Tips and Tricks

The only way to win this game is to not play.

Basic Tips

• If you lose track of your mouse cursor often, most emulators have options to increase the size and appearance of it.
• Most stages shouldn't require more than 2 healers. Rather than filling up your team with healers, aim for more attackers with synergy. The faster things die, the less healing your team should require.
• Vanguards are meant to be swapped out after you're done building cost, but a proper team can usually keep them in for the entire battle. If your Vanguard is dying too quickly, determine if either more DPS or faster healing is what you need to keep them alive and plan accordingly. If you have him, Corca can be easy way to help keep squishy Vanguards alive easily.
• Try not to overextend and make a lane more efficient than it needs to be, as this can mean sacrificing needed power from another lane. Study which lanes seem to be the getting most enemies or the strongest enemies to help make sure your putting your strongest allies in the appropriate lane. If a lane or area in a stage stops getting enemies, retreat the allies in that lane and put new ones in areas that still need help.
• The best approach for most any stage is to first identify the exact cause of each loss. If you weren't able to put enough units down quickly enough, consider more Vanguards. If your units keep dying, pay attention to placement order so your tankiest units take the bulk of hits. If enemies keep leaking through, you likely need to increase the damage you're doing, or you're using units with too low a Block count. Identifying the exact moment your defenses fell through and how to fix it is the key.

Recommended Units

It's possible to do even the hardest challenges in the game with weak 1-3 star units, but if you're struggling, there are certain units that are generally agreed to be better than most. This is a list of just a few generally strong units, not all.

1-Star to 4-Stars

Leonhart: Extremely high DPS, and obtainable for free.
Robin: Allies in his Skill range are practically invincible while it's on. Good alternative to Thomas if you don't have him.
Gaia: Just overall good, helps your whole team no matter where he is.
Nitro and Baran: Wide attack range makes them very flexible in where to place them.
Bantu: Low HP and Defense and thus often requires a Healer on him, but his ability to hit both of his blocked enemies at once essentially doubles his DPS when put in front of a busy lane, putting his potential damage above most Fighters.

5 and 6 Stars

Edgar: Also high dps and can hit flying units. Helps greatly in taking the edge off your Shooters and Archers to make sure nothing leaks.
Thomas: Extremely high healing and good range.
Kafka: Very cheap, great Nature that helps your whole team, not bad at fighting with his Skill on.
Jalam: Not great for every stage and a little hard to use, but on stages where he can be set up properly, his Skill can be devastating for the enemy in a large range. Great if there's one part in a stage that seems to keep leaking.
Rook: Can become invincible with his Skill, making him one of the better Cost gain Vanguards.
Corca: The easiest way to keep squishy, low HP allied units alive thanks to Nature. Especially helps in making low HP Vanguards much easier to safely use.

Proficiency

The stat gains from raising Proficiency start experiencing diminishing returns very quickly. At the moment, it's not a wise use of Draco to enhance any of your units past +10 at the absolute most, with +7 or +8 being a fair stopping point. The stat gains at around +7 quickly drop and become very minimal. Since it's not easy to farm large amounts of Draco, enhancing units to high + amounts is difficult to recover from, with minimal gain.
The exact formula for proficiency stat gains per level isn't known, but at the max Proficiency level of +99, units show an average of a 10% stat increase in each stat (except Defense, which seems to show more than 10%.) Thus, it could be said that the overall stats of each unit each level increase by average of 0.1% per level. This does not happen at the same rate for every character however. For example, Ornis and Kagura gain Attack Speed with Proficiency at early +'s much faster than other Healers like Yurt or Pirate Healer, despite starting with the same Attack Speed.

Attack Priority

If there are multiple attackable allies within an enemies range, the enemy will always prioritize the ally that was deployed LAST. Because of this, you should never deploy your most easily killable allies last in stages with a lot of ranged enemies. Put down your squishiest units first, and then defend them by deploying your tank units afterwards to draw fire.

You can also use this tactic to deploy a unit near an ally that's about to die so that enemies will turn their attention towards your fresh unit and away from your dying unit. Keep in mind that, of course, your unit must be within the enemy attack range for this to work. Enemies will neither change their pathing, nor attack out of their possible range just to attack the most recently deployed ally.

Depending on the stage, it could also be wise to NOT deploy your last unit at the very front of your defenses. If you do, they will not only take all the damage from ranged attacks, but they will have to deal with the advancing melee enemies as well. If you're on a stage with strong enemies, this could overwhelm them. It could be wiser to spread out the damage instead of having one unit deal with both melee enemy units and ranged.

Occupied Enemy Tiles

When an enemy unit has collided with one of your allies and they engage in combat, that enemy is considered to be occupying two tiles at once; both the tile your fighting ally is on, and also the same tile as the tile the enemy approached from (which will usually be the title right in front of the ally engaged in combat). Knowing this helps give some leeway to fitting enemy units into the attack range of nearby allies, as it means ranged allies only have to overlap with melee fighters to attack.

Supporting Allies

Although it's instinct to have your melee fighters face the direction of incoming enemies, and there are advantages to doing that, there are certain stages where it can be beneficial to have your adjacent allies face each other instead. When an ally is fighting an enemy in 'blocked' state, they are considered to be occupying the same tile. Thus, any melee ally pointed towards an adjacent ally who's currently fighting will join in the fight, allowing you to defeat enemies faster. However, there are stages where facing away from the enemy brings more disadvantages than advantages, and having characters that have extra range (such as Gaia) face away from incoming enemies can be especially disadvantageous. Plan accordingly depending on the stage.

3-Starring a Stage

In order to get 3 stars on a stage, you must not let a single enemy reach your base, nor allow any of your allies to die. There are no other requirements.
You can manually retreat an ally before it dies and still get 3 stars. Retreating a unit does not count as a death. To make retreating a unit easier, play in 1x speed instead of 2x. This will give you more time to notice a unit is about to be defeated and retreat it. Keep enemy attack priority in mind when doing this to make sure enemies don't switch their priority to an even squishier unit.

Game Performance

If you experiencing issues with lag and performance on the Nox emulator Habbit provides, the first thing you should is try the standalone Nox emulator from the official Nox website instead of the one provided on the AnotherEidos website. The Nox emulator on the AnotherWebsite website doesn't update to later versions.

If you are still experiencing performance problems, try Bluestacks 5. Everyone has different results, but in general, more people report better game performance with Bluestacks emulator than with Nox. For even better performance, download the 64-bit version of Bluestacks if your system supports it, and create a 64-bit instance when starting it up. Allocate as much memory as in you can in Bluestacks Settings. The games .apk can be installed with a simple drag and drop. Ask the Discord if you need help. If you experience crashes and bugs that you didn't before on Nox, switch back to Nox. If neither is working out for you, try either MEmu or Mumu Player.

Note that you should only switch from Nox if you are having noticeable problems with Nox. Bluestacks can perform better, but it also tends to have more loading and hanging issues with AnotherEidos.

Previously, playing the game in Widescreen or Ultrascreen offered a better viewing area of each battle stage. After the 4/07/2022 patch, playing in Ultra/widescreen no longer has any advantage and now adds obtrusive black bars, so it's better to play in Landscape (for Bluestacks) or Tablet mode (for Nox).

Raw DPS Chart

See Max Stats Table
Keep in mind that this only charts Damage per Second without factoring in Natures, Skills, or Traits, or enemy Defense.
Actual in-battle DPS can differ greatly from raw DPS. This should not be taken as a serious indicator of usefulness and is mostly just for fun trivia purposes.

Premium Scouting Tips

There is no benefit in saving for a multi-pull. It's best just to do single pulls until you get your desired featured character, that way you save your remaining stones for the next banner.In this example the desired featured character is 6-star Theodore. If the player stopped scouting after acquiring him in the first four single pulls they could use the remaining 24 unused stones for the next banner.

• There is a benefit to performing consecutive single pulls rather than saving for a multi-pull. If you scout the targeted featured character within the first few single pulls you no longer need to scout on the banner and you can save the remaining stones you would have used for next banner.
• Only try scouting for featured characters, trying to obtain an off-banner specific 5-star or 6-star is very difficult. If none of the featured 5-star or 6-stars interest you, don't scout.
• Prioritize scouting for limited characters. Habbit has a tendency to feature many limited alternates simultaneously, waiting for these banners to appear then attempting to scout for limited characters can net you a lot of off-banner 5-stars.
• 3-stars and 4-stars are essentially "free" characters you will clear out both of the 3-star and 4-star pools within the first few weeks of playing just by scouting them off-banner or through flyers. If you see "new" 3-stars or 4-stars being featured, and those are the only characters you want, don't bother scouting for them. You are likely to obtain these off-banner the next banner you decide to scout on.
• Missing a standard non-limited 5-star doesn't hurt as much as missing a non-limited 6 star. It's possible you will acquire many 5-stars including the one you missed off-banner on the next banner you decide to scout on. Missing a specific 6-star can hurt you a lot more, it's advised to go for 6-stars while they are featured.
• It can take anywhere from 1 to 300+ pulls without getting a specific featured character. Spending an absurd amount of stones trying to get a featured character is common. Sometimes it's best just to let it go.
• Note: Always remember that Another Eidos is just a porn game. Try to only spend money as one's own income allows, and consider simply commissioning an artist for pornography instead. Take caution that gacha mechanics are generally seen as predatory and may develop gambling addiction. If the latter is the case, please seek mental and/or spiritual counsel immediately as it can (and will) be detrimental to one's life.
