Why Gowther Is Worth Summoning First in Anime Expeditions (Roblox)

Gowther is the Mythic banner unit new players should build around first in Anime Expeditions if they want one early pull that stays useful after story. The absolute top of the game can still belong to rarer units like Megumi or Kenichi, but Gowther is the cleaner first target because he is easier to chase, has a clear evolution route, and brings both damage and control.

Gowther should be your first banner chase

The case for Gowther starts with how quickly he becomes useful. Even before evolving, he can carry early waves off raw placement strength, which matters a lot when a new account is still short on traits, evolved units, and reliable supports.

He also fits the first serious Mythic project slot well. You are not just summoning a damage unit; you are working toward Puppet Seller Kinetic, where his kit adds an active rewind on top of his Puppet Mark and doll creation passives.

The only important limit is scope: Gowther is the best practical banner target from this early route, not a settled claim that he beats every secret or rarer unit in the game. If your realistic choice is between banner Mythics, Gowther is the one to chase first.

Gowther’s kit gives damage, summons, and control

Gowther is strong because his kit stacks several useful jobs onto one unit. He starts with high enough placement damage to stabilize waves, then his later upgrades turn him into a damage amplifier and lane-control unit instead of a simple DPS tower.

The two-placement limit is worth respecting. You cannot spam him across the whole map, so the best use is to invest heavily into one Gowther first, then let Puppet Mark and Puppet Creation multiply the value of that upgraded placement.

Gowther evolution materials

Gowther evolves into Puppet Seller Kinetic through the upgrades area once you have his trial item and colored sprites. The material route shown uses Puppet Heart, 20 pink sprites, and 20 purple sprites.

How to evolve Gowther into Puppet Seller Kinetic in Anime Expeditions

This route takes Gowther from banner pull to evolved unit by farming sprites, clearing his trial, and using the upgrades area.

Get Gowther first

Start the route after you have Gowther in your units from banner summons.

Check the evolution materials

Open Gowther’s evolution screen and note the required Puppet Heart, pink sprites, and purple sprites.

Farm challenges for sprites

Run regular and daily challenges for sprite progress; the weekly challenge is much harder for an early account.

Craft missing colored sprites

Use crafting to turn 5 gray sprites into 1 colored sprite until you reach 20 pink sprites and 20 purple sprites.

Enter Gowther’s unit trial

Start the unit trial once your sprite farming is handled, because this is where Puppet Heart comes from.

Claim Puppet Heart

Clear wave 15 of the unit trial and defeat the boss to receive Puppet Heart.

Open upgrades in the lobby

Return to the lobby and go to the upgrades area with Gowther selected.

Evolve Gowther

Use the collected materials to evolve him into Puppet Seller Kinetic.

Gowther unit trial strategy

Gowther’s unit trial uses a set team, so the clear is more about money timing and upgrade order than your normal loadout. The clean opening is to skip early waves until you can place Gowther, then add Diane and farms to keep the run stable.

Diane helps cover the early section because her activation turns her into giant form for 25 seconds and boosts her damage during that window. Once farms are moving, put the money into maxing Gowther first instead of spreading upgrades across too many units.

Wave 15 brings a boss with 126k HP. Add slows before the boss reaches the end of Gowther’s value range, then let Gowther carry the damage check and finish the trial for Puppet Heart.

Primordial trait and stat priorities

The showcased Gowther used Primordial, a Mythic trait with 35% increased damage, 15% decreased SP, and 20% increased range. That trait is already strong for him because more range and damage make his marks, dolls, and rewind easier to use.

Unbound may be the higher-ceiling trait, but it was not tested side by side. For stat rerolls, the useful target shown was settling on an A result, so early players should improve bad rolls without emptying every reroll into perfection.

Puppet Seller Kinetic in King’s Tomb mastery

In King’s Tomb mastery, the final legend stage, evolved Gowther was placed around wave 5 after farming first. With Primordial active, he started at 900 damage every 4 seconds, then jumped to 2,000 damage every 3.2 seconds after a couple of upgrades.

As the stage continued, one Gowther climbed to about 8,000 damage every 4.8 seconds before the final upgrade. At max, he reached around 14,000 damage every 7 seconds, then used rewind repeatedly because the cooldown is short enough to cycle through a long stage.

That performance is the real reason to evolve him early. Gowther can handle much of a hard lane by himself, then rewind enemies when damage alone is not enough to keep the path clean.

Beginner recommendation for Gowther

For beginners, Gowther is the best practical banner target from this evidence. He is easier to pursue than secret units, evolves through a clear trial route, and brings a rare mix of damage amplification, summons, and crowd control.
