How to Play Like a Pro (Placement Order)
Wave 1–3
Put down 1 cheap damage unit at the front to hold enemies, then immediately place your Ramen Guy / Stone Alchemist.
Place Your Main Carry Early
Always place 8th Sword (Berserk) as early as possible so he can start stealing kills and stacking permanent extra damage.
Upgrade Farms First
Upgrade your money farmers before maxing out your attackers. More money = faster upgrades later!
Save Your Rerolls!
DO NOT spend your Trait Crystals on rare or epic starter units! Save every single reroll for S-tier Secret/Mythic units like Megumi, Shadow, or Berserk.
Tier List FAQ (Player Questions)
Q1 Who is the absolute best unit in Anime Expeditions?
A: Right now, Megumi (Secret) and Shadow (Divine) share the crown for Magical DPS, while 8th Sword / Berserker (Kempachi) is the undisputed king for Physical DPS.
Q2 Why is Ramen Guy ranked so high if he deals zero damage?
A: Because without Yen, you can't upgrade your carries! Ramen Guy gives you way more money per kill than basic farms. In harder stages, having him in your squad is literally the difference between winning and getting overrun.
Q3 Should I mix Physical and Magical units in the same team?
A: Yes, but be careful with your Buffers!
- If you run Megumi / Elf Mage, bring Forbidden Teacher (Gojo) to buff their Magical damage.
- If you run Berserker / Yuta, bring The Hero to buff their Physical damage.
Q4 Why does my unit feel weak even though it's S-Tier?
A: Check its Trait and Equipment! S-Tier units need good traits (like Unbound or Limit Breaker) and forged gear (like Magic Books or Three Swords From Hell) from the Expedition Armory to show their true power.
Q5 How do I get 8th Sword (Berserk)?
A: You need to grind the Spirit City Raids. He has a 1% drop rate, but there is a guaranteed pity at 35 runs. Keep grinding!
