Secret Units Guide - Anime Origins Wiki
The rarest characters in Anime Origins — Valcrad (Alucard) and Cursed Lover (Pure Love) Yuta — with full passive breakdowns, evolution info and acquisition methods.
Overview
Secret units are the rarest and most powerful characters in Anime Origins, sitting at the top of the rarity ladder above Mythic. At launch there are two: Valcrad (Alucard), pulled from the banner, and Cursed Lover (Pure Love) Yuta, earned through raids. Both have unique passives and evolved forms that change how they play.
Every Secret Unit Evolved
This video showcases every evolved Secret unit in Anime Origins, including Alucard and Yuta, and explains where each one drops. It is the fastest way to see their final forms and passives before you invest gems. Watch it alongside the Alucard guide for details.
What Makes a Secret Unit Special
Secret units are defined by layered passives that no other rarity can match. Valcrad (Alucard) combines crit chance, bleed damage and boss control, while Yuta copies ally abilities and fires devastating beams. Their unique kits make them the backbone of every endgame team in the meta.
Evolved Secret units gain new forms and stronger versions of their passives. Alucard evolves into his Unleashed form, and Yuta into his Pure Love form, making them even more dominant. See the Yuta guide and the Alucard guide for full breakdowns of each evolution.
Secret Unit Passives
Each Secret unit carries a full passive kit that rewards careful play. This table summarises every passive and ability for Alucard and Yuta so you can compare their strengths. Remember that passives scale with upgrades, and evolved forms boost the numbers further.
| Unit | Passive / Ability | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Valcrad (Alucard) | Third Eye | +15% Crit Chance; crits permanently add +1% range up to +10%. |
| Valcrad (Alucard) | Bloodthirst | +3% damage per bleeding enemy in range, up to +10%. |
| Valcrad (Alucard) | Coffin Trap | Placed when a Boss enters range; seals and stuns it for 7s on a shared 18s cooldown. |
| Valcrad (Alucard) | Restriction Release | Defeating enemies lowers restriction; at level 4 summons Ghoul minions. |
| Yuta | Lingering Queens Heads | Every 6 attacks spawns cursed heads that fire mini Love Beams. |
| Yuta | Copy | Copies an ally's active ability; stores up to 4 copies. |
| Yuta | Love Beam [Ability] | Wide beam dealing 5 hits of 300% damage each. |
How to Get Secret Units
Getting a Secret unit is a marathon, not a sprint. Alucard drops from the summon banner at roughly 0.01%, so save gems for rate-up events. Yuta comes from raid content, which you can farm with friends. The gems guide helps you save faster.
Once you own one, invest heavily. Feed EXP, raise stars with duplicates, and evolve with materials from Story Mode and Raids. The evolved forms are dramatically stronger, so treat your Secret unit as your main project. Check the units list for evolution requirements.

Secret Unit Highlights
Alucard is a self-sufficient damage dealer. Third Eye raises his crit chance and range, Bloodthirst scales with bleeding enemies, and Coffin Trap shuts down Bosses. His Restriction Release even summons Ghoul minions at higher levels, giving you free damage over time.
Yuta is the most flexible Secret unit. Lingering Queens Heads spawn mini beams every six attacks, Copy lets him steal the best ally ability, and his Love Beam deals massive area damage. He fits into almost any team composition in the support meta.
Both Secret units transform the way you play. Alucard rewards aggressive boss-focused positioning, while Yuta rewards saving abilities for the right moment. If you pull either, build your team around its strengths and check the meta units page for synergies.

Secret Unit Tips
Treat your Secret unit as the centrepiece of your account. Prioritise its upgrades, evolve it early, and never sell it for gold. A single well-built Secret can carry Story Mode, Infinite Mode and Raids alike. Check the beginner guide for how to build around limited units.
- Save gems and only pull during Secret rate-up banners.
- Farm raids with a group to speed up Yuta acquisition.
- Never sell or feed a Secret unit — they are irreplaceable.
Secret Unit Evolution
Evolution is where Secret units truly come alive. Alucard evolves into Valcrad (Unleashed) and Yuta into his Pure Love form, and every passive in their kits gets stronger numbers. Materials come from Story Mode, Infinite Mode and Raids, so plan your farming around your favourite Secret unit from day one.
Do not underestimate the grind. A fully evolved Secret unit is the strongest character in the game, but reaching that point takes fusion cores, duplicates and patience. The battle pass is the fastest source of fusion cores, while raids give you materials and occasionally the units themselves.
Finally, traits decide how far your evolved Secret unit can go. Alucard loves damage and crit traits, while Yuta benefits from cooldown reduction so he can spam his copied abilities. The traits guide explains which rolls are worth keeping and which deserve a reroll.
