Master Anime Card Clash 4.0: Cheapest Teams, XP Farming, and Raid Strategies!
Welcome to the ultimate guide for Anime Card Clash's 4.0 update! This comprehensive walkthrough will equip you with the knowledge to conquer all new extreme bosses using the most cost-effective team, optimize your XP farming for card upgrades, and dominate raid bosses with an incredibly powerful build.
The Cheapest Team for Extreme Bosses
To tackle the new extreme bosses without breaking the bank, here's the cheapest yet highly effective team you can assemble: For Attack cards, you'll need 'Flame Head Captain' (Gold, Level 90), 'Herald of Fate' (Gold, Level 90), 'Eminence Strategist' (Gold, Level 24), and 'Undead King' (Basic, Level 0). For Support cards, equip 'Vase of Greed' (Basic, Level 0) and three copies of 'Binding Vow' (Basic, Level 0). This team leverages strategic buffs and survivability to overcome even the toughest challenges.
Conquering Shinigami Monk on Extreme
Our recommended team performs exceptionally well against the Shinigami Monk on Extreme difficulty. Despite being somewhat RNG-dependent, the combination of these cards allows for consistent victories. You'll see cards like 'Wild Cat Shinigami', 'Shinigami Illusionist', and 'Fate Weaver Shinigami' fall before your might. Even if it takes a few tries due to RNG, the team's potential is undeniable, leading to a quick win and valuable rewards.
Defeating Substitute Shinigami on Extreme
The same budget-friendly team can also take down the Substitute Shinigami. While demonstrating on Easy mode shows a rapid 21-second victory, the Extreme difficulty, though requiring persistence due to its inherent challenges, is still achievable with this setup. The key is to understand the synergies and trust in the team's ability to deplete opponent HP quickly, eventually securing victory and repeat rewards.
Efficiently Farming Books for Card XP
Books are crucial for leveling up your cards, and there are several ways to acquire them. The most straightforward method is by defeating boss fights. Each boss, regardless of its location in the game, offers both 'First-Time Rewards' and 'Repeat Rewards'. For example, successfully completing the Substitute Shinigami on Extreme yields an Epic Book and two Uncommon Books as repeat rewards, plus many more for your first clear. This makes replaying boss fights a viable strategy for XP gain.
Additional Book Sources: Bijju Beast & Raid Shop
Beyond the main bosses, other areas provide valuable books. The Bijju Beast in Ninja Village, for instance, also drops Uncommon Books as repeat rewards when defeated on Extreme. For a more direct approach, visit the Raid Shop located in Shibuya Station. Here, you can purchase books (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary) directly with gold. The stock refreshes every 24 hours, so check back regularly. While buying can be costly, it's a guaranteed way to get the XP you need.
The Hardcore Tower: Your Best Bet for Legendary Books
For serious XP farming, the Hardcore Tower is your go-to. It has always been a prime spot for rewards, and now it's even more lucrative. As you climb floors, you earn bonus luck towards card rolls (+4 bonus luck every 5 floors, +2.5% for every 25 floors starting at floor 50). More importantly, higher floors reward better books: Common (Floor 50+), Uncommon (Floor 100+), Rare (Floor 150+), Epic (Floor 200+), and Legendary Books (Floor 250+). Continuously pushing your limits in this tower is key to rapid card progression.
Soul King's Castle Tower: Teal Crystals and Soul Sword
Don't overlook the Story Towers, particularly the new Soul King's Castle Tower. Completing this tower, especially at Floor 150 and above, will grant you Teal Crystals. These crystals are essential for crafting the 'Soul Sword', currently the best artifact in the game. The Soul Sword is an Accessory that provides an incredible +60 Luck and +12% Luck while equipped, significantly boosting your chances for rare drops and powerful cards.
AFK Farming with Ugephone Cloud Phones
AFK farming in Anime Card Clash can be demanding on your device, requiring it to run all night. A brilliant solution for this is Ugephone Cloud Phones. Ugephone allows you to rent virtual Android phones, available across various servers (Germany, America, Thailand, Hong Kong). Simply rent a cloud phone, log into Roblox, download an auto-clicker (often available directly from Ugephone's 'Tool Center'), set up your farming routine, and you can close your physical device. Ugephone will continue farming for you non-stop, letting you wake up to a wealth of resources.
Dominating Raids with an Ultra-Powerful Team
For farming raid bosses like Cifer on Extreme, there's a ridiculously overpowered team that you should utilize while it's still available (before potential nerfs). This team consists of one 'Cosmic Villain' (Attack) and three 'White Tigers' (Attack), along with one 'Abyss Lord' (Support). The Cosmic Villain absorbs incoming damage and buffs the HP of your other cards, while the White Tigers unleash immense damage. This synergy allows for incredibly fast and efficient raid clears, yielding valuable items like 'Golden Hollow Feathers' for crafting powerful Gold cards and tons of gold coins.
Prioritizing Card Upgrades: Damage Over Buffs
When deciding which cards to upgrade first, focus on your highest base damage cards. Each level up grants 2.5% of a card's *base* damage and HP. Therefore, a card with 100,000 base damage will gain 2,500 damage per level. Prioritize cards like 'Blade Captain' or 'Ice Admiral' which have high initial damage. Avoid leveling up 'Moon' cards, such as 'Eclipseborn Hawk', as their scaling is poor; a level 100 Moon card might only gain 25% of its stats from upgrades, which is significantly less effective than investing in normal or craftable cards from Battle Towers and Story Mode Towers.
Conclusion
With these strategies, you're now equipped to dominate the 4.0 update in Anime Card Clash. From assembling the cheapest extreme boss team to efficiently farming XP books through towers and raids, and even leveraging cloud phones for effortless AFK gains, your progression will be swift and powerful. Remember to invest wisely in your high-damage cards and make the most of the incredibly potent raid team.
