The Anniversary Update for Anime Spirits brings one major highlight: the arrival of Alien X from the Ben 10 series. This is currently the strongest soul in the game, and the update is designed around unlocking, farming, and awakening this new soul. This guide breaks down everything you need, where to get it, and the most efficient way to complete the requirements.
Where the Update Starts
All new content for Alien X is located in the First Sea, specifically on the Ben 10 Island. If you haven’t been there before, head to the First Sea map and look for the new area designed around the Ben 10 franchise. All required quests, materials, and enemies for Alien X begin here.
How to Get Alien X
Alien X requires gathering three materials and completing a series of tasks. None of the steps are overly difficult, and most players should be able to finish the entire update quickly.
The requirements are:
- Omni Chips
- Celestial DNA
- Arise a boss 10 times
- Have Alien X as your current soul when awakening
- One Force Core from crates
Here’s how each step works.
Step 1: Farm Omni Chips
To begin progression, talk to the NPC on Ben 10 Island and take the quest for Omni Chips.
How to farm Omni Chips:
- Defeat 50 Alien Cadets
- This is a straightforward grind with no special mechanics
- The enemies are weak enough that most players clear the quota quickly
Once you complete the quest, you will receive Omni Chips, which are one of the required awakening materials.
Step 2: Farm Celestial DNA
The second material is Celestial DNA, and the requirement is simple but more time-consuming.
How to get Celestial DNA:
- Complete 50 dungeons
- Any dungeon counts
- Level does not matter
- Fastest method is to run the easiest dungeons repeatedly
Although the number might look high at first, dungeon completions are extremely quick if you stick to low-tier runs. This part of the update is more of a background grind while listening to music or watching videos.
Step 3: Arise Bosses 10 Times
The third requirement is to arise a boss ten times.
Arise events are consistent and predictable, and you can complete this part while farming other resources. Bosses during Arise events have more health but are manageable even for mid-level players.
Tips:
- Stay near active Arise zones to catch events quickly
- Join active servers to increase spawn frequency
- Use damage buffs to clear Arise bosses faster
This is the most interactive part of the grind but still fairly easy.
Step 4: Get a Force Core
Once the main materials are collected, you need one Force Core.
Force Cores come from crates. They are not extremely rare, but you may need to open several crates before the drop appears. If you already have extra cores saved from previous updates, you can use those too.
Awakening Alien X
Before awakening, make sure you have the Alien X soul equipped. Awakening will not work unless you are currently using the soul.
Awakening Requirements:
- Alien X equipped
- 1 Omni Chip
- 1 Celestial DNA
- 1 Force Core
Once you awaken the soul, you will gain access to the full Alien X moveset and damage scaling.
Alien X Damage Overview
Based on testing shown in the video, Alien X deals extremely high damage. Bosses with large health pools will still take time to defeat, but with buffs, the soul erases most targets very quickly.
General notes about Alien X performance:
- High burst damage
- Fast animations
- Works well in dungeons
- Excellent bossing capability
- Strong scaling with buffs
Alien X currently outclasses older souls, making it one of the strongest choices for both farming and boss clearing.
Based on the update content and the overall difficulty of the requirements, Alien X is absolutely worth unlocking. Every requirement is easy or moderate, and the final power level of the awakened soul is high enough to justify the grind. For new players, the quests act as a steady progression route. For endgame players, the soul is a direct upgrade over many current options.
This anniversary update is simple but effective. The grind is not overwhelming, the material collection is balanced, and the final reward is one of the strongest souls currently available in Anime Spirits. If you are actively playing or coming back for the update, Alien X is the first thing you should unlock.
