Unlocking Cubert in Anime Expeditions
Cubert is an exclusive unit introduced in the Warriors Saga Update (1.0) of Anime Expeditions. Unlike banner-exclusive units that require gem summoning, Cubert is a reward tied to progression. You can obtain this unit by successfully clearing Floor 50 of the Season 1 Tower gamemode.
Because this unit is a specific milestone reward, it cannot be pulled from standard banners. If you are aiming for the Shiny version of Cubert, please note that it is exclusively available through the Tower Leaderboards. Players should focus on optimizing their tower defense strategies—specifically using units like Cursed Immortal or high-AoE damage dealers—to clear floors efficiently and claim this unit before the season ends.
Understanding Cubert's Abilities and Mechanics
Cubert is a Hydro-elemental Magical unit that functions primarily as a force multiplier rather than a primary DPS dealer. His kit revolves around the "Cubert Cube," a unique mechanic that interacts with other units on the map.
Core Ability: Cube Summon
On activation, you can select another unit on the map to attach a Cubert Cube. This consumes one ability charge. You can have a maximum of two cubes per unit and six cubes globally across the map.
Passive: Cubert Cube Buffs
Attached cubes provide a 5% damage increase and a 2.5% range increase to the host unit. These bonuses stack additively if multiple cubes are in range of each other, making placement strategy vital.
Mechanic: Cubert Meter
Every time the host unit performs a regular attack, the Cubert Meter increases. At 3 stacks, the cube explodes, dealing 15% of Cubert’s current damage and applying a stun effect to nearby enemies.
Strategic Placement and Buff Optimization
According to community observations, the most effective way to use Cubert is to treat him as a tactical support rather than a standalone tower. Because he provides the first-ever range buff in the game, he is highly sought after for speed-running and leaderboard pushing.
Tip
To maximize the effectiveness of your team, prioritize placing Cubert Cubes on units that benefit most from extra range, such as long-range mages or units with specific area-of-effect triggers like Judar or Zeref.
How to Manage Global Stacks
Since you are limited to six cubes globally, you must be selective about which units receive the buff. If you have multiple Cubert units deployed, you can maintain the maximum of six cubes to keep the 18% range and 30% damage increase active across your strongest units.
Ensure your target units are within reach of your Cubert placements.
Monitor the Cubert Meter; prioritize units with high attack speeds to trigger the stun explosion more frequently.
Use the "Auto" setting for Cubert Cubes if you struggle with manual management, though manual placement allows for better control during high-difficulty waves.
Common Mistakes and Clarifications
Players often find Cubert confusing due to the wording of his abilities. A common misconception is that you can stack unlimited cubes on a single unit. Remember, each unit can only host two cubes.
Another point of confusion involves the explosion mechanic. The explosion damage (15% of Cubert's current damage) is calculated based on the Cubert unit's stats, not the host unit's stats. Therefore, it is highly recommended to invest in upgrading your Cubert unit's damage stats through transfers or rerolls, even if he is primarily a support.
Warning
Do not attempt to attach a cube to the same Cubert unit that is currently using the summoning ability. Always spread your cubes across your primary DPS dealers to ensure the global buff cap is utilized efficiently.
FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
Does Cubert have an evolution?
As of the current game version, Cubert does not have an evolution. You should focus on leveling him to the maximum and optimizing his stats through trait transfers.
Why isn't my Cubert Cube buff applying?
Ensure that the unit you are targeting is within the range of your Cubert unit. If the cube is placed too far away, or if the unit already has two cubes attached, the ability will not apply additional buffs.
Is the stun effect worth it?
Yes. While the damage buff is the primary reason to use Cubert, the stun effect from the cube explosion is invaluable for slowing down shielded enemies or managing high-HP mobs in the later floors of the Tower.
