Anime Squadron: How to Get and Awaken Edem (Smash) and Potry (Licht)

Every farming stage, awakening material, and trait target needed to build both secret units in Anime Squadron.

Every farming stage, awakening material, and trait target needed to build both secret units in Anime Squadron.

Edem (Smash) and Potry (Licht) are two awakened secret units in Anime Squadron, each built from a base secret unit that drops from an Invasion stage. Getting them fully online means farming the drop, rolling the Superior trait, collecting a specific list of awakening materials, and then feeding them to level 50. The paths are similar but the materials differ, so it helps to know exactly what each one needs before you start grinding.

Quick answer: Awaken Edem (Smash) with 1 Edems Armor and 100 Immunosuppressants; awaken Potry (Licht) with a Licht Grimoire plus Infinity Train materials. Farm each base unit from its Invasion stage first.


Awakening requirements for Edem (Smash) and Potry (Licht)

Both awakenings run through the Awakening pod in the lobby. Place the base unit inside, load the required materials, and press Awaken. The pod will not let you finish until every material count is met, so the numbers below are what you are farming toward.

UnitMaterials needed
Edem (Smash)1x Edems Armor, 100x Immunosuppressant, Gold
Potry (Licht)1x Licht Grimoire, 125x Mist Fern, 300x Demon Fangs, 15x Demon Blood Crystal, 1x Warding Mask, 200 Gold

Every material has a fixed farming stage. The table below maps each drop to where it comes from and its rate, so you can plan runs instead of guessing.

How to get and awaken Edem (Smash)

From the lobby, open Invasion and choose Cybercity Invasion (Act. 1) on Normal. Keep clearing the stage until Edem appears; pity guarantees the unit by 50 clears.
Take Edem to the Trait Reroll station and roll for the Superior trait. This is optional for clearing content but strongly recommended before you sink materials into the unit.
Spend Reroll Cubes at the Stat Reroll station to raise Edem’s base stats toward S and SS ranks, locking favorable results along the way.
Switch Cybercity Invasion (Act. 1) to Hard and farm until you secure 1x Edems Armor. This drop caps at 100 pity, so it is guaranteed within 100 Hard clears.
Enter Cybercity Squadron (Act. 1) on Hard and grind until you have 100x Immunosuppressant. These drop reliably from the Squadron stage.
Return to the Awakening pod, place Edem inside with the Edems Armor, Immunosuppressants, and Gold, then press Awaken. Feed training food from your inventory to jump the awakened unit straight to level 50.

How to get and awaken Potry (Licht)

From the Invasion menu, run Mage Castle Invasion (Act. 1) on Normal until Potry drops. With a 5% rate and 25 pity, this comes quickly, often within a handful of runs.
Roll the Superior trait on Potry at the Trait Reroll station, then optimize his base stats with Reroll Cubes. High Defense rolls are worth chasing here.
Switch Mage Castle Invasion (Act. 1) to Hard and farm the Licht Grimoire. It shares the same 5% rate and 25 pity as the base unit.
Move to Infinity Train Story and farm the Fern and Fang materials. Acts 5 and 6 supply Mist Fern (125 needed), while Acts 1 and 2 supply Demon Fangs (300 needed). Gather the Demon Blood Crystal and Warding Mask alongside these.
With all materials and 200 Gold in hand, use the Awakening pod to evolve Potry into Potry (Licht). A follow-up Stat Reroll can push Defense toward triple S.

Farm the Infinity Train materials in bulk in a single sitting since Mist Fern and Demon Fangs also feed gear crafting, not just this awakening.


Rolling the Superior trait and stocking Trait Shards

Superior is the top trait target for both units. It grants +200% DMG, +300% HP, +30% RNG, and -15% CD, with a 0.1% roll chance and a 1250-roll pity. Because pity is so high, you want a large Trait Shard stockpile before you start rerolling.

Devil Capsules from the Capsule Event shop are the fastest way to bank shards in volume, since they also drop Gold, Gems, and units. The Merchant and daily and calamity rewards top up your materials between capsule batches.

Redeeming active codes in the Codes window is another quick source of Trait Shards and Reroll Cubes before a rolling session.

Special Quests also hand out Trait Shards and other awakening currency as you complete their task lists, so check them before spending on rerolls.

Superior is not the only useful trait. Cloner, which spawns two units instead of one with +40% DMG and +60% HP, is a strong pick for support units like Nazaka (Berserk) and carries a lower 800 pity.


Gear and team setup around Potry (Licht)

A finished Potry (Licht) slots into a primary lineup alongside Michigo (Horn Of Salvation), Woo (Shadow), Devid (Sandevista), Lacy (Hacker), and Nazaka (Berserk). Review each unit’s equipped gear in the Unit Detail screen before testing to make sure set bonuses are active.

Much of the gear you want is crafted rather than dropped. The Crafting station builds mythic pieces like the Devil Sword and Devil Amulet, plus items such as Hogyoku, using materials and Gold.

Higher-rarity relic recipes appear in the same station once unlocked, including Secret and Mythic sets. Check the recipe list for pieces that match your team’s roles before committing materials.

To confirm the build works, run The Royal Capital Event (Act. 1) and watch the clear speed. A fully geared team should tear through the stage, which is the practical sign your awakenings and gear are paying off.


Edem (Smash) and Potry (Licht) passives

Edem (Smash)

Full Borg caps incoming damage so a single hit never removes more than 20% of Edem’s Max Health. Anything above that cap is ignored, and it works against both normal attacks and Abilities. The weakness is volume, since many small hits will still bring him down.

Militech Plating stacks +3% DMG and +3% Crit DMG each time Edem is hit, and a hit capped by Full Borg counts twice. The bonus caps at +33% DMG and +33% Crit DMG, and the stacks hold for the rest of the stage.

Missile Barrage activates once Militech Plating is at full stacks. Every third attack then also hits every enemy in Range for 50% of Edem’s DMG per enemy, and both normal attacks and his Ability count toward the trigger.

Potry (Licht)

Light Magic lets Potry ignore his Range and attack any enemy on the map, measured in a straight line, picking a new target once the current one dies. He holds position while a target exists, firing from the back, but he does not hit the enemy base and ignores enemies on split lanes.

With Radiant Blade, Potry gains +0.3% DMG for every stud between him and his target, up to +50% DMG at 166 studs. The game checks the distance on each hit, so the bonus decreases as the target approaches, and Potry’s Ability benefits from it as well.

Once both units read as awakened in the Units menu, sit at level 50, and carry Superior, they are ready for endgame stages. A clean, fast clear in The Royal Capital Event is your confirmation that the full build, from trait to gear, has come together.
