Getting started

Another Eidos is a tower defense game with adult VN elements. It's main draw will be it's porn scenes, and it's gameplay only secondary. It features a cast of mostly (gay) male characters with a decent ratio between humans, anthros, orcs, goblins, and the like. They all have porn scenes which may not necessarily involve the main character, and may present kinks that may not be for everyone. As for the tower defense aspect, it is mostly easy going outside of certain challenge quest, and doesn't demand a lot of time for the player. If any of that sounds good to you, maybe you'll enjoy this game.

You can check Characters for the roster of available characters in the game, and you can check CGs if your desired character has their porn scene implemented or not.

For general concerns about the game, you may check the FAQ if it's been answered there, or visit any of the community discords linked at the main page of the wiki.

How many enemies you can afford to leak is show by how much life you still have

Quests

You'll go through various stages presenting either story, battle, or both. Completing story content is your main source of gacha currency for pulls. You'll be able to get free units at the start and midway of Chapter 0.

For more info, refer to Main Storyline.

Exploration Quests

Use exploration quests to grind materials and level up your characters should you hit a wall in beating stages.

For more info, refer to Exploration Quests.

Event Quests

For more info, refer to Event Quests.

Gameplay Loop

You will spend your stamina depending on what you need, be it money, or materials. If you are good on everything, most players farm flyers. It is usually most optimal to play latest 10 stamina stages when they drop flyers, or the highest tier of an exploration stage if you're farming materials/money.

Potential Problems for New Players

• VN content can potentially load too long, usually on unreliable internet connections. It may also result it buggy displays of assets.
• Visual glitches may occur which can typically fixed by clearing your game cache and redownloading assets on a reliable net connection.

If you encounter bugs or are unsure, you can always send a report or inquiry directly to the devs here.

The Gacha

The main ways of summoning new characters are via Scouting using tickets or dragon stones, and using recruitment flyers.

You can find more in depth info here: Summoning.

Gacha Rarities

1 stars are gray, 2 stars are green, 3 stars are blue, 4 stars, are purple, 5 stars are yellow, 6 stars are orange. You are generally expected to amass 1-3 star units from flyer farming. While getting typically 4 stars in scouting.

Power level of units aren't exactly defined clearly by their rarity. Lower unit units are often made to be good at doing one thing really well, while higher rarity units serve to do a lot more than expected of their class.

You usually care more about rarities simply on how easy for you to get a desired unit for their stills.

Dragon Stones

Dragon stones are used to summon units at a rate of 4:1. You can use 40 to get 10 at the same time. You get Dragon stones from first time clears of 3 star and 4 star maps.

Login Rewards and occasional login events are also possible sources. You will also get 4 per maintenance plus more if the maintenance is extended.

Recruitment Flyers

Flyers are gained from any non-exploration level. They can be used to pull any unit from the release of the game.

This is the only way to get 1-2 star units and they competent enough for any of the present content.

Rerolling (Android)

Delete the files "SaveFile.es3" and "SaveFile.es3.tmp.ba" from the file manager. Then open the Habbit Launcher and log in with your new email salt. You can also use this method to switch between multiple accounts. It's impossible to lose your progress and characters, they're permanently bound to the email you logged in with.

Rerolling in this game requires you to create a new Habbit account. If you want to use the same email you can use salts, therefore it is recommended to use a Gmail account. Salted e-mails allow you to use the same e-mail multiple times for registration, this way you don't need to create multiple e-mail accounts. To salt your Gmail add a +string between the name and the @gmail portion of your e-mail address. For example if your email is rerollguide@gmail.com you can salt it by changing it to rerollguide+1@gmail.com or rerollguide+2@gmail.com etc. The text after the + symbol can be any letters or numbers of any length. Any e-mails sent to your salted e-mail will be redirected to the unsalted email (rerollguide@gmail.com).

To log into your new account you have to first delete the "SaveFile.es3" and "SaveFile.es3.tmp.ba" from the file manager before launching AER again OR clear the AER app's data. Deleting the Savefile is much quicker. It's impossible to lose your account progress, all of your pulls and progress are bound to the Email you initialized the game with.

Team Building

Characters are sorted into classes, which suggest their primary niche in battle. Vanguards, Fighters, and Guards are usually melee units placed in low ground that provide choke points for enemies ), while Shooters and Casters are usually ranged units placed in high ground solely to dish out damage and reach aerial enemies. Healers are high ground units solely recover allies' hp in their range. Lastly, Strangers and Supporters are a mixed bag of different units that provide unique buffs/debuffs or ways to deal damage. On each class, there exceptions of course, such as Robin, a supporter that can match performance of a healer, or Kagura, a healer that can be placed in low ground.

For more information on Classes, check The Class System

A good balanced team that can work for most stages usually involves around 2-3 vanguards, 2 healers, and the rest a mix of ranged and melee dps (at least 2-3 for each.) Stalling via Guards is generally less optimal than brining a unit with good dps like Fighters or high rarity Vanguards. It is also good to note that the difficulty of the game doesn't require too much optimal party composition as long as all typical niches are covered.

The free units the game provides are all considerably good, especially Leonhart and Robin.

Friend Code/Support

The friend code is the ID that appears above your name. You can search and add players only if you have the full ID. Codes are not case sensitive. Having someone one your friends list will make them appear in your supports.

Supports are units you can take with you for that battle. You will get a pool of random supports, from players of a similar player level to you, if you have no friends or less than 20 that fill in empty spaces. After using a specific support, there will be a cooldown, disallowing you to use it again for a while. The supports will stay the same until they are shuffled at a later time.

To set a unit as a support, go to your profile and press the wrench on support/skills. There is currently no reward for getting your support picked or using someone else's support.
