How to Get and Evolve Unbound Gohan in Anime Expeditions

Getting Started with the Prodigy Questline

In Anime Expeditions, obtaining the elusive secret unit known as Prodigy—based on the iconic Gohan from the Dragon Ball series—requires commitment to a specific quest chain. This unit has quickly risen to the top of the meta, often cited by players as one of the highest damage-dealing options currently available in the game.

To begin your journey, navigate to the East Town Story map. Once you reach Act 1, locate the Prodigy NPC standing near the basketball court. Interacting with this character will officially activate the "Prodigy Questline" in your menu. According to community reports, this is the only way to trigger the specific missions required to unlock the secret unit. You can visit the official Anime Expeditions Roblox page to ensure you are playing the correct version of the game, as game-specific updates and NPC placements may vary in clones or older versions.

Essential Quest Missions for Prodigy

The questline is multi-faceted, requiring both combat prowess and efficient resource management. You must complete the following objectives in any order that suits your team composition:

• Tournament Participation: Join and complete one tournament match. You do not necessarily need to win to fulfill the requirement, but survival is recommended.
• Boss Node Clearing: Defeat a boss on East Town difficulty 3.
• Mechanical Scrap Farming: Collect 350 units of Mechanical Scrap. The most effective way to gather this is by repeatedly running the East Town Expedition on higher difficulties.
• Prodigy’s Trial: Complete the dedicated trial mission.
• Combat Requirements: Complete 150 waves while having the Carrot (Unleashed) and Bioinsect (Final Form) units equipped in your loadout.

Tip

When farming Mechanical Scrap, players suggest checking the expedition map paths before starting. If the pathing or node rewards seem low (under 30 scrap), some players recommend restarting the run to optimize time efficiency.

Evolution Guide: From Prodigy to Prodigy (Rage)

Once you have secured the unit, the next step is evolution. Transforming Prodigy into Prodigy (Rage) is essential to unlocking its full passive ability set and the high-damage "Father and Son Spirit Energy" ability.

1. Gather Evolution Materials: You will need 20 of each Sprite (Red, Blue, Purple), 3 Rainbow Sprites, and 10,000 Gold.
2. Obtain the Rage Catalyst: This is the most crucial item, obtained by completing the "Hidden Potential Trial."
3. Crafting: If you are short on specific colors, use your base Grey Sprites—which drop from standard story stages and challenge maps—to craft the specific colors required.
4. Evolution: Access the evolution menu, combine the materials, and upgrade your unit to Prodigy (Rage).

Understanding Passive Mechanics and Combat Utility

Prodigy (Rage) is not just a high-damage unit; it is a tactical asset that thrives on team synergy. Its damage output scales significantly when paired with units that apply status effects (DOT).

Core Passive Abilities

• Hidden Potential: Upon reaching Upgrade 3, the unit enters its first transformation. Every third regular attack hits all enemies in range for 50% damage.
• Rage Unleashed: At Upgrade 5, the unit gains a "Prodigy Meter." Dealing damage and letting enemies leave range increases this meter. At 100 stacks, it transforms into Prodigy Transformation 2, granting a 25% damage boost and increasing the AOE damage portion to 75%.
• Unyielding Spirit: This is the unit's standout trait. It deals 10% increased damage per status effect stack on an enemy (capped at 100). If the effect is a Damage-over-Time (DOT) type, Prodigy refreshes the duration and claims the effect source, which can drastically increase combat duration and pressure.

FAQ: Common Questions about Gohan (Prodigy)

What is the best trait to roll for Prodigy?

Community sentiment strongly suggests rolling for the "Unbound" trait. This trait significantly boosts the unit's base stats, allowing it to compete with other top-tier units like Kenpachi in raw DPS.

How much does it cost to deploy this unit?

Prodigy has a base deployment cost of 1,150 Yen. Players should ensure they have reliable money-generating units in their loadout to support this cost during high-difficulty waves.

Can I place multiple Gohan units?

No, Prodigy (Rage) is restricted to a single placement per player. This makes maximizing its stats and ensuring it hits the correct targets with its ability even more important.

As you integrate Gohan into your end-game lineup, remember that his utility depends heavily on your team's ability to maintain status effects on enemies. Because his "Unyielding Spirit" passive benefits from DOT refreshes, coordinating his placement alongside units that apply constant fire or electrical debuffs will yield the highest damage output during boss stages.
