Anime Expeditions Kitsune – How to Get Sparkle’s Twin and Master Her Active Ability

Anime Expeditions added Kitsune with the Update 2.0 Summer Siege patch, and this unit has quickly become a fan favorite. Kitsune takes clear inspiration from Sparkle in Honkai: Star Rail, right down to her design and support playstyle. She holds Exclusive rarity, which puts her a notch above regular Mythic units in terms of value. Unlike most new characters, Kitsune cannot be summoned through gacha pulls. She comes from a separate progression system, and that alone makes her stand out from the rest of the Summer Siege roster.

Kitsune fills a support role rather than a damage role. She does not need any evolution either, since she arrives at max form the moment you claim her. That saves players a lot of grinding compared to other Update 2.0 units, most of which require a full evolution material chain to reach their strongest state.

Kitsune’s Passives and Active Ability Explained

Kitsune runs on three separate passives, and each one builds toward her active ability. Understanding how they connect helps us use her far more effectively in real runs.

• Red Herring gives Kitsune skill points that build up through regular attacks, capping at three points.
• Dream Diver changes her attack pattern once she holds a skill point, cutting her SPA by 15 percent and raising attack speed by 15 percent for ten seconds, then shifting her focus to the next unit in range.
• Monodrama fills a showtime meter through attacks and buffs, and once that meter hits 100, her active ability unlocks.

Her active ability is where Kitsune truly separates herself from other support units. Activating it maxes out her skill points instantly, drops her own SPA until those points run out, and boosts every ally’s damage in range by 35 percent for 30 seconds. That is a massive team-wide buff, and it applies to any unit standing near her, not just one target.

Here is the insight most guides skip. Kitsune’s active has a local cooldown, not a shared one. That means placing multiple copies of her lets you stagger the buffs and keep that 35 percent damage boost running almost nonstop. Players who set up two or three Kitsunes and time their activations correctly can maintain something close to a permanent damage loop. This single detail turns her from a decent support pick into one of the strongest team enablers in the current meta, especially for leaderboard pushes where sustained damage output matters more than burst.

The tradeoff is upgrade cost. Kitsune becomes expensive to level up quickly, so budget your resources with her in mind rather than spreading cash evenly across your whole roster.

How to Get Kitsune in Anime Expeditions

Kitsune does not drop from banners or capsules. She comes from completing the Kitsune Bingo board, a limited-time minigame found in the Events menu. The board fills with stamps that enemies drop across nearly every mode in the game, including Story, Infinite, Challenge, Mastery, Raid, Portal, Tower, and Tidal Siege.

Completing the board one full time hands you Kitsune directly. You do not need to grind anything beyond normal play, since stamps drop from modes most players already run daily. That makes her one of the more accessible Exclusive units the game has introduced so far, even though the drop itself relies on chance.

Best Farming Route for Kitsune Bingo Stamps

Stamp drops follow a hidden pity system, so a long stretch without one usually means a guaranteed drop is close. Players have tested several stages, and two options consistently perform well.

Rose Kingdom Infinite gives a chance at a bonus portal drop alongside stamps, which adds extra value to each run. School Grounds Infinite works faster overall because its enemies summon additional waves of minions, effectively multiplying your stamp chances per run.

A common approach is running Infinite mode up to around wave 25, then restarting once the run crosses into wave 26. This keeps each cycle short and repeatable, which matters more than pushing for higher waves when your goal is stamp volume rather than survival time. Pairing a fast wave clearer with fully upgraded farm units keeps your economy strong through each cycle, and setting units to auto reduces the manual work needed across repeated restarts.

Getting Shiny Kitsune

Completing the Kitsune Bingo board once is not the end of the grind. Filling the board a total of ten times gives players a chance at Shiny Kitsune, a cosmetic variant of the same unit. The exact odds for this version have not been confirmed, so treat ten completions as a chance rather than a guarantee. Players chasing the shiny variant should expect to repeat the same farming route multiple times, since each board completion functions as one attempt at the bonus reward.

Is Kitsune Worth Using

Kitsune earns her spot in most competitive team comps, particularly for score-based modes and leaderboard runs where consistent damage buffs outweigh raw single-target output. Her free acquisition method also means every player can access her without spending real currency, which is rare for a unit this strong. The only real downside is her upgrade cost, so plan your cash income around her if you want to unlock her active ability early.

For players building a long-term roster in Anime Expeditions, Kitsune is worth prioritizing over several capsule-based Mythics from the same update. Her team-wide buff, free acquisition path, and stackable active ability make her one of the most efficient units to invest in during Update 2.0.
