Rare Unit Acquisition
Anime Origins Secret Units
The Secret units are the rarest and strongest characters in Anime Origins — and each one comes from a completely different activity. This guide explains exactly how to get Valcrad, Madaro and Cursed Lover, plus how to evolve them into their endgame forms.

The Three Secret Units at a Glance
Anime Origins currently has three base Secret units. Because every Secret unit can evolve, the Unit Index shows six Secret entries in total. Each base unit drops from a different source, so plan your grind around the one you want.
Madaro
Madara (Naruto)
- Source
- Modora quest chain
- Chance
- SND artifact drops
- Requirement
- Hidden Sand Legend stages + Ghost's Trials
Farm the SND artifact set in Hidden Sand Legend stages, craft the Ghost Gunbai for 9,500 Coins, then clear both Hidden Sand Ghost's Trials to unlock Modora, who evolves into Madaro.

Secret Unit Hunt Showcase
A 2-million-view creator grinds every Secret unit in one run — live drop sources and pity-check gameplay.
What to expect from the grind
PhoenixVids hunts all three base Secrets in a single long session. The video is a realistic preview of the grind each farm requires:
- ▸Valcrad: pure banner luck at Level 10+ — the longest stretch of the run, as expected from a 0.01% drop.
- ▸Madaro: the Modora quest chain — a long, task-based farm through Hidden Sand rather than a banner lottery.
- ▸Cursed Lover: Rift clears with a 40-pull pity — the most deterministic Secret chase.
Community Grind: Secret Aizen & Yuta
A noob-to-pro run focused on the banner Secret (Aizen, 0.1%) and the Rift Secret (Yuta).
Takeaways from the grind
- 1.Two distinct Secret sources: Aizen drops from the banner at 0.1%, while Yuta comes from clearing Rifts.
- 2.Gem farming loop: AFK the Legend Stages — the creator kept grinding past 99k Gems to fund more banner attempts.
- 3.Reroll before evolving: Clean up the unit's trait (chase a Rainbow) before committing evolution materials.
How to Get Valcrad (Alucard)
Valcrad is obtained exclusively from the summon banner. You must be at least Level 10 before he can appear, and his drop chance is a brutal 0.01% — treat him as a long-term Gems goal, not a quick win.
- 1
Reach Level 10
The Secret pool only unlocks once you pass Level 10.
- 2
Open the Summoning menu
Press the Summon button on the left of your screen, or walk to the Summoning Room between the Story and Raid rooms.
- 3
Talk to Mysa
The NPC standing in the center of the Summoning Room opens the summoning menu.
- 4
Spend Gems on summons
Gems come from quests, daily login, playtime rewards, the Battle Pass, the AFK Chamber, and Story/Raid clears.
Need more Gems? See the gem farming guide for a daily routine that banks 4,000+ Gems.
Valcrad Deep-Dive: A 0.01% Drop, Evolved
What a Real Grind Looks Like
- 1.Brutal odds: The creator spent roughly 20,000 Robux before Valcrad dropped — one of the most expensive banner Secrets to chase at launch.
- 2.Evolved kit: His evolved form wipes story bosses with the Coffin Trap — a deployable that seals bosses for 7 seconds when triggered.
- 3.Budget path: Start the Modora quest chain early — it costs no Gems; reserve banner pulls for the paid Battle Pass's guaranteed Secret pity instead.
How to Unlock Madaro (Madara)
Madaro is the quest-chain Secret unit. He does not come from the banner — you earn him by completing the Modora quest chain in the Hidden Sand stages, which centers on crafting the Ghost Gunbai and clearing the Hidden Sand Ghost's Trials.
- 1
Unlock Hidden Sand Legend stages
Legend Stages open after you clear every regular Story stage. The Hidden Sand Legend stages drop the SND artifact set used in the quest chain.
- 2
Farm the SND artifacts
The Gunbai Staff, Gunbai Base and Gunbai Bandage come from the SND-1/2/3 artifacts at a low drop rate. The SND-4 artifact can be refined via Robyn to improve your odds.
- 3
Craft the Ghost Gunbai
Combine the three Gunbai pieces for 9,500 Coins to craft the item that unlocks the Hidden Sand Ghost's Trials.
- 4
Clear both Ghost's Trials
Beat Hidden Sand Ghost's Trial I (15 waves) to earn the Key of the Ghost, then clear Trial II to unlock Modora, the base form of Madara.
- 5
Evolve Modora into Madaro
Bring Modora to Mokito in the Evolve Room with the required Remnants to unlock his endgame form, Madaro (Edo Tensei).
| Item / Artifact | Source Location | Drop Rate / Recipe | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| SND-1 (Gunbai Staff) | Hidden Sand Legend Act 1 | 1.5% Stage Drop | Component for Ghost Gunbai |
| SND-2 (Gunbai Base) | Hidden Sand Legend Act 2 | 1.2% Stage Drop | Component for Ghost Gunbai |
| SND-3 (Gunbai Bandage) | Hidden Sand Legend Act 3 | 0.8% Boss Drop | Component for Ghost Gunbai |
| SND-4 (Refinement Core) | Robyn NPC Refinement | 3x SND Shards + 2,500 Gold | Increases SND-1/2/3 drop odds by +50% |
| Ghost Gunbai (Complete) | Crafting Bench | SND 1+2+3 + 9,500 Coins | Key to unlock Ghost's Trials I & II |

How to Get Cursed Lover (Yuta)
