How to Get Snow Reaper in Anime Adventures and Evolve Snow Reaper (War)

Where the Legendary Snow Reaper comes from, its full upgrade costs, and what the Secret War unit needs to evolve.

Where the Legendary Snow Reaper comes from, its full upgrade costs, and what the Secret War unit needs to evolve.

Quick answer: Regular summons can give you Snow Reaper, a Legendary unit. Snow Reaper (War) is a different Secret unit; the game doesn’t identify how to obtain it, and it evolves into Snow Reaper (Final).

Snow Reaper (War) is its own unit. The only link in the family is that War evolves into Snow Reaper (Final).


How to get the Legendary Snow Reaper from summons

The Legendary Snow Reaper is not a featured-only unit. It sits in the regular summon pool, and Shiny versions exist.

Open the Areas menu in the lobby. Head to the Summon area from there.
Open “Select Banner” at the summon screen. This lists the banners you can pull from.
Pick a banner and summon. Snow Reaper is a Legendary in the regular pool, so you don’t have to wait for it to appear on the Featured Units board.

Once it lands in your inventory, you can place up to 4 copies on a map. It deals Magic damage with Lightning as its secondary type.

Level 3 adds “+ Second Dance: Hakuren”, which is also where the cooldown jumps from 7 to 15 seconds. Level 7 adds “+ Third Dance: Shirafune”. Upgrades 1 through 8 cost 24,750 in total, or 25,650 once you count the placement. A maxed Snow Reaper hits for 625 every 12 seconds, about 52.1 DPS, at range 22.

Snow Reaper skins

The Legendary Snow Reaper has skins that alter its appearance, but they don’t add any new units.

  • Snow Reaper (Summer): “Available only from the Summer 2023 Event!”
  • Snow Reaper (Winter): “Available only from the Christmas Event!”
  • Snow Reaper (Devil)

Snow Reaper (War): Source and stats

Snow Reaper (War) has Secret rarity, and Shiny versions are available. It is hidden from the banners’ unit lists, and the game gives no acquisition source for War. Its source is not confirmed. The 10 November 2026 Featured Units board snapshot at 02:31 UTC listed Mochi, Cherub and Arlem; War was absent.

Even unevolved, War at placement out-damages a fully upgraded Legendary Snow Reaper by a wide margin.


How to evolve Snow Reaper (War) into Snow Reaper (Final)

The evolution reads “+40% Attack, +Ice, Gale of the Moon”. Range, cooldown and cost stay the same. To evolve a Shiny Snow Reaper (War), you need the same items plus a Shiny War.

RequirementAmount
Snow Reaper (War)1
Sacred Treasure200
Star Fruit12
Star Fruit (Blue)5
Star Fruit (Red)3
Star Fruit (Green)4
Star Fruit (Rainbow)1
Takedowns with the unit7,500

The takedowns have to come from Snow Reaper (War) itself, so field it in your regular runs while you collect materials. When the evolution goes through, the unit becomes Snow Reaper (Final) and its damage reads 1,120 instead of 800.

Sacred Treasure

Sacred Treasure is a Legendary material with the description “+Required to evolve a special unit…”, and its source line reads “Obtained from Shibuya District!”. The Sacred Treasure guide covers every source. There are two ways to build up the 200 you need.

Open Quests, then “Your Quests”, then the Event tab. The Daily Mission there asks you to “Defeat 2500 Curses (any mode)” and pays Sacred Treasure x35 plus +500 Gems.
Clear that mission while it is running. Six completions give 210 Sacred Treasure, enough for one evolution. The Event tab’s Daily Mission changes, but it was the Curses mission on 9 November and again at about 02:35 UTC on 10 November 2026, when its timer read “01:58:46 left”.

Unlock Shibuya District for direct farming. In Areas, select Play Area, enter the stage door, and choose “Select World”; Shibuya District appears at the bottom of the world list. A fresh account displays “You have not unlocked this level! (Must complete Shibuya District: Act 1)”; clearing Dungeon Throne Act 6 unlocks access to Shibuya District Act 1.

Other evolutions that use Sacred Treasure include Mage Slayer, Zombie, Desai, Gambler and Shadow Sorcerer; most require 200 each. One farm can supply materials for several units.

Star Fruit

Star Fruit is “Obtained from completing Challenges and other means.” Open Areas and go to Challenges. At about 02:36 UTC on 10 November 2026, the Challenges room offered Snowy Town Act 6 (Shield Enemies) and the Spirit World Daily Challenge (Short Range).

Is Snow Reaper (Final) worth it?

Yes. On the Update 21 tier list scale, the S cutoff is 140 DPS, and Snow Reaper (Final) reaches 172.3 DPS, placing it in S tier. Its raw DPS ranking is fourth: Mage Slayer (Heavenly) has 250.0, Captain (God) has 214.3 and Cherub (Queen) has 187.5; Dreamer (Visionary), at 168.8, follows it. The unit also provides 123.1 DPS per 1,000 cost. Fully maxed, the Legendary Snow Reaper manages just 52.1 DPS, so War and its Final form are the ones to pursue for damage.
