To get Secret Prodigy (Rage), start the Story Reward NPC route in East Town, clear the easy quest tasks, then farm Expeditions for 350 Mechanical Scrap and one boss-node clear while using auto-upgrade to make runs semi-AFK.
Secret Prodigy (Rage) is a Story Reward NPC unlock tied to East Town in Anime Expeditions, so the fastest path is about clearing the checklist cleanly instead of gambling on regular banners. Most of the tasks are quick; the real time sink is Mechanical Scrap, and that is where the semi-AFK Expedition setup saves the most effort.
Secret Prodigy (Rage) unlock route
| Goal | What |
|---|---|
| Start the route | Go to East Town and begin the Story Reward NPC questline. |
| Clear the checklist | Finish the tournament, evolution, wave, scrap, and boss-node tasks. |
| Farm the currency | Collect 350 Mechanical Scrap from Expeditions. |
| Finish the run condition | Beat one boss node inside the Expedition route. |
KEY!
Prodigy (Rage) is a Secret Story Reward NPC connected to the East Town and Featured Gamemode route. Treat the unit as a quest unlock, not as something you should chase through normal summons.
East Town quest location
Go to East Town, then look to the left of the map start. That is where the Prodigy Story Reward NPC questline area is found, and it is the route you want before grinding the Featured Gamemode.
The update adds two new Quest NPCs for this route. Their exact names and quest titles are not consistent yet, so use the East Town placement and the quest markers instead of relying on a name callout.
Secret Prodigy (Rage) quest requirements
| Requirement | Fastest way |
|---|---|
| Participate in the tournament | Enter the tournament; even dying in round one counts as participation. |
| Evolve a unit | Use any available unit evolution that you can complete quickly. |
| Play 150 waves with the Goku and Cell unit | Bring the required unit and let the waves add up while clearing normal content. |
| Collect 350 Mechanical Scrap | Farm Expeditions repeatedly and pick routes with better scrap opportunities. |
| Beat a boss node once | Save one strong Expedition run for the boss node and clear it before turning in the route. |
The first three tasks are the quick part of the unlock. Once they are out of the way, focus your time on the Expedition currency and make sure you do not leave before getting the required boss-node clear.
How to farm Mechanical Scrap fast for Prodigy in Anime Expeditions
This method turns Expedition farming into a semi-AFK grind while still letting you handle the encounter system when it appears.
STEP 1/7
Bring a solid team
Use strong general units and farms; traits are not the main bottleneck for this farm.
STEP 2/7
Open settings
Go into your settings before the run gets busy.
STEP 3/7
Turn on Auto Upgrade Placed Units
Enable Auto Upgrade Placed Units so your placed units keep scaling while you check the run less often.
STEP 4/7
Start the semi-AFK setup
Place your units near the end of the path so they can handle enemies while auto-upgrade spends your resources.
STEP 5/7
Check encounters every few minutes
Look back at the run regularly because the new encounter system can require manual input.
STEP 6/7
Clear the encounter prompt
Get off the ship, talk to the required NPC, or handle whatever interaction is blocking the route.
STEP 7/7
Clear one boss node
Make at least one good run strong enough to beat the Expedition boss node required for the Prodigy quest.
Turn on Auto Upgrade Placed Units before farming so your Expedition runs keep progressing while you only check back for encounter interactions.

Mechanical Scrap farming time
Expect the 350 Mechanical Scrap grind to take around two to three hours if your runs average about 30 scrap. That number moves around with route choices and luck, so a dry path can be much lower while a better path can speed things up.
Prodigy unlock mistakes to avoid
| Mistake | Better move |
|---|---|
| Spending Gems on regular banners for Prodigy | Follow the East Town Story Reward NPC route instead. |
| Skipping the East Town Quest NPCs | Start left of the East Town map spawn and pick up the questline first. |
| Finishing scrap but missing the boss node | Clear one boss node during your Expedition farming. |
| Trying to fully macro the old way | Use semi-AFK auto-upgrade and manually handle encounters. |
The Prodigy route is easy to slow down if you treat it like an older Secret chase. Keep the grind centered on East Town, the Story Reward NPC route, and Expedition progress.
Secret Prodigy (Rage) value
Prodigy (Rage) is worth getting if you are already farming the update content, especially because the unit is considered solid and has a kit built around transformation and status-effect scaling. Exact kit numbers from earlier notes may shift with balance changes, so judge the unit by how it performs after you unlock and upgrade it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fully macro the Prodigy farm after the update?
No. The encounter system interrupts the old macro approach because runs can require manual NPC or encounter interactions, so use semi-AFK farming instead.
Do traits matter for the Expedition farming team?
Not much for the scrap grind. Bring reliable damage and useful farming units first; traits are a bonus, not the core requirement.
Do you need to beat the boss node more than once?
No. The Prodigy quest requires a boss-node clear once, so one successful boss run is enough for that task.
