Anime Last Stand Story Guide
Each map has six acts on Normal and Nightmare. Nightmare pays roughly 2.5× Emeralds and EXP. Push every map to Act 6 for evolution items and badges. Planet Nemak Act 6 is a common gate into Banner 2 / Celestials — bank Emeralds before you arrive.
Desert Village first
Start here. Normal acts teach placement; Nightmare is the farm once you can clear. Community payouts put Nightmare well above Normal for the same six acts.
Act 6
Evolution pieces drop here. Stopping at Act 5 leaves your units stuck. Repeat Act 6 on maps you can farm, then move to the next chapter.
Other modes
Infinite, Challenges, Raids, and events unlock as Story advances. They are for materials and exclusive units after you have a real team — not a substitute for Act 6.
