Anime Zero Cataclysm – Odds, Pity & Evolution

Cataclysm at a glance

Cataclysm is Miyabi

Anime Zero shows weapons by title, not character, and Cataclysm is the title for Miyabi's moveset. Creator videos match the two consistently, from TrickyRBLX's launch-week evolution to the tier lists made after Update 1. Since Update 1 it is the only Lyth you can summon: the other Lyth weapon, Paramita Pyre (Hu Tao), only drops from the Bath House raid.

If you searched for "Anime Zero catalyst": that is a mishearing of Cataclysm. There is no Catalyst weapon.

Drop rate and the 3,500 pity

The developers publish no rates. The best figure we have is TrickyRBLX's summon panel after Update 1, which lists Cataclysm at 0.01%. Nobody has confirmed whether that panel shows regular or Lucky Spin odds. Older video titles from launch week gave 0.0001%; the panel contradicts that, so treat it as an outdated figure.

Lyth pity is currently 3,500 spins, restored by the October 4, 2026 rollback, which undid a higher value set earlier that day. Normal spins and Lucky Spins both count toward it, and because Cataclysm is the banner's only Lyth, hitting Lyth pity on the summon banner means Cataclysm. animezeroo.wiki still gives roughly 3,000 Lucky Spins. The Anime Zero Wiki's patch log shows the old Zenless pity being cut from 3,000 on October 2, so that figure looks like the launch-week value.

Our calculation: if the panel's 0.01% applies to every spin, the chance of pulling Cataclysm naturally before hitting pity is 1 − (1 − 0.0001)^3,500 ≈ 29.5%. Roughly 70.5% of players will need the full pity. This is our arithmetic on a rate read off one creator's screen, not a published number.

How long the pity takes

The AFK chamber pays one Lucky Spin every 15 minutes, which is 96 a day. On AFK spins alone, 3,500 spins takes about 36.5 days. Codes, quests and Gems (which can be traded for Lucky Spins) shorten that; the pity calculator lets you plug in your own numbers.

How to evolve Cataclysm

1. Collect 4 Soul Fragments. The Anime Zero Wiki reports this requirement from gameplay footage; the developers have not published recipes.
2. Check the drop preview on the queue screen to see which mode or act drops them before you farm.
3. If five runs in a row miss, material pity guarantees the drop on the next one.
4. Evolve at the Evolution NPC. Current reports say there is only one evolution per weapon.

Evolving unlocks Cataclysm's ultimate, the fourth skill, cast with G. Before that you only have the M1 attack and three skills. Creators who evolved it on stream also show a lobby aura and larger effects, though those are cosmetic reports from footage.

Partner and ranking

The official synergy is Lights of Divinity (Saber): +8% speed, -5% cooldowns. Lights of Divinity is a Mythic on the summon banner, so it is far easier to own than Cataclysm. Without it, any second weapon still gives the generic +5% damage, and swapping in with T adds +20% damage for 4 seconds.

The admin tier list shared by creators puts Cataclysm in Meta, its top tier; it was made before Paramita Pyre existed. Valentless's October 5 list puts it in S, below Cursed King and Paramita Pyre. Compare both on the tier list, and see every weapon on the weapons list.

FAQ

What are the odds of getting Cataclysm in Anime Zero?

One creator's summon panel after Update 1 shows 0.01%, or one in 10,000 spins. It is not confirmed whether that is the regular or Lucky Spin rate. Most players who get it will still get it from the 3,500-spin Lyth pity.

Is Cataclysm the same as Miyabi?

Yes. Cataclysm is the in-game name of the Miyabi weapon, the same way Cursed King is Sukuna.

Is it Cataclysm or Catalyst?

Cataclysm. "Anime Zero catalyst" is a common mishearing from videos; there is no weapon called Catalyst.

How do I evolve Cataclysm?

Gameplay footage shows it asking for 4 Soul Fragments. Farm runs that drop them; if five runs in a row give nothing, material pity guarantees the next one. Evolving unlocks the ultimate on G.
