Unlocking Sinbad (Sovereign) in Anime Expeditions
In Anime Expeditions, the unit known as Sovereign—inspired by the character Sinbad from Magi: Adventure of Sinbad—stands out as one of the most powerful Secret-rarity units currently available. Unlike standard units that you can simply pull from summon banners, Sinbad requires a more strategic approach involving portal grinding and item crafting.
To get Sinbad, you must successfully complete the Sovereign's Portal. This is not a standard mission you can jump into immediately; it requires specific preparation. You will need to engage with the crafting system and participate in the Summer Siege event mechanics to gather the necessary materials.
How to Craft a Sovereign's Portal
Navigate to the Upgrades/Crafting area in the lobby.
Locate the Sovereign's Portal recipe.
Collect 4x Djinn’s Treasures.
Once you have the materials, craft the portal to begin your attempt at securing the unit.
Efficiently Farming Djinn’s Treasures
The bottleneck for most players is acquiring the four Djinn’s Treasures. According to community reports and gameplay strategies, the most reliable way to farm these is through the Tier 5 Summer Portal.
Start by visiting the Tidal Siege Event shop. You can purchase Tier 1 Summer Portals for 1,000 Gems each. It is recommended to buy in bulk—50 to 100 portals—to ensure you have enough resources to reach the Tier 5 threshold without interruption.
Tip
You can increase your efficiency by using the "Auto Augment" feature in the settings menu. Set your target augment to 3 and ensure your minimum portal tier is set to 5. This automates the process of upgrading your portals, saving you significant time during the grind.
After activating a portal, you need to complete the challenge to earn a higher-tier portal. There is a percentage chance to upgrade to the next tier upon completion. If you find the Tier 5 challenge difficult, consider teaming up with a friend to clear the content faster, as the difficulty can be significant for solo players.
Maximizing Your Success Rate
When you reach the Tier 5 Summer Portal, always make sure to augment it before starting. Augmenting increases the drop rate of the Djinn’s Treasure. While a base-level portal has a lower success rate, a fully augmented Tier 5 portal provides a much higher probability, making the process significantly faster.
As you load into the game mode, you will be equipped with a fishing rod. Use this tool effectively to manage the event mechanics. Place your defensive units—such as farmers or heavy hitters—in the back if your team is still developing, or closer to the front if you have high-level units capable of handling the 3,000 HP mobs.
Warning
Always prioritize hosting the Sovereign's Portal yourself. Hosting guarantees the Sinbad unit upon completion. Joining another player's lobby only offers a slim 2% chance of the unit dropping, which is highly inefficient for those looking to add this powerful character to their roster quickly.
Evolving Sovereign (Sinbad)
Once you have secured Sovereign, your journey isn't quite over. To unlock his true potential, you should evolve him into Sovereign (Djinn). This form gains the ability to apply Freeze to enemies and utilizes chain lightning strikes.

25x Sprite (Green)
3x Sprite (Rainbow)
1x Lightning Emblem
10,000 Gold
Sprites can be farmed by completing various Challenges throughout the game. If you are short on specific colors, you can use Grey Sprites at the crafting station to convert them into the required elemental variants. The Lightning Emblem is a specific event item that can be purchased from the Summer Fish Fest Event shop for 10,000 Sand Dollars.
Understanding Sovereign's Abilities
Sovereign (Djinn) is a versatile unit that switches combat modes based on the presence of a boss. When no boss is in range, he uses Lightning Djinn mode, which focuses on crowd control through chain lightning. When a boss enters his range, he switches to Nine Tailed Fox Djinn mode, which increases his damage output by 50% and provides an auto-targeting feature.
This dual-mode functionality makes him an essential addition to any high-level tower defense squad. His ability to apply a permanent 15% slow after his Freeze effect wears off ensures that enemies are kept at bay, providing your other units more time to deal damage.
Can I get Sinbad from regular banners?
No, Sinbad (Sovereign) is a Secret-rarity unit and cannot be obtained through standard summon banners. You must complete the Sovereign's Portal.
How do I get the Lightning Emblem for evolution?
You can purchase the Lightning Emblem from the Summer Fish Fest Event shop using 10,000 Sand Dollars.
What is the best way to farm Summer Portals?
The fastest method is to buy Tier 1 portals from the event shop and run them repeatedly until you reach Tier 5, using the auto-augment feature to optimize your drop rates.
