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. 1

    Reach Level 10

    The Secret pool only unlocks once you pass Level 10.

  2. 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. 3

    Talk to Mysa

    The NPC standing in the center of the Summoning Room opens the summoning menu.

  4. 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.

How to Unlock Madaro (Madara)

Madaro is the progression-earned Secret unit. He does not come from the banner — instead he drops as a reward from Legend Stages, the hardest difficulty in Story Mode.

  1. 1

    Clear all regular Story stages

    Legend Stages only unlock after the main Story is completed.

  2. 2

    Open Legend Stages

    Enter the Story Room and pick a Legend-stage portal once it unlocks.

  3. 3

    Clear Legend stages repeatedly

    Madaro is a rare stage reward, so expect to farm the same stages several times before he drops.

  4. 4

    Bring a strong team

    Legend Stages are the hardest content available at launch — over-leveled units beat under-evolved ones every time.

How to Get Cursed Lover (Yuta)

Cursed Lover is tied to Rifts — special portals that randomly appear across the map. No Gems required, just persistence and depth.

  1. 1

    Watch the Rift countdown

    A timer appears in the bottom-right corner of your screen before each Rift spawns.

  2. 2

    Join every Rift

    Enter each Rift as soon as it spawns to farm as many attempts as possible.

  3. 3

    Push as deep as you can

    Your odds of earning Cursed Lover improve the further you progress inside the Rift.

  4. 4

    Ready your strongest units

    Depth is everything — enter with your best roster and focus on surviving.

Rifts and all other modes are broken down in the game modes guide.

How to Evolve Your Secret Units

Every base Secret unit evolves into a significantly stronger version with new abilities. The Unit Index counts all six as separate entries:

Valcrad

Valcrad (Unleashed)

Alucard (Hellsing)

Madaro

Madaro (Edo Tensei)

Madara (Naruto)

Cursed Lover

Cursed Lover (Pure Love)

Yuta (Jujutsu Kaisen)

  1. 1

    Get the base unit first

    You must own Valcrad, Madaro or Cursed Lover before you can evolve them.

  2. 2

    Open the Evolve Room

    It is located between the Challenge and Leaderboard rooms.

  3. 3

    Talk to Mokito

    The NPC inside walks you through the requirements and starts the evolution.

Evolution materials, Remnants and Fusion Cores are covered in the ascension & evolution guide.
