Infinite Mode Guide - Anime Origins Wiki

Overview

Infinite Mode is the endless survival mode in Anime Origins, where waves keep coming until your defense falls. Difficulty rises steadily, so the mode is perfect for testing teams, farming rewards, and leaving an AFK farm running overnight. Income and survival matter more here than in any other mode. Start with the beginner guide for the basics.

Video Guide

This ultimate beginner's guide covers the systems you need to understand before attempting long Infinite Mode runs, including summoning, farming, and unit progression. It explains how to build an economy that survives deep into endless waves. Use the AFK farming guide alongside it for full setup details.

How Infinite Mode Works

Infinite Mode starts with easy waves and gradually raises enemy health, speed, and count every few waves. There is no final boss and no victory screen: the run ends when enemies reach your tower. Your goal is to build an economy and defense that outlasts the scaling curve. Check the meta units page for units that scale into late waves.

Because there is no cap, every run eventually ends, and leaderboard rewards are based on how far you survive. Each wave pays gold, so a strong economy buys more upgrades and keeps your defense ahead of the curve. The longer you survive, the better the wave rewards become. See the gold guide for economy fundamentals.

Farming in Infinite Mode

Infinite Mode is the best place to farm passively because waves run automatically and rewards scale with survival time. Many players set up a self-sufficient defense and leave the game running to collect gold, EXP, and materials. An AFK setup needs economy units and full auto-upgrades to keep up. See the AFK farming guide for a complete setup.

Income traits supercharge endless farms. Looting adds +20% income and Hustler adds +30%, while Bluma's Training Data system grants up to +30% income from wave checkpoints. Stacking income early lets you field a much larger army by wave 30. Check the traits guide for income options.

Survival Economy

Endless survival is an economy race: your income must outpace the rising cost of upgrades and units. The table below lists the income sources that matter most in long runs, so prioritize sources that scale with time rather than one-time bonuses. Pair them with the support units guide for the best economy lineup.

Set Up an AFK Farm

An AFK Infinite Mode farm needs three things: economy units that generate bonus income, a defense that handles waves without input, and auto-upgrade enabled. Build your economy in the first ten waves, then transition to defense upgrades before difficulty spikes. Test the setup in a short run first. The AFK farming guide has presets.

After wave 20, check that no single unit is carrying your defense, because if it dies the run ends. Spread upgrades across several units, keep a stun or slow for boss waves, and enable auto-upgrade so gold keeps flowing into power. Even the best setup eventually fails, so collect rewards before leaving. Read the team building guide for resilient lineups.

Survival Tips

Survival in Infinite Mode comes down to decisions made in the first fifteen waves. Spend early income on economy, then on damage, and never hoard gold past the point where upgrades would help. Small advantages compound into dozens of extra waves. Check the gems guide for gems to fund rerolls and upgrades.

Boss waves appear periodically even in endless mode, so keep a stun or slow ready at all times. Traits like Ascendant with +35% boss damage help, and secret units such as Alucard can trap bosses with Coffin Trap. A single strong boss counter extends runs dramatically. See the secret units page for the full list.

• Build economy for the first ten waves before heavy damage upgrades.
• Keep at least one boss counter with stun or high single-target damage.
• Enable auto-upgrade for any run longer than twenty minutes.
• Spread upgrades across units so no single failure ends the run.
• Reset when your defense starts leaking regularly instead of pushing a doomed run.

When to Stop

Every Infinite Mode run ends eventually, so the trick is stopping at the right time. If your defense leaks enemies between waves, or your gold can no longer cover upgrades, the run is near its end. Collect rewards and restart, since a fresh run with a better economy often outperforms a dying one. See the evolution guide for more systems.
