- Event Target: Complete the Tailed Beast Unleashed Act 2 event to unlock Obito.
- Core Strategy: Use Ichigo (Berserk) as your primary Physical/Dark damage dealer.
- Essential Supports: Equip Nami and Yukino for farming gold and economy.
- Key Mechanic: The event debuffs Magic/Fire/Light, making Physical units mandatory.
- Critical Tip: Keep units spread out to avoid getting obliterated by area attacks.
Event Overview & Preparation
The Tailed Beast Unleashed Act 2 event in Update 0.5 is the primary gateway to acquiring Obito in Anime Final Strike. This challenge requires a specific team composition due to elemental debuffs that penalize Magic, Fire, and Light units while buffing Physical, Dark, and Nature types. Success depends on economy management and understanding enemy spawn patterns.
Video Highlights:
- Solo Strategy: A viable method to solo the event without the "Emperor" or "The One" traits.
- Unit Synergy: How Ichigo (Physical/Dark) counters the event's specific buffs.
- Placement Logic: The importance of spacing units to survive AOE (Area of Effect) attacks.
- Economy Focus: Using Nami and Yukino to sustain income for high-tier upgrades.
Avoid using Magic, Fire, or Light units in this event. They suffer a significant damage penalty. Focus exclusively on Physical and Dark units like Ichigo to maintain DPS efficiency.
| Event Detail | Specification |
|---|---|
| Event Name | Tailed Beast Unleashed Act 2 |
| Update | 0.5 |
| Primary Reward | Obito (Character) |
| Recommended Element | Physical, Dark, Nature |
| Debuffed Elements | Magic, Fire, Light |
| Difficulty | Hard (Requires specific unit upgrades) |
Best Team Composition
To maximize your chances of success, you need a balanced loadout that prioritizes economy and shield-breaking capabilities. The strategy relies on Ichigo as the hyper-carry, supported by units that can generate gold and break enemy defenses.
Ichigo (Berserk)
- Role: Main DPS
- Element: Physical / Dark
- Why: Perfectly matches the event buff. High physical damage output.
- Upgrade Goal: Unlock Full AoE as soon as possible.
Alura
- Role: Shield Breaker
- Element: Nature / Magic
- Why: Essential for breaking shields on Air and Ground units.
- Note: Despite Magic debuff, her utility is vital for shields.
Nami & Yukino
- Role: Economy Farmers
- Element: Support
- Why: "Must-have" units for generating gold to afford Ichigo's upgrades.
- Placement: Backline to protect from damage.
If you lack the 6th unit slot, Ice Admiral can be removed. He provides slow effects but deals low damage (approx. 3,000), making him a luxury rather than a necessity for the core strategy.
| Unit Slot | Unit Name | Primary Function | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slot 1 | Ichigo | Main Damage Dealer (Physical/Dark) | Critical |
| Slot 2 | Nami | Gold Generation | High |
| Slot 3 | Yukino | Gold Generation | High |
| Slot 4 | Alura | Shield Breaker (Air/Ground) | High |
| Slot 5 | Naruto | Support / Hybrid | Medium |
| Slot 6 | Ice Admiral | Slow / CC | Low |
Step-by-Step Execution Guide
Follow this precise deployment order to ensure your Ichigo survives long enough to carry the damage. The early game is defined by economy setup, while the late game relies on positioning and upgrade timing.
Initial Deployment
Start by placing your economy units, Nami and Yukino, immediately. Do not place your damage dealers yet. You need a strong gold foundation to afford the expensive upgrades for Ichigo later.
Place Ichigo
Once you have accumulated some gold, place Ichigo. Ensure he is positioned where he can hit the most lanes, but keep him isolated from other units. Clumping units together risks them getting "obliterated" by enemy AOE attacks.
Unlock Full AoE
Prioritize all gold income into upgrading Ichigo to his Full AoE (Area of Effect) form. This is his strongest upgrade and is necessary to clear the waves of enemies efficiently. Do not spend gold on other units until this is achieved.
Support Placement
Place Alura for shield breaking. Even though she is a Magic unit (which is debuffed), her ability to break shields is crucial for stopping enemies from rushing your base. Place Ice Admiral only if you have extra gold for the slow effect.
Stockpile Gold
After your main setup is complete, stop spending for a moment. Stockpile your gold. Keep a reserve of cash. If your Ichigo gets destroyed, you need to have enough money to immediately re-place him and re-upgrade him. Losing your main DPS without funds is a run-ender.
When the Tailed Beast boss arrives, ensure your money is maxed out. The boss deals massive damage and will likely kill your front-line units. Having a gold reserve allows you to re-summon Ichigo instantly during the boss fight.
Advanced Tactics & Troubleshooting
Success in this event is not guaranteed; it involves a degree of RNG (Random Number Generation) regarding enemy behavior and healing mechanics.
Common Issues to Avoid:
- Healing Spam: Sometimes enemies will spam heal on your main damage unit. This can completely halt your progress. If this happens, you may need to restart the run.
- Placement Errors: Placing units too close to each other leads to mass destruction. Always maintain spacing.
- Wrong Element: Using Magic units for DPS (besides Alura for utility) will result in a failure due to the event debuff.
| Scenario | Solution |
|---|---|
| Ichigo dies early | You didn't stockpile enough gold. Save more next run before the boss spawns. |
| Enemies aren't dying | Check if Ichigo has Full AoE unlocked. Without it, his DPS is too low. |
| Shields aren't breaking | Ensure Alura is placed and upgraded. She is the only reliable shield breaker in this setup. |
| Out of money | Do not upgrade Ice Admiral or Naruto. Focus 100% on economy and Ichigo. |
Be prepared for multiple attempts. The video guide emphasizes that success "depends on your luck" because the enemy AI may randomly focus-fire or heal your units, forcing a restart.

FAQ
Q: Is it possible to get Obito without the Emperor or The One traits?
Yes. The strategy outlined in this guide relies on unit composition and upgrade priority rather than high-tier traits. Using Ichigo with Full AoE is sufficient.
Q: Why use Alura if Magic is debuffed?
Alura is used for her utility as a shield breaker, not for raw damage. Her ability to break shields on Air and Ground units is critical, even if her damage is reduced by the debuff.
Q: What happens if I don't have Nami or Yukino?
You will likely struggle with economy. These units are 'must-haves' for generating the gold needed to upgrade Ichigo. Without them, you will not be able to afford the Full AoE upgrade in time.
Q: Can I use Naruto instead of Ichigo?
While Naruto provides support, Ichigo is the preferred carry due to his Physical/Dark typing which benefits from the event's specific buffs. Naruto is better suited as a secondary support unit.
