Anime Origins raid act 3: Step-by-Step Clear Guide

Anime Origins raid act 3 should be approached as a structured endurance challenge rather than a sequence of isolated fights. Before entering, decide which units will handle early pressure, which units will scale into later waves, and which units provide support. A balanced roster usually performs more consistently than a lineup built around damage alone.

The exact requirements may vary with balance changes, difficulty settings, and available units in 2026. Use the in-game raid panel as the final authority for entry requirements, recommended power, and current rewards.

Preparation priorities:

• Confirm that every selected unit has a clear job.
• Include at least one dependable opening option.
• Reserve space for your strongest late-game damage dealer.
• Bring support only when it improves the performance of your core units.
• Review upgrade paths before starting so you do not waste early currency.
• Keep a recovery option available if the raid allows repositioning or unit replacement.

A reliable act 3 team normally divides responsibilities across four functional roles: opening defense, economy, primary damage, and utility. Some units can cover two roles, but hybrid units should not leave a critical gap. For example, a strong damage unit may still be a poor opener if its deployment cost is too high.

Placement is just as important as unit selection. Put early defenders where they can reach enemies for multiple seconds or cover more than one path. Save the best central or extended-range positions for units that gain value from repeated attacks, buffs, or boss targeting.

Use these placement rules when building the field:

• Prioritize coverage over proximity. A unit attacking for longer usually provides more value than one placed closest to the spawn.
• Avoid isolated damage. Your main attacker should benefit from support whenever possible.
• Protect economy units. If a farm unit is placed in a vulnerable area, you may lose more income recovering from leaks.
• Keep upgrade access in mind. A unit hidden behind other placements can become difficult to select during a busy wave.
• Leave room for adjustments. Do not occupy every strong position before the raid reveals its pressure points.

A useful test is to ask whether each placement still has value if the enemy route changes or a boss arrives from a different direction. Flexible positions are especially valuable in a first clear.

The safest route is to establish control early, grow your economy gradually, and spend major resources only after the raid’s later threats become visible. The sequence below is designed for repeatable clears and can be adapted to different rosters.

Act 3 becomes easier to read when every wave is treated as a question: is the problem speed, durability, crowd size, route coverage, or insufficient boss damage? The correct response depends on the threat. Buying another general damage unit is not always the best answer.

For fast enemies, prioritize range, attack speed, or control that applies before they reach the exit. For durable enemies, improve concentrated damage and avoid spreading upgrades across too many units. For large groups, use area coverage or slowing effects to increase the time your attackers have to work.

Targeting settings deserve attention during difficult waves. A damage dealer set to the wrong target may attack a low-value enemy while a dangerous elite advances. Before the boss phase, verify that each major unit is attacking the intended priority.

If the raid includes active abilities, use them for a clear purpose rather than on cooldown by habit. A control ability can buy time during a leak, while a damage ability may be better saved for a boss or elite group. When an ability has a long cooldown, its timing can matter more than its raw strength.

Recovery rules:

• If one lane leaks, reinforce that lane before improving a safe lane.
• If the problem is caused by range, move or upgrade before adding another unit.
• If the boss is surviving with low health, improve focused damage rather than rebuilding the whole map.
• If the run is losing because of income, stop unnecessary upgrades and protect the economy core.
• If the same wave fails repeatedly, change one variable at a time so the cause remains clear.

The first clear is only the beginning of an efficient act 3 strategy. Replays should answer specific questions: which wave created the first leak, which unit carried the run, and where currency was wasted. Recording those observations makes future attempts more consistent than simply repeating the same placement.

Use the checklist below before entering another raid.

Optimization habits:

• Change only one placement or upgrade at a time during testing.
• Compare runs by the wave of the first leak, not only by final victory.
• Keep a simple note of successful upgrade timings.
• Test whether a support unit improves the carry more than another damage unit.
• Recheck the strategy after major patches or changes to raid modifiers.

A macro or automated input sequence should not be treated as a permanent solution. Timing windows, enemy behavior, targeting rules, and balance updates can change. Manual testing is the safest way to confirm that a strategy still works, especially after a patch.
