All Passives in Anime Shadow
No pet comes with a passive ability in Anime Shadow, but you can give pets a passive to make it stronger, so your favorite pets can stay stronger for longer instead of getting immediately replaced by another. Some Passives are amazing, while others aren’t so great. I had 175 Passive Capsules, and it took me 22 goes to get Lethal III, which is a 1.7% chance.
Figuring out which Passives are the best will help you build a super-strong team in Anime Shadow, so look at the table below!

How to Get Passives in Anime Shadow
You need something called Passive Capsules to get new Passives for your Pets. You can earn these capsules by beating special challenges called Trials, using Anime Shadow codes that the game creators give out, or purchasing them with Robux.

But there’s a catch: you have to reach World 2 – Piece Town before you can actually put a Passive on your Pet. Once you’re in Piece Town, find a machine called “Passives” next to the EximiusX NPC. That’s where you use your Capsules to try and get a good Passive for your Pet!
How to Beat Trials in Anime Shadow
Trials are tough dungeons found in Leaf Village behind the Star rolls. Each Trial has many rooms full of enemies you must defeat to move on. Everyone can join these Trials, so you’ll usually team up with other players.

Remember: Trials only open every 30 minutes! If you want to get lots of Capsules, you have to be careful about when you try to enter. Once a Trial opens, you only have one minute to get inside before it closes for another half hour.
What You Get From Beating Trials
Beating Trials gives you more than just Passive Capsules:
- Achievements: Completing certain rooms or reaching goals in a Trial can unlock Achievements. These usually give permanent stat boosts to your character, making them tougher in battles.
- More Coins: Defeating enemies in Trials earns you Coins, which you can use to buy stuff in the game. Beating rooms quickly often means getting more Coins!
How to Use Passive Capsules in Anime Shadow
After completing Trials and earning Capsules, they’ll appear in your Inventory under “Items.” Remember, you can’t use them right away. You have to reach World 2 – Piece Town first.
Once you get there, find the “Passives” machine behind the Piece Town Star. Choose the Pet you want to give a Passive to, then start rolling Capsules until you get the one you want or run out!
