What Is Anime Squadron Crafting NPC?
Crafting NPC is the gear NPC in Anime Squadron. Here, your Story drops and Gold turn into equipment for units, from early gear up to Mythic and Secret pieces. The reason to care is simple: gear can fix damage, cooldown, range, HP, defense, accuracy, or another stat problem after the unit is already in your squad. You find Crafting NPC inside the Upgrades area near the Awakening NPC. If the lobby feels busy, follow the Upgrade waypoint and look for the crafting prompt. Once the menu opens, pick the gear piece, read the recipe card, and compare the material count with your inventory. Crafting NPC is separate from Trait Reroll NPC and Stat Reroll NPC. Trait rerolls change trait text, stat rerolls change stat quality, and crafting builds gear. That split matters because the best upgrade depends on the unit's actual problem: bad trait, weak stats, missing awakening, or an empty gear slot.
How To Get Crafting NPC In Anime Squadron
Find the Crafting NPC in the lobby's Upgrades area near the Awakening NPC. Follow the Upgrade waypoint when the lobby feels crowded or the crafting prompt is hard to see. Interact with the prompt to open the crafting menu. The menu shows each gear item, required materials, and any Gold cost before you craft.
Anime Squadron Crafting NPC Abilities
Crafting NPC opens the gear crafting menu. It is for equipment, while summons, trait rerolls, stat rerolls, and awakenings stay in their own systems. Use it when the next upgrade is gear: Saiyan, Pirate, Ninja, Mythic, Secret, or another piece that fixes a unit's current stat problem. The item card shows the gear effect before you spend materials.
Anime Squadron Crafting NPC Pros and Cons
Pros
- Turns farmed materials into gear: The NPC gives Story materials a direct use after farming. Those drops become equipment that can change a unit's combat stats.
- Shows the live recipe before spending: The crafting menu shows the selected gear card and material cost before the craft. That helps avoid spending on the wrong piece when recipes share similar material names.
Cons
- Shared materials create tradeoffs: Materials used at the Crafting NPC can also matter for other gear or awakenings. Spending them without a target unit can slow the next stronger upgrade.
- Crafting fixes gear problems only: The NPC builds equipment, but it cannot replace bad traits, weak stat rolls, missing awakenings, or a poor roster slot. Match the upgrade system to the problem in front of the squad.

When to use the Crafting NPC
Craft gear when a unit already has a real squad slot and one item solves that unit's problem. A carry that needs cooldown, a frontline unit that needs defense, or a support that needs range gives the craft a clear reason.
What the NPC handles
Crafting NPC builds gear. Trait Reroll NPC changes trait text, Stat Reroll NPC changes stat rolls, and Awakening NPC handles evolution routes.
Read the recipe card
Before crafting, read the gear name, rarity, material names, material counts, and Gold cost in the menu. If a saved recipe and the game menu differ, trust the menu in front of you.
