How to Get Awakened Shadow Monarch in Anime Fighting Simulator

Unlocking the Awakened Shadow Monarch

The Awakened Shadow Monarch is one of the most sought-after power upgrades in Anime Fighting Simulator. Unlike standard power rolls, this transformation requires deliberate grinding within the game's latest dungeon-themed content. Players looking to obtain this form must shift their focus toward completing specific raids and gathering rare crafting materials.

To initiate the process, you must first possess the base Shadow Monarch power. Once you have it equipped, your goal is to farm the required resources by participating in island raids. According to community experience, the difficulty of the raid—Easy, Medium, or Hard—impacts the efficiency of your loot collection. Hard mode raids are significantly more rewarding but require a well-leveled character capable of surviving intense boss encounters.

Necessary Crafting Materials

To awaken your power, you need to visit a specific NPC located in the Soul Leveling area. This NPC will only craft the upgrade if you have the following materials in your inventory:

• 2 Monster Cores: These are typically dropped by the final bosses encountered during the dungeon raids.
• 10 Wings: These are a common drop from successful raid completions.
• 5 Chitin: Another material gathered primarily through consistent dungeon farming.

Tip

To speed up your progress, consider using drop potions before entering a raid. While they don't guarantee specific drops, they increase your efficiency, helping you gather the required 10 Wings and 5 Chitin much faster.

The Crafting Process and Mastery

Once you have gathered all the necessary materials, return to the NPC in the Soul Leveling area to perform the awakening. This is a permanent upgrade that replaces your current Shadow Monarch abilities with a more powerful, evolved set.

Players report that the Awakened Shadow Monarch feels significantly faster in combat. The ability set mirrors the moves used by the boss during the raid, providing a more fluid experience. If you ever wish to switch back or experiment with other powers, you can simply unequip the current ability, as the base power remains in your inventory.

Combat Tips for Dungeon Raids

Successfully farming the materials requires surviving the dungeon boss. Community reports suggest that jumping consistently during the boss's attack animations can help you dodge incoming damage. Furthermore, timing your own abilities is crucial; since some boss attacks lock you in place, learning the telegraphs for these moves is essential to avoid taking unnecessary damage.

• Check your stats: Ensure your strength and durability are high enough to handle the raid difficulty.
• Equip the right gear: Use swords or abilities that provide high burst damage for the final phase of the raid.
• Use your buffs: Activate any server boosts or stat potions before entering the gate to maximize your gains.

FAQ

Does the Awakened Shadow Monarch replace my old power permanently?

While the transformation is permanent as an upgrade, it does not delete your original power. You can unequip the Awakened version and swap back to your previous abilities whenever you like.

Which raid difficulty is best for farming?

Hard mode provides the best drop rates for Monster Cores and Chitin. If you are struggling to survive, stick to Medium mode until your stats increase, then move up to Hard to finish your collection quickly.

Can I move during the new ability animations?

Some of the Awakened Shadow Monarch's abilities include cutscene-like animations. During these sequences, you are generally invulnerable to damage, which makes them highly effective for both dealing damage and staying safe during boss fights.
