Understanding the Crow Units
In the popular Roblox game, All Star Tower Defense (ASTD), the character Crow is represented by not one, but three distinct units, each with its own method of acquisition and unique abilities. It’s important to understand this distinction before we delve into specifics. We have:
- Crow: A 5-star ground unit based on Itachi Uchiha as seen in Naruto Shippuden. This is your base unit.
- Crow (Ops): A 5-star unit based on a younger Itachi in the Anbu from the Itachi Shinden visual novel.
- Crow (After): An evolved version of the 5-star Crow unit, boasting powerful abilities.
Understanding their distinct roles and how to obtain them is key to maximizing their effectiveness in your strategies.
Obtaining the Base Crow Unit
The Hero Summon
The initial 5-star Crow unit can be obtained solely through the Hero Summon. This means you’ll need to use gems to perform summons, and there’s no guaranteed pull. It’s all about luck and perseverance. Keep summoning from the Hero Banner until you get lucky. This initial Crow is a vital starting point for getting the other versions of Crow.
Obtaining Crow (Ops)
Egg Capsules
Unlike the base Crow unit, Crow (Ops) is obtained through Egg Capsules. Specifically, you need to open Egg Capsules with a rarity of uncommon. Remember, these egg capsules are random. So, you’ll need to collect plenty of capsules or trade with other players until you manage to get the desired Crow (Ops).
Obtaining Crow (After)
Evolution
Crow (After) cannot be obtained directly. Instead, you must evolve your base 5-star Crow. This means that you first need to secure the standard 5-star Crow through the Hero Summon before you can obtain Crow (After). Once you have the 5-star Crow, you can navigate to the evolution interface and evolve the base Crow into Crow (After).
Black Flamsters Upgrade
A major reason to obtain Crow (After) is for his unique ability. The “Black Flamsters” upgrade allows Crow (After) to inflict black flames on enemies. This is a special effect that functions as a slower, yet heavier damaging burn that ticks 20 times total. This makes him a powerful damage over time (DoT) unit in many game modes.
