Anime Vanguards Ichiga (Moonless) Guide, How to Get True Savior Evolution!

Update 11.5 introduced one of the longest evolution quests in Anime Vanguards. Players can now evolve Ichiga into a powerful new form called Ichiga (Moonless), also known as the True Savior. However, unlocking this evolution takes multiple steps, starting from summoning the unit and ending with several special quests tied to the Spirit Mask.

Because the process includes dungeon farming, special materials, and multiple objectives, many players may find it confusing at first. This guide explains every step you need to complete in order to unlock Ichiga (Moonless) in Anime Vanguards. Also check out our Anime Vanguards Tier List & Anime Vanguards Codes for more rewards!

How to Get Ichiga (Savior)

The first step begins with obtaining Ichiga (True Release) from the Special Banner.

• Roll on the Special Banner using Gems
• Get Ichiga (True Release)

After obtaining the unit, you must evolve it into Ichiga (Savior) using these materials:

Evolution Materials

• x12 Horns of Salvation (Drop from Kuinshi Palace Act 2)
• x30 Green Essence
• x15 Blue Essence
• x15 Purple Essence
• x15 Red Essence
• x2 Rainbow Essence

Once this evolution is complete, you can begin the long questline needed to unlock Ichiga (Moonless).

How to Get the Spirit Mask

The next key item in the evolution process is the Spirit Mask, which is required for several quest objectives. There are two ways to obtain it.

1. Underworld Infinite Mode Drop

The easiest method is farming the Underworld Infinite Dungeon.

• Spirit Mask has a 10% drop chance
• This dungeon mode is the main place where players farm the item

Because the drop rate is not guaranteed, you may need several runs before getting it.

2. Dungeon Shop Purchase

If luck is not on your side, you can buy the Spirit Mask from the Dungeon Shop.

Requirements:

• 2000 Hollow Tokens

You can obtain Hollow Tokens by completing the Underworld Dungeon.

Spirit Mask Questline Guide

After obtaining the Spirit Mask, you must complete several quests to transform it into a Complete Spirit Mask.

Quest 1: Use Spirit Collector Ability 20 Times

Inside the Underworld Dungeon:

1. Place units near Soul Collector Towers
2. Defeat enemies near the tower
3. After 20 kills, the tower ability charges
4. Use Spirit Collector ability

Repeat this process 20 times to finish the quest.

Quest 2: Sacrifice Deciever (Monster)

For this step, you need to evolve a special unit. First purchase these items from the Dungeon Shop:

• Deciever Unit (500 Hollow Tokens)
• Fused Spirit Orb (500 Hollow Tokens or 10% dungeon drop)

Then evolve Deciever into Deciever (Monster) using:

• x1 Fused Spirit Orb
• x30 Green Essence Stone
• x30 Purple Essence Stone
• x20 Red Essence Stone
• x3 Rainbow Essence Stone

Once evolved, sacrifice the unit to complete the quest.

Quest 3: Rememberance Trial Sword Puzzle

Use the Spirit Mask to start the Rememberance Trial. Inside the trial:

• Fight enemies through waves
• After each wave, you must choose one of five swords
• Select the correct sword based on previous eliminations

Continue until the trial is cleared.

Quest 4: Sacrifice 30 Mythics

This is the simplest objective. You must sacrifice:

• 30 Mythic units or higher

Use extra units in your inventory to complete this requirement quickly. After finishing all four quests, the Spirit Mask becomes the Complete Spirit Mask.
