Quick answer: Phantom King is a Secret unit obtained by summoning from the Legacy banner. It calls Soldiers and Shinjira into battle; evolving it to Phantom King (Emperor) costs 68 Star Fruit across five types.
Phantom King is part of the Legacy banner’s regular unit pool in Anime Adventures, the Roblox anime tower defense game. It is not a featured rate-up unit, so the Legacy banner is the place to roll for it. Shiny versions exist. You cannot sell it, and you can place only one on the field at a time.
How to summon Phantom King on the Legacy banner
What Phantom King does: Soldiers, Shinjira, and Mind Control
Phantom King attacks by summoning Soldiers, which scale from the unit’s own damage stat. Its damage type is Physical with Dark as a secondary type.
- Soldiers: up to 3 on the field at once. A fallen Soldier returns after 5 s.
- Shinjira: At upgrade 5, the “+ Shinjira” unlock brings one in with every summon. This mech has five times a Soldier’s health and damage, and shoots a laser beam lasting 3 seconds.
- Shinjira limits: only 1 at a time, and it returns 60 s after it falls.
- Mind Control (Emperor only): an active from upgrade 8 (“+ Emperor!”) on a 40 s cooldown.
Mind Control’s in-game description reads “Every enemy in range walks backwards and can’t attack for 5s.” Phantom King (Emperor) also doubles the unit’s range from 10 to 20, so that effect covers a much larger area.

Phantom King (Emperor) evolution requirements
The evolution description says “+Emperor, +25% damage”. No takedowns are needed; the evolution requires items alone. The same items evolve a shiny Phantom King, but the starting unit must be shiny to produce a shiny Emperor.
| Requirement | Amount | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| Phantom King | 1 | Secret |
| Star Fruit | 30 | Epic |
| Star Fruit (Green) | 10 | Legendary |
| Star Fruit (Red) | 13 | Legendary |
| Star Fruit (Blue) | 13 | Legendary |
| Star Fruit (Rainbow) | 2 | Mythic |
How to get Star Fruit from Challenges
Star Fruit’s in-game source line is “Obtained from completing Challenges and other means.” Challenges are reached from the same Areas menu as the summon screen.
| Star Fruit | Odds per roll | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| Star Fruit | 43% | Epic |
| Star Fruit (Green) | 13.5% | Legendary |
| Star Fruit (Red) | 13.5% | Legendary |
| Star Fruit (Pink) | 13.5% | Legendary |
| Star Fruit (Blue) | 13.5% | Legendary |
| Star Fruit (Rainbow) | 3% | Mythic |
Phantom King’s evolution needs no Star Fruit (Pink), so any Pink drops are not part of this goal.
Phantom King plan and total costs
Roll Legacy until Phantom King lands, then farm Challenges for Star Fruit. The 2 Star Fruit (Rainbow) will take the longest at 3% per roll, while the plain Star Fruit, at 43%, fills its 30 quickly. In a match, a fully upgraded Phantom King runs 34,000 Yen (2,000 to place plus 32,000 to reach upgrade 7). Phantom King (Emperor) costs 49,000 Yen to max at upgrade 8, 2,000 to place plus 47,000 in upgrades, which buys Mind Control and range 20.
Phantom King is an older unit, so it is not on the Update 21 tier list, which ranks raw damage per second and does not fit a unit that fights through summons. The same Star Fruit also goes into Shinobi (Awakened)’s evolution. For everything else that changed recently, see the Update 21 patch notes.
