Raids Guide - Anime Origins Wiki

Overview

Raids are cooperative boss battles in Anime Origins where teams fight powerful raid bosses for valuable Materials. Unlike Story Mode stages, raids push your team composition and single-target damage to the limit. Clearing them rewards the materials you need to evolve your strongest units. Start with the beginner guide if the core loop is still new.

This video shows a full run of Anime Origins starting from zero, including how raids and bosses fit into early progression. Watching a real run helps you understand positioning and when to save abilities for the boss. Pair it with the team building guide for deeper advice on roles.

How Raids Work

Raids pit your team against a single powerful boss with mechanics that change as its health drops. The boss deals heavy damage, spawns minions, and may enrage at low health, so fights are much more demanding than normal stages. Bring your best single-target damage and a plan for surviving its abilities. See the meta units page for top carries.

Completing raids and raid missions rewards different Materials than story stages, making them the main source for certain evolution recipes. Higher-difficulty raids drop better materials and more of them, so players climb raid tiers as their teams grow. Check the evolution guide to see which materials raids provide.

Building a Raid Team

Raid teams need a different balance than story teams. You want heavy single-target damage, one or two supports for buffs and income, and at least one unit that can lock the boss down. Burst actives matter more than wave-clear here, so swap out AOE-focused units for the fight. Read the team building guide for the roles.

Traits are a huge part of raid performance. Ascendant adds +35% Boss Damage and is one of the best raid traits, while crit traits like Rupture also shine against single targets. Rolling the right trait on your carries can be worth more than a rarity upgrade. See the traits guide for all options.

Raid Rewards

The table below summarizes the rewards you can expect from raid clears at different difficulties. Material type and quantity scale with difficulty, so only push tiers your team can clear quickly. Gems and Trait Rerolls also drop from raid missions. Compare with gem sources to balance your farm.

How to Run a Raid

Raids start from the mode select screen, where you choose a difficulty and enter matchmaking or invite friends. Check your team's total damage output before queueing so you do not waste attempts, since underleveled teams time out against raid bosses. Upgrade first. The gold guide helps fund upgrades.

Inside the raid, place your team around the boss's path and save burst actives for the enrage phase. Keep stuns ready to interrupt dangerous abilities, and reposition units if the boss targets your carries. Communication with teammates prevents wasted cooldowns. See the support units guide for coordination picks.

Raid Tips

Raids reward preparation more than raw luck. Level your carries, roll useful traits, and bring the right supports before you queue, because a team that clears a raid in half the time doubles its farming rate. Check the AFK farming guide for ways to fund that preparation.

Boss mechanics repeat across runs, so learn the attack patterns and share them with teammates. Over time you will know exactly when to stun, when to burst, and when to reposition, turning struggling groups into farming machines. See the unit tier list for the units that make it easy.

• Bring at least one stun or slow unit to interrupt boss abilities.
• Prioritize the Ascendant trait for +35% boss damage on carries.
• Farm lower difficulties first to learn boss attack patterns.
• Use the weekly raid shop to convert currency into evolution materials.
• Coordinate active abilities so stuns and bursts do not overlap.

Raids and Endgame

Once your team clears the highest raid difficulty comfortably, raids become a repeatable material farm that powers endgame evolutions. The materials they drop feed the same evolution system used everywhere else, so raid strength compounds into story and infinite progress. Read the evolution guide to plan which materials you need next.
