Secret Units are currently the strongest characters available in Anime Squadron. Most of them have excellent damage, unique abilities, and can help players clear endgame content much faster than regular Mythic units. However, unlocking them usually requires a lot of farming, progression, and sometimes a bit of luck. If you’re wondering how to obtain every Secret Unit in Anime Squadron, here’s a complete guide covering all currently known Secret characters and their unlock methods.
What Are Secret Units?
Secret Units are rare characters that sit above Mythic rarity. These units often feature stronger stats, higher damage output, and better utility compared to standard characters. Most endgame teams are built around Secret Units because they perform better in difficult content such as Raids, Challenges, Infinite Mode, and Squad Run stages. At launch, there are several Secret Units available for players to unlock.
How to Get Sanjiro
Sanjiro is one of the strongest units in Anime Squadron and is considered by many players to be the best farming character in the game.
The unit can be obtained through the Special Banner system.
How to Unlock Sanjiro
- Summon from the Special Banner.
- Reach the Secret pity requirement.
- The pity requirement is around 20,000 summons.
Although the pity requirement is high, Sanjiro is worth the investment because of his incredible speed and damage output. Faster stage clears mean more rewards over time, making him one of the most valuable units for progression.
How to Get Madara
Madara is another top-tier Secret Unit that performs extremely well in both boss fights and regular stages.
How to Unlock Madara
- Complete Squad Run stages.
- Farm Ninja Village Chapter 4.
- Hard Mode offers better drop rates than Normal Mode.
- Continue farming until the Secret Unit drops or pity is reached.
Many players consider Madara one of the easier Secret Units to farm compared to some of the other options.
How to Get Shenron
Shenron is a powerful Secret Unit that can be obtained through Raid content.
How to Unlock Shenron
- Enter Raid Mode.
- Farm the Ultimate Evil Raid Stage.
- Continue clearing the raid until Shenron drops.
Since raids also provide gear, evolution materials, and other useful rewards, farming Shenron is a good way to progress your account while chasing a Secret Unit.
How to Get GoMeta
GoMeta is one of the highest DPS units currently available in Anime Squadron. Unlike other Secret Units, GoMeta requires a special evolution process.
Step 1 – Obtain Goku and Vegeta
Before unlocking GoMeta, you must first get:
- Goku
- Vegeta
Both units can be summoned from banners.
Step 2 – Evolve Both Units
Level and evolve both characters using their required materials.
Step 3 – Complete Special Quests
Open the Quest menu and navigate to the Special Quest section.
Complete all required objectives to receive the Primal Core item.
Step 4 – Evolve Goku
Use the Primal Core on the evolved Goku.
Important: The evolution must be used on Goku, not Vegeta.
After completing the process, Goku will evolve into GoMeta.
How to Get Aizen
Aizen is one of the hardest Secret Units to obtain because it requires players to complete some of the toughest content currently available.
How to Unlock Aizen
- Unlock Karakura Bridge Challenge.
- Farm the Puppet drop.
- Obtain the Hogyoku Orb from Hard Mode.
- Use both items to evolve the required unit.
Because Karakura Bridge contains enemies with extremely high HP, it’s recommended to attempt this content only after building a strong endgame team.
Best Order to Farm Secret Units
If you’re a new player, farming every Secret Unit immediately can be overwhelming. Instead, follow this order:
- Madara
- Shenron
- GoMeta
- Aizen
- Sanjiro
Madara and Shenron are generally easier to obtain while also helping you progress toward harder content. Once your team becomes stronger, you can start working toward GoMeta, Aizen, and eventually Sanjiro.
Which Secret Unit Is the Best?
While every Secret Unit is strong, most players rank them like this:
S Tier
- Sanjiro
- GoMeta
A Tier
- Madara
- Shenron
B Tier
- Aizen
Sanjiro is usually considered the best overall farming unit because of his speed, while GoMeta dominates boss fights thanks to his massive DPS.
Secret Units are the backbone of endgame progression in Anime Squadron. Whether you’re farming raids, clearing challenges, or pushing Infinite Mode, these characters will significantly improve your team’s performance.
For most players, Madara should be the first Secret Unit to target, followed by Shenron and GoMeta. Once your roster becomes stronger, you can focus on obtaining Aizen and the highly sought-after Sanjiro to complete your endgame lineup.
