Recorded unit data
Raw deployment values come directly from the wiki UnitData module before level, stat rank, traits, Memoria, familiar and match buffs. A zero deployment cost on a transformation does not include the cost of its prerequisite units. These values should not be compared with screenshots of levelled units.

Evolution and form requirements
Song Jinwu (Monarch): 12 Shadow Traces, 30 Green, 10 Yellow, 12 Pink and 1 Rainbow Essence; 15,000 Gold.
Equipment and team decisions
The second evolution uses Elixir of Life. Its standard quest requires 50 Ant King kills, sacrificing 30 Mythic-or-higher units, 5,000 summons by Song Jinwu (Monarch), then sacrificing an evolved Igros. The wiki warns that an active event can alter these requirements; inspect the anniversary quest before committing sacrifices.
Trading and value
Only trade an item the in-game trade window permits. Limited units that remain obtainable cannot yet be traded. Levels and stats transfer; Update 15.0 removed Unit Ascension bonuses, so previously ascended units no longer receive those bonuses; traits and pity do not. Community value estimates describe the exact normal/shiny/form variant and are opinions rather than developer prices.
Source review: 14 October 2026. The acquisition and equipment information below is an adaptation of the linked wiki contributors' pages; it is not an in-game drop or speedrun test.
