To get Cursed Doctor in Anime Vanguards, enter the Summer Event LTM, unlock Zone 3, buy Cursed Clinic Trial Portals from the Cursed Doctor NPC, then keep running them until a Cursed Secret Trial Portal appears and clear it.
Cursed Doctor is tied to the Summer Event LTM, so do not waste summons looking for it on normal banners. The grind is mostly about reaching Zone 3, buying the right portal, and then beating the rare Cursed Secret Trial Portal when it appears.

Cursed Secret Trial Portal chance
The important RNG point is that a normal Cursed Clinic Trial Portal run is not the same thing as the secret run. Every time you enter one, it has about a 1 in 30 chance to turn into a Cursed Secret Trial Portal.
That means buying one portal does not guarantee Cursed Doctor. You may need to run several portals before the secret version appears, and then you still need to clear that secret trial successfully.
Cursed Doctor Healer evolution materials
| Evolution material | Amount |
|---|---|
| Sunshine | 1 |
| Stethoscope | 1 |
| Green Essence | 30 |
| Pink Essence | 30 |
| Purple Essence | 20 |
| Rainbow Essence | 1 |
Once evolved, Cursed Doctor Healer keeps the Mythic rarity and Curse element, with 10 SPA and 20 range listed for the unit.
Cursed Doctor Healer support kit
Cursed Doctor Healer is wanted because its value is not only raw damage. Its Cursed Doctor passive cleanses status effects from allies with a 10-second local cooldown, cleanses status debuffs, and buffs allies in range by 1,000 base damage per upgrade on the unit, up to 5,000.
The Reliable Healer passive adds more team utility by buffing unit range by 20%. If a unit in range applies a debuff to an enemy, that debuff lasts 1 second longer, which can matter a lot in longer fights where slowing, weakening, or other debuff uptime decides whether your defense holds.
It also reduces active ability cooldowns by 10% for units in range. That makes Cursed Doctor Healer more of a hard-content support pick than a simple damage unit, especially for teams that care about cleanse, range support, cooldown cycling, and debuff duration.
Cursed Doctor mistakes to avoid
The biggest mistake is trying to get Cursed Doctor from banners or standard summons. The available path is through the Summer Event LTM, Zone 3, and the Cursed Secret Trial Portal.
Do not go looking for the Cursed Doctor NPC before unlocking Zone 3, and do not assume one Cursed Clinic Trial Portal is enough. Also watch the naming: Cursed Doctor is the base unit, while Cursed Doctor Healer is the evolved form.
Tradability and post-event availability are not confirmed. Until the game clearly settles those details, treat Cursed Doctor as an event-tied unit and avoid planning around trades or future reruns as guaranteed.
