How to Get the Prodigy Secret Unit in Anime Expeditions (Warriors Saga Update)

About the Prodigy Secret Unit

The Prodigy unit is one of the most sought-after additions from the Warriors Saga update in Anime Expeditions. As a Secret unit, it offers a distinct playstyle, particularly for players who enjoy leveraging status effects and damage-over-time (DoT) mechanics. However, obtaining this unit is not as simple as pulling from a banner; it requires completing a multi-stage questline known as "The Scholar's Trial."

If you are looking to add this unit to your lineup, you will need to be prepared for a grind. This guide breaks down every step required to complete the quest, the specific units you need to prepare, and tips to make the process as efficient as possible.

How to Start the Prodigy Quest

Before you can begin working toward the Prodigy unit, you must first locate the quest giver. The Prodigy Rage NPC is located in the East Town area.

1. Navigate to the East Town map.
2. Locate the quest NPC (Prodigy Rage).
3. Interact with the NPC to accept "The Scholar's Trial."

It is important to note that you must have progressed far enough in the story mode to have unlocked the East Town area. If you haven't reached this point, focus on clearing the preceding story maps first. Once you have access to East Town, the NPC will provide you with the full list of tasks required to unlock the secret unit.

The Scholar's Trial: Step-by-Step Guide

The questline consists of eight specific objectives. You must complete them sequentially, as the NPC will only update your progress after each task is finished.

1. Evolve 1 Unit: You can choose any unit to evolve for this step.
2. Complete East Town 1 Time: Run the East Town story map once.
3. Collect 350 Mechanical Scraps: Farm these in the East Town expedition map.
4. Clear 150 Waves with Carrot (Unleashed): You must use this specific unit.
5. Clear 150 Waves with Bioinsect (Final Form): You must use this specific unit.
6. Clear a Boss Node on East Town Difficulty 3: Requires unlocking and completing this specific difficulty level.
7. Participate in 1 Tournament: Enter any tournament match.
8. Complete Unit Quest: Hidden Potential [Prodigy]: The final step to claim your reward.

Tips for Quest Completion

• Mechanical Scrap Farming: The 350 Mechanical Scraps requirement is the most time-consuming part of the quest. To maximize efficiency, play the East Town expedition map repeatedly. Some players report that choosing specific routes within the expedition map yields higher scrap counts; watch your clear times closely to identify which path is fastest for your current team.
• The Difficulty 3 Boss Node: If you cannot see the Difficulty 3 option for the East Town Boss Node, ensure you have completed the previous story maps to unlock higher expedition tiers. This is a common stumbling block for newer players.
• Tournament Participation: You do not need to win the tournament to satisfy the quest requirement; you simply need to participate.

Preparing Your Units: Carrot (Unleashed) and Bioinsect (Final Form)

A significant portion of this quest requires you to use two specific units: Carrot (Unleashed) and Bioinsect (Final Form). Both of these units are obtainable from the standard banner, which is available at all times.

Tip

Don't Forget to Evolve: The quest requirements specify "Carrot (Unleashed)" and "Bioinsect (Final Form)." If you use the base forms of these units, your wave count will not progress. Ensure you have evolved them to their required forms before you start grinding the 150 waves.

To speed up the wave-clearing process, choose a story map that you can clear quickly and easily. Since the goal is simply to hit the 150-wave threshold, there is no need to run high-difficulty maps. Select an early-game map where you can clear waves rapidly to save time.

Prodigy Unit Analysis: Is It Worth It?

Once you have completed all eight tasks, return to the Prodigy Rage NPC to claim your reward. Prodigy is a Light/Physical element unit that excels in synergy with status effects.

Combat Mechanics

Prodigy's core mechanic revolves around attacking enemies already affected by status effects.

• Increased Damage: It deals 10% increased damage per stack of each status effect on an enemy, capped at 100%.
• DoT Refresh: If the status effect is a Damage-over-Time (DoT) effect, Prodigy refreshes the duration and changes the source to itself. This can only trigger once per DoT type per enemy, making it a powerful utility unit for teams that rely on burn, poison, or other DoT mechanics.

Recommended Traits

Community feedback suggests that the Primordial trait is an excellent choice for Prodigy. It provides a 35% damage increase, a 15% reduction in Special Ability (SBA) cooldown, and a 20% range increase. This combination makes the unit significantly more versatile on the battlefield.

If you are low on reroll resources, focus on getting a solid damage-boosting trait first. While "Unbound" is often cited as the top-tier choice, Primordial offers a fantastic balance of stats that complements Prodigy's kit effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to evolve the unit from the current update for the first quest?

While the quest simply asks you to "Evolve 1 unit," players often choose to evolve a unit from the current update to knock out two tasks at once. However, any unit evolution will count toward this requirement.

Where can I find Bioinsect and Carrot?

Both units are available in the standard banner. They are not limited-time units, so you can pull for them whenever you have the currency.

What is the best way to farm Mechanical Scraps?

The most efficient method is to run the East Town expedition map. Focus on routes that offer the highest scrap drops as rewards. If you are struggling, check community videos for the current "meta" pathing in the East Town expedition.

Can I do the waves with Carrot and Bioinsect at the same time?

Yes, you can include both in your team and clear waves. The quest tracking will count waves for both units simultaneously, effectively cutting your grind time in half.
