Killstreak Overview & Stats
Killstreak is a Mythic-tier unit introduced during the Assassin event in Anime Adventures. He is a Physical Storm attacker who uses circular AoE and becomes a hybrid unit on placement, meaning he can target both ground and flying enemies from his very first upgrade path. Note that he is not tradeable, so you must earn him through the event yourself.
Before evolving, his potential grades sit at A- in damage, A in SPA, and A+ in range — a solid all-around profile for a Mythic.
Video Highlights:
- Full base Killstreak showcase with every upgrade level detailed
- Evolution into Killstreak (Speedrun) with a +25% attack speed bonus
- Stat grades revealed: S- damage, A SPA, A+ range after evolution
- Placement count increases from 3 to 4 after evolving
Because Killstreak is hybrid on placement, he is excellent on maps with early flying waves. You do not need to buy a specific upgrade to unlock anti-air targeting.

How to Evolve Killstreak
Evolving Killstreak into Killstreak (Speedrun) is the single biggest power spike available to this unit. The evolution grants a +25% attack speed bonus, improves his damage grade from A- to S-, and — most importantly — unlocks a fourth placement slot, which is nearly a 33% increase in total DPS output from extra copies on the map.
Farm the Assassin Event
Earn Killstreak through the Assassin event activities. Remember he cannot be traded, so you need to obtain him on your own account.
Level to 100
Grind kills with Killstreak deployed to raise him to max level before attempting the evolution.
Gather Evolution Materials
Collect the evolution items listed in his in-game evolution menu. Check requirements before spending resources elsewhere.
Evolve into Speedrun
Complete the evolution to unlock the +25% attack speed bonus, S- damage grade, and the extra 4th placement.
The evolved form's total cost reaches roughly 53.2k at full upgrades across four placements. Save your currency before committing — a half-upgraded Killstreak (Speedrun) underperforms a fully maxed base unit.
Base vs. Speedrun Comparison
The table below summarizes the practical differences between the two forms so you can decide where your resources go.
| Category | Killstreak (Base) | Killstreak (Speedrun) |
|---|---|---|
| Damage Grade | A- | S- |
| SPA Grade | A | A |
| Range Grade | A+ | A+ |
| Max Total Damage | 131k | 282k |
| Final SPA | 5.2 | 7.4 |
| Max Range | 37.6 | 43.3 |
| Placements | 3 | 4 |
| Total Cost | ~31.2k | ~53.2k |
| Tradeable | No | No |
Raw Damage
- Speedrun more than doubles max damage
- Best for boss-heavy stages
- Slower SPA at top upgrade
Efficiency
- Base form is cheaper to max
- Faster SPA at final upgrade
- Good mid-game value
Coverage
- Speedrun gains range and a 4th placement
- Hybrid anti-air in both forms
- Circular AoE clears packed lanes
If you have the evolution materials, always run Killstreak (Speedrun). The fourth placement plus the attack speed bonus outweighs the slightly slower SPA at the final upgrade in almost every scenario.
Deployment Strategy & Checklist
To get the most out of Killstreak, treat him as a mid-lane circular AoE anchor. Place him where enemy paths converge so his circle hits multiple lanes, and use the hybrid property to cover flying waves without a dedicated anti-air unit.
With four placements post-evolution, stagger Killstreak copies along the longest stretch of a single path. Overlapping AoE circles on a straightaway produce far more consistent clears than spreading them across corners.
Killstreak Mastery Milestones:
- Obtain Killstreak from the Assassin event
- Level the unit to 100
- Collect all evolution materials
- Evolve into Killstreak (Speedrun)
- Deploy all 4 placements on overlapping AoE positions
