String Demon is a Mythic unit in Anime Expeditions built around crowd control. It seals enemies inside a Cocoon after a set number of attacks, stunning them, then follows up with a heavy hit when the Cocoon breaks. The character is modeled on Donquixote Doflamingo from One Piece, and you obtain it entirely through the summon banners rather than any drop or crafting path.
Quick answer: Summon String Demon from the Beginner’s, Standard, or Mini banner, then evolve it into String Demon (Awakened) at the Evolution station using 20 Sprite (Yellow), 20 Sprite (Pink), 1 Sprite (Rainbow), 1 Joker of the Nonsensical Pirates, and 5,000 Gold.
String Demon core stats and typings
String Demon carries Neutral and Magical typings, meaning it deals Magical archetype damage with a Neutral element. You can field up to three copies at once. A Shiny variant of the unit also exists.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Mythic |
| Element | Neutral |
| Archetype | Magical |
| Placement limit | 3 |
| Evolves into | String Demon (Awakened) |
How to get String Demon in Anime Expeditions
String Demon appears in three separate banners, each with its own pull rate and currency. Because it is Mythic, its odds sit below Legendary, Epic, and Rare units, so timing your pulls when it is featured matters. You can play the game through the official Anime Expeditions Roblox page.
| Banner | Mythic chance | String Demon odds | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner’s Banner | 0.2% | 12.5% of the Mythic pool (fixed) | Requires a Beginner’s Ticket |
| Standard Banner | 0.5% | 50% of the Mythic pool when featured | Featured units rotate every 30 minutes; pity 400 |
| Mini Banner | 0.5% | Single featured Mythic | Spend Gems when String Demon is highlighted |
On the Standard Banner, wait until String Demon rotates into the middle featured slot before pulling, since that raises its share of the Mythic pool to 50%. To get the most out of the unit once you own it, apply the Unbound Trait and roll the Z grade across its stats.
Upgrade costs and DPS by level
Each upgrade raises String Demon’s damage and range while shortening its attack cooldown, which steadily lifts its damage per second. The full base progression runs from UPG 0 through UPG 6.
| Upgrade | Cost (¥) | Damage | Range | DPS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UPG 0 | 1,050 | 368 | 18 | 61.33 |
| UPG 1 | 1,950 | 489 | 19 | 81.50 |
| UPG 2 | 2,750 | 693 | 21 | 126.00 |
| UPG 3 | 3,750 | 1,093 | 21 | 198.73 |
| UPG 4 | 4,750 | 1,113 | 23 | 222.60 |
| UPG 5 | 6,250 | 1,163 | 24 | 242.29 |
| UPG 6 | 6,750 | 1,242 | 24 | 270.00 |
How to evolve String Demon into String Demon (Awakened)
Evolution turns String Demon into String Demon (Awakened), unlocking a second passive and a stronger Cocoon effect. Head to the Evolution station, select the unit, and submit the required materials to complete it.
| Material | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Sprite (Yellow) | 20 |
| Sprite (Pink) | 20 |
| Sprite (Rainbow) | 1 |
| Joker of the Nonsensical Pirates | 1 |
| Gold | 5,000 |
You collect the various Sprites by clearing Daily and Weekly Challenge maps, or by crafting them from Grey Sprites. The Joker of the Nonsensical Pirates comes from a single source, the String Demon Trial: Strings of Captivity, where you clear several enemy waves and then defeat the evolved String Demon boss.
String Demon (Awakened) passives
The Awakened form runs two passives that work together to stun waves and boost nearby allies.
Cocoon of Carnage
- Every 5 regular attacks Cocoons the enemies hit.
- Cocooned enemies are stunned for 10 hits or 5 seconds.
- If the Cocoon is broken after 10 hits, the enemy takes 125% of this unit’s current damage.
- If the Cocoon is not broken within 5 seconds, it despawns.
String Sync
- When the nearest ally in range makes a regular attack, String Demon (Awakened) attaches a String to that ally, up to a capacity of 3.
- When this unit makes a regular attack, allies carrying a String perform a Follow-Up Attack for 100% of this unit’s damage, which breaks the String.
- After a String breaks, it cannot be reapplied to that ally for 15 seconds.
Note: the pre-evolution String Demon triggers Cocoon of Carnage every 6 regular attacks and deals 100% of its current damage on a broken Cocoon, so evolving both shortens the trigger and raises the payoff.
With the Unbound Trait, Z-grade stats, and the Awakened evolution in place, String Demon works best as a control anchor that stuns incoming waves while its String Sync feeds extra follow-up hits to whatever carry sits beside it.
