Anime Defenders Spirit Summons Guide And What They Do
Here is a list of all the Spirits you can summon in Anime Defenders using Spirit Orbs. When combined with the best traits in the game, these Spirits can enhance even the top meta units in Anime Defenders to become unstoppable. It’s important to match specific Spirits with specific units—putting a Crimson Spirit on a non-Bleed/Fire unit would be beyond ineffective. Similarly, using a Golden Spirit on a non-Farming unit would not be beneficial. If you’re after the best-ranked Spirits in Anime Defenders, check out this guide: Anime Defenders Spirits Tier List.
Remember, you can only summon these Spirits if you have a type of currency called Spirit Orbs; we have a guide on all the ways to get them here: Anime Defenders Spirit Orbs Complete Guide
