How to Get Griffith in Anime Expeditions: Evolution Guide

How to Obtain Griffith in Anime Expeditions

In the latest updates for Anime Expeditions, Griffith has emerged as a top-tier unit that requires a dedicated grind rather than luck on a banner. To start your journey, navigate to the Crimson Shore story map. You do not need to clear a specific act to find him; simply load into any act, head behind the spawn area, and locate the Broken Falcon NPC.

Interacting with this NPC grants you the base Broken Falcon unit and initiates the "Redemption or Sacrifice" quest. From this point, your progress is entirely determined by your performance in the Eclipsed Infinite game mode, where you must farm 150 souls of a specific type to unlock one of his two powerful evolutions.

Choosing Your Evolution Path

Before you begin your grind in Eclipsed Infinite, it is crucial to decide which form of Griffith suits your team composition. Because the soul requirements are significant, splitting your effort between the two paths is inefficient.

Silver Falcon (Light Mode)

Obtainable by collecting 150 Redeemed Souls. This form is primarily a support unit. He provides substantial base damage buffs (up to 31% combined) and magic/physical damage boosts. He is widely considered the superior choice for players looking to enhance their team's overall output.

5th God Hand (Dark Mode)

Obtainable by collecting 150 Sacrificed Souls. This form is a damage-oriented powerhouse. He utilizes "Distortion" to stall enemies and applies a "Mark of Fate" to ramp up his own damage based on the number of marked enemies in his range. He is ideal for high-wave content where enemy density is high.

Farming Souls in Eclipsed Infinite

Eclipsed Infinite is the only source for the souls required to evolve Griffith. You can access this mode via the eclipse icon on your story map selection screen. While any stage with this icon works, the mechanics remain consistent across all of them.

1. Enter Eclipsed Infinite: Choose any available stage marked with the eclipse icon.
2. Select Your Path: Every five waves, you will be prompted to choose between Redemption or Sacrifice cards. Consistent selection is key; avoid mixing these, or you will not receive the required soul count.
3. Clear Waves: Aim to reach the boss at wave 10 and beyond. Killing bosses provides bonus progress to your chosen meter.
4. Collect Rewards: A full run typically grants 10 souls. Expect to complete approximately 15 full runs to reach the 150-soul threshold.
5. Verify Progress: Check the victory screen after each run to ensure your soul count is increasing. If the reward line is missing, your card selections may have been split.

Tips for an Efficient Grind

According to community reports, the difficulty of Eclipsed Infinite scales quickly, making it essential to bring an effective "carry" unit to handle the later waves. Since you are limited to only one Griffith on your team, focus on building your support roster around him.

Tip

If you are aiming for the 5th God Hand (Dark), try to position him where enemy paths converge. His damage potential skyrockets when multiple enemies are affected by his "Mark of Fate," making him a monster in late-game scenarios where mobs clump together.

Warning

Do not attempt to use both Light and Dark Griffith on the same team. The game restricts you to a single Griffith unit, so choose the form that best complements your current loadout. If you are lacking in raw damage, the 5th God Hand is your best bet; if you need to boost your existing DPS units, stick with the Silver Falcon.

FAQ: Common Questions About Griffith

Can I change my mind after collecting some souls?

While you can technically switch your focus, it will significantly delay your progress. It is highly recommended to commit to one path—either Redemption or Sacrifice—from the very beginning to reach the 150-soul requirement as quickly as possible.

Does the stage difficulty affect soul drops?

Higher waves generally provide more consistent rewards. If you are struggling to clear, focus on upgrading your main carry units like Sinbad, Itachi, or Judar to ensure you can reach the end of the Eclipsed Infinite run without failing.

Where do I evolve him once I have the souls?

Once you have gathered 150 souls, return to the Broken Falcon NPC in Crimson Shore. Exchange your souls for the required item (Cursed Egg for Light, Eclipse Shard for Dark), then use that item in the unit evolution menu to finalize your transformation.
