Anima Power remains locked away until you reach a certain point in League Swarm where you’re finally strong enough to take down a powerful boss. The good news is that by the time you’re in a position to unlock Anima Power, you’ll be strong enough to complete its requirement. But unlocking Anima Power is just the first step. Once you’ve gained access to this upgrade, you’ll quickly realize it’s one of the more expensive options in the game, so there will be a lot to consider.

To get Anima Power in League Swarm, you need to defeat Aatrox on the Beachhead on Hard difficulty. This encounter also has a respective mission under Objective and Two Stars, and you may need to verify you can see it before taking the fight to Aatrox.

Anima Power is one of the most powerful scaling upgrades for the late game in Swarm. By the time players unlock this upgrade, they may have already maxed out many other enhancements, and the level of power that Anima Power brings to the table is unmatched, especially for the best champs.

Should you level up Anima Power in League of Legends Swarm?

Yes, you should definitely level up Anima Power in Swarm. The one percent damage, one percent movement speed, one ability haste, and one percent pickup radius buff may seem small at first glance, but these bonuses become incredibly overpowered as you invest more into this upgrade.

Due to the low percentages and high cost, Anima Power can feel underwhelming at its early levels. Each level of this upgrade requires 3,000 Gold, which may seem like a lot, but by the time players unlock Anima Power, they might have accumulated a considerable amount of Gold. Additionally, each mission at this stage of the game yields large Gold rewards, so you’ll have plenty of sources to fund this upgrade.

Anima Power’s percentage increases are tied to the level of the upgrade itself, not the level of your champions, so getting the upgrade to levels where the percentages start making a difference takes time and Gold.
