Anime Expeditions, a highly popular tower defense game on Roblox, recently launched its first major update: Warrior Saga. This update introduces a new Tower mode, the East Town map, an Auto Play feature, and more, alongside six new units. Among these new units, the standout is undoubtedly Prodigy (Rage).
What Is Prodigy?
Prodigy (Rage) is a Secret rarity unit added in the Warrior Saga update, inspired by the famous anime Dragon Ball. Unlike units obtained through the gacha system (banners), Prodigy is a story-reward unit; players must complete the full questline for a specific NPC on the East Town map to acquire it.
Players can find the challenge associated with Prodigy (Rage)—named the West City Quest—within the game's quest menu. Completing all requirements grants you Prodigy (Rage), making it a top priority for many players following the update.

Detailed Guide: How to Get Prodigy
1. Prerequisites
Before you start the process of obtaining Prodigy, ensure that:
- Your game account has unlocked the East Town map (unlocked by progressing through the main storyline).
- You have a sufficiently strong team, as some tasks have high difficulty requirements.
2. Locate the NPC in East Town
East Town is a new map added in the Warrior Saga update, supporting Story, Infinite, and Mastery modes. On this map, you need to locate the Prodigy NPC; he is found at the basketball court to the right of the portal. Interacting with him opens the quest menu, where you can pin the quest for easy reference later.
Important Note: The NPC does not appear in Sandbox Game Mode; you must explore the map within an active level to find him.
3. Complete the Bioinsect Prerequisite Quest
The first step to obtaining Prodigy is actually completing the Bioinsect questline. The Bioinsect quest is titled Perfection's Trial and requires players to complete the Bioinsect Unit Trial. Upon completing Perfection's Trial, you will receive:
- Mechanical Wings – Equipment and evolution material used to evolve Bioinsect into Bioinsect (Final Form)
- 15x Equipment Reroll
4. Complete Prodigy's Scholar's Trial
The Prodigy NPC will ask you to complete a quest series called The Scholar's Trial, which includes the following objectives:
- Clear East Town once
- Participate in a Tournament
- Clear a Boss node in East Town on Difficulty 3
- Collect 350 Mechanical Scrap
- Clear 150 waves of enemies with Bioinsect (Final Form)
- Complete Prodigy's Trial
- Evolve a unit
- Clear 150 waves of enemies with Carrot (Unleashed)
Once all the above objectives are met, the quest page will show green bars for every task, and Prodigy (Rage) will officially be added to your collection.
5. Acquisition Process Summary
Enter East Town → Complete "Perfection's Trial" → Find the Prodigy NPC → Complete all 8 objectives of the "Scholar's Trial" → Obtain Prodigy (Rage)

Prodigy's Abilities and Forms
1. Base Form: Prodigy
Prodigy's base form is the version obtained immediately after completing the quest. As a Secret rarity unit, its base stats rank in the upper-middle tier among units of the same rarity.
2. Evolved Form: Prodigy (Rage)
Prodigy can evolve into the Prodigy (Rage) form. In Anime Expeditions, evolution is the primary way for a character to achieve a massive power boost; evolved units unlock stronger skills and higher base stats, and they can equip exclusive gear unavailable to standard characters.
3. Skins
Currently, two skins have been released for Prodigy:
· Ballin' Prodigy – Sports/ball-themed skin
· Prodigy (Manga) – Manga-style skin
These skins are purely cosmetic and do not affect the unit's actual combat capabilities.

Practical Tips and Suggestions
1. Prioritize East Town Content
Since Prodigy is a story reward from East Town, it is recommended to head to East Town and start the questline as soon as the update drops. The sooner you complete it, the sooner you can add this Secret unit to your main lineup.
2. Strategically Sequence Your Tasks
Among the eight tasks in the Scholar's Trial, some can be completed concurrently:
- Collecting 350 Mechanical Scrap can happen naturally while working on other tasks.
- Clearing 150 waves with Bioinsect (Final Form) and 150 waves with Carrot (Unleashed) requires you to first own and evolve these units—meaning you may need to obtain the base Bioinsect and Carrot units via the gacha system first.
- Evolving a unit can be done simultaneously with the tasks mentioned above.
3. Prepare Evolution Materials in Advance
To complete the Scholar's Trial, you need to possess Bioinsect (Final Form) and Carrot (Unleashed). It is recommended to prepare the following beforehand: the base Bioinsect unit (summoned via the Banner), the base Carrot unit (obtained via summoning), and the corresponding evolution materials. Players can visit the Anime Expeditions shop to purchase the necessary items and accelerate the process.
4. Utilize the Auto Play Feature
The Warrior Saga update introduced an Auto Play function that automatically places units and supports custom slot settings and preset saving. Making good use of Auto Play can save a significant amount of time and effort when tackling repetitive tasks, such as clearing 150 waves.
5. Equipment and Trait Recommendations
While there is no definitive guide yet for Prodigy's optimal equipment setup, general best practices apply:
- Prioritize evolving your main DPS characters—unlocking skills is more important than equipment.
- Equip standard gear from the current story map to fill all equipment slots.
- For your main damage dealer (Main Carry), the Unbound (+350% Damage) or Draconic traits are top-tier choices.
It is recommended to equip Prodigy with high-quality traits and suitable gear as soon as possible to maximize damage output potential.
