Salmon Sorcerer is a Mythic support unit in Anime Expeditions, modeled on Toge Inumaki from Jujutsu Kaisen. He deals Magical damage with the Gale element, but his real value sits in his passives, which slow and stagger enemies that wander into his range. That makes him a natural partner for hard-hitting DPS units rather than a solo carry.
Quick answer: Summon Salmon Sorcerer from the Standard or Mini banner at a 0.5% rate (pity at 400), then evolve him into Salmon Sorcerer (Grade 1) using 1x Salmon, 20x Sprite (Green), 20x Sprite (Blue), 1x Sprite (Rainbow), and 5,000 Gold.
How to summon Salmon Sorcerer
Salmon Sorcerer sits in the summon pool for both the Standard and Mini banners. As a Mythic, his pull rate is low, so plan around the pity system if you want a guaranteed copy.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Mythic |
| Banners | Standard / Mini |
| Summon rate | 0.5% |
| Pity | 400 summons |
| Placement limit | 3 |
Evolution materials for Salmon Sorcerer (Grade 1)
The base unit is fine, but the evolved Salmon Sorcerer (Grade 1) is the version you actually want on the field. Gather the following before you commit resources.
| Material | Amount | Where to farm |
|---|---|---|
| Salmon | 1 | Clear the Tuna Tuna trial stage |
| Sprite (Green) | 20 | Regular, Daily, and Weekly Challenges; crafting |
| Sprite (Blue) | 20 | Regular, Daily, and Weekly Challenges; crafting |
| Sprite (Rainbow) | 1 | Regular, Daily, and Weekly Challenges; crafting |
| Gold | 5,000 | Stages, quests, and general progress |
Once the evolution completes, the unit portrait updates to Salmon Sorcerer (Grade 1) and both support passives become active. That is your confirmation the upgrade worked.
Passives and how his debuffs work
Salmon Sorcerer runs two passives that carry his whole kit. Both apply crowd control to enemies inside his range, which is why he is treated as a support first and a damage dealer second.
- Crumble Away: applies 20% Slow to enemies, and it holds across all upgrade levels.
- Plummet: when an enemy moves within 50% of his range, it applies Stagger for 2 seconds.
The Slow keeps enemies in your DPS units’ firing lines longer, while the Stagger interrupts their advance. Together they buy time on defenses that would otherwise get overrun.
Upgrade costs and stats
Damage and range both climb with each upgrade level. Range matters more than raw damage for a debuff unit, since a wider radius means more enemies caught by Slow and Stagger at once.
| Upgrade | Cost (¥) | Damage | Range | DPS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 650 | 82 | 19 | 13.67 |
| 1 | 1,150 | 133 | 19 | 22.93 |
| 2 | 1,650 | 170 | 20 | 30.36 |
| 3 | 2,100 | 272 | 21 | 43.87 |
| 4 | 2,650 | 411 | 21 | 68.50 |
| 5 | 3,000 | 707 | 23 | 108.77 |
| 6 | 3,650 | 792 | 25 | 121.85 |
| 7 | 4,250 | 1,079 | 26 | 143.87 |
| 8 | 5,000 | 1,150 | 28 | 157.53 |
| 9 | 5,500 | 1,178 | 30 | 168.29 |
Best placement and Traits
Place Salmon Sorcerer behind your frontline units, a short distance from the enemy spawn point. That position lets his range cover the lane early, so enemies get slowed and staggered before they reach your damage dealers.
Because his kit lives and dies on how much of the field he covers, prioritize range-boosting Traits. Any of the following work well.
- Primordial
- Optics
- Draconic
- Forsaken
- Unbound
Pair him with a strong damage unit such as Shadow (Divine), and Salmon Sorcerer becomes the piece that keeps enemies pinned long enough for that damage to land. He is not the one clearing waves, but he makes the units that do far more reliable.
