Reading order
Start with the first-session guide and the codes page. Open traits before you spend crystals. Use modes when you leave Story, and the Update 5 guide when you are pulling the Hallow's Eve units. The tier board is a dated editorial shortlist, not a mode-by-mode team.
Which [π] Anime Expeditions guides are published?
First session: codes, Beginner Path, and Story
Redeem the current codes, finish the Beginner Path, spend Beginner Tickets on the Beginner Banner, and clear Story on Normal before Hard.
Trait rerolls, odds, and pity
Spend 1 Trait Crystal per reroll, keep the four mythic traits when they match the unit, and use pity only for the counter the game is actually tracking.
Summons, banners, and Gem spending
Use Beginner Tickets on the Beginner Banner, read the live Gem price, and pick the Mini Banner only when it holds the one mythic you want.
Story, Tower, East Town, and Boss Rush
Move from Story first-clears to East Town Mastery for exclusive gear, Tower Floor 50 for Cubert, and Boss Rush only after the roster can handle six gates.
Evolution recipes and Warrior Saga gear
Evolve from the live panel, and farm East Town Mastery for the six named Warrior Saga pieces instead of chasing unpublished stat lines.
How to read the Update 5 unit rankings
Use the October and November damage lists as a shortlist, then change the team when a mode removes traits, punishes an element, or blocks a summon.
Update 5 and the Hallow's Eve units
Update 5 landed with the November 1, 2026 Hallow's Eve preview. Five new unit names were listed that day, and a November 8 pass added kit notes plus Emerald Fist.
