Does evolution unlock a stage or wave you could not clear?

Anime Squadron Evolution Guide
Evolution should change what your account can clear. Gometa is the main long-term evolution target, while expensive flex evolutions should wait until your core is stable.
Best evolution priority: build toward Gometa through Goki Full Power when possible, then invest in long-term DPS, boss killers and supports that multiply that damage.
Evolution source note
The official Roblox description states that players can level up, evolve and unlock abilities. The priority table below is a practical planning model for scarce materials, with top-unit path notes organized from the supplied ranking notes.

9 entriesSwipe table sideways
| Unit | How to get | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Berserker (Enraged) | Squadron Eclipse before Chapter 4. | One of the two strongest DPS units because Bleed DoT damage can reduce enemy regeneration, and his damage rises as HP drops. |
| Gometa (SSJ4) | Evolve Goki to Full Power, finish the related questline, then gather Primal Core materials. | One of the two strongest DPS units because of massive self-stacking buffs, while also tanking well through defense, HP regen and dodge. |
| Puppeteer (Transcendent) | Evolve Puppeteer; get the base from Katakara Bridge Challenge and the evolution item from Katakara Challenge Hard Mode. | A weaker Gometa-style unit with strong DPS, tankiness, self buffs and a damage-focused debuff. |
| Woo (Shadow) | Banner Secret reported with a 20,000 summon pity. | One of the highest DPS targets, but requires gem discipline and pity planning. |
| Madora (Gunbai) | Clear Ninja Village Squadron Act 4. | Strong burn and boss-killing value, with a clearer progression target than pure banner luck. |
| Skeleton Knight (Resonance) | Raid Eclipse before the last chapter. | Excellent hybrid DPS and the best tanking tool; link him with your strongest DPS unit for damage reduction. |
| Falcon (Dark) | Evolve Banner Mythic Falcon. | Useful mix of execute damage, support, debuff resistance and Yen gain for farming. |
| Shanron (Omega) | Clear GT City Raid Act 4, then plan for a costly evolution path. | Versatile DPS, tank and support value, but the investment cost makes timing important. |
| Shield Hero | Battle Pass reward. | Best practical tank before Gometa can carry durability duties. |
Evolution priority
4 entriesSwipe table sideways
| Priority | Unit type | Why | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Long-term carry | Improves every farm and story route | Low if the unit stays relevant |
| 2 | Boss DPS | Unlocks boss-heavy stages and higher wave scaling | Medium if too narrow |
| 3 | Support / control | Amplifies your best damage units | Medium until your damage core is built |
| 4 | Economy or flex | Useful for long maps and endless | High if maps are short or role is replaceable |
Before evolving
- Check whether the evolved unit remains in your best team.
- Compare the upgrade to leveling your current carry or boss DPS.
- Do not evolve a unit only because materials are available.
- Save rare materials until you know the unit's role and trait direction.

Player questions
Questions players ask
Quick answers for the checks players usually make before redeeming codes, rerolling traits, or changing a team.
Which unit should I evolve first?
Evolve the unit that changes your clears the most, usually a long-term carry or boss DPS.
Should I evolve a support unit first?
Usually wait. Support evolution is stronger after you already have a damage unit worth amplifying.
Is evolution always better than rerolling traits?
No. Evolution and traits solve different problems. Evolve for core stat or ability gains; reroll for role fit on a keeper.
