Aki is one of the key units you’ll need to tackle the Godly Trials in Anime Last Stand. As an Aka Contract character, she plays a vital role in the evolution chain that eventually unlocks the Helix of Hell for Denji. This guide explains how to find Aki, collect her evolution materials, and evolve her efficiently so you can clear high-level content and move closer to that coveted Godly Chainsaw Man.

Get the Base Aki in Survival Mode
Aki has a 1.5% drop rate, and she only appears in Survival Mode Hell Invasion runs. To improve your chances:
- Choose the Hell Invasion Stage: Focus on mid- to late-stage Survival runs you can clear quickly. These stages tend to drop Aki more consistently once you can defeat waves efficiently.
- Use Auto-Battle (When Safe): If your team is strong enough to auto-clear the stage, let the game run on its own while you focus on other tasks. The more runs you complete, the higher your odds of triggering Aki’s 1.5% drop.
- Be Patient: Even with the right setup, a 1.5% rate means you may need dozens of runs. Keep track of how many runs you’ve done so you can adjust your strategy if needed.
Collecting Gun Fragments
Once you have Aki’s base unit, you need five gun fragments to evolve her. Here’s how to get them:
- Drop Locations: Fragments drop randomly from various Survival Mode stages. Make sure to check stage rewards after every run—sometimes a fragment appears even if you don’t see it in battle.
- Guaranteed Fragment: Every run eventually guarantees one fragment. This means that if you haven’t gotten any fragments after several runs, you’re still working toward that guaranteed drop.
- Essence and Shards: Alongside fragments, you’ll collect Dark Essences and Legendary Shards in Survival. Save at least 500 Essences and 50 Shards for Aki’s final evolution step.
How to Evolve Aki
With Aki and all five gun fragments in your inventory, follow these steps:
- Open Character Menu: Go to your roster and select Aki.
- Select Evolve: Tap the evolve button, which will prompt you for materials.
- Add Fragments, Essences, and Shards: Use all five gun fragments, 500 Dark Essences, and 50 Legendary Shards.
- Confirm Evolution: After confirming, Aki transforms into her evolved Aka Contract form, unlocking her higher stats and skills.
Evolving Aki Anime Last Stand might take time, but following this guide ensures you know exactly where to look and what to collect. Get Aki to drop in Survival Mode, gather her five gun fragments and necessary essences/shards, and evolve her to meet the Godly Trial requirements. Once Aki is evolved, you’ll be one step closer to unlocking the Helix of Hell and transforming Chainsaw Man into his Godly form.
