Update 0.75 in Anime Overload finally introduced something players have been waiting for—a true support unit. Alongside characters from Solo Leveling, Fallen Saint enters the game with a completely different role compared to standard DPS units. But after testing and looking at how his kit works, the real question is simple: is he actually good, or just a niche pick? This guide breaks down everything you need to know about Fallen Saint, from how to get him, how his skills work, and whether he’s worth investing your resources into.

How to Get Fallen Saint
Fallen Saint is much easier to obtain compared to other new units in the same update.
You can get him through:
- Summoning Banner (main method)
- Evolution material: Book of Life from the new raid shop (Empty Throne)
Meanwhile, units like Igris require a low drop rate from raids, making Fallen Saint the more accessible option for most players.
However, just because he’s easier to obtain doesn’t automatically make him worth building.
Fallen Saint Skills Explained
Fallen Saint is built entirely around buffing allies rather than dealing damage. His kit focuses on increasing range and boosting damage based on team composition.
Sacred Domain (Passive)
This is his main automatic ability, and it works based on elemental synergy.
- Buffs the most common element within his range
- Grants +5% range per unit, up to 15% max
- If elements are tied, one is chosen randomly
- Does not stack with multiple Fallen Saints
This means positioning is very important. If you’re running multiple units with the same element (like Dark teams), this passive becomes much more useful.
Elemental Prayer (Active Skill)
This is where things get a bit more complicated.
- Grants 20% damage boost to one element
- Reduces enemy resistance by 5%
- Duration: 6.5 seconds
- Cooldown: 20 seconds
- Must be activated manually
The buff itself is strong, especially in late-game or Infinite mode. However, the fact that you need to manually activate it makes it less convenient compared to passive supports.
Does Fallen Saint Need Evolution?
This is one of the biggest concerns for players right now. From testing, evolution does not significantly improve his abilities:
- No new passives are unlocked
- Only range increases (around 50%)
- High cost (raid currency + stars)
Because of this, evolving Fallen Saint feels inefficient. You’re spending a lot of resources for minimal gain, which is not ideal—especially for free-to-play players.
Gameplay Performance (Is He Actually Good?)
In actual gameplay, Fallen Saint performs… decently, but not amazingly.
What Works Well
- Strong damage boost (20%) when active
- Good synergy with mono-element teams
- Can be cycled if you use multiple copies
What Feels Weak
- Manual skill activation gets annoying quickly
- Buff uptime requires constant attention
- Passive buffs are relatively small
- No major improvement after evolution
In Infinite mode, you can see noticeable DPS increases when the buff is active. However, maintaining that boost consistently is not easy unless you actively manage it.
Should You Use Fallen Saint?
Fallen Saint is not a bad unit, but he’s also not a must-have.
Worth Using If:
- You run element-focused teams
- You don’t mind manual micromanagement
- You want to experiment with support builds
Not Worth It If:
- You prefer auto or low-effort gameplay
- You’re saving resources for stronger DPS units
- You expect a major power spike from evolution
Fallen Saint is an interesting addition as the first support unit in Anime Overload, but he feels more like an early experiment rather than a fully polished meta unit. His buffs can make a difference, especially in longer runs, but the manual playstyle and weak evolution hold him back.
For now, he sits somewhere in the middle—not useless, but not game-changing either. If future updates expand the support system, units like Fallen Saint could become much more valuable. Until then, it’s best to treat him as a situational pick rather than a core part of your team.
