Anime Squadron Update 0.5 Berserk Eclipse Guide
Update 0.5 is the first major post-launch content spike for Anime Squadron. It adds Berserk-themed units, Eclipse raid content, new reward codes, bounty tickets, skins, and early meta shifts. Use this page to decide what to redeem, what to farm, and what not to overinvest in until the tier data stabilizes.
Quick answer: redeem Eclipse!, LongMaintenance!, and UPD0.5! first. Then test whether your team can clear Eclipse content consistently. Berserker, Falcon, and Skeleton Knight are exciting, but their final rankings should stay flexible until more sources agree.
What's New in Anime Squadron Update 0.5?
The update is centered on Eclipse-themed Berserk content and progression systems.
Berserk units
The update adds Berserker, Falcon, Casca, and Skeleton Knight style units, including evolved forms such as Berserker [Enraged], Falcon [Dark], Casca [Resilience], and Skeleton Knight [Resonance].
Eclipse content
Players are farming Eclipse raid and story / squadron stages for unit drops, materials, and progression. The raid is the page to watch for Skeleton Knight and event-route optimization.
New systems
Bounty Tickets, Bounty Board tasks, skin cosmetics, shop bundles, and new gear entries all appear in the Update 0.5 research notes.

New Berserk Units and Early Roles
This table separates confirmed unit existence from still-moving tier conclusions.
| Unit | Origin | Role | Obtain route | Early tier read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Berserker | Guts · Berserk | DPS base form | Summon banners, 0.2% reported drop for base | A-to-S watch after evolution |
| Berserker [Enraged] | Guts · Berserk | Main DPS | Evolve Berserker; superior variant reported at 0.1% | S watch; strong but not final SS |
| Falcon | Griffith · Berserk | Sub-DPS / money utility | Summon / raid drops reported | S watch because economy value matters |
| Falcon [Dark] | Griffith · Berserk | Sub-DPS / Yen generation | Evolve Falcon | S watch; passive utility is the selling point |
| Casca | Casca · Berserk | Lane pusher / DPS | Summon banners | B watch; lower priority than other update units |
| Casca [Resilience] | Casca · Berserk | DPS / lane pusher | Evolve Casca | B watch; build only if needed |
| Skeleton Knight | Skull Knight · Berserk | Tank / support | Complete Act 4 of Eclipse (Before) Raid | S watch |
| Skeleton Knight [Resonance] | Skull Knight · Berserk | Tank / support aura | Evolve Skeleton Knight | S watch; aura may be meta-relevant |
New Mechanics to Understand
Update 0.5 is not only a unit drop. The systems affect how you spend codes and farm.
Bounty system
LongMaintenance! gives Bounty Tickets, which means codes now connect directly to bounty progression. Check the Bounty Board before spending tickets or ignoring bounty-related tasks.
Skin system
Skins are cosmetic, but they matter for player interest and future guide content. Do not confuse skin value with tier-list combat value.
Eclipse raid
The raid appears to be the main farming target for Skeleton Knight and event materials. Treat consistency as the key metric: a slower reliable clear beats a failed “perfect” farm setup.
New gear and bundles
Research notes mention new gear names and shop bundles. Before spending Gold or materials, compare the gear guide and unit priority list.
Update 0.5 Tier List Impact
The meta appears additive rather than a hard reset.
Existing top carries still matter
Gometa, Woo, Madora, and other current top units are not automatically replaced just because Berserk units launched. Do not abandon built units without proof.
Economy value increased
Bounty and money-maker mechanics make economy picks more important. Fastwagon-style value should be judged by progression speed, not only damage.
Berserk units need a second check
Early hype can be real and still unstable. Recheck tiers after players test raid clears, evolutions, trait interactions, and gear scaling.
What to Do First in Update 0.5
Follow this route to avoid wasting the update window.
- Redeem all current codes. Start with Eclipse!, LongMaintenance!, and UPD0.5!, then finish the full codes page.
- Check your raid clear reliability. If Eclipse runs are inconsistent, improve your carry, tank, and economy core first.
- Decide your target unit. Berserker is the DPS chase, Falcon is the utility/economy watch, and Skeleton Knight is the tank/support route.
- Save rare materials. Do not spend update materials or Perfect Cubes until you know which unit will stay in your team.
- Recheck tier impact. Compare this page with the tier list after more guides and community testing appear.
