Anime Expeditions Unit Trials and Evolution Items

Find Anime Expeditions Unit Trial targets, evolution items, sprite recipes, Gold costs and the live checks to make before farming.

Unit Trials are character-specific progression fights introduced with the release quest systems. Use this page as a target list, then open the selected Trial’s reward preview: availability, entry conditions and exact item rates can rotate or change.

Other documented evolution recipes

These forms have a current recipe, but the evidence reviewed for this index does not safely prove that every unique requirement comes from the Unit Trials menu. Treat the Evolution panel—not a guessed Trial—as the final source.

Efficient Trial loop

  1. Select the exact base unit and inspect its Evolution panel.
  2. Record the unique item, each Sprite color, Gold cost and whether the unit must be unlocked or equipped.
  3. Open Unit Trials and match the item name and icon in Reward Preview.
  4. Build around the displayed enemy type, element and objective; do not assume every Trial is a normal Story clear.
  5. Track completed attempts and actual drops. A third-party percentage is not a guarantee.
  6. Stop when the unique item is secured, then finish shared Sprites through the fastest confirmed source.

Drop-rate policy

This guide does not publish a fixed Unit Trial percentage or pity without a current in-game Rates or pity counter. If the portal shows a percentage, screenshot the full card with version and date. If it shows no rate, “rare” is the most precise responsible label.

For shared materials, use the Items & Materials index. For the complete transformation path, compare Evolution & Ascension.

M.A.S.T.R.R. True Love is not a Unit Trial evolution item farm. Its demonstrated reward is the Cursed Student (Manga) skin, while the base unit still follows the Student ID evolution recipe. See the M.A.S.T.R.R. route before mixing the two progression paths.

Recipes and unit-item associations checked July 18, 2026. Trial availability, entry costs, drop rates and pity remain live-panel fields.
