Crimson Captain is a Secret-tier unit added to Anime Expeditions in the Endless Hellflame update on September 25, 2026. It deals Flame element, Magical type damage, and its design draws from Benimaru of the Fire Force series. Unlocking it takes a specific currency, a specific banner, and a crafted item for its evolved form.
Quick answer: Summon Crimson Captain from the District 7 Secret Banner for 100 Infernal Dust per roll, with pity guaranteeing it at 300 pulls, then craft the Mysterious Mask to evolve it into Crimson Captain (Moon).
What you need before summoning Crimson Captain
The whole process runs on Infernal Dust, which you earn by clearing the District 7 Boss Rush event. You then spend that dust on the District 7 Secret Banner, where Crimson Captain sits behind a Secret-rarity drop rate.
- Infernal Dust — farmed from the District 7 Boss Rush event.
- 100 Infernal Dust per single roll on the District 7 Secret Banner.
- 3,000 Infernal Dust for a bulk purchase of 30 rolls.
- A one-in-300 chance per roll, with pity guaranteeing the unit at 300 pulls.
The pity counter climbs as you roll, so even an unlucky streak still ends in a guaranteed Crimson Captain once you hit 300 on the Secret Pity meter.
How to summon Crimson Captain
How to evolve Crimson Captain into Moon form
Crimson Captain (Moon) is the evolved version, and the gate is a Secret-tier crafted item called the Mysterious Mask. Build the mask first, then take it to the Evolve station.
Step 1: Craft the Mysterious Mask
Head to the Crafting station and combine the required Spirite materials with Gold. The recipe calls for the following:
- 5x Spirite (Red)
- 5x Spirite (Purple)
- 5x Spirite (Pink)
- 10,000 Gold
Step 2: Evolve at the Evolve station
Take the finished Mysterious Mask to the Evolve area and combine it with the remaining evolution materials to transform the base unit. Once the evolution completes, Crimson Captain (Moon) replaces the base version in your collection, gaining a higher damage ceiling and a single-placement limit.
Exact Spirite quantities and the Gold cost for the final evolution can shift between game versions, so check the live requirements shown on the Evolve station before spending materials.
Crimson Captain (Moon) stats
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Secret |
| Element | Flame and Magical |
| DMG | 330 |
| SPA | 3.4s |
| RNG | 13 |
SPA is seconds per attack, so a lower number means the unit fires faster. These figures are the listed base values and do not include boosts from traits, equipment, or support units.
Best trait and exclusive equipment
Crimson Captain (Moon) pairs best with the Mythic trait Unbound, which adds 350% damage, cuts SPA by 5%, and extends range by 10% on a single placement. That fits the unit’s role as a heavy single-target and area damage dealer built around Flame damage-over-time.
Its exclusive equipment is the Beacon of Pride, which grants the Scorched Earth passive. Stacking Scorched on enemies inside the unit’s range makes them take more damage from Flame units and Fire damage-over-time, and it stacks further with equipment like Burning Critter for amplified burn ticks.
Once you have summoned Crimson Captain, crafted the Mysterious Mask, and completed the evolution, the Moon form is ready to place. Fitting it with Unbound and the Beacon of Pride turns it into a strong Flame-based carry for the tougher stages in Anime Expeditions.
