Understanding the Cursed Student (True Love) Unit
In Anime Expeditions, the "Cursed Student (True Love)" is a highly sought-after Mythic unit. Inspired by Yuta Okkotsu from Jujutsu Kaisen, this unit is a powerhouse for players focusing on Dark and Physical damage archetypes.
According to community wiki data, this unit was released during the initial game launch (Version 0.0) and is primarily obtained through the Standard and Mini Banners. Its gameplay mechanics revolve around applying "Bleed" on every attack, making it an excellent choice for consistent damage-over-time strategies. Furthermore, its ability to summon Bat Spirits—which mimic the cursed spirit Rika—adds significant utility to your team composition.
The unit’s passive, "Cursed Mimicry," allows it to perform follow-up attacks based on the damage of nearby units, scaling its effectiveness as your team grows stronger. Because of these mechanics, players often prioritize obtaining and upgrading this unit to maximize their defense or assault runs.
How to Obtain the First Student Manga Skin
The "First Student Manga" skin is a cosmetic reward that gives your Cursed Student (True Love) unit a distinct look and an impressive aura. Unlike standard unit upgrades, this skin is tied specifically to an event quest.
Navigate to the Event Menu: Open the Anime Expeditions game on Roblox and locate the "Events" tab.
Select the Stage: Find the "Master True Love" event stage.
Launch the Mission: You can enter this stage solo, which is recommended to avoid the coordination issues of multiplayer lobbies.
Defeat the Boss: Navigate through the waves and defeat the final boss node to complete the quest.
Claim Reward: Return to the lobby and open your event quest menu to claim the "First Student Manga" skin.
Equip the Skin: Open your unit inventory, select the Cursed Student (True Love) unit, and apply the skin in the "Skin" slot.
Solo Strategy for the Master True Love Event
Many players find the Master True Love event challenging, but with the right strategy, you can easily solo it. Community reports suggest that you do not need a complex team composition or high-end gear to succeed. In fact, keeping your team small and focused is often more efficient.
Recommended Team Composition
You do not need a full roster of high-tier units to beat this stage. A lean team allows you to focus your Yen on upgrading your primary damage dealers quickly.
Core Units: Kenpachi and Cursed Student (True Love). These two are the foundation.
Support/DPS Options: Diane (for crowd control and extra damage) and Gojo (optional, primarily for summons if you have excess Yen).
Gameplay Tips for Success
The key to winning this stage is maximizing your Yen generation early on so you can afford the necessary upgrades for your units before the boss fight.
Tip
Prioritize Defense Nodes: When choosing your path, prioritize Defense nodes over Assault nodes whenever possible. Defense nodes provide five waves of enemies, allowing you to grind significantly more Yen, which is crucial for upgrading your units to their peak potential before the final boss.
Early Game Setup: Place your Kenpachi and Cursed Student units at the front of the payload path. Do not worry about placing units at the very back unless necessary; focusing your firepower at the start of the path is usually sufficient to clear the waves.
Upgrade Order: Focus all your initial Yen into Kenpachi. Aim for his first "yellow upgrade" as soon as possible. Once Kenpachi is sufficiently upgraded, redirect your Yen towards upgrading the Cursed Student (True Love) unit.
Ignore Unnecessary Units: You do not need to bring a full team of six. Adding too many units can dilute your Yen distribution. Focusing on just two or three strong units ensures they reach their maximum upgrade tiers faster.
Manage the Boss: By the time you reach the final boss node, your Cursed Student should be heavily upgraded. If you have Diane in your team, use her giant form ability to hold the boss and deal massive damage.
Unit Performance and Synergy
The Cursed Student (True Love) is not just a cosmetic favorite; it is a functional asset. Understanding its scaling helps you decide when to prioritize it in your upgrade path during events.
Key Stats and Upgrades
At its base level (UPG 0), the unit starts with moderate DPS, but as you invest into it (up to UPG 8), its damage output increases significantly. The introduction of abilities like "Black Flash" and "True Love" at higher upgrade tiers makes it a formidable late-game unit.
Bleed Mechanic: The unit deals 0.65x damage in 6 ticks over 6 seconds. This damage-over-time is essential for chipping away at bosses with high health pools.
Follow-Up Attacks: Every 3 regular attacks, the unit performs a follow-up attack using a copy of the closest unit's attack. This makes it highly synergistic with other high-damage units on your team.
Summons: The Bat Spirit summons, which occur every 20 total stacks of Bleed in range, provide extra DPS and can distract enemies, giving your main units more time to attack.
FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need specific gear to win the Master True Love event?
No, gear is not a requirement for this specific event. You can succeed with base-level gear, provided you have a solid team composition (Kenpachi and Yuta) and manage your Yen upgrades efficiently.
Can I trade for the First Student Manga skin?
The Master True Love event is typically a "tradeless" event. This means you are expected to earn the skin yourself by playing through the stage. Relying on your own units is the best approach.
Is the Cursed Student (True Love) unit good for late-game?
Yes, the unit is widely considered a top-tier Mythic. Its ability to apply Bleed, combined with the Follow-Up attack mechanic, ensures it remains relevant even as you progress into harder game modes and higher-difficulty stages.
What happens if I fail the boss node?
If you fail the boss node, you will not receive the skin. However, the event is repeatable. You can restart the stage, adjust your unit placement, and try again. Focus on maximizing Yen in the earlier waves to ensure your units are fully upgraded before the boss fight starts.
