Quick answer: Stain is Menace in Anime Adventures, and it drops from Raid: The Menace at 1% per clear. Fifteen clears guarantee a copy, which evolves into Menace (Terror).
How to unlock Raid: The Menace
Raid: The Menace is the sole stage available in the Ruined City (The Menace) raid world. Access requires clearing a brief sequence of Ruined City content, with each step becoming available only after the previous one is complete.
Click it to check: while it is still locked, the game shows “You have not unlocked this level! (Must complete Ruined City (Midnight): Legend Stage 6)”. Once you clear Legend Stage 6, the message disappears and the raid becomes available.
Raid: The Menace drops and clear rewards
The raid is built for a group. It is rated Hard, takes up to six players, and warns you on entry with “WARNING: This level is very challenging! Make sure to find a team to succeed!”
- Boss: Joab
- For damage, use Lightning or Light.
- Listed rewards: Gems and Menace (1%)
- No Raid Shop tab
Every clear rolls Menace at 1%. If luck doesn’t come through, the clear-count milestones do.
| Clears | Reward |
|---|---|
| 5 | “+250 Gems” |
| 10 | “+1x Trait Reroll Tokens” |
| 15 | “+1x Guaranteed Unit” (Menace) |
That means 15 clears is the ceiling on how much you have to grind for one copy.
Getting Menace from the Legacy banner
Menace is a Legacy banner unit, but it does not appear in the regular pool. You can summon it only when it is featured with a rate-up. In the lobby, check the board above the SUMMON sign: it says “Featured Units” and “2x Mythic Chance!” and shows three units that change during the day.
At 13:53 UTC on 9 Nov 2026, the board showed Elyssia, Ashborn and Honey, all Mythic, so Menace could not be pulled at that point. Only summon for it when its name is on the board. Otherwise, the raid is the reliable route. Phantom King is another Legacy banner unit, but it sits in the regular Secret pool instead.
Menace and Menace (Terror) stats
Both forms deal Physical damage with Dark as a secondary type. Both also have a 50% physical critical chance and knockback. These are base values at placement.
| Stat | Menace | Menace (Terror) |
|---|---|---|
| Damage | 308 | 431.2 |
| Attack cooldown | 6 s | 6 s |
| Range | 19 | 19 |
| Health | 2,000 | 2,000 |
| Placement cost | 1,500 | 1,500 |
| DPS at placement | 51.3 | 71.9 |
Evolving adds damage without changing the cost, so Menace (Terror) works out to 47.9 DPS per 1,000 cost. On the Update 21 tier list scale, it sits in C, between Iron Sentinel (Arsenal) and Golden Tyrant (Emperor).
How to evolve Menace into Menace (Terror)
Its evolution gives “+40% Attack, +Blade Dance, +Terror”. Before evolving it, earn 7,500 takedowns with the unit and collect the items listed below. Shiny Menace uses those same items and evolves into shiny Menace (Terror).
| Requirement | Amount | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| Menace | 1 | Mythic |
| Ice Crystallite | 4 | Legendary |
| Dark Crystallite | 4 | Legendary |
| Blood Crystallite | 2 | Legendary |
| Star Fruit | 4 | Epic |
| Star Fruit (Red) | 1 | Legendary |
| Star Fruit (Pink) | 1 | Legendary |
| Star Fruit (Green) | 1 | Legendary |
| Star Fruit (Rainbow) | 1 | Mythic |
Where to farm Crystallites
The item description says “Obtained from Virtual Dungeon Legend stages and Lis’ Daily Mission!” The Virtual Dungeon (Bosses) Legend Stages open after you clear Virtual Dungeon Act 6. Until then, they show “Must complete Virtual Dungeon: Act 6”. Each of the first three stages drops a different Crystallite, along with XP Potions.
| Stage | Crystallite drop | Runs (low roll) | Runs (high roll) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legend Stage 1 | Dark Crystallite x1-2 | 4 | 2 |
| Legend Stage 2 | Ice Crystallite x1-2 | 4 | 2 |
| Legend Stage 3 | Blood Crystallite x1-2 | 2 | 1 |
The run counts assume every drop lands on 1 or every drop lands on 2. Lis’ Daily Mission, “Kill 2500 Dungeon Monsters (any mode)”, pays x2 Dark Crystallite, x2 Ice Crystallite and 500 Gems. On 9 Nov 2026, the Quests Event tab offered only the Curses Daily Mission, so the Legend Stages are the route to farm.
Where to get Star Fruit
Star Fruit is described as “Obtained from completing Challenges and other means.” The full list of Challenge modifiers and rewards is in the Star Fruit guide. Go to Areas and then Challenges, where the menu promises “Complete Challenges for Star Fruits and other rewards!” Each roll pulls from these odds.
| Fruit | Chance per roll |
|---|---|
| Star Fruit | 43% |
| Star Fruit (Green) | 13.5% |
| Star Fruit (Red) | 13.5% |
| Star Fruit (Pink) | 13.5% |
| Star Fruit (Blue) | 13.5% |
| Star Fruit (Rainbow) | 3% |
At 3%, Star Fruit (Rainbow) is the slowest piece of the evolution, and Blue is the one color the recipe doesn’t use. Once you have the takedowns, all eight item stacks, and a Menace, the evolution turns it into Menace (Terror).
