If you're after a powerful unit to help you secure victory, you need to look no further than Anime Vanguards Igris, though his name is actually Igros in-game. This character is incredibly powerful, which means he's also very hard to get your hands on - we can tell you what to do, though. Plus, for when you do eventually have Igros, we can tell you how to make the most out of summoning him.
One look at our Anime Vanguards tier list shows you just how powerful Igros is among the units, while our Anime Vanguards codes guide can help offset some of the cost of upgrading the knight to his full potential.
Here's what you need to know about Anime Vanguards' Igris:
How do I get Anime Vanguards' Igris?
Anime Vanguards' Igris is going to give you a really hard time. If you really want this unit (and its prowess in battle means you do), you need to prepare yourself to spend potentially hours redoing Act 3: Dungeon Disaster, as you're only hope of getting Igris for it to drop as a reward for this quest. However, the odds of this happening are 0.75%.
How do I evolve Anime Vanguards' Igris?
Igros is great, no question, but he has the potential to be more. Igros (Elite Knight) is one of the best units in the entire game, but it takes a considerable amount of effort to evolve Igros. You need to have:
- 30k gold
- 32 green essence
- Ten red essence
- 12 blood-red armor
- Ten blue essence
- Ten pink essence
- One rainbow essence
Once you have everything you need, head to the main lobby and go to the evolve desk. That's it, simply select Igros to evolve him.
How many times can I summon Anime Vanguards' Igris?
You can summon both Igros and Igros (Elite Knight) three times per battle; this is a bit of a double-edged sword, as while these units are incredibly powerful, they cost a lot of gold and even more if you want to upgrade them to their full potential, leaving you with little gold to invest in your other units.
Anime Vanguards Igris' upgrades
There's no stopping Anime Vanguards' Igros when you max out his upgrades, but, like most things in this game, it costs you some valuable gold. In fact, if you want to max him out, you need to be ready to part with 40.5k gold, and you can double that for Igros (Elite Knight).
