Raid Overview & Strategy
The New Eclipse Raid in Anime Final Strike has introduced a unique circular map layout that confuses many players. However, once you understand the flow, this raid is quite manageable. The enemies spawn in a loop, meaning your area-of-effect (AoE) units and high DPS dealers can hit multiple waves if positioned correctly.

- Map Layout: Visual guide on how the circular path affects enemy movement.
- Placement Logic: Where to place your Farms and DPS units for maximum coverage.
- Falcon Drop: A demonstration of the sacrifice mechanic required for the Falcon unit.
The circular layout means enemies will pass by your main DPS line twice. Focus your upgrades on units placed in the center or choke points to maximize damage output.
| Feature | Detail | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Map Layout | Circular loop | Enemies return to start, allowing double hits |
| Difficulty | Moderate | Requires specific unit types but not high rarity |
| Recommended Speed | 2x or 3x | 3x is faster but may lag on some devices |
| Primary Mechanic | Circular Flow | Unit placement is more critical than raw power |
Best Team Compositions
Building a team for the New Eclipse Raid doesn't require rare "The One" trait units. The strategy relies on accessible units that most players acquire through normal gameplay or battle passes.
Core DPS
- Ichigo (Secret): Essential DPS. Most players have him from the evolution quest line.
- Yukiota: Strong hybrid unit. Use with Frenzy for best results, though "The One" works too.
Support & Farm
- Nami: Vital for economy/farming. Place her early to maximize gold generation.
- Unico: Shiny or standard version works equally well for support.
Utility & Range
- Cyborg: Easy quest line, great range. Essential for hitting enemies early in the loop.
- Tornado: Banner unit, easy evolution. Excellent crowd control.
If you are missing specific units like Smoker (Loki), check the Battle Pass. You can summon him using coins and obtain his evil item without completing the difficult Rift.
| Unit Role | Recommended Unit | Trait/Version | Acquisition Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main DPS | Ichigo | Secret / The One | Easy (Quest) |
| Sub DPS | Yukiota | Frenzy / The One | Moderate |
| Early Game | Nami | Standard | Easy |
| Crowd Control | Tornado | Evolved | Easy (Banner) |
| Late Game | Cyborg | Standard | Easy (Quest) |
Step-by-Step Execution
Follow this precise deployment order to ensure victory in Act 3 of the New Eclipse Raid. This method prioritizes economy and map control over raw power.
Farm Setup
Immediately place your Nami and Unico units. Since the map is a circle, you want to generate enough gold to upgrade your damage dealers before the first wave completes the loop. Max out your farms first.
DPS Placement
Place Ichigo near the center or the main choke point. This location allows him to attack enemies when they first spawn and again when they loop back. Upgrade him to max damage as soon as gold allows.
Range Support
Deploy Cyborg and Tornado. Cyborg’s range is crucial for sniping enemies as they round the corners. Tornado helps group enemies together, making Ichigo's AoE attacks more effective.
Ability Management
Hold off on using unit abilities (like Smoker's or Ichigo's) until the waves get denser. Pop Smoker's ability to clear clustered groups and use Ichigo's ability on high-health targets.
Sacrifice (Optional)
If you are hunting for the Falcon unit, wait until you have a max-upgraded unit on the field. Press E and click that unit to sacrifice it. Note that this has a 1% drop chance and may require many runs.
Progression Checklist
To ensure you are fully prepared for the New Eclipse Raid and future challenges, track your progress with the following milestones.
Raid Preparation Goals:
- Unlock and evolve Ichigo (Secret)
- Acquire Nami and max farm economy
- Complete Cyborg quest line for free unit
- Summon Loki Smoker via Battle Pass coins
- Successfully solo Act 3 of New Eclipse Raid
- Perform 50+ sacrifices for Falcon drop attempt
This raid is designed so that "leaked" enemies will eventually loop back and meet your main DPS line. Do not panic if a few enemies get past your initial defense; your Ichigo will clean them up on the second rotation.
| Stage | Objective | Key Unit | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early Game | Max Economy | Nami | Low |
| Mid Game | Establish Defense | Cyborg, Tornado | Medium |
| Late Game | Burst Damage | Ichigo, Yukiota | High |
| Grind | Falcon Drop | Sacrifice Target | Very High (RNG) |
FAQ
Q: Do I need units with 'The One' trait to beat this raid?
No. The guide demonstrates a clear using only one 'The One' unit (Ichigo). Units like Cyborg, Nami, and Tornado are easily accessible and perform well without high-tier traits.
Q: Why does my game freeze during the raid?
The raid involves many enemies moving in a circular path, which can cause lag. If your internet is stable, the issue is likely the game engine rendering the loop. Lowering graphics settings or using 2x speed may help.
Q: How do I get the Falcon unit?
You must obtain a specific item (often linked to the sacrifice mechanic). Press **E** on a max-upgraded unit to sacrifice it. There is a **1% chance** for the Falcon to drop, requiring significant grinding.
Q: Is Loki Smoker necessary for this team?
While helpful, he isn't strictly necessary. The guide lists him as an accessible option because you can get him from the Battle Pass without doing the Rift. If you don't have him, focus on upgrading Yukiota or Tornado.
