Anime Adventures Switchblade Guide
Let’s take a look at how to get Switchblade in Anime Adventures, before taking a closer look at who the character is based on.
How to Get Switchblade
Switchblade is a rare drop from the Deception Portal. If you join another player’s, you have a very small chance to catch to collect the unit.
However, there is a way that you can guarantee getting him: host the Deception Portal yourself.
To do that, you need to first collect four ‘Dice’. This is a currency in Anime Adventures that you need to create Secret Portals.
How to Get Dice in Anime Adventures
You have to complete Contracts to earn dice, so start by heading on over to the Legendary Assassin and grab yourself a Contract. This challenges you to beat a specific in-game boss.
Do so, and you get to choose a reward, which includes the dice. Select the dice. Now, repeat this three more times until you can craft a Secret Portal.
Now, craft a Deception Portal and pull together some allies to help you beat it. Do so, and you have a guaranteed chance to unlock Switchblade.
You can still unlock Switchblade by participating in another user’s Deception Portal, but it’s a much lower chance.
How to Evolve Switchblade
To evolve Switchblade, you first need to perform 5,000 Takedowns. Then, visit the ‘Evolve’ building in the lobby with the required items and you can evolve Switchblade into the more powerful variant.
Who is Yoichi Nagumo?
Yoichi Nagumo is a character in Sakamoto Days. He is a friend to Taro Sakamoto and a former member of the Order. He fights with a switchblade, hence his nickname in Anime Adventures, and is very powerful.
