Raid guide

Anime Zero Raids

Farm Nightmare Shadow Gate for the reported Shadow Monarch path, or Nightmare Spirited Away/Bath House for Flame Director. Both are raid rewards rather than normal Arsenal summons. Prepare a loadout that already clears reliably, finish the encounter and inspect its rewards; a successful run does not mean the exclusive weapon dropped.

Entry and reward paths follow October 2026 publisher and creator reports. Igris response notes are attributed to MK's October 8 recording, not this site's frame-by-frame or gameplay test. Current party caps, attempt limits and some pity rules remain unverified.

Raid reward paths

RaidMain reported kitFinal encounterOther progression purpose
Shadow GateShadow Monarch, commonly called Sung JinwooIgrisMaterials for the separate Monarch Path; source guides also associate Mochi Commander’s development with this raid.
Spirited Away / Bath House / Bathtub RaidFlame Director, commonly called Hu TaoNo FaceGhost and Staff of Homa for Flame Director’s Evolution.

The bathhouse labels refer to the same reported reward path, not three additional raids. A guide’s use of Paramita Pyre can also refer to a title; use the kit name shown in the Evolution or equipment menu instead of assuming every label is another weapon.

Prepare and enter

Choose the raid and Nightmare option in the available lobby/queue menu. Read its actual access condition and reward panel before confirming. The sources do not establish a universal current player-level requirement, Raid Token cost or group-size limit for both raids.

An evolved main kit and a usable second weapon are sensible preparation, because Evolution unlocks the ultimate and T swaps movesets on PC. This is preparation advice, not proof that Evolution is a formal raid-entry gate. If you struggle with ordinary clears, use the first working-weapon upgrade path first.

Bring the partner that covers your main kit’s cooldown gaps or survival needs. A named synergy bonus is only part of that choice. Keep movement room and follow your current dash/block prompts rather than trusting an old claim of permanent skill invulnerability.

For friends, use the same-server and open-room instructions. Roblox’s 20-player server cap does not mean 20 players can join one raid.

Shadow Gate and Igris

The original AllThingsHow report describes guard waves before the Igris encounter. MK’s October 8 narration identifies three main waves, with Igris on the third. Treat that as the recording’s route scope rather than a guarantee that every current variant uses an identical sequence.

Use these dated reported response priorities from MK’s Igris explanation at 1:40:

Reported cueResponse described by the creatorWhat to check before resuming damage
Igris summons smaller bosses and becomes immuneSwitch attention to those summoned enemies rather than spending the rotation into immunity.The summoned threats are defeated and attacks can affect the main boss again.
A clone appears and more smaller bosses spawnThe creator says clearing the smaller bosses is required and the clone itself need not be defeated.Read the live objective and immunity cues; do not interpret the reported tactic as permission to ignore a new build’s objective.
Normal damage windowReturn to the main boss while responding to its attacks.Keep survival and current cues ahead of a long damage animation.

The supplied transcript locates the clone discussion at 2:03. These notes have not been visually rechecked against the current client, and no exact HP trigger, guaranteed safe position or attack timing is invented. If the current encounter does not match the described state, use its own summon/objective prompts rather than forcing the old response sequence.

MK also distinguishes a harder Red Gate from the normal System raid. The available reporting does not establish a current universal way to force that variant, so inspect the selected gate instead of assuming each attempt has identical difficulty.

Spirited Away and No Face

The original Item Level guide describes the route as a Nightmare bathhouse encounter: defeat the enemies through the area, reach No Face, finish the final fight, then inspect the result. Flame Director/Hu Tao belongs to this reward pool rather than normal summons.

Keep the current enemy/objective indicators visible through the encounter. A detailed current No Face attack catalogue is not established here, so this page does not invent a damage threshold, clone-skip technique or guaranteed solo rotation. The goal of this section is the correct access and reward path.

Ghost and Staff of Homa drops still advance Flame Director’s development even when the rare kit does not drop. After acquiring it, inspect the actual Evolution recipe before committing to more attempts.

Drops, pity and repeat attempts

Shadow Monarch: MK’s October 8 report gives a 3% drop chance and 35 pity; a later publisher record gives 32. The precise current guarantee is therefore disputed. Read the selected raid’s live counter rather than planning a guaranteed reward on either number.

Flame Director/Hu Tao: the October 6 Item Level guide reports a 2% drop chance and 35 pity. Those are dated publisher figures, not a fresh redemption test or a guarantee for every current build.

The historical attempt system also changed around the Shadow Gate release. Do not buy, retry or wait based on an old video’s attempt count alone. Check the current free-attempt/cooldown display, and distinguish that resource from the pity counter.

If a run fails or you leave before the encounter completes, do not assume its payout advanced the rare-drop guarantee. The general Update 3 partial-payout report does not establish raid-specific pity counting or reset rules.

After the clear

A cleared raid should lead to its result/reward screen. Check whether you received the kit, an ingredient or only another payout. Repeating a successful raid can target a rare reward; leaving the room after receiving some currency is not proof of a full clear.

Shadow Monarch’s reported development has three stages: The System, Arise: Igris, and Demon King’s Longsword. These are upgrade goals for the acquired kit, distinct from beating the raid boss of the same name. Exact live costs belong to the Evolution panel.

Flame Director’s materials include Ghost and Staff of Homa from the bathhouse reward pool. Use the Evolution process and the material-targeting method to decide what to farm next.
