Falcon is a Mythic unit in Anime Squadron that you can only summon with Gems from the Basic Banner or the level-10 Selection Banner — he isn’t a story, quest, or trade drop.
Falcon is a Griffith-inspired Mythic unit in Anime Squadron that lives entirely behind the game’s summoning system, meaning you will be spending Gems and relying on pity to bring him home. Because his drop rate is brutally low, pulling him efficiently comes down to picking the right banner and saving enough currency to guarantee a Mythic. Once you do get him, the real goal becomes Awakening him into Falcon (Dark), a powerful economy-scaling support unit.
Falcon can only be obtained through the summoning system using Gems. He has a chance to appear in the Basic Banner, which is available to every player from the start. If he is featured there, you can spend your Gems for a low-probability pull. However, this is a broad pool, and you are competing against every other Mythic in the rotation.
STEP 1/5
Farm Gems
Accumulate a large reserve of Gems before attempting pulls to sustain your summoning.
STEP 2/5
Watch the Basic Banner
Check if Falcon is currently featured on the Basic Banner and spend Gems there if you want to try your luck early.
STEP 3/5
Unlock the Selection Banner
Reach level 10 to unlock the Selection Banner for better targeting tools.
STEP 4/5
Set Falcon as priority
Choose Falcon as your priority unit on the Selection Banner so pity and increased odds favor him.
STEP 5/5
Save toward pity
Keep at least 12,500 Gems in reserve so you can push toward the 250-summon pity guarantee if early pulls fail.

Summon odds and pity math for Falcon
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Mythic |
| Drop rate | Contested (~0.01% to ~0.03%) |
| Pity | 250 summons |
| Gems for pity | 12,500 |
| Inferred cost per summon | ~50 Gems |
| Selection Banner unlock | Level 10 |
Falcon is a Mythic unit, which means his per-summon rate is extremely low. Sources currently disagree on his exact drop rate, with figures floating around 0.01% and 0.03% per summon — both agree he is one of the hardest characters to pull. Because of this, you should not expect to pull him instantly unless you get exceptionally lucky.
Awakening Falcon into Falcon (Dark)
| Material | Quantity | Where to farm |
|---|---|---|
| Behelit | 200 | Eclipse (Before) Chapter 1 (Squadron) |
| Apostle Iron | 100 | Eclipse (Before) Story Chapters 1–2 |
| Eclipse Stone | 75 | Eclipse (Before) Story Chapters 3–4 |
| White Behelit | 50 | Eclipse (Before) Raid (unlocks at Level 15) |
| Brand Ash | 50 | Eclipse (Before) Story Chapters 5–6 |
| Moonlit Silver | 30 | Eclipse (Before) Story Chapters 7–8 |
| Black Sun Amber | 15 | Eclipse (Before) Story Chapters 9–10 |
| Cavalry Saber | 1 | Eclipse (Before) Chapter 3 Squadron (guaranteed after 50 clears) |
| Gold | 5,000 | Cleared from any Chapters/Acts |
Once you pull Falcon, you can Awaken him into Falcon (Dark) by gathering the materials above and paying 5,000 Gold. All of these items are farmed from the Eclipse (Before) content tree, spanning Story chapters, Squadron mode, and Raids. Be aware of two major grind walls: the White Behelit only drops from the Raid, which does not unlock until level 15, and the Cavalry Saber requires 50 clears of Eclipse (Before) Chapter 3 Squadron to guarantee. The material list, quantities, and farm locations come from early guide sources and are not officially confirmed.
Why Falcon (Dark) is worth chasing
Falcon (Dark) functions as a support and economy scaler, making him uniquely powerful when built properly. His Claim to Ambition ability makes him deal 1% more damage for every 1,000 Yen you have during a battle, meaning saving your money during a run makes him passively hit harder. This pairs directly with his Mercenary Paymaster passive, which increases all Yen gained from defeated enemies by 30% while he is on the field, while kills made by Falcon himself grant 50% more Yen.
He also brings strong survivability tools. Untouchable Grace gives Falcon and nearby units a 20% chance to dodge enemy stuns or debuffs; if Falcon is not near allies, he gets a 30% dodge chance and critical hit immunity. Eclipse lets him instantly execute normal enemies below 10% HP, and whenever an ally is defeated, Falcon sacrifices them to increase the execution threshold by 1%, up to a maximum of 10%. A placement cost of roughly 2,000 Yen is reported for Falcon (Dark), though this is single-sourced and unverified.
Common mistakes when chasing Falcon
Do not spend a single Gem on summons until you hit level 10 and unlock the Selection Banner, where you can set Falcon as your priority target.
