Do I need to win the Release Tournament to get Toy Maker?
No. Finishing one full match is enough. Losing still completes Tournament Participation.

How to get Anime Expeditions Toy Maker
Players searching how to get Toy Maker Anime Expeditions want a free Exclusive unit from the launch Release Tournament, not a Gem banner pity pull. Toy Maker is Exclusive rarity with Dark / Psychic typing: it never shoots enemies itself — it spawns stalling Toys that block lanes and explode.
Quick answer: enter the Release Tournament (School Grounds), finish one full match — winning is not required — return to the lobby, open Events → Release Tournament → Event Quests, then Claim Toy Maker. Pair this page with the units hub and provisional tier list once the unit sits in your inventory.

Anime Expeditions Toy Maker kit and upgrades
Toy Maker’s passive is Build-a-Toy: summons Toys on every path inside range instead of attacking. Each Toy’s health equals 100% of Toy Maker’s current Damage. When summons cover multiple paths, that health pool is split across paths — placement on multi-lane maps matters.
| Upgrade | Effect | Tag |
|---|---|---|
| Base | Summons Toys on all paths in range; Toy HP = 100% current Damage | 🧱 Stall |
| Upgrade 2 | Toys gain 15% movement speed | ⏩ Pace |
| Upgrade 4 | Toys deal AoE equal to 10% of their max HP on death | 💥 Clear |
| Upgrade 6 | Every 5th summon cycle mutates a Toy (+150% HP) | 🧬 Spike |

Anime Expeditions Toy Maker playbook
Use this playbook after you know the Claim steps — it covers why Toy Maker is worth grabbing, how to play it, and how it fits Early Access economy without dumping banner Gems.
How to use after Claim
After Claim, park Anime Expeditions Toy Maker as a lane-stall piece while your Story carry farms stars.
Toys inherit Damage as HP, so a mid-roll Toy Maker still slows maps for new accounts more than unused Rare fillers.
| Job | Do this | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Early Story | Deploy on crowded forks to stall | Spending Upgrade 6 Yen on easy acts |
| Boss waves | Let Toys explode fodder; DPS the boss | Expecting Toy Maker to be solo DPS |
| Economy | Save Yen until lanes get dense | Deploying day-one with empty wallet |
Build path — no evolution
Toy Maker has no evolution. Raise levels, fill equipment slots, then spend Trait Crystals via traits.
Community notes that cost-cutting traits help the ~2,200 Yen deploy tax feel lighter during early waves.
- Do01Level Toy Maker on comfortable Story farms
- Do02Prioritize Damage on gear and traits (Toy HP scales off Damage)
- Do03Slot standard gear first; chase exclusives only if they exist for this unit later
- Do04Revisit Trait Crystals after you own a clearer Story carry
Event UI after patches
If Event Quests move after a client patch, re-walk Play → Tournament → Release Tournament → Events.
Do not trust old Discord screenshots for button names; trust Claim success in inventory. Re-check updates when tournament tabs rename.
Participation vs leaderboard
Leaderboard damage is optional flavor for prestige — Tournament Participation only needs a finished match.
New players should place any units they have, die cleanly if needed, and still Claim. That is why Toy Maker remains one of the best Anime Expeditions starter exclusives while the event lasts.
| Goal | Required? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Finish match | Yes | Win or lose both count |
| High damage rank | No | Prestige only |
| Meta roster | No | Any placements are fine |
| Claim in Event Quests | Yes | Confirm unit lands in inventory |
Session checklist for Toy Maker
- Do01Confirm Discord alerts are on for patch / codes posts
- Do02Confirm codes freshness (July 15, 2026) before Claim advice

Patch volatility
Expeditions Entertainment may retune banners, AFK timers, or Raid gates without a flashy headline — skim updates weekly.
Pending verification labels protect you from building plans around fake DPS sheets copied from unrelated anime TD games that only share a vague genre label with Anime Expeditions.

Currency discipline
Gems never place towers; Yen never buys banner pity. Mixing them in chat advice is how new players burn Beginner Banner budgets, skip Trait Crystal farms, then claim Anime Expeditions progression “is broken” when the real issue was spend order.
Pity context for any Anime Expeditions Toy Maker Gem spend: community figures near Legendary ~20 and Mythic ~50 are Pending verification. Re-open the summon UI after every client update before multi-pulling.
Mode map reminder
Clear Story stars for foundation, unlock Expeditions when the toast appears, prepare Raids around level ~25 community reports, and claim AFK / Time Chamber passively between active sessions.
If Story stars stall while chasing Anime Expeditions Toy Maker goals: fix placements with Yen → improve traits on one carry → evolve via evolution → resume Raid prep. Order beats collecting every community mythic name at once.
Prestige vs unlocks
Leaderboard and prestige chasers reading about Anime Expeditions Toy Maker should still verify level gates and mode unlocks in their own client — Early Access lobbies can hide buttons behind progression not covered in outdated Discord screenshots.
Fair play & listing honesty
Skip scripts, exploit rehosts, and phishing “code generators.” Real Anime Expeditions rewards redeem inside Roblox or drop from verified Story, Expeditions, Raids, Challenges, and AFK / Time Chamber modes.
