Overview
- Type: Core PvE campaign
- Structure: Worlds → Maps → Acts → Stages
- Star objectives: 3 per stage
- Unlock: Available from the start
Story Mode is the main progression path in Anime Expeditions. It is split into multiple worlds, each containing several maps, and every map is divided into acts made up of individual stages. Each stage has 3 Star objectives to chase, which feed back into overall completion and rewards.
How it works
Clearing all acts of a map unlocks the next map in the chain. The current map progression order is:
- School Grounds
- Flower Forest
- Rose Kingdom
- Fairy King Forest
- King’s Tomb
Beyond the baseline acts, each map layers in optional difficulty and challenge layers:
- Hard Mode — a tougher version of the map for players who want more reward pressure.
- Infinite Challenge — an endurance-style layer on the map.
- Mastery Stage — one per map, unlocked by clearing all acts of that map. Mastery drops exclusive Unit Equipment.
