Godly Shimon (Supreme Commander) is one of Anime Last Stand’s most demanding evolutions so far. You have to pull the right base unit, grind a low‑drop Trial item, clear a stack of Godly quests, and then run a very specific interaction inside the Spiral Trial to unlock his final mode.
Godly Shimon requirements at a glance
To evolve into Shimon (Supreme Commander), you need a fully evolved Shimon (Digger) plus a set of rare items and resources.
| Requirement | How many | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Shimon (Digger) | x1 | Evolution of Shimon (Celestial) using Core Drill + Mythic Spirit Shards |
| Super Mask | x1 | Drop from Spiral Trial while using Anti-Spiral (Negative) and Shimon (Digger) |
| Helix of Drill | x1 | Crafted from Empty Helix + Glyph of Drill after finishing all Shimon Godly quests |
| Cosmic Essence | x500 | Crafted at Divine Crafter from elemental Essences + Gold |
| Spiral Essence | x500 | Drops from Kamina City Legendary Stage |
| Mythic Spirit Shard | x25 | Weekly/Daily challenges in Raids |
On top of that, you need Yolo (M82) and Lord Gnome (Awesome) for the Godly questline, and Lord Gnome again for the in‑Trial interaction that unlocks Shimon’s full upgrade path.
How to get Shimon (Celestial)
Everything starts with the base Celestial version of Shimon. He sits on Selection Banner 4.
| Step | Action | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Open Selection Banner 4 | Shimon is placed in the middle row of the banner grid. |
| 2 | Select Shimon as target | Lock him in so your rolls focus that unit. |
| 3 | Roll using Jewels | Each spin costs ~300 Jewels; 10,000–30,000 Jewels is a realistic budget for a Celestial. |
Shimon was briefly available from a Halloween event, but for new players Selection Banner 4 is the intended route.
How to evolve Shimon into Shimon (Digger)
The first evolution step turns Shimon into Shimon (Digger). That requires a low‑probability Trial drop and Mythic Spirit Shards.
| Material | Amount | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Core Drill | x1 | Spiral Trial (2.5% drop chance) |
| Mythic Spirit Shard | x20 | Weekly and daily Raid challenges |
Run Spiral Trial until the Core Drill drops; the 2.5% rate means this is a long grind. Once you have the Core Drill and 20 Mythic Spirit Shards, evolve Shimon into Shimon (Digger) through the usual evolve interface.
How to get Super Mask
Super Mask is a hidden drop tied to how you queue into Spiral Trial.
| Condition | Details |
|---|---|
| Required units | Equip Anti-Spiral (Negative) and Shimon (Digger) before starting Spiral Trial. |
| Gamemode | Any successful entry into Spiral Trial while those two units are in your loadout. |
| Drop behavior | Super Mask is granted when you return to lobby; it does not appear in the in‑run reward list. |
| Anti-Spiral acquisition | 5% drop from Spiral Trial. |
Win or lose, as long as Anti-Spiral (Negative) and Shimon (Digger) are equipped, Super Mask is added to your inventory after the run.
Shimon Godly Trial quests and Helix of Drill
Helix of Drill is crafted from an Empty Helix and a Glyph of Drill, but the Glyph only appears after you clear all eight Shimon Godly quests. These quests sit on top of the Spiral Trial content and a couple of related units.
| # | Quest | How to complete it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Obtain 100 Cosmic Essence | Use the Divine Crafter to convert basic Essences and Gold into Cosmic Essence. |
| 2 | Kill 250 Spiral Enhanced enemies | Farm Spiral Trial until your cumulative kill count of Spiral‑tagged mobs hits 250. |
| 3 | Feel the Negative Spiral's Wrath | Allow the Spiral boss to bring your HP to zero at least once in Spiral Trial. |
| 4 | Clear Spiral's Wrath with two other players | Finish a full Spiral Trial run in a trio (you + two others). |
| 5 | Clear Spiral 10 times using Shimon (Digger) | Slot Shimon (Digger) into your loadout and clear Spiral Trial 10 separate times. |
| 6 | Clear Spiral Trial without taking damage from "True Spiral" | Finish a full Spiral Trial run where the True Spiral attack never hits you. |
| 7 | Obtain Yolo (M82) | Pull Yolo from Selection Banner, then evolve to Yolo (M82) using HM82, Spiral Essence, and Mythic Spirit Shards. |
| 8 | Obtain Lord Gnome (Awesome) | Get Lord Gnome from Kamina City Legend stage and evolve to Lord Gnome (Awesome) with Preservation Tank, Nature Essence, Spiral Essence, and Mythic Spirit Shards. |
Quest 1 is more crafting than combat, and Quest 3 literally asks you to die to the boss once. The rest revolve around repeatedly clearing Spiral Trial and picking up two evolutions that already interact with the Spiral content.
How to craft Cosmic Essence efficiently
Cosmic Essence is both a Godly quest objective (100 units) and a core ingredient in the final Godly evolution (500 units).
| Recipe item | Per‑Cosmic requirement | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Water Essence | x1 | Raid modes |
| Fire Essence | x1 | Raid modes |
| Nature Essence | x1 | Raid modes |
| Dark Essence | x1 | Raid modes |
| Light Essence | x1 | Raid modes |
| Gold | x100 | Any standard farming activity |
All crafting is done at the Divine Crafter. You need 100 Cosmic Essence for the quest and 500 for the final evolution, so plan your Essence farming around at least 600 crafts in total if you have none banked.
How to obtain Spiral Essence and Mythic Spirit Shard
Two currencies are shared across Shimon (Digger), Yolo (M82), Lord Gnome (Awesome), and the final Shimon (Supreme Commander) evolution: Spiral Essence and Mythic Spirit Shards.
| Currency | Primary use in this path | Where to farm |
|---|---|---|
| Spiral Essence | Evolution materials for Yolo (M82), Lord Gnome (Awesome), and the final Godly | Kamina City Legendary Stage |
| Mythic Spirit Shard | Evolutions for Shimon (Digger), Yolo (M82), Lord Gnome (Awesome), final Godly | Weekly and daily Raids challenges |
Because multiple units in the chain consume both currencies, it’s worth stockpiling significantly more than the exact minimum. Yolo and Lord Gnome evolutions alone use several hundred Spiral Essence and multiple sets of Mythic Spirit Shards each.
How to get Yolo (M82) and Lord Gnome (Awesome)
Two of the Godly quests explicitly ask for evolved versions of support units tied to the Spiral content.
| Unit | Base acquisition | Evolution recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Yolo (M82) | Selection Banner | x1 HM82, x300 Spiral Essence, x15 Mythic Spirit Shard |
| Lord Gnome (Awesome) | Lord Gnome drops from Kamina City Legend Stage (4% chance) | x1 Preservation Tank, x350 Nature Essence, x300 Spiral Essence, x15 Mythic Spirit Shard |
Once you evolve them, the corresponding Godly quests auto‑complete when you visit the quest menu, unlocking Glyph of Drill as a reward when all eight objectives are done.
How to craft Helix of Drill
With the Godly questline cleared, you receive the Glyph of Drill. Helix of Drill is a straightforward craft at the Divine Crafter.
| Item | Needed for Helix of Drill | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Empty Helix | x1 | Generic Godly crafting base used by multiple units. |
| Glyph of Drill | x1 | Reward for finishing all eight Shimon Godly quests. |
Combine Empty Helix and Glyph of Drill in the Divine Crafter to get Helix of Drill. This item then slots into the Shimon (Supreme Commander) evolution recipe alongside Super Mask and the various Essences.
How to perform the final evolution to Shimon (Supreme Commander)
Once you have all the items and currencies, the actual evolution step looks like any other high‑tier Evo: you feed Shimon (Digger) a set of specific items and confirm.
| Final evolution ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Shimon (Digger) | x1 |
| Super Mask | x1 |
| Helix of Drill | x1 |
| Cosmic Essence | x500 |
| Spiral Essence | x500 |
| Mythic Spirit Shard | x25 |
Feed these materials into Shimon (Digger) in the Evo menu and confirm. After the animation, he becomes Shimon (Supreme Commander), gains the Cosmic element and Soul subtype, and unlocks access to the Godly upgrade tree.
How to unlock Shimon’s secret interaction and full upgrades
Shimon (Supreme Commander) has an extra layer of progression tied to a lore‑driven interaction inside the Spiral Trial. Without doing it, you can’t access his full 18‑upgrade path or his permanent “Super Tengen” mode.
| Phase | Requirement | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Equip Shimon (Supreme Commander) and Lord Gnome (Awesome) | Both units must be in your loadout before launching Spiral Trial. |
| Trigger | Let True Spiral’s cone AoE kill Lord Gnome | Once Lord Gnome is hit and goes down, a special interaction prompt appears on Shimon. |
| First unlock | Activate Shimon’s ability after Lord Gnome falls | This plays a cutscene, strips current buffs, and opens upgrades beyond a certain tier. |
| Second condition | Reach upgrade 12 and defeat Anti-Spiral’s first form | After the first form dies, sell all other units so the boss targets Shimon directly. |
| Final collision | When the red cone attack targets Shimon, use his active ability | The “drill clash” cutscene plays; from then on, his enhanced form and full kit are permanently unlocked. |
Once you’ve seen that final cutscene at least once, you do not need to repeat the entire interaction chain: the full upgrade tree and enhanced active ability remain available in future runs.
What Shimon (Supreme Commander) actually does
Shimon’s Godly form is built to break shields, amplify buffs, and scale to absurd damage numbers over long waves. A few traits define how he plays:
| Trait | Effect |
|---|---|
| Element: Cosmic | Deals Cosmic damage, with roughly 250% damage modifiers against Dark and Light enemies. |
| Subtype: Soul | Deals 50% more damage to shielded enemies and can ignore shield gating. |
| Leader buff | When set as leader, increases strength of all range‑based buffs in the team by 25%. |
| Debuff loop | Repeated hits on the same target apply a sequence of status effects (Cripple, Bleed, Mutilate, Raptor, Shred, Negation, Dismantle). |
| Stun immunity | Clears stuns and debuffs immediately; the next attack becomes full AoE and applies all seven debuffs at once. |
| Team sharing | Shares 25% of his damage, crit damage, and crit chance to allies in range, capped at 50 billion damage, 1000% crit damage, and 55% crit chance. |
| Scaling passive | Gains damage whenever allies in range attack, up to a large percentage increase per unit. |
| Giga Drill Breaker | Active ability that deals 50 billion damage times the number of enemies in range, and applies 10 random status effects to everything hit. |
After the secret interaction, a further upgrade converts his kit into a more aggressive “Super Tengen” mode, trading current buffs for much higher base damage, better damage sharing, and a dramatically stronger version of Giga Drill Breaker (damage boosted by hundreds of billions per cast and double scaling with enemy count).
In practice, that leaves Shimon straddling two roles: a top‑end hybrid DPS with damage in the hundreds of billions when fully stacked, and a support core that turns nearby carries into monsters by sharing a large slice of his stats. The shield‑piercing Soul subtype and stun immunity make him especially valuable in content where shielded and control‑heavy bosses normally shut down standard carries.
Reaching that point does demand a lot: rare Trial drops, Raid farming, multiple evolutions, and a nearly hour‑long interaction run inside Spiral Trial. But once Shimon (Supreme Commander) is in your roster with his secret unlocked, he sits comfortably in the group of meta‑defining Godly units for raids, Trials, and late‑game Infinite runs.
