Valcrad (Alucard) Unit Guide - Anime Origins Wiki
Everything about Valcrad (Alucard), the 0.01% Secret banner unit in Anime Origins — full passive breakdown, evolution path, best traits and how to place him.
Overview
Valcrad (Alucard) is the banner Secret unit in Anime Origins, obtainable at roughly 0.01% odds. His kit combines crit scaling, bleed damage and Boss-stunning traps, making him one of the strongest units in the game. This guide covers every passive, his evolution and the best traits to roll.
Obtaining the Secret Alucard
Watch how a player spends 20K Robux to obtain the evolved Alucard in Anime Origins. This video shows his stats, trait options and how he performs in real matches. It is the clearest demonstration of why Alucard is considered the best Secret unit in the current meta.
Who Is Valcrad (Alucard)?
Valcrad (Alucard) is inspired by the legendary vampire hunter and translated into a devastating tower defense unit. Every attack can crit, bleeding enemies empower him, and his Coffin Trap seals Bosses for seven seconds. Few units combine this much damage and control, which is why he tops the meta charts.
His power scales the longer he fights. Third Eye rewards critical hits with permanent range, Bloodthirst rewards keeping enemies bleeding, and Restriction Release rewards kill streaks by lowering his restriction level. Learn the full loop in the beginner guide before investing.
Alucard's Passives
This table breaks down all four of Alucard's passives and how they interact. Each passive triggers in different situations, so understanding them is key to placing him correctly. Pair this table with the traits guide to maximise his potential. Crit, bleed and boss-control all stack into one snowball effect.
| Passive | Effect |
|---|---|
| Third Eye | +15% Crit Chance; every critical hit permanently adds +1% range, up to +10%. |
| Bloodthirst | +3% damage for every bleeding enemy in range, stacking up to +10%. |
| Coffin Trap | When a Boss enters range, a coffin is placed; it seals and stuns the Boss for 7 seconds (shared 18s cooldown). |
| Restriction Release | Every 36 defeated enemies lowers restriction by 1; at level 4 gains a +10% damage boost and summons Ghouls. |
How to Get & Evolve Alucard

Passive Playstyles
Third Eye is Alucard's snowball passive. With +15% crit chance, most attacks crit, and each crit permanently increases his range up to +10%. This turns him into a long-range powerhouse over the course of a match, rewarding aggressive investment early.
Bloodthirst turns bleeding enemies into a damage buff. Each bleeding enemy in range grants +3% damage, stacking up to +10%, so pairing Alucard with bleed-applying units or the Decay trait multiplies his output. The traits guide lists every bleed-related option.
Coffin Trap and Restriction Release give Alucard unmatched control. When a Boss enters range, a coffin seals and stuns it for seven seconds, and every 36 kills lowers his restriction until he summons Ghouls at level 4. Few units offer this much utility.
Third Eye
Crit chance and permanent range growth.
Bloodthirst
Damage scales with bleeding enemies.
Coffin Trap
Seals and stuns Bosses for 7 seconds.
Alucard Tips
Alucard rewards players who understand positioning and pacing. Place him at chokepoints where Bosses pass, keep enemies bleeding, and let Restriction Release snowball. Never sell him, and prioritise his evolution over new summons. Check the meta units page to see how he fits top teams.
- Place Alucard where Bosses must cross his range.
- Pair him with bleed units or the Decay trait.
- Save gems for rate-ups rather than random pulls.
Alucard Checklist
Treat Alucard like a project with clear milestones. First, save enough gems for a rate-up banner; second, pull until you get him; third, feed him every EXP shard you earn; fourth, evolve him as soon as materials allow. The gems guide and the beginner guide both explain how to stay efficient while you grind through the early game.
Once he is in your roster, never spread his upgrades thin. A single maxed Alucard outperforms a bench of half-upgraded units, so prioritise his evolution and star level above everything else. The meta units page shows how much damage he contributes at full power.
Finally, keep a mental checklist of his synergies. Bleed units and the Decay trait feed Bloodthirst, supports keep him alive during long boss fights, and his Coffin Trap handles the biggest threats. The support units guide lists the best teammates for him, and the traits guide helps you pick the perfect rolls for his kit.
- Save gems exclusively for rate-up banners until he drops.
- Feed Alucard first, before any other unit.
- Pair him with bleed and support units for maximum output.
