Current for Update 1.0 (Warriors Saga).
This unit page belongs to the Anime Expeditions Wiki.
Prodigy is the index name. Gohan is the inspiration nickname. Secret. Light + Physical. Placement limit 3. Evolves into Prodigy (Rage).
Unlock him. He is the Update 1.0 secret carry. Dark Mage stays the best dedicated lightning DPS if you already have him. You want both. See the tier list.
How you get it
Talk to the East Town NPC and finish this list:
- Clear East Town once.
- Play one tournament.
- Clear a boss node on difficulty 3.
- Collect 350 mechanical scrap.
- Complete Prodigy’s Trial.
Re-open the NPC before you grind. The trial copy comes with Primordial and three placements. Unbound is a debate on a 3-placement unit — Primordial is the safe first trait.
Prodigy’s Trial
Farm first. Place three Stone Alchemist farms. Do not place damage for the first waves. Max the farms.
Around wave 7: place the first Prodigy on a late bend, plus a Hero for the physical damage buff. Prodigy is Physical, so that buff matches.
Upgrade 4: get Light Rays online.
Three copies. Place all three, each next to a Hero. Toggle Father and Son Spirit Energy on the maxed copies (Rage upgrade 7).
Boss: Bioinsect with a 50-hit shield. If the boss walks out of range, sell a Prodigy + Hero and replace them further down the path.
Dark Mage lightning orbs do not chew this shield. Leave Judar on the bench for this trial.
Kit
| Fact | Number |
|---|---|
| Rarity / lane | Secret; Update 1.0 |
| Types | Light + Physical |
| Placement | 3 |
| Base place cost | ¥1,150 at upgrade 0 |
| Evolve | Prodigy → Prodigy (Rage): Rage Catalyst ×1, Sprite (Red) ×20, Sprite (Blue) ×20, Sprite (Rainbow) ×1, Gold ×10,000 |
| Unyielding Spirit | Regular attacks vs a statused enemy: +10% damage per stack of each status (cap 100). If the status is a DoT: refresh it and change the source to this unit, once per DoT type per enemy |
| Hidden Potential (Rage) | Upgrade 3: Prodigy Transformation; every 4 regulars deal 25% of this unit’s damage to all enemies in range. Upgrade 5 unlocks Rage Unleashed |
| Rage Unleashed | Meter starts at 0. +5 per regular, +1 when enemies leave range. At 100: drop the meter, enter Transformation 2 (+25% damage; every 3 regulars deal 75% in range) |
| Father and Son Spirit Energy | New ability at Rage upgrade 7 |
Hidden Potential is every 4 / 25%, not every 3 / 50%. Use the table.
Placement damage sits around 6,000 after the 1,150 place cost. That is a feel number, not a meter proof.
What you strap on
He is Light + Physical. Strap Pole and Shinigami. If Pole is missing, Warrior’s Axe is the stand-in.
| Piece | Why you strap it |
|---|---|
| Pole + Shinigami | The pairing that matches his Physical kit |
| Warrior’s Axe | The stand-in when Pole is not in the bag |
Who feeds Unyielding
Pair him with a DoT unit such as Crow so Unyielding Spirit has stacks to eat. Bleed from Uta also feeds the steal. Rewind and slow are not DoTs — they do not refresh on him.
Put leftover copies into Ascension.
Does rewind feed Unyielding?
No. Status stacks still raise his damage. Only a DoT is stolen and refreshed, once per DoT type per enemy.
