Battle Mode - Main Story

Battle Mode
The main form of level progression in Anime Warriors is through Battle Mode. Battle Mode consists of Normal Mode and Elite Mode, described below. All battles consume vitality and give certain rewards needed to strengthen your team and recruit new Fellows (usable units). Battle Mode consists of chapters that you can progress through as you increase your account level and squad power.

Normal Mode
In each Chapter of Normal Mode there are 7 battles, often separated by text scrolls that offer you a choice and grant you a reward. The seventh battle is often much more challenging than the previous 6, and each chapter is considerably harder than the previous. Most stages have 1 or 2 levels of basic mobs and then the boss lineup, but early levels typically consists of only the boss lineup.

Each Normal Mode level costs 5 vitality to play. Once you have gotten 3 stars on a battle you can use a raid ticket to instantly complete the level again for possible drops. Completing a level grants your account and all units used in battle 25exp.

You can earn up to 3 stars on each battle, for a total of 21 stars each chapter. At 7, 14, and 21 stars you can open a chest with a reward in it. The first star is awarded for completing the level, the second star is awarded for having no casualties on your team, and the third star is awarded for completing the level quickly.

Elite Mode
Once you have cleared a chapter of Normal Mode, that chapter becomes available for Elite Mode. Whatever the icon is for a stage in Normal Mode it is the same in Elite Mode, but the possible drops change and now include the summon stone for that icon unit. Units take either 10, 40, or 100 of their stone to summon. Elite levels are considerably more challenging than Normal levels and cost 10 vitality instead of 5, however, they also give double exp (50, compared to 25). Each Elite stage can only be attempted 3 times per day. There are no scrolls to read between stages in Elite Mode. There are still chests that can be obtained at 7, 14, and 21 stars.
