The Flamingo weapon arrives in Anime Final Quest as part of the “Flamingo + NEW GAME MODE 0.5” update dated July 27, 2026. It brings a Doflamingo-inspired string moveset, an ultimate transformation that swaps your skills mid-fight, and a dedicated questline. Here is exactly what the weapon does and how its abilities behave.
Quick answer: The Flamingo weapon uses three base skills (Flaming whip, Bird cage barrage, and String blast). Press G to trigger the ultimate transformation, which replaces the moveset with Ito Ito Barrage and Ito Ito Clash and grants unique dash animations.
Flamingo base moveset
Equip the Flamingo weapon and you attack with standard M1 combos plus three assignable skills. The base skills stay active until you awaken the weapon.
| Skill | Input |
|---|---|
| Flaming whip | Skill 1 (1 / L1 / LB) |
| Bird cage barrage | Skill 2 (2 / L2 / LT) |
| String blast | Skill 3 (3 / R1 / RB) |
Note: The ultimate skill and M1 attacks are planned to receive sound effects with the Nezha update, so early gameplay runs without those cues.
Ultimate transformation and how to trigger it
The Flamingo weapon has an awakening tied to the G key. Activating it plays a short cutscene and changes how the weapon fights.
| State | Skills available |
|---|---|
| Base weapon | Flaming whip, Bird cage barrage, String blast |
| After pressing G (ultimate) | Ito Ito Barrage, Ito Ito Clash |
Unleashed trait and what it does
Traits are rolled onto the weapon, and Unleashed is the mythic-tier roll you want for the Flamingo. It carries a 0.5% chance per reroll, so expect a long grind to land it.
Unleashed stacks three bonuses at once, which makes it stronger than the single-stat Power and Accuracy traits.
| Trait | Effect |
|---|---|
| Unleashed | -30% skill cooldowns, +15% skill damage, +15% M1 damage |
| Power I / II / III | +5% / +10% / +15% M1 damage |
| Accuracy I | +5% skill damage |
What comes with the Flamingo update
The Flamingo weapon does not arrive alone. The 0.5 update also adds a new questline and a fresh game mode, plus two new currencies for a future feature.
- New Flamingo weapon and a dedicated Flamingo questline.
- New Tower Protection game mode.
- New Crystal and Shiny Crystal currencies, tied to an upcoming Black Market feature.
- Timers added to limited content, including the Battle Pass, Perfection Quest, and Perfection Bundle.
To stock up on spins for weapon and gear rolls, redeem codes through the in-game Codes menu after joining the official Anime Final Quest community. The FLAMINGO code grants 150K Gold and 50 Gear Lucky Spins, and TOWERPROTECTION gives 20 Raid Tickets, 50 Weapon Lucky Spins, and 75 Runes. A working code shows a confirmation and credits the rewards to your account instantly; if it fails, check for a typo or the code may have expired.
In practice, the Flamingo weapon lands as a solid mid-tier pick. Its transformed Ito Ito skills and the Unleashed trait give it real damage output, though it sits below the strongest options like Innel and Perfect Susanoo. Ultimate and M1 sound effects are still coming, so the weapon will feel more complete once the Nezha update follows.
