Anime Expeditions Raids Guide
How to unlock Anime Expeditions raids at player level 25 — token shop costs and limits, Spirit City basics, and when raid farming beats story loops.
By Bloxron Editorial Team · Last updated
Raids unlock at player level 25. If story stages still leak, fix the lineup first — token farming only helps when clears are steady.
The general raid shop never restocks. Each item has a permanent buy cap, so trait crystals and rerolls are the main long-term reason to run the mode.
Unlock requirements
| Requirement | How | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Player Level 25 | Raids unlock in Areas → Gamemode tab | Earn levels from story, expeditions, summons, and quests. |
| Stable story team | Worth running raids | Tokens beat lucky drops for most accounts — but only if clears are consistent. |
| Evolved carry online | Harder acts become efficient | Act 3 pays better tokens and drop rates when your roster can handle it. |
Mode basics
- Each raid has three acts with its own boss and stage modifiers — harder than story stages.
- Spirit City is the launch raid map — three acts, Spirit Tokens, and raid-exclusive shop stock.
- Some stages can drop raid-exclusive units with better odds on higher difficulties.
- Raid Totems give +10% damage per totem in their specific raid, up to 10 totems (2× damage cap).
General raid shop
| Item | Cost | Limit | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
 Sprite (Grey) | 5 Raid Tokens | 100 | Craft base for all colored sprites |
 Trait Crystal | 10 Raid Tokens | 50 | Best long-term bulk buy when stock is left |
 Stat Reroll | 10 Raid Tokens (3× bundle) | 10 | Polish stat potential on locked-in units |
 Stat Lock | 10 Raid Tokens | 10 | Protect one stat line during rerolls |
 Equipment Reroll | 10 Raid Tokens (3× bundle) | 10 | Use after exclusive gear is equipped |
 Equipment Lock | 10 Raid Tokens | 10 | Protect one equipment stat during rerolls |
Trait Crystal stock (50 buys) is the highest cap — grab those while the general shop still has them. Sprites are cheap filler when you are one grey short.
Spirit City
| Topic | Detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Spirit Tokens | Spirit City acts 1–3 | Spend in the Spirit City raid shop — separate from general Raid Tokens. |
| Spirit City Totem | Spirit City raid shop · 75 Spirit Tokens each | +10% unit damage inside Spirit City per totem owned — stacks up to 10 (2× damage at cap). |
| Act 3 focus | Hardest act you can clear | Better token payout and improved exclusive drop odds when stable. |
When raids are worth the time
| Account state | Best move | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You just unlocked raids | Farm for stable tokens first | Shop progress beats gambling on one lucky drop. |
| Your carry is already evolved | Push harder if clear rate stays stable | That is when token buys start moving the account. |
| Your story team still leaks | Do not force long raid sessions yet | The mode is less efficient if the core roster is still shaky. |
| You already own strong gear candidates | Value equipment and stat rerolls more | Late raid value often comes from polishing a finished core. |
FAQ
When do raids unlock in Anime Expeditions?
Player level 25. Higher difficulties pay better rewards once your team can clear them reliably.
What matters more in raids: tokens or lucky drops?
Tokens for most accounts. They buy rerolls and materials at a steady rate — you are not relying on one lucky clear.
Should I rush raids as soon as they open?
Only if your story team is stable enough to turn raid rewards into real progress. Otherwise the mode feels expensive and slow.
Does the raid shop restock?
No. General raid shop items have permanent purchase limits — plan Trait Crystal and reroll buys around your core team, not a full clear.
Where do Hair Bells and Spirit of the Moonblade drop?
Both exclusive pieces drop from Spirit City Raid Act 1 mastery (about 5% with a 20 pity) and can also be crafted at the Armory Forge. Spend Spirit Tokens on Spirit City Totems first if you farm this raid often — 75 tokens each, up to 10 stacks.
