Portals: Rewards & Secret Units
Learn how Anime Adventures Portals work, what they drop, how Secret Portals appear, and smart ways to farm and use every portal type.
What Are Anime Adventures Portals?
Anime Adventures Portals are more than shiny inventory icons: they are the game’s shortcut to evolution materials, new units, and even exclusive Secret Portal runs. If you have been stacking portal items without opening them, you are leaving rewards on the table. This guide breaks down how Anime Adventures Portals work, where they come from, and how to avoid wasting time on retired Secret Portal content.
You will find them in the Portals tab of your inventory, not mixed in with ordinary consumables. Opening one can produce evolution items, units, another portal of the same type, or access to an exclusive Secret Portal. That reward pool makes every portal worth checking before you spend time elsewhere.
| Reward type | What it gives you | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Evolution items | Materials used for unit evolution | Helps finish evolution goals without separate farming |
| Units | New roster additions | Expands team options |
| More portals | Additional portals of the same type | Keeps portal chains going |
| Secret Portal access | A chance at an exclusive Secret Portal | Opens limited-time special unit runs |
The key takeaway: do not treat portal items as clutter. Check the tab regularly, especially after limited-store refreshes or infinite-mode sessions.
How to Get Anime Adventures Portals
There are two clear sources for portal items: limited stores and infinite modes. Limited stores matter because the stock is not permanent, so a portal you skip may not be waiting later. Infinite modes reward portal items through play, which makes them a reliable backup when store stock is thin. Opening portals can also return more portals of their type, creating a small loop of extra opens.
| Source | What to do | Best practice |
|---|---|---|
| Limited stores | Buy portal items while available | Check stock before it rotates out |
| Infinite modes | Play the mode and collect portal rewards | Use spare runs when you need more portal items |
| Opening portals | Open portal items from your inventory | Expect evolution items, units, more portals, or Secret Portal access |
| Completing respective portals | Finish the related portal for a Secret Portal chance | Repeat only when the related Secret Portal is still relevant |
If your goal is simply to build a stash, infinite modes are the safer grind because they do not depend on a shop timer. If a limited store offers a portal you actually need, prioritize it over a generic run. That is the simplest way to make Anime Adventures Portals work for your account instead of piling up unused icons.
How Secret Portals Work
Secret Portals are not the same as the Anime Adventures Portals you open from your inventory: they are limited-time portal runs that drop Special Units. They hold up to six players, so group play fits them well. The important quirk is how they appear: completing the respective portal gives a slight chance for its Secret Portal to show up as a reward. For example, finishing a Frozen Portal can produce a Frost Queen's Portal.
That means your routine should be: clear the related portal, check the reward, and repeat while the Secret Portal is active and useful. Do not assume every clear guarantees the Secret Portal; the chance is explicitly slight. Bring up to six players when possible, because the cap allows a full group.
| Step | Action | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Check the Portals tab for portal items | Confirms what you can open or run |
| 2 | Complete the respective portal | Creates the chance for its Secret Portal |
| 3 | Inspect the reward screen | Confirms whether the Secret Portal appeared |
| 4 | Team up to six players | Uses the full player cap |
| 5 | Verify the unit is still obtainable | Avoids chasing retired content |
A Secret Portal is worth planning around, not panic-running. If the related portal is quick to clear, repeated attempts make sense while the reward is relevant. If the featured unit is retired, skip the grind and put your time into a portal that can still produce something useful.
Secret Portal Drops and Availability
The table below covers 14 Secret Portal entries. Several are unobtainable now, so treat those as collection history rather than active farms. If a portal has no retirement note, it is still a limited-time feature and should be checked while it is live.
| Secret Portal | Special Unit | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Deception Portal | Switchblade | Limited-time |
| Restriction Portal | Sorcerer Killer | Limited-time |
| Sky Club (Detective mission) | InHuman | Limited-time |
| Frost Queen's Portal | Ice Queen | Unobtainable since Update 11 |
| Devil Katana (Portal) | Blade Beast (Past) | Unobtainable since Update 12 |
| Alien King's Portal | Alien King | Unobtainable since Update 13 |
| Witch City (Walpurges) | Shadowgirl | Unobtainable since Update 15.5 |
| String Portal | Stringy | Unobtainable since Update 16.0 |
| King's Portal | Skeleton Knight | Unobtainable since Update 17.0 |
| Sea God's Portal | Sea God | Unobtainable since Update 17.0 |
| Golden Portal | Golden King | Unobtainable since Update 18.5 |
| Rain Village (Portal) | Agony (Path) | Unobtainable since Update 20 |
| The Fallen Star Portal | Dark Mage | Unobtainable since Update 20.4.1 |
| Enlightenment Portal | Enlightened | Unobtainable since Update 20.4.1 |
A quick scan shows why portal guides need an update check. Older Secret Portals can look exciting in a collection but offer no current route if their event is gone. Focus your clears on entries that are not marked unobtainable, and do not spend a session chasing a retired unit by mistake.
The availability column also matters when you are trading information with other players. A unit name alone does not tell you whether the portal still exists. Check the retirement note first, then decide whether the Secret Portal is worth a group run. This is especially important for Frost Queen's Portal, Devil Katana, Alien King's Portal, and the later entries marked unobtainable.
Smart Portal Opening and Farming Tips
Anime Adventures Portals reward planning more than panic-opening. Use a simple priority order. First, check the Portals tab after every limited-store purchase or infinite-mode session. Second, open portal items when you need evolution items or roster depth, not just when you are bored. Third, save Secret Portal attempts for groups of up to six players. Fourth, ignore retired Secret Portals unless you are only completing collection notes.
| Situation | Smart move | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| You need evolution materials | Open stored portal items | Portals can grant evolution items |
| You want a Special Unit | Run the related portal for its Secret Portal chance | Secret Portals drop Special Units |
| You see a limited-store portal | Buy it before the stock changes | Limited stores are not permanent |
| You have spare time | Play infinite modes for portal items | Infinite modes are a portal source |
| You are missing a retired unit | Skip the farm | The portal is marked unobtainable |
- Check the Portals tab before spending time on unrelated runs.
- Bring up to six players into Secret Portal runs.
- Treat “more portals of their type” as a bonus, not a guaranteed loop.
- Confirm availability before promising a friend a specific Special Unit.
- Keep portal items organized so you do not forget limited-store purchases.
These habits matter because Anime Adventures Portals sit at the intersection of inventory management and event timing. A portal you forget to open is a reward you never receive. A Secret Portal you chase after retirement is time you cannot get back. A group run with fewer than six players leaves the built-in player cap unused.
One more useful habit: separate portal goals from unit goals. If you need evolution items, open portal items and check the results. If you need a specific Special Unit, verify the related Secret Portal's availability and then run that portal with a group. Mixing those goals can lead to opening portals at the wrong time or farming a retired drop because the unit name looked familiar.
FAQ
What are Anime Adventures Portals?
Anime Adventures Portals are inventory items found in the Portals tab. You obtain them from limited stores or infinite modes, then open them for evolution items, units, more portals of their type, or access to an exclusive Secret Portal.
How many players can join a Secret Portal?
Up to six players. Secret Portals are limited-time runs, and the six-player cap makes them a group activity. If you are planning a run with friends, confirm the portal is currently available before everyone joins.
Do Anime Adventures Portals always drop a Secret Portal?
No. Opening a portal can grant evolution items, units, more portals of the same type, or access to an exclusive Secret Portal. Secret Portals themselves have only a slight chance to appear as a reward for completing their respective portals. Do not expect a guaranteed Secret Portal from every clear.
Which Secret Portals should I farm?
Farm the ones that are not marked unobtainable and that drop a Special Unit you actually want. The retired list includes Frost Queen's Portal, Devil Katana, Alien King's Portal, Witch City, String Portal, King's Portal, Sea God's Portal, Golden Portal, Rain Village, The Fallen Star Portal, and Enlightenment Portal. Check the availability column before you commit a session.
