Candy Kingdom Defense evolution guide
Check the recipe, fill its missing rows, then confirm the exact form.
Independent editorial guide · Source-based, not personally tested
Open the Enchiridion Shrine, select a hero, fill every listed material row and review the final confirmation. Several recorded ordinary recipes use 10 personal items, 5 Pages and 1,000 Gems; The Lich has different requirements. Treat the records below as dated references, not a rule for every hero.[1][2][4]
Read the whole recipe
At the Enchiridion Shrine, select the base hero and compare it with the target form. Read each owned/required row. A number such as 1/10 means one owned and ten required, so nine remain; it is not a one-item recipe. Likewise, an older presenter saying “six more Sandwiches” describes a shortfall, not necessarily the full cost. The inspected Finn preview shows 10 Robo-Arm Parts, 5 Pages and 1,000 Gems.[1]
| Recorded target / older label | Personal item | Other requirements in the reference |
|---|---|---|
| Adult Finn | 10 Robo-Arm Parts | 5 Pages + 1,000 Gems |
| Alien Jake | 10 Sandwiches | 5 Pages + 1,000 Gems |
| Lemongrab 3 | 10 Sour Lemons | 5 Pages + 1,000 Gems |
| Prism Queen Rainicorn | 10 Rainbow Crystals | 5 Pages + 1,000 Gems |
| Marceline Beast | 10 Hunson’s Amulets | 5 Pages + 1,000 Gems |
| King BMO | 10 Core Drivers | 5 Pages + 1,000 Gems |
| Candy Elemental Bubblegum | 10 Elemental Candy | 5 Pages + 1,000 Gems |
These rows are published recipe records, not a universal formula. The shared cost and remaining recipe records are transcribed by the linked material reference; client builds are unknown.[2]
Complete one evolution
- Select the hero and write down the shortfall for every row.
- For its personal item, follow the listed world/Act or use GO THERE if the menu offers it. Use the material route table to avoid farming the wrong mode.
- Win Dungeon Train challenges for Pages; the inspected cards list one Page per repeat win. Do not read the inventory total at the bottom as a reward.
- Keep any required Gems aside. Return to the Shrine once all rows are ready.
- Read the final target and consumption dialog, then confirm only if they match your plan.
The inspected menu says level, XP and trait are retained. This is a published interface record, not our own completed evolution. It does not by itself establish every later patch’s stat-grade retention; inspect the final dialog for your exact form.[1][3]
The Lich is a separate recipe
The inspected Lich confirmation consumes 5 Lich Ooze and 10 Enchiridion Pages for Jake the Lich. It does not list a Gem fee. Do not copy the five-Page/1,000-Gem pattern onto it. First obtain the base Secret through the Lich Portal route.[4]
If EVOLVE is unavailable
| Check | Next action |
|---|---|
| Wrong or unevolved hero selected | Compare both portraits and the full target name. |
| One resource is short | Subtract owned from required for every row; a full personal-item row does not replace missing Pages. |
| You farmed but the count did not move | Recheck the item name and the stage’s repeat reward. |
| Your live recipe differs | Use the live recipe. These older labels and costs are references, not a reason to consume a different item. |
