Anime Destiny Story Mode Guide
Complete walkthrough of story stages, progression tips, and stage-by-stage strategy.
Understanding Story Stages
Story stages are the core PvE progression path. Each act introduces tougher enemies, new mechanics, and better rewards. Clear stages to unlock the next act, farm routes, and harder content like Boss Events and Raids.
Tip: Don't skip stages — each act builds your resource income and unlocks essential game modes.
Act 1–3: Early Game
Acts 1–3 are forgiving. Focus on building a balanced squad with one DPS, one shield breaker, and one AOE unit. Use Legendary units like Yellow Flash or Hawkeye until you pull Mythics. Upgrade your carry to max level before pushing harder acts.
Tip: Redeem codes before starting to stock up on Gems for early summons. Don't waste RR on Rare or Legendary units.
Act 4–6: Mid Game
Enemies gain more HP and shields starting Act 4. You'll need at least one Mythic DPS unit (Red Emperor or Ashura Swordsman) to keep up. Shield-breaking units like Magicbane or Crow Prodigy become essential. Start equipping artifacts on your main carry.
Tip: Farm Namak Planet Hard for upgrade materials. Equip B-tier artifacts (Iron Shield, Apprentice Mark) on filler units.
Act 7–8: Late Game
Late acts demand evolved Mythic units or Secret units. Bosses have multiple phases with enrage timers. Single-target DPS units like Eternal Night or Future Warrior shine here. Bring a freeze or slow unit (Frozen Moon) for crowd control.
Tip: Upgrade your main DPS to level 5 before attempting Act 7+. Equip A-tier artifacts like Shadow Essence or Sage Scroll.
Hard Mode and Stars
After clearing an act on Normal, Hard Mode unlocks with star ratings. Earning 3 stars requires clearing under time limits, without losing units, or with restrictions. Stars reward Gems, Stat Cubes, and exclusive cosmetics.
Tip: Use Secret units for easy 3-star clears. Save Hard Mode for after your squad is fully upgraded.
Smart Spending Tips
- •Story progress unlocks Raid Mode, Boss Events, and Endless Trials — prioritize clearing acts first.
- •If stuck on a stage, farm earlier acts for upgrade materials instead of summoning randomly.
- •Daily and weekly challenges scale with story progress — push acts to increase reward quality.
- •Some stages have elemental resistances — keep a diverse roster of different damage types.
