How to Evolve Friezo in Anime Vanguards (Full Guide)


Step 1: Obtain the Space Pod

The Space Pod is the most important item needed for the Friezo evolution.

It can only be earned through the Dragon Ball Challenge Dungeon — also known as the Frieza/Broly Event.

How to Get the Space Pod

  1. Open Anime Vanguards and go to the Dungeons or Challenges section.

  2. Select the Dragon Ball Challenge from the available options.

  3. During the challenge, you’ll encounter Frieza-like enemy units approximately every 3 waves.

  4. Defeat these specific enemies seven times during the run.

  5. Each Frieza enemy drops a Dragon Ball. Once you collect all seven Dragon Balls, the match ends and you’ll receive the Space Pod as your reward.

Tip: Team up with strong allies or high-DPS units to complete the waves faster and ensure you get the required Dragon Balls in a single run.


Step 2: Reach the Takedown Requirement

Once you’ve got the Space Pod, the next step is ensuring your Lord Friezo unit has enough Takedowns.

You’ll need at least 5000 Takedowns to unlock the evolution option.

How to Farm Takedowns Fast

  • Play infinite mode or story stages where enemies spawn frequently.

  • Place Lord Friezo early in the match to ensure he scores most kills.

  • Pair him with units that slow down or stun enemies, letting him finish them off.

  • Avoid overpowered teammates if you’re farming solo — you want Friezo to secure as many takedowns as possible.

You can track takedowns directly on the unit info screen under Friezo’s stats.


Step 3: Gather the Required Gold and Essences

Evolution isn’t free in Anime Vanguards. You’ll need 15,000 Gold to complete the evolution process.

In addition, collect the following Essence Stones:

  • Green Essence
  • Yellow Essence
  • Purple Essence
  • Red Essence
  • Rainbow Essence

These items are commonly dropped in dungeons, daily quests, or the Essence Shop, so make sure to farm them ahead of time.


Step 4: Evolve Friezo to Emperor Form

Once all requirements are met:

  1. Open the Evolution Menu from the main game screen.

  2. Select Lord Friezo from your units list.

  3. The game will automatically check if you have the Space Pod, required takedowns, and enough Gold.

  4. If everything is in order, confirm the evolution.

After a short animation, your Friezo will transform into Lord Friezo (Emperor) — stronger, faster, and ready to dominate tougher stages.

What Changes After Evolution

Attribute Before (Lord Friezo) After (Lord Friezo Emperor)
Damage Moderate High burst AoE damage
Range Medium Extended attack radius
Attack Speed Average Faster cooldowns
Abilities Basic energy beam Emperor Blast & AoE energy wave
Trait Potential Limited Unlocks exclusive traits

Lord Friezo (Emperor) becomes one of the best hybrid units in the game, capable of clearing multiple waves alone when properly leveled and equipped.


Tips Before You Evolve

  • Don’t evolve too early. Make sure your Friezo has enough upgrades before evolving to make the most of his Emperor stats.

  • Join friends for dungeons. The Dragon Ball Challenge can be tough solo, especially during boss waves.

  • Save your Gold. Between unit upgrades and evolution, 15,000 Gold goes fast — plan your farming runs in advance.

  • Use Boosts or XP Items. After evolution, re-level your unit quickly to maximize his damage potential.

Final Thoughts

Evolving Lord Friezo in Anime Vanguards takes time and patience, but it’s absolutely worth it.

His Emperor form isn’t just a visual upgrade – it turns him into one of the strongest units in the game, capable of handling late-game challenges with ease.

If you’re farming for the Dragon Ball Challenge or optimizing your team for takedowns, keep Friezo active – every kill gets you closer to his final evolution.
