The 0.5 update in Anime Reversal introduces a hidden NPC that many players are still struggling to find. This secret NPC, Qin Sha, is currently the only way to obtain Premium Tickets, an important item believed to be used for unit evolution. If you are farming portals without knowing where or when he appears, you are probably missing your chance. Here is a full breakdown of how to find Qin Sha, what you need to trade, and how the Premium Ticket system works. Also check out our Anime Reversal Codes for more rewards!
Where to Find Qin Sha NPC
Qin Sha only appears inside Tier 5 to Tier 8 portals. You will not see him in lower-tier portals, so do not waste time farming early stages. There are a few important details:
- Spawn chance is around 9% to 10% (recently buffed).
- He only appears between Wave 7 and Wave 13.
- He disappears after Wave 14.
- He stays for a very limited number of waves.
This means you cannot fully AFK without paying attention. If you miss him during that small window, the opportunity is gone for that run.
If you are grinding portals, always stay alert around Wave 7. Many players report seeing him as late as Wave 13, so check carefully before clearing the stage too quickly.
Requirements to Trade with Qin Sha
To obtain a Premium Ticket, you need the following materials:
- 5,000 Gems
- 1 Megaphone
- 30 Trait Rerolls
The Megaphone drops from higher-tier portals, so make sure you are farming efficiently. Trait Rerolls can be farmed through the chamber, although the chamber rewards were recently nerfed. Even after the nerf, consistent AFK farming can still give you solid reroll income over time. Once you have all required materials, you can trade with Qin Sha and receive one Premium Ticket.
Important: You can only buy one Premium Ticket per day.
What Is the Premium Ticket Used For?
The Premium Ticket currently does not show a clear description in-game, but it is used for EVO (evolution). Based on current information, you need multiple Premium Tickets to evolve certain units. Because there is a daily purchase limit, progression will take several days if you are aiming to evolve a unit fully.
Farming Strategy Tips
If you are serious about farming Qin Sha:
- Run Tier 5–8 portals only.
- Prepare 5,000 Gems before entering.
- Keep at least 30 Trait Rerolls ready.
- Always check Waves 7–13 carefully.
- Do not rush clear if you suspect he might spawn late.
Portal farming may take dozens or even hundreds of runs before you see him. Some players report running 200+ portals before getting consistent spawns.
The Secret Qin Sha NPC is one of the most important additions in the Anime Reversal 0.5 update. While the spawn rate has been improved, it is still rare enough that you need patience and preparation. If you are planning to evolve new units from this update, start farming Tier 5 to Tier 8 portals now and stockpile Gems, Megaphones, and Trait Rerolls. Missing the spawn window means starting over again. Have you already found Qin Sha, or are you still grinding portals? Let others know your experience and farming strategy.
