Quick answer

The short version

Story-specific preparation for Ground and Hill targeting, placement, upgrade timing, early-wave diagnosis, and explicit unknown stage and reward fields.

This Anime Origins Story Mode guide covers team preparation, Ground/Hill coverage, early defense, placement, upgrade timing, and a repeatable early-wave diagnosis loop. Stage enemies and rewards stay explicitly unknown until current evidence exists.

Story preparation and failure diagnosis for Ground/Hill targeting, early defense, placement, upgrade timing, unknown enemies/stages/rewards, and team-check handoff.

Walkthrough

How to use this page in-game

Use these blocks to decide what to check, what to avoid, and which next page helps before you spend time or resources.

Use a repeatable prepare-observe-diagnose-adjust loop instead of a fabricated universal map walkthrough.

Gameplay evidence shows flying-enemy failure when targeting coverage is missing; verify at least one current Hill/Air-capable option in your own roster.

If you're stuck

Checks before you spend

If flying enemies pass untouched, verify current unit targeting and add confirmed Hill/Air coverage before increasing Ground damage.
If the team loses early despite coverage, review placement and first upgrades; a late-scaling unit may not solve early defense.
Adding more Ground damage when the failure is missing Hill or air coverage.
Upgrading every placement instead of diagnosing the first leaking enemy type.

FAQ

Common questions

Why can a Story team fail against flying enemies?

A unit may not target them. Confirm current targeting rather than assuming a high-rarity Ground unit covers air.

What should I check before upgrading?

Check whether the placed unit can hit the problem enemy, covers enough path, and improves the immediate wave instead of only scaling later.

How do I diagnose an early-wave failure?

Separate targeting, placement, early damage, and economy symptoms, then change one variable and retest.

Are exact Story stages and rewards listed?

No. Current map/enemy/reward tables were not verified and must not be invented.
