In Anime Last Stand, the Raid and Inferno challenges are the true tests of power for every dedicated player. These modes grant exclusive rewards — rare units, evolution and awakening materials, and tons of gems — making them the endgame goals for most players.
This guide (based on Update 4.1) will walk you through the best team compositions, positioning tips, and survival tactics, helping even free-to-play players clear high-level content efficiently.
II. Core Mechanics: Understanding High-Difficulty Raids
A. Dangerous Raid Mechanics You Must Know
1. Immunity and Resistance Types Certain bosses are immune to physical or magic damage (for example, Slime King resists physical hits). 👉 Always bring mixed damage units (both energy and physical) to avoid wasted DPS.
2. Special Movement Patterns Some enemies teleport, dash, or even cloak mid-battle — like Shadow Assassin. Counter them with strong AoE crowd-control units such as Gojo or Rimuru.
3. Debuff Auras (Danger Zones) High-tier bosses emit damage-reduction or slow auras. Spread out your units and rely on Buff units to neutralize these effects.
B. Priority Unit Roles for Raids & Inferno
| Role | Recommended Units | Key Function |
|---|---|---|
| Crowd Control (CC) | Gojo / Megumi | Slows or freezes enemies for extended DPS time |
| Buff / Support | Erwin / Bulma Buff | Multiplier-type buffs — essential for Inferno clears |
| Burst Damage | Rimuru / Gilgamesh | Extreme nuke skills to finish bosses quickly |
III. Featured Battle: Slime God Raid (UPD 4.1)
A. Raid Overview and Rewards
Difficulty Levels: Normal / Hard / Inferno Main Rewards: Demon Essence, Awakening Cores, Gems
Clearing Inferno difficulty unlocks Slime Overlord Awakening materials, one of the most valuable drops this season.
B. Team Composition Recommendations
F2P / Low-Budget Setup
- Main DPS: Goku (Mythic), Meliodas
- Support: Bulma (Economy), Erwin (Buff)
- CC: Gojo (Freeze/Delay)
💡 Tip: Focus on economy in early waves (1–10). Build Erwin buffs before the boss phase for optimal efficiency.
High-End / Meta Setup
- Core DPS: Rimuru (Godly), Gilgamesh (Divine)
- Support: Erwin + Merlin (Dual Buff synergy)
- CC / Utility: Sukuna (High burst + AoE control)
🔥 Meta Strategy:
- Rimuru handles consistent DPS
- Sukuna clears boss phases with high burst
- Erwin and Merlin maintain overlapping damage multipliers
C. Step-by-Step Raid Strategy
Wave 1–10:
- Place Bulma early for gold generation.
- Keep basic units upgraded; avoid overspending on AoE early.
Wave 11–20:
- Introduce CC and Buff units.
- Watch spawn points; adjust placement for split-path maps.
Final Wave (Boss Battle):
- Activate all Erwin buffs before the boss skill phase.
- Manually reposition or sell DPS units to dodge boss abilities.
- Finish with Rimuru or Gilgamesh’s ultimate burst for clean victory.
IV. Inferno Mode: Survival & High-Score Strategy
A. What Makes Inferno Mode So Brutal
- HP Multipliers: Enemies and bosses have up to 500% more HP than Hard mode.
- Time Constraints: You must defeat the boss before the timer expires. 👉 Consistent DPS and fast wave clearing are the keys to success.
B. Top Inferno Team Builds
| Team Type | Recommended Units | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Burst Build | Rimuru + Sukuna + Erwin | Endgame-level one-shot potential |
| Sustained DPS | Gilgamesh + Merlin + Bulma | Long-term stability and scaling damage |
| Hybrid Setup | Rimuru + Gojo + Erwin | Mix of crowd control, buffs, and burst power |
💡 Dual-Damage Strategy: Always include both energy-based and physical-based DPS units to deal with resistance-shifting bosses.
C. Perfect Start & Resource Management Tips
- Always prioritize your gold economy (Bulma/Farm units) in early waves.
- Avoid rushing expensive upgrades before Wave 5.
- During mid-game (Waves 10–15), focus fire on elite enemies to prevent leaks.
- In the final wave, manually trigger all ultimates for maximum burst output.
V. Conclusion: From Raid Rookies to Inferno Masters
Clearing high-level Raids and Inferno modes in Anime Last Stand isn’t just about raw damage — it’s about team synergy, buff timing, and positioning precision.
