Anime Expeditions Game Modes
Anime Expeditions game modes guide covering all seven Progressive, Competitive, and Other modes, with progression goals, rewards, leaderboards, and team context.
Release (0.0) referenceThe Play interface groups modes into Progressive, Competitive, and Other categories. A universal tier rank is only a starting point because stage length, enemies, modifiers, and rewards can favor specialists.
Progressive · Raid
Raid acts provide unit and equipment drops with mode-specific rates and pity records; check the linked unit's obtainment data before farming.
Progressive · Challenge
Challenge stages add rules or modifiers that can change the value of elements, archetypes, and status effects.
Progressive · Expeditions
Expeditions are part of the linear progression category and use their own objectives and reward structure.
Competitive · Tournament
Tournament runs operate on a seasonal cycle with changing rewards, requirements, and a leaderboard.
Competitive · Global Tournament
Global Tournament is a leaderboard-driven seasonal mode whose comparisons extend across the wider player base.
Other · Sandbox
Sandbox sits outside progression and competitive categories and is used to test units and mechanics without treating the result as a normal clear.
Editorial standard
