The SBR AOT update for Anime Apocalypse is one of the biggest ones yet, adding a brand-new game mode, a new raid stage, and a mountain of rewards to chase, including a new exclusive ability. There's plenty of fresh content to sink your teeth into in this update. So, to help you get your hands on all the rewards, this guide covers everything you need to know to clear all the new modes.
Complete Anime Apocalypse Titan Defense Mode Guide
The Titan Defense mode is set on the newly added Trost map, directly inspired by Attack on Titan. The objective is simple but increasingly difficult as you need to protect Titan Eren as he carries a boulder across the map toward the final checkpoint.
As he moves, waves of zombies continuously spawn and target him, growing stronger and more frequent the further he progresses. If Titan Eren's health drops to zero at any point, it's game over. Your sole mission is to keep him alive until he reaches the end.
As Titan Eren hits each checkpoint along the route, you unlock a special in-game boost that enhances your performance for the remainder of the run. You can earn a maximum of 3 boosts during a full run, so choosing wisely matters. The top stat boosts to prioritize are:
- DMG +5%
- Ability Cooldown Reduction +5%
- Ultimate Gain +5%
Best Tips for Titan Defense Mode
Since zombies spawn in large, ever-increasing waves, AoE-focused abilities are the cornerstone of surviving this mode. The best abilities to bring into Titan Defense are:
- Saiyan (Supreme) is a top-tier pick thanks to Spirit Bomb's ability to wipe out enormous groups instantly, while Ki Blast and Kamehameha handle continuous crowd clearing between cooldowns. Its balance of melee and ranged AoE makes it extremely well-rounded for this mode.
- Pride (Mythic) excels here due to Cruel Sun's massive radius and high burn damage-over-time, which chips away at clustered zombie groups constantly. Sun Glide also lets you reposition quickly while dealing damage, which is useful for staying near Eren without sacrificing DPS.
- King of Curses (Legendary) is a strong budget pick, with Malevolent Shrine having one of the most powerful Domain Expansion AoE attacks. Flame Arrow adds additional group-clearing utility, though its slightly longer cooldowns are worth keeping in mind.
On the gadget side, prioritize AoE-capable options that can cover the path in front of Titan Eren:
- BlackHole (Mythic): It pulls and damages multiple zombies simultaneously, great for clustering enemies before a big ability hit.
- Taunt Beacon (Epic): It redirects enemy attention away from Titan Eren, buying him critical survival time during heavy waves.
- Conqueror's Haki (Legendary): It provides a wide area of clear, especially against smaller zombies, and is one of the strongest AoE gadgets currently in the game.

Complete The Wild West Raid Guide
The Wild West is a brand-new raid stage introduced in the SBR AOT update, set across a rugged Wild West-themed map. The stage pits you against Gairo, a boss inspired by Steel Ball Run: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Gairo spawns with a substantial 55,000 HP, and you can attempt this either solo or in a squad of up to 6 players.
Gairo is one of the toughest bosses currently in Anime Apocalypse. His entire moveset is built around massive AoE attacks with enormous coverage, and many of his hits carry enough force to one-shot players caught in the blast.
Best Tips for Wild West Raid
The fundamental rule for the Gairo boss fight is to maintain distance at all times. This boss punishes anyone who tries to go toe-to-toe in melee range. The safest and most effective strategy is to stay far back, use high burst-damage abilities with range.
The best abilities for this raid are:
- Coyote (Mythic) is arguably the ideal pick for Gairo. Its entirely ranged kit, Quick Draw, Cero Breakdance, Deadeye, and especially Cero Metralleta, that lets you deal sustained, heavy burst damage from complete safety. Cero Metralleta, in particular, is devastating for burning down a large HP pool like Gairo's.
- Shadow Monarch (Mythic) is another excellent choice. While it has some melee elements, Assassin Dash and Multilation Cut provide the mobility to stay safe, and summoning shadow allies means you're always dealing passive damage even when repositioning away from AoE zones.
For gadgets, you want tools that create windows of free damage rather than additional offense:
- Infinity (Legendary): It negates incoming attacks for a period, letting you stand your ground and unload damage without having to dodge.
- Time Stop (Mythic): It freezes Gairo entirely, giving your entire team a clean window to deal maximum damage without any threat of retaliation. One of the best gadgets for tough boss raids in general.
Wild West Raid Rewards
Completing the Wild West raid earns you Raid Coins, which can be spent in the raid shop. Additionally, Gairo himself drops several of these items directly upon defeat. Here's the full reward table with drop rates and shop costs:
| Item | Drop Rate | Shop Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Star Coins | 100% | 50 Raid Coins |
| Lucky Gadget Spin | 45% | 250 Raid Coins |
| Lucky Ability Spin | 45% | 350 Raid Coins |
| Green Racer | 10% | 850 Raid Coins |
| Spin Ability | 1% | 2,500 Raid Coins |
| Steel Ball Run Title | 0.5% | Not Available |
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Your goal is to protect Titan Eren as he carries a boulder across the Trost map. Waves of increasingly powerful zombies will constantly spawn and target Eren. If Eren dies at any point, the game ends in a loss, so keeping him alive is your only priority.
Yes, the Wild West Raid can be played solo, but it's better to attempt it with a full squad of up to 6 players. Gairo spawns with 55,000 HP and deals enormous AoE damage across most of his attacks, with the ability to one-shot anyone who gets caught in blast zones.
The Steel Ball Run Title is the rarest reward, dropping at just a 0.5% rate from Gairo. It cannot be purchased from the raid shop, so the only way to obtain it is through repeated raid completions and hoping for the drop.
For Titan Defense, AoE crowd-control gadgets like Black Hole, Taunt Beacon, and Conqueror's Haki are the strongest picks. For the Wild West Raid against Gairo, Infinity and Time Stop are the better picks.
