A fresh update in Anime Overload has introduced a new secret unit that immediately caught everyone’s attention. Markcoh (Marco) Half Form, especially with the Overloaded trait, stands out as one of the strongest units right now. If you’re trying to figure out how to unlock him and whether he’s actually worth the grind, here’s everything you need to know in a clean and easy breakdown. Also check out our Anime Overload Codes for more rewards!

How to Get Markcoh (Marco) Half Form

Getting Markcoh isn’t as simple as pulling from a banner. This unit is tied to a limited-time mode, so you’ll need to grind a bit. First, you need to play the Rising Phoenix mode, which is part of the new update. This mode allows you to farm for the secret unit through repeated runs. There’s also a pity system at 55 clears, meaning you are guaranteed to get Markcoh if luck isn’t on your side. Here’s the basic process:

  • Enter Rising Phoenix mode
  • Clear waves up to the final boss
  • Defeat the boss for a chance to drop Markcoh
  • Repeat until you get him or hit pity (55 runs)

Once you unlock him, the grind doesn’t stop there.

To evolve Markcoh into Half Form, you need:

  • Phoenix Feathers (from the same mode)
  • A required number of takedowns (around 2,500 kills)
  • Evolution materials from crafting

After meeting all requirements, you can evolve him into his stronger Half Form version.

How to Get Overloaded Trait

The Overloaded trait is what truly makes this unit broken. You’ll need to reroll traits using trait reroll items.

  • Overloaded gives around +300% damage
  • It may take a lot of rerolls unless you get lucky
  • There is usually a pity system depending on your reroll count

If you plan to use Markcoh seriously, getting Overloaded is highly recommended. Without it, he’s still strong, but not top-tier.

Markcoh Half Form Skills & Passive Breakdown

This unit comes packed with multiple strong passives and abilities that make him stand out.

Passive Effects

  • Applies Scorch to enemies within range on placement
  • Scorch increases burn damage taken by enemies
  • Grants immunity to status effects under certain conditions
  • Applies burn damage (80% of attack over time)
  • Gives temporary damage boosts after applying burn
  • Buffs nearby allies with SPA reduction (faster attack speed)

He also has synergy with flying enemies, making him useful in more situations than most units.

Ultimate Ability (Full Phoenix Form)

Markcoh has a transformation mechanic that makes him even stronger.

  • Gains permanent buffs based on total kills before activation
  • Best used after reaching 250+ takedowns

Provides bonuses like:

  • Increased damage
  • Reduced SPA
  • Extra range
  • Chance to apply Scorch on hit

Timing this ability properly is key to maximizing his damage output.

Attack Type and Scaling

One of the biggest reasons why Markcoh is so strong is his scaling.

  • Starts with very high base damage on placement
  • Gains multiple AoE types (circle, cone, and full AoE later)
  • Eventually becomes Full AoE, making him excellent for clearing waves
  • Burn damage stacks extremely well with his passive

At max level with Overloaded, he can reach extremely high damage numbers with fast attack speed and wide range.


Markcoh Half Form Overloaded is easily one of the strongest additions in Anime Overload right now. From high base damage to powerful burn effects and full AoE coverage, he fits perfectly into almost any team setup.  The grind might take some time, especially if luck isn’t on your side, but once you get him fully built, the payoff is clear. If you’re aiming to push higher waves or dominate harder content, this is a unit worth investing in.
