Quick answer: Update 3 units use several routes: Standard Banner, quests, Infernal Portals, District 7 and Tower. Confirm the current reward screen before spending currency.

Six Update 3 acquisition routes

Acquisition routes below follow bo3.gg’s September 29 guide. Wild Card and Water Sage conflict with an earlier overview; see the checks below before spending.

Fallen Angel: where to start Devil’s Request

  1. 01

    Find Devil

    Enter Flaming Monastery, Story Act 1, and talk to the Devil NPC to activate the quest.

  2. 02

    Collect the quest drops

    Continue Story runs and clear random Infernal Stages. The reported target is 16 Torn Pages.

  3. 03

    Finish the quest, then plan evolution

    Fallen Angel is the quest reward. Its reported evolution needs a White Pillar Cloak, 25 Red Sprites, 25 Green Sprites, 1 Rainbow Sprite and 10,000 Gold.

If progress is stuck, check that the quest is active before doing more Story runs. Random stage appearances make completion time unpredictable.

Wild Card: which Portal to farm

bo3.gg reports this route: Flaming Monastery Infinite → Infernal Portal → clear Tiers 1–4 → Tier 5 Hard. The earlier All Things How overview instead says standard summons. Check Wild Card’s current obtainment panel before farming or pulling.

Water Sage: check the current Tower season

bo3.gg places Water Sage (Founder) at Tower Season 2, Floor 50. An earlier overview also mentions summons. Open the current Tower rewards and unit obtainment panel first; do not spend Gems on that older claim alone.

How to compare a new unit with your team

A new pull earns a slot by solving a problem. Test whether it improves the wave where you leak, the boss you cannot finish or the economy needed to afford upgrades. Compare units at similar investment; base-form damage and fully evolved damage are not interchangeable.

Team needCompare
DamageAttack pattern, range and upgrade cost
ControlTrigger, duration and enemy restrictions
SupportWhich allies benefit and whether copies stack
EconomyTime until the unit repays its own cost

Spend evolution materials deliberately

  • Inspect the exact form in your inventory.
  • Read the in-game recipe and preserve materials shared with your priority unit.
  • Check the mode you intend to play; a boss-focused kit may not fix wave clear.
  • Reassess after balance patches. Published Update 3 rankings described new units as preliminary.
