Equipment in Anime Expeditions is gear you attach to your units to increase combat stats like Damage, SPA (attack speed), and Range. It is one of the most important progression systems in the game, and without well-rolled gear on your main units, you will stall in hard content even with strong characters.
Every piece of equipment has randomized stat values inside a defined range, meaning two copies of the exact same item can perform very differently depending on the percentages they roll. Getting the item is step one; rolling the right stats on it is step two, and that’s where most of the endgame effort goes.
How to Get Equipment in Anime Expeditions
There are several main ways to get equipment: farming Story Mode and Raids for drops, checking event shops, and crafting through the Armory.
Story Mode Drops
Clearing Story Mode maps is the most accessible way to get equipment, especially early in the game. Higher level maps drop better gear, and Hard and Mastery variants of the same map drop stronger pieces including unit exclusive items. Mastery stages also include a pity system that guarantees a drop after a set number of clears, making them reliable to farm repeatedly.
Raids and Raid Shops
Raid bosses drop strong gear directly, and their shops stock high tier equipment and Reroll consumables purchasable with Raid and Spirit tokens earned from clearing Raid Acts. Clearing a Raid Act can reward a batch of Raid tokens and Spirit tokens at once, which can then be spent at named vendors near the Raid area. Once you can reliably run Raids, they become one of the best sources for high quality gear and Reroll tokens.
Events
Limited time event shops (such as Headliner Hunt or Elemental Weather) regularly stock exclusive gear and Reroll/Lock items using event specific currency, not available through standard farming. Always check event shops and clear them before the event ends.
Crafting Through the Armory
The Armory lets you forge specific equipment pieces using materials instead of relying purely on RNG drops, making it the most targeted way to get an exact item type. See the Armory section below for how to unlock it.
How to Unlock the Armory
The Armory is the crafting hub for equipment and does not open automatically. Here’s how to unlock it:
Step 1: Reach Around Level 20
The Expedition Hub becomes accessible once you reach approximately level 20. Clear Story Mode maps to level up quickly.
Step 2: Enter the Expedition Hub
Navigate to the Expedition Hub from the main menu or world map once it becomes available.
Step 3: Talk to the NPC
Look for the NPC named Fyrbrand (also referred to as Farren in some community guides). Interact with them to start the Armory unlock.
Step 4: Pay the Unlock Fee
Community guides commonly cite an unlock cost of around 10,000 in game Cash, though this figure is community reported rather than officially published, so treat it as approximate.
Step 5: Upgrade to Armory Level 2
The base Armory offers limited features. Upgrading to Level 2 by progressing through Expedition mode unlocks full gear forging and stat customization.
Expedition mode is both your Armory upgrade path and your main source of crafting materials, so running it regularly is essential.
Materials needed for crafting:
- Equipment Scraps (dropped from Expedition runs)
- Equipment Orbs (obtained through Expedition mode and related activities)
The crafting loop: Run Expeditions to gather materials, forge the gear piece you need at the Armory, then bring it into Story Mode or Raids and use Rerolls to optimize its stats.
How to Roll Equipment Stats in Anime Expeditions
Rolling equipment stats is done using a consumable called Equipment Reroll. This is the core of the gear optimization system and the most searched part of the equipment guide for a reason.
What Equipment Reroll Does
An Equipment Reroll token randomizes the unlocked stats on a gear piece within their allowed percentage ranges. The item’s name and type stay the same, only the stat values get re-randomized, and you can repeat this as many times as you have tokens.
Note: exact stat percentage examples vary by item and are not fixed values published by the developers; treat any specific percentage example as illustrative rather than guaranteed.
What Equipment Lock Does
Equipment Lock is the paired item to Reroll. It freezes one specific stat so it cannot be changed by future Rerolls. Once you roll a strong percentage on a stat, applying a Lock protects it while you keep Rerolling the remaining stats freely.
Without Lock, every Reroll risks replacing a stat you worked hard to get, so it’s best to lock a good roll before continuing.
How to Roll Equipment Stats: Step by Step
- Go to your equipment inventory and select the gear piece you want to improve.
- Use an Equipment Reroll token; all unlocked stats re-randomize.
- If a stat hits a strong number, apply an Equipment Lock to protect it.
- Continue Rerolling the remaining stats until they reach solid values.
- Apply additional Locks as needed while rolling the rest.
- Stop once stats are “good enough.” Only chase near perfect rolls if you have a surplus of tokens, since Rerolls are a limited resource.
Anime Expeditions Equipment Reroll: Where to Get Tokens
Equipment Reroll and Equipment Lock tokens come from multiple sources, and keeping a steady supply is important for active gear optimization. Note: reported prices vary noticeably across community sources, so treat all figures below as approximate and subject to change.
| Source | Item Available | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Gold Shop | Equipment Reroll | Reported prices vary; some cite around 2,500 Gold per token, others report bundle pricing such as 25 to 30 rerolls for 5,000 to 25,000 Gold total. Confirm current in game pricing before relying on a fixed number |
| Raid Shop | Reroll and Lock | Vendors near Raid areas sell rerolls for Raid/Spirit tokens earned from Act clears |
| Spirit City Shop | Reroll and Lock | Check stock each time you visit |
| Event Shops | Reroll and Lock | Limited time, tied to specific events like Headliner Hunt; always a priority |
| Challenges | Reroll and Lock | Awarded in batches with no Gold cost; some sources report up to several dozen per day across all challenges |
| Daily and Weekly Missions | Reroll | Reliable passive income |
| Battle Pass | Reroll and Lock | Tiered rewards each season |
| Boss Drops (Expedition Mode) | Reroll | Some sources note rerolls only appear after defeating an Expedition boss; if none appear, restarting the game can refresh the drop |
| Promo Codes | Reroll and Lock | Some active codes have been reported to grant instant rerolls; availability changes frequently |
A commonly recommended routine is to clear Challenges, check the Gold Shop, and clear Expedition/event shops daily. Several sources suggest this combination can yield roughly 80 to 100+ rerolls per day when done consistently, though actual totals depend on the current game economy and events.
Best Equipment in Anime Expeditions: Stat Priorities
Not all stats are equal. Here’s what community guides generally treat as reroll priority, though this can shift depending on unit role.
Damage (Top Priority for Carries)
Damage percentage is widely treated as the most valuable stat on carry units, since it directly multiplies output and has a major impact on clearing hard content. Most guides recommend chasing Damage first on carry gear.
SPA (Second Priority)
SPA (Seconds Per Attack) measures attack speed. Higher SPA means more frequent attacks, which compounds with Damage for greater total DPS, making it a common second target.
Range (Third Priority)
Range is situationally valuable and helps units cover more ground, but it’s generally treated as secondary to raw damage output for most carry builds.
Niche and Utility Stats (Build Dependent)
Small utility bonuses and specific stats are usually lower priority unless you’re running a deliberate synergy build that relies on them, in which case they can matter more than the general order above suggests.
Note on priority order: Damage, SPA, and Range as a general order reflects broad community consensus for typical carry units, but optimal priority can vary by unit role, team composition, and build type.
Types of Equipment: Standard vs Exclusive
All gear falls into one of two types.
Standard Equipment can be used by any unit in your roster and drops commonly from Story Mode and Expedition runs, making it good for filling gear slots while you farm for better pieces.
Exclusive Equipment is unit specific and only works on the character it was designed for. These items generally have higher stat ceilings than standard gear for that specific unit and drop from harder content like Hard and Mastery stages and Raids. If you get an exclusive piece for one of your main carries, treat it as a high priority for Rerolling.
Final Thoughts
Getting good equipment in Anime Expeditions is only half the work. Rolling the right stats through the Reroll and Lock system is what separates average builds from top performing ones. The process is straightforward once understood: farm or craft the right item type, reroll toward strong stats, lock the good ones, then continue optimizing the rest.
Prioritize your carries, keep a steady supply of Reroll and Lock tokens through multiple sources rather than relying on just one, and avoid wasting tokens on gear you plan to replace soon.
