Anime Origins madara: Step-by-Step Unlock & Build Guide

Anime Origins madara is one of the strongest Secret-rarity units associated with the Hidden Sand progression route. The unit is based on Madara Uchiha and is obtained by completing the Ghost questline, crafting the Ghost Gunbai, clearing the first trial, and then defeating the harder second trial.

The in-game naming can appear inconsistent in transcriptions, with names such as Modora or Madaro used for the Madara-inspired unit and its evolved form. This guide uses Madara for clarity while preserving the quest and item names supplied by the game’s progression route.

Video Highlights:

• The Ghost questline begins after obtaining the required tablet from an artifact reward.
• Gunbai components come from multiple Hidden Sand artifact stages.
• The first trial uses a restricted loadout and lasts 15 waves.
• Trial II is substantially more demanding and benefits from a coordinated squad.
• The final reward provides the Madara-inspired unit and additional progression items.

A practical farming route is to begin with the tablet requirement, then collect all three Gunbai components. Do not spend time attempting Trial I before the Ghost Gunbai is crafted, because the item is what activates the trial route.

The Ghost questline combines simple objectives with one lengthy crafting requirement and two difficult combat stages. Complete the routine missions while farming artifacts so your progression remains efficient.

The first trial is more controlled because it uses units supplied for the challenge. A conservative setup usually performs better than an aggressive opening: place defensive units slightly behind the front of the path, then upgrade steadily as enemy pressure increases.

The second trial includes a final boss described with 56,610 Shield and 161,750 HP. The boss can stop to stun units before continuing along the path, so crowd-control resistance, reliable damage, and careful placement are more valuable than a fragile burst-only setup.

Trial II should be treated as a team challenge rather than a solo farming stage. Enemy scaling can increase with additional players, but a well-organized group still provides stronger coverage, more damage types, and better recovery after a failed attempt.

A successful attempt generally depends on preparation rather than one secret placement. Before launching Trial II, confirm that every player understands who is covering the early waves, who is saving for upgrades, and who is responsible for the final boss.

Useful squad habits include:

• Keep the strongest damage dealer within a safe range of the main path.
• Avoid placing every unit in one vulnerable area where a stun or control effect can disrupt the entire defense.
• Upgrade existing carries before spreading resources across too many low-level units.
• Communicate before starting the final wave instead of spending all currency immediately.
• If the team reaches a late wave but fails, adjust the opening economy or placement rather than repeating the same setup.

The reward for completing Trial II includes the Madara-inspired unit, the Ghost of War title, Trait Rerolls, Gems, Gold, and additional items. Because the trial is costly in time and preparation, use the first successful clear to confirm the reward before committing to repeated runs.

After obtaining the base unit, the next goal is evolution. The evolved version is presented as an Edo Tensei form and is designed primarily for boss damage. It also gains defensive effects, an expanding Susano system, and an active ability that changes its combat mode.

Remnants can be collected from Challenges or purchased from the Merchant with Coins. The Rinnegan is tied to Sand 4 Artifacts, so continue artifact farming after the initial questline if evolution is your target.

The recommended trait is Immortal. Its listed benefits are +200% Damage, -15% Cooldown, +20% Range, and +20% Income, making it valuable for both damage output and general deployment efficiency. Trait availability can be limited by team rules, so plan around the fact that only one Immortal trait may be used per team according to the available gameplay reference.

Susano Time increases when the unit defeats enemies: normal enemies add three seconds, mini-bosses add ten seconds, and bosses add fifteen seconds. Its listed maximum is 180 seconds. This makes the unit increasingly valuable in long stages where it can maintain pressure through repeated waves.

The Heaven Splitter ability manifests Perfect Susano and delivers a high-damage slash. Available references list different damage multipliers for this ability, so check the current in-game tooltip before publishing a precise number or comparing it with another unit. The consistent feature is its extended reach, which can reach up to three times the unit’s normal range.

For more background on the unit’s acquisition route and passive descriptions, see the Anime Origins Modora (Madara Uchiha) guide, published and modified on August 18, 2026.

Madara’s value comes from combining boss damage with utility. The unit is not only a high-number attacker: Calamity adds delayed damage, Susano effects improve survivability, and Heaven Splitter can dramatically extend lane coverage.

Recommended Deployment Priorities

• Place the unit where its range can cover a meaningful section of the path.
• Upgrade consistently instead of delaying all investment for the final form.
• Use Heaven Splitter during boss pressure or when several high-health enemies overlap.
• Track Susano Time during long stages so you understand when the enhanced state may expire.
• Protect the unit from unnecessary displacement or control effects even though Susano Ribcage provides defensive chances.
