FAQ

Evolution Q&A

Which evolutions should I do first?

Pick evolutions with the highest DPS gain per total upgrade cost. The ROI table on this page auto-ranks every base/evolved pair from the unit dataset; start with the top options that match your element coverage and mode (Story, Infinite, Boss Rush).

Where do I get evolution materials?

Most evolution items in the dataset come from rotating shops (event, dungeon, raid) and themed events. Use the Material Sources widget here to target the sources with the most unique items instead of chasing one-off drops.

Do I need enchants or techniques before evolving?

Evolve first if the ROI gain is high; enchants and techniques are multipliers on top. After evolving, apply enchants/techniques that align with the unit’s attack type (Hybrid/Air/Ground) to avoid wasting rolls.
