Espada
The Espada class is the 11th Rank in Anime Fighting Simulator Endless. Inspired by the elite Arrancar army from Bleach, this class signifies you have surpassed the level of a standard Akuma and entered the realm of elite spiritual pressure.
Reaching the Espada rank is a major milestone for mid-to-late game players, offering a massive boost in economy that funds the expensive upgrades required for the Dimension 2 content.
Class Stats and Benefits
With 100k Yen/min, you are earning 6 Million Yen per hour. This is the entry point for “rich” players, allowing you to easily afford:
- High-Tier Weights: For training stats into the billions.
- Champion Pods: You can now afford to spin the 100k Yen pods comfortably.
How to Unlock
To ascend to the Espada rank, visit Wukong.
Requirements:
- Total Power: ~1 Quadrillion (1 Qd)
- Specific Stats: Heavy focus on Sword and Speed (Sonido mastery).
- Cost: 25 Billion Yen
Note: The cost is steep. Ensure you have been farming bosses like Aizen or Grimmjow to save up.
Strategy & Gameplay
The Espada rank is where you start preparing for the endgame dimensions.
1. Gear Optimization
- Hollow Mask: If you haven’t obtained a Hollow Mask accessory or the Resurrección ability, now is the time. They pair perfectly with the class theme and stats.
- Zanpakuto: Ensure you have a Mythical sword like Kyoka Suigetsu or Ryujin Jakka. Standard swords won’t cut it anymore.
2. Farming Locations
- Hueco Mundo: You should be farming in the Hueco Mundo dimension if available. The mobs there drop “Spirit Particles” which are needed for Espada-tier upgrades.
- Gravity Chamber: Espadas are known for their speed (Sonido). Use the Gravity Chamber to boost your speed stat, as higher ranks will require it.
3. Boss Hunting
At this rank, you should be joining raids for Aizen. He drops the Hogyoku, an essential item for breaking past the Espada limits.
Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
Do I get a number tattoo?
No cosmetic changes come with the class, but you can roleplay as your favorite Espada like Ulquiorra or Grimmjow by equipping their champions.
Is Espada better than Captain?
In Bleach lore, it’s debatable. In AFSE, the Shinigami/Captain ranks usually come after or parallel to Espada depending on the specific update version. Always check the class list at Wukong to see the linear progression.
What is the best Special for an Espada?
Cero and Bala are the canonical moves. They are cheap, fast, and scale well with the class multipliers. For ultimate power, look for Resurrección: Segunda Etapa.
Can I skip this rank?
No. The jump to Hashira requires 100 Billion Yen. You need the Espada’s 100k/min income to even dream of affording the next rank.
