Reliable Student (Echoes) is the evolved form of a Mythic unit in Anime Adventures, the Roblox anime tower defense game. It doesn’t appear on any banner. The only way to get it is to evolve a Reliable Student you already own.
Quick answer: Summon Reliable Student while it is featured (it is on the lobby’s Featured Units board on 9 Nov 2026), then evolve it with an Echo Egg (400 Killer Coin at the Raid Shop), Star Fruit and 7,500 takedowns.
Everything below happens inside the Anime Adventures experience on Roblox, on Update 21.
Summon Reliable Student from the Featured Units board
Reliable Student is a Mythic rate-up unit, available to summon only during a featured appearance; shiny versions are also available. Featured units rotate throughout the day. At 06:58 UTC on November 9th, the lineup was Shadow Sorcerer (Incident), Bloodcry, and Shinobi (Awakened). At 09:55 UTC, the three Mythics on the board were Zombie, Reliable Student, and Lilia.
If you want the shiny Reliable Student (Echoes), you need a shiny Reliable Student. The evolution items are the same.
Reliable Student vs. Reliable Student (Echoes) stats
These are the stats at placement, at level 1.
| Stat | Reliable Student | Reliable Student (Echoes) |

Evolving adds damage. The cost, cooldown, and range stay the same. On the Update 21 tier list, ranked by evolved DPS (S is 140+, A is 120 to 139.9), the Echoes form sits in A tier. It ties with Zombie (Risen), also featured right now, and Lilia (Homunculus) at 125.0 DPS. It also ranks fourth on the whole list for DPS per 1,000 cost, at 104.2. Its main weakness is a short range of 15.
Reliable Student (Echoes) evolution requirements
Its evolution bonus is displayed as “+25% Attack, +Echoes Act3, +3 Freeze”. Gather the following requirements:
| Requirement | Amount |
|---|---|
| Reliable Student | 1 |
| Echo Egg | 1 |
| Star Fruit | 12 |
| Star Fruit (Blue) | 3 |
| Star Fruit (Red) | 4 |
| Star Fruit (Green) | 3 |
| Star Fruit (Rainbow) | 1 |
| Takedowns with the unit | 7,500 |
The takedowns have to come from Reliable Student itself, so put it in your lineup while you farm the other materials.
How to get the Echo Egg
The Echo Egg is a Mythic material, described as “+Used to evolve a special unit…” Its source line reads “Obtained from [Strange Town] raids.” In practice, you farm Killer Coin in those raids and spend it at the Raid Shop. The egg costs 400 Killer Coin.
Farm Killer Coin in Strange Town
| Raid | Killer Coin per clear | Raids available |
|---|---|---|
| Raid: Act 1 | x3-7 | Unlimited |
| Raid: Act 2 | x5-9 | Unlimited |
| Raid: Act 3 | x7-14 | Unlimited |
| Raid: Act 4 | x12-18 | Unlimited |
| Raid: Act 5 | x22-28 | 3 per day |
Every clear also pays out Gems. The menu also notes, “There may be additional rewards for first clear and quests!”
Buy the Echo Egg at the Raid Shop
The Strange Town tab sells a few other items:
- Heart Bomb (Epic): 30 Killer Coin, up to 10
- Restoration Diamond: 400 Killer Coin
- Reality Pen: 400 Killer Coin
- Stray Neko: 400 Killer Coin
Each Heart Bomb gives “+25% damage in Strange Town raids (stacks)”. They’re cheap, but every coin you spend on them delays the Echo Egg. Prices for every other raid’s tab are in the full Raid Shop list.
Star Fruit from Challenges
Star Fruit is “Obtained from completing Challenges and other means.” Open Areas and choose Challenges (“Complete Challenges for Star Fruits and other rewards!”). The Current Challenge board lists the Star Fruit rewards. Each roll has these odds:
- Star Fruit: 43%
- Green, Red, Pink, and Blue: 13.5% each
- Rainbow: 3%
You only need one Star Fruit (Rainbow), but at 3% per roll it is the rarest kind. Every Challenge modifier and its rewards are in the Star Fruit guide.
How long the Echo Egg takes
At 22 to 28 Killer Coin per clear, 400 Killer Coin takes 15 to 19 clears of Raid: Act 5. With only three Act 5 runs per day, that’s 5 to 7 days. Raid: Act 4 has no daily limit and pays 12 to 18 per clear, so it takes 23 to 34 clears to reach 400.
The simplest plan is to use your three Act 5 runs each day and fill the rest with Act 4. Bring Reliable Student into your teams so it earns its 7,500 takedowns as you go, and run Challenges for Star Fruit on the side. Once you have the Echo Egg, the full set of Star Fruit, and the takedowns, the evolution turns Reliable Student into Reliable Student (Echoes) at 1,000 damage and 125.0 DPS.
