anime story 2 raids: Best Teams, Units & Farming Tips

Anime Story 2 raids are best approached as short, high-pressure farming stages. A successful team needs immediate damage, effects that continue between attacks, and enough utility to handle bosses without wasting deployment space. The most consistent setup centers on damage over time, commonly shortened to DoT.

For a practical solo raid build, use Flame Lion, Rimuru, Beerus, Gojo, and Aizen. The exact result depends on traits, gear, placement, and attack timing, but this composition is designed to end short raid encounters quickly when the damage-over-time effects connect properly.

Video Highlights:

• A solo DoT team uses Flame Lion, Rimuru, Beerus, Gojo, and Aizen.
• Gojo doubles damage-over-time effects from allied units.
• Bat gear is preferred on several DoT-focused units.
• Strong runs can finish in roughly the low-teens range, while inconsistent runs take longer.
• Guts can evade the first attack, so opening damage should not be judged too quickly.

Recommended solo raid lineup

The important distinction is that these units do not all fill the same role. Gojo is the irreplaceable centerpiece for this specific DoT strategy. Flame Lion improves Black Flame damage, while Beerus adds poison-based damage and marks enemies so they take additional damage. Rimuru supplies another important DoT source, and Aizen adds direct damage that helps smooth out weaker runs.

Why DoT works well in raids

DoT effects are valuable because they continue dealing damage without relying entirely on repeated critical hits. This makes the team more stable when the raid boss has defensive mechanics or avoids an opening attack. Gojo increases the value of every compatible effect, allowing the team to concentrate several damage sources into a short encounter.

The build is strongest when:

• The raid boss remains active long enough for multiple DoT effects to apply.
• Your units have enough damage to survive the encounter’s opening phase.
• Gojo’s support effect covers the main damage dealers.
• Your gear improves the relevant damage type rather than wasting stats on critical damage for DoT units.

Not every player will own the recommended five-unit lineup. The best approach is to separate mandatory mechanics from flexible damage slots. Gojo is the most difficult unit to replace in the featured DoT composition because the doubled DoT effect defines the build. Rimuru is also difficult to replace if you want the same style of clear, but alternative direct-damage units can work when you abandon the full DoT plan.

Unit replacement guide

Aizen is a particularly useful flexible slot because his damage remains relevant even when the raid does not perfectly support a pure DoT plan. Shiny Maid can also be considered, but consistency may vary depending on the rest of the lineup.

If you lack multiple recommended units, prioritize the following order:

1. Keep Gojo if you want to use a DoT composition.
2. Retain at least two reliable DoT sources.
3. Add one direct-damage carry for poor DoT cycles.
4. Use a utility unit only when it improves survival or boss control.
5. Avoid filling the team with unrelated units that provide no damage or support synergy.

Gear selection matters because the raid setup relies on different damage categories. The featured build uses Bat gear on Flame Lion, Beerus, and Aizen, while Gojo uses Coal gear and another unit uses Candy Cane gear. The exact best item can change with future balance updates or your available inventory, so treat this as a practical starting setup rather than a permanent rule.

Suggested gear arrangement

The goal is not simply to place the rarest gear on every unit. Match gear to the way that unit deals damage. A critical build may benefit Aizen more than a pure DoT unit because Aizen contributes direct damage, while poison and burn effects use the unit’s underlying damage rather than critical damage.

Stat priorities

For the core raid team, prioritize:

• High damage on Flame Lion, Rimuru, Beerus, and Aizen.
• Consistent support performance on Gojo.
• Traits that improve the unit’s primary damage type.
• Enough range or placement flexibility to keep effects active.
• Avoiding unnecessary critical investment on units whose damage is almost entirely DoT.

The featured setup reached fast solo clears with strong, but not perfect, stats. That means players do not need to copy every displayed stat exactly to begin testing the strategy. However, lower stats can widen the gap between a clean run and an unlucky one.

Understanding clear-speed variance

Raid times are not fixed. A strong run may finish in the low-teens range, while weaker effect timing or unlucky damage patterns can push the result noticeably higher. This is especially important when Guts avoids the first attack. The dodge does not necessarily mean the lineup failed; it means the opening sequence needs time to resolve.

Use this process to test your lineup without wasting repeated attempts. The objective is to establish a repeatable pattern, then improve the slowest part of the run through stats, gear, or unit substitutions.

Farming priorities

Raids can provide several useful progression resources. The featured stage rewards include Guts, Broken Night materials, Dior-related items, Egg of Sacrifice tokens, trade tokens, gems, experience, and gold. These rewards make raids useful for more than simply measuring clear speed.

Focus first on the rewards that directly advance your current roster. If you are still developing units, experience, gold, and gems may be more valuable than chasing a small improvement in clear time.

A good raid farm is more than a fast screenshot. It should produce useful rewards, remain stable across multiple runs, and avoid spending resources on upgrades that do not improve your actual clear condition.
