Eclipse Hunter is a Mythic support unit added to Anime Expeditions in Update 2.5. It works best next to Iron Wolf (Struggler) or Silver Falcon, feeding those allies buffs like a wider AoE while it leans on the same partner for free upgrades after evolving.
Quick answer: Eclipse Hunter drops from Act 2 of the Snowy Castle Raid with a 5% chance, and is guaranteed after 20 clears through the pity meter. Evolve it into Eclipse Hunter (Savior) with 1x Hollowed Egg, 25x Sprite (Pink), 25x Sprite (Yellow), 1x Sprite (Rainbow), and 10,000 Gold.
Eclipse Hunter stats and role
Eclipse Hunter is built around a single partner. Standing next to Iron Wolf (Struggler) or Silver Falcon, it hands that ally several buffs, including a bigger AoE for sweeping groups of enemies. Once it evolves, the relationship becomes two-way, since the evolved form earns free upgrades based on how many enhancements sit on the linked ally.

How to get Eclipse Hunter from the Snowy Castle Raid
Eclipse Hunter only comes from Act 2 of the Snowy Castle Raid. The drop chance is 5% per completion, and the pity meter hands it over for free after 20 Act 2 clears. Snowy Castle is tougher than the other raids, so build up your damage first before pushing deeper.
Note: If you keep clearing Act 2, the guaranteed unit arrives at 20 completions regardless of drop luck. After you own Eclipse Hunter, Act 3 of the same raid is where Iron Wolf drops, which pairs directly with this unit later.
Materials to evolve Eclipse Hunter (Savior)
Evolving turns Eclipse Hunter into Eclipse Hunter (Savior), which adds a new attack, two extra upgrades, and The King passive. You need one quest reward plus a batch of crafted Sprites and Gold.
| Material | Amount |
|---|---|
| Hollowed Egg | 1 |
| Sprite (Pink) | 25 |
| Sprite (Yellow) | 25 |
| Sprite (Rainbow) | 1 |
| Gold | 10,000 |
Pink, Yellow, and Rainbow Sprites are all crafted from Grey Sprites, which drop from Story stages. Clearing those levels also pays out the Gold you need for the evolution and general upgrades, so grinding Story handles most of this list at once.
The Hollowed Egg is the one piece that is not farmed from drops. It is the reward for finishing The Knight Beyond Fate quest. Open the Trials menu, pick Eclipse Hunter’s Trial, then enter and win the challenge to claim the egg.
You know the evolution worked when the unit becomes Eclipse Hunter (Savior), shows its new attack and two additional upgrades, and gains The King passive in its ability list.
Eclipse Hunter (Savior) passives explained
Placing Eclipse Hunter (Savior) next to another unit marks that unit as Selected. The Selected unit then receives buffs depending on its damage, archetype, and element. Three passives drive this system.
| Passive | Effect |
|---|---|
| Sacrificial Brand Denier | Deploy a unit (not Yen-farming units) and place Eclipse Hunter beside it to mark it Selected. If a stage has a Resistance Debuff matching the Selected unit’s Archetype or Element, that Resistance drops by 10% (global cap 30%). |
| Savior | If the Selected unit has less damage than Eclipse Hunter, this unit’s damage rises 15%. If it has more damage, the Selected unit gains 5% range and 10% AoE Size. If the Selected unit is Iron Wolf (Struggler) or Silver Falcon, it gains 15% damage, 5% range, and 10% AoE Size. |
| The King | Every 3 upgrades to the Selected unit grants this unit a free upgrade. Every upgrade to this unit cuts the upgrade cost of all your placed Eclipse Hunter (Savior) by 5%. |
Because The King grants free upgrades tied to the partner, pairing Eclipse Hunter (Savior) with Iron Wolf (Struggler) or Silver Falcon gives the strongest result. Those two trigger the full damage, range, and AoE bonus and keep the Selected upgrade count climbing.
Because Sacrificial Brand Denier keys off Archetype and Element, Eclipse Hunter (Savior) is most useful on stages that apply a Resistance Debuff your Selected unit shares. Its Neutral and Psychic typing keeps it flexible next to a wide range of partners.
The order that works best is simple. Bank Coin Pouches and Totems in Snowy Castle first, farm Act 2 until Eclipse Hunter drops or the pity meter hands it over, then grind Story stages for Grey Sprites and Gold while you clear Eclipse Hunter’s Trial for the Hollowed Egg. Once evolved, keep it glued to Iron Wolf (Struggler) or Silver Falcon so The King’s free upgrades snowball over each run. Limited-time modes such as the Who Am I? minigame and Golden Hour are worth clearing on the side for extra rerolls and event rewards while you build the unit up.
