Crow is one of the hardest units to land in Anime Expeditions, and it lives on the Villain Banner rather than the standard pool. Modeled after Itachi Uchiha, it drops as a Secret-tier unit, which puts it among the rarest and most sought-after characters in the game. The catch is the currency and the pity climb, so knowing exactly where and how to spend matters before you burn thousands of tokens.
Quick answer: Summon Crow from the Villain Banner using red tokens (Villain Coins). A 50x multi-summon costs 2,500 red tokens, and the Secret Pity counter guarantees a Secret unit at 10,000 summons. Redeem codes for extra Villain Coins to fund more pulls.
What Crow is in Anime Expeditions
Crow sits in the Secret rarity tier, the top rung of the game’s roster alongside units like Shadow (Divine) and 8th Sword. It is a Dark element, Magical-type unit with an in-game deployment cost of 1,400. Secret units are the strongest and rarest characters you can field, so Crow is a long-term chase target rather than an early-game pickup.
Its kit is built around illusions and stored damage. Regular attacks tag enemies, hold the damage they take, and then release a portion back as an area hit. Combined with its Black Fire shielding loop, Crow layers steady burn damage while punishing tightly packed waves.
| Passive | Effect |
|---|---|
| Crow’s Illusion | Regular attacks apply Illusion to enemies for 12 seconds. |
| Broken Mind | Enemies in the Illusion state store all damage taken from Crow, then release 25% of the stored damage as a small 2-range AoE when Illusion expires. |
| Searing Flames | Every tick of Black Fire damage grants a shield. Enemies carrying shields inside Crow’s range gain a stack of Black Fire. |
How to pull Crow from the Villain Banner
Crow is a Villain Banner unit, which means you spend red tokens (Villain Coins), not Gems. Multi-summons are the efficient way to grind the pity counter, since each batch moves you closer to a guaranteed Secret drop while still leaving room for a lucky early hit.
Note: A single 50x batch can return multiple units at once. One pull sequence, for example, returned a Golden Queen and eight copies of Alchemist (Boss) alongside the Crow drop, so useful side units accumulate while you chase the Secret.
Secret Pity and how the guarantee works
The Villain Banner tracks three pity meters at once, covering Legendary, Mythic, and Secret pulls. Crow falls under the Secret Pity meter. That counter caps at 10,000 summons, and reaching it forces a Secret unit if you have not hit one by chance before then.
You do not need to reach the ceiling to land Crow. Secret drops can trigger far earlier, well below the halfway mark on the pity meter, so every batch carries a chance regardless of your count. The 10,000 figure is a safety net, not a requirement.
| Detail | Value |

Stock up on red tokens with codes
Running 50x batches drains red tokens fast, so free Villain Coins from codes stretch your pity climb. Active Anime Expeditions codes hand out Villain Coins alongside Trait Crystals and rerolls, and they expire without much warning once new updates land.
- 300kccu — 100 Trait Crystals and 1,500 Villain Coins
- VillainInvasion — 50 Trait Crystals and 1,000 Villain Coins
- 250kccu — 100 Trait Crystals
To redeem, open the menu from the three dots in the top corner, choose Redeem Codes, type a working code, and confirm. There is also a Razorjaw NPC near spawn that opens the same redemption window if you prefer to walk over to it.
How to confirm you pulled Crow
After a successful pull, the Obtained Rewards screen lists Crow with a Secret Unit tag. Close that screen and open your character inventory, where Crow appears as a selectable Level 1 unit you can inspect as a 3D model. Seeing the Secret Unit label on the reward screen is your confirmation that the summon landed.
If Crow does not appear, the most common reasons are simple. You may have been summoning on the standard Gem banner instead of the Villain Banner, or you ran out of red tokens mid-batch. Confirm the correct banner tab is selected and that your red token balance covers a full 2,500-token multi before trying again.
Once Crow is in your roster, its Illusion and Black Fire loop scales best against dense waves, so slot it where enemies stack up and let the stored-damage releases do the heavy lifting.
