Re:Rangers X Evolution Guide
Step-by-step evolution guide for Re:Rangers X covering all stages from Common to Mythic. Includes material costs, gem requirements, farming strategies, and priority order.
Evolution Overview
Evolution is the primary progression system in Anime Rangers X. Each evolution stage permanently increases a unit's base stats, unlocks new ability tiers, and grants additional Trait Slots. Resources are scarce — every Evolution Stone and Gem must be spent strategically.
Evolution Stages & Requirements
Total to Mythic from Common: 920 Evolution Stones + 92,000 Gems + 1 Awakening Core
Evolution Materials & How to Farm Them
⛏️ Evolution Stones
The primary evolution currency. Required at every evolution stage.
Sources:
- ▸ Infinite Mode past wave 40 (5-10 per clear)
- ▸ Daily missions (15-20 stones)
- ▸ Weekly boss raids (50+ on first clear)
- ▸ Event shops during seasonal events
Pro Tip: Farm Infinite Mode with a speed team (Storm Ronin + Shadow Kunoichi) for maximum stones-per-hour. Daily missions are the most time-efficient source for casual players.
💎 Gems
Premium currency used alongside Evolution Stones at every stage.
Sources:
- ▸ Active promo codes (check our Codes page)
- ▸ Daily achievements (100-200 Gems/day)
- ▸ Weekend events with bonus Gem drops
- ▸ Infinite Mode milestone rewards
Pro Tip: Never spend Gems on Common/Rare banners. Save exclusively for evolution costs and Mythic summon banners. A single Mythic evolution costs 50,000 Gems — plan accordingly.
🔮 Awakening Core
The rarest evolution material. Required only for Legendary → Mythic evolution.
Sources:
- ▸ Legendary+ Boss Raid (5% drop rate)
- ▸ Premium shop (100,000 Gems)
- ▸ Battle Pass tier 50 reward (one per season)
- ▸ Extremely rare event drop
Pro Tip: Never use an Awakening Core on a non-S-Tier unit. The 5% boss raid drop rate means you will likely only obtain 1-2 cores per month. Each one is priceless.
🪙 Anniversary Coins
Event currency from the 1st Anniversary. Used for purchasing exclusive evolution materials and units in the anniversary shop.
Sources:
- ▸ SorryForAnniversary code
- ▸ AnimeMaintX code
- ▸ 1STANNIVERSARY! code
- ▸ Anniversary events
Pro Tip: Spend Anniversary Coins on Cursed Fingers and Awakening Cores first — these are the highest-value purchases. Stockpile any excess for future anniversary shop refreshes.
🌑 Cursed Finger
Jujutsu Kaisen crossover material. Required for evolving JJK crossover units like Asto and Yuji.
Sources:
- ▸ JJKUPD! code
- ▸ JJKUPD2! code
- ▸ GHOULHUNT code
- ▸ RERELEASE!!! code
- ▸ JJK event stages
Pro Tip: Stockpile Cursed Fingers during JJK crossover events — they are the primary gate for evolving Asto and Yuji. Redeem all JJK-related codes immediately as they expire quickly.
📜 Cursed Scrolls
Advanced JJK material for high-tier JJK unit evolutions.
Sources:
- ▸ JJKUPD! code (75 scrolls)
- ▸ CALAMITY code (25 scrolls)
- ▸ JJK raid drops
Pro Tip: Cursed Scrolls are required for the highest-tier JJK evolutions like Unlimited Gojo. Prioritize the JJKUPD! code for 75 scrolls — it is the single largest free source.
Best Units to Evolve First
- 1.
Main DPS to Legendary
Push your primary damage dealer (Chrono Slayer, Void Empress, or Blaze Archon) to Legendary first. The Ultimate ability unlock at Legendary tier is the biggest single power spike in the game and enables wave 60+ content.
- 2.
Support to Epic
Evolve your CC/healer (Frost Monarch or Tide Guardian) to Epic for Trait Slot 2. Apply Cooldown- or Monarch trait. A well-traited support dramatically improves team survivability.
- 3.
Main DPS to Mythic
This is the long grind. Save 500 Evolution Stones, 50,000 Gems, and hunt for an Awakening Core. Only commit if you are certain this unit is a permanent member of your roster.
- 4.
Secondary DPS to Legendary
Once your main DPS is Mythic, bring your secondary DPS (Blaze Archon or Storm Ronin) to Legendary for their Ultimate. This gives you flexibility for different content types.
- 5.
Support to Legendary/Mythic
Last priority. A Mythic support is a luxury — the stats are nice but not game-changing. Only invest here once your DPS units are fully evolved.
- 6.
Redeem Active Codes for Free Materials
Redeem all 48 active codes for free evolution materials — CATCHINGUP alone gives 20,000 Gems. Codes are the fastest source of free Gems, Evolution Stones, and crossover materials, so check the Active Codes page regularly and redeem new codes immediately as many expire within weeks.
Evolution Priority Tier List
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Evolving Starter Units
Wind Scout, Flame Recruit, and Aqua Squire are tutorial units that are replaced within hours. Every Evolution Stone spent on them is permanently wasted. Wait until you pull at least an Epic-tier unit before evolving anything.
Spreading Resources Too Thin
Evolving 5 units to Epic is worse than evolving 1 unit to Legendary. Focus all Evolution Stones and Gems on your main DPS first, then your support, then secondary DPS. A single hyper-evolved carry can solo most content.
Using Awakening Cores Early
Awakening Cores are the rarest resource in the game. If you use one on Blaze Archon and then pull Chrono Slayer next week, you have wasted a month of farming. Only awaken units you are certain will be in your permanent team.
Ignoring Trait Slots
Evolution unlocks Trait Slots (Slot 2 at Epic, Slot 3 at Mythic). A unit with 2 good traits is exponentially stronger than one with 1. Always fill new trait slots immediately — even a Rare trait is better than an empty slot.
Evolving Before Checking the Meta
The Re:Rangers patch significantly changed unit balance. A unit that was S-Tier last month may be A-Tier now. Always check the latest Unit Tier List before committing major evolution resources.
