Getting started

Another Eidos had a rough transition to 3D

Another Eidos is a tower defense game with adult VN elements. 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 a work in progress with plenty of systems unimplemented or rough around the edges (buggy). If any of that sounds good to you, maybe you'll enjoy this game.

You can check Characters for the roster of available and upcoming characters in the game. Illustrators lists the artists involved. 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.

Chapter 1 - Getting the Game

How do I download this game?

On the game's website, there are download links for PC and android. The PC version comes with the Nox player preinstalled with the app, Habbit Launcher, while the Android version is simply an apk of the said app. It is recommended to simply get the Android version and install in your desired emulator.

In other words, download the .apk file from the AnotherEidos website, and drag and drop the .apk file onto the home screen of the emulator of your choice.

Habbit launcher

Via Habbit Launcher, you'll be able to make your Habbit account, then log-in, and download Another Eidos. For first time install, you must launch the game via the launcher in order for the game to link with your logged in account.

Habbit Launcher is also where you'll be updating the game when a new patch drops.

Which Android Emulator should I use?

You're free to try the Nox emulator from the official Eidos website first, which already comes with the necessary Habbit app installed, and for most people it works just fine. If you want to go a bit beyond, use the Nox emulator from the official Nox website instead. This is due to the fact that the Nox emulator provided by the AE website doesn't have an update check system, which can be a little inconvenient for keeping up with emulator optimizations. If this doesn't bother you, or if the game already runs at 60FPS anyway, stick with the one on the AE website.

If Nox is giving you performance issues, try Bluestacks 5. Bluestacks 5 is usually stated to perform better than Nox, but with AnotherEidos, it can have loading and hang-up issues a little more often than Nox does, so you should generally only switch if needed.

If neither is working for you, try either MEmu or Mumu Player. If nothing works, you might need to update the power of your computer.

Chapter 2 - Playing the Game

The game presents you with a basic tutorial of its gameplay at the start. You can check The Battle System for a better understanding. Though the game never tells you, you are given a free tickets enough for a 10 pull at the very start.

The Main Storyline

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

Play any events you haven't cleared yet. It will take a while to get done so unless something more pressing happens like a new current event, use your stamina here. Currently, one event is open indefinitely, but it may not be the case in the future.

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.

Through playing daily, you will get daily rewards and level up your player ranks. You can find out more about them here: Login Rewards.

Chapter 2.5 Problems and Bugs

Potential Problems for New Players

• The tutorial scenarios are notorious for being the most resource intensive parts of the game for having VN sections within the combat. It may be laggy and outright freeze, but if you're able to get through it, you may have less trouble with the rest of the content. When playing in emulators, this is where you trouble shoot, but with phones/tablets, it may be wise to find a way to play around these stages.
• VN content also has a track record of taking too long to load, leaving a mostly blank screen until the scenario finally loads.
• When the game receives new updates, it may require you to reset your cache and restart your game to save yourself from experiencing visual glitches.
• The game is also known to have memory leaks, and could just randomly tank your fps to 0, though usually the bgm stays playing without a problem. You have no choice but to restart at this point

Check Known Bugs when in doubt. You can also send a report or inquiry directly to the devs here.

Chapter 3 - 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.

Chapter 4 - Rerolling

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.

Chapter 5 - 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.

Chapter 6 - 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.
