in the game even after the event ends.
