Which Anime Zero mode should you farm next?

Treat modes as different tools for different account states. Pick the one that advances your immediate job—not the one a generic guide calls universally best.

DefendA change of task beyond the initial Story loopMatch your build to current difficultyWhen it no longer fits the resource or level goal

RaidSpecific raid-reward goalReported level-50 checkpoint plus readinessWhen the current raid target is not your account’s immediate need

Three example routes

Goal · reach 25

Codes → Story → checkpoint

Start by verifying live code resources, then build regular clears toward the reported gate.

Goal · improve a carry

Stable clears → materials → evolution

Progression sources describe evolution as the unlock path for a weapon ultimate; avoid forcing raid first.

Goal · raid reward

Reach 50 → assess loadout → raid

Use the update page to check the current raid context before spending time or saved resources.

Raid is not the first answer

Reported requirement: community guides place a raid gate at level 50. Even after that, raid is best reserved for a specific reward goal and a build that can meet its current demand.
