Top Farm Units for Currency Grinding
Selecting the right units is critical for maximizing your output in Anime Last Stand. Whether you are grinding limited-time events like the Valentine's update or pushing through Story Mode, the units you deploy determine how quickly you clear waves and collect resources. Farm units generally fall into two categories: high-DPS carries that clear waves instantly, and support units that provide economic or drop-rate buffs.

- Optimal event unit evolution for 50% currency boost
Always prioritize units with full-map AoE (Area of Effect) attacks or auto-target capabilities. These units minimize wave clear time, which is the most important metric for efficient auto-farming loops.
Here is a breakdown of the best farm units based on their rarity and farming utility:
| Unit Name | Rarity | Farming Strength | Best Used For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Itadori (Yuji) | Ultimate | High single-target nuke | Soloing event bosses, Valentine's Keys |
| Idol (Pop-Star!) | Celestial | Economy buff (cash generation) | Sustaining expensive unit upgrades |
| Bulmy | Celestial | Deployment cost reduction | Early wave economy setup |
| Strongest Sorcerer (Unsealed) | Extreme Boosted | Massive AoE damage | Clearing dense wave spawns |
| Anto (Monarch) | Extreme Boosted | Summoning & sustained DPS | Long endurance stages |
Event Farming: Valentine's Update Strategy
Limited-time events in Anime Last Stand require specialized team compositions to maximize event currency drops. The Valentine's event introduced two primary game modes: Love Trials and Valentine's Keys. To optimize your farming, you need to understand how event units and their evolution boosts interact with the event's unique mechanics.
Event unit currency boosts cap at specific thresholds. An evolved event unit provides a 50% boost, while applying an event skin adds an additional 25%. Titles like "Eternal Promise" offer another 15%, but shop-purchased titles do not stack with these.
Maximizing Candy Hearts Yield
To get the most out of the Valentine's event, you should prioritize acquiring and evolving the specific event units before grinding the event modes. The Snake Princess, for example, provides a massive 50% candy boost when fully evolved.
| Boost Source | Boost Percentage | Stackable? | Acquisition Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base Event Unit | 25% | Yes | Event Banner Summon |
| Evolved Event Unit | 50% | Replaces base | Evolve using Love Fruit |
| Event Unit Skin | +25% | Yes | Event Shop / Drops |
| Eternal Promise Title | +15% | Yes | Love Trials Drop (5% rate) |
| Heartbreaker Title | +5% | Yes | 7-Day Login Reward |

Macro Setup for Auto-Farming
Setting up a macro is the most efficient way to grind currency in Anime Last Stand, especially for stages like Valentine's Keys that have straightforward wave structures. Using a tool like TinyTask allows you to record your placements, upgrades, and card selections, automating the entire process.
Macros work best on stages with seamless transitions. If a stage requires manual card selection mid-wave (like Love Trials), macroing becomes unreliable due to timing delays. Stick to macroing Valentine's Keys or standard Story Mode stages.
Prepare Your Team
Select a cheap but powerful carry unit like Itadori. Add economy units like Idol and Bulmy to ensure you have enough cash to max out your carry by the early waves.
Play the Stage Manually First
Complete one full run of the stage. Memorize the exact UI button locations for unit placement, the unit manager, auto-upgrade, and the debuff card confirm button.
Record the Macro
Start recording with TinyTask. Click retry, start the match, place your units in their exact spots, open the unit manager, trigger auto-upgrade, and select the 5,000 currency debuff card. Hit confirm and end the recording.
Optimize Click Delays
Edit your macro to insert a "confirm" click after every major action (placing a unit, upgrading). This prevents the game from soft-locking if an animation takes slightly longer than expected.
Run the Loop
Set TinyTask to loop continuously. Ensure your camera angle is fixed and no other windows interfere with the mouse clicks. Check back periodically to handle disconnects or level-ups.
Unit Rarities and Farming Potential
Understanding unit rarities is essential for building an effective farm team. Higher rarity units generally offer superior stats, better AoE capabilities, and unique traits that make clearing waves significantly faster. According to the Anime Last Stand Wiki, units are categorized into several distinct tiers.
If you are a free-to-play player, focus all your resources on obtaining one top-tier Ultimate or Godly unit. A single well-invested Godly unit can solo most farming stages, making it more valuable than a full team of lower-rarity units.
| Rarity | Banner Rate | Farming Utility | Notable Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Godly | Evolution/Special | Extreme damage, full-map clears | The True Cursed King, Boku (Mastered Instinct) |
| Ultimate | Banner 2 (0.01%) | Exceptional DPS, boss killers | Anto (Monarch), Strongest Sorcerer (Unsealed) |
| Celestial | Banner 2 & 3 | Solid carries, good economy units | Idol, Strongest Sorcerer |
| Mythic | All Banners | Reliable mid-game farmers | Strongest Sorcerer, Hero Hunter |
| Exotic | Portals/Codes | Specialized utility, niche farming | Best Waifu, Bulmy |
Farm Team Progression Checklist:
- Obtain a Rare economy unit (e.g., Pri-pri-prisoner for 25% boost)
- Acquire Idol and Bulmy for deployment cost management
- Roll for an Ultimate or Godly carry unit from Banner 2
- Evolve your primary carry to maximize AoE damage
- Set up a working TinyTask macro for your best farming stage
Advanced Farming Tips & FAQ
Optimizing your farm runs goes beyond just having strong units. Understanding game mechanics, debuff cards, and boss spawns will drastically increase your currency per hour.
In modes like Valentine's Keys, filling the "Kubis bar" spawns a Pure Blooded Devil boss alongside 30 Love Struck enemies. Killing this boss yields a massive currency payout. Always select the debuff card that fills this bar fastest to trigger repeated boss spawns.
When farming Valentine's Keys, the most efficient strategy is to select the debuff card that grants 5,000 currency directly. This card provides an instant payout that, when combined with your 50% event unit boost, results in over 30,000 currency per run. Avoid picking useless debuff cards like speed reductions, as they do not contribute to your final currency count.
Q: What are the best Anime Last Stand farm units for beginners?
Beginners should focus on Mythic and Celestial units like Strongest Sorcerer or Hero Hunter. Pair them with economy units like Idol and Bulmy to manage upgrade costs. Once you have enough gems, start rolling on Banner 2 for Ultimate-tier carries.
Q: Can I macro the Love Trials game mode?
Macroing Love Trials is not recommended. The mode lacks seamless stage transitions and requires manual unit placement and card selection every wave, which causes timing issues with macro tools like TinyTask. Focus on macroing Valentine's Keys instead.
Q: Do event unit currency boosts stack with titles?
Yes, event unit boosts stack with titles like the Eternal Promise (15%) and Heartbreaker (5%). However, shop-purchased titles like the QP chosen title (20%) do not stack with event titles, so always use the event-specific title when grinding.
Q: How do I get the Love Fruit for evolving event units?
The Love Fruit is a rare drop from the Love Trials game mode with approximately a 5% drop rate. You may need to run Love Trials up to 50 times to obtain it. This evolution is necessary to increase your event unit's candy boost from 25% to 50%.
