Complete Anime Crusaders New Year's Event Macro Guide: Farm Coins & Units Efficiently

Introduction

The New Year's event on Anime Crusaders is one of the most accessible farming opportunities available, offering substantial coin rewards and the chance to acquire powerful Crusader units. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to macro farming, this comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know to set up an efficient, hands-free farming system that runs smoothly in the background while you tackle other tasks.

Macro farming transforms tedious grinding into passive income, allowing you to accumulate resources without constant manual input. This guide covers unit selection, macro configuration, card path optimization, and troubleshooting tips to ensure your farming sessions are as productive and consistent as possible.

Understanding the New Year's Event Structure

Event Location & Accessibility

The New Year's event challenge is conveniently positioned in the middle of the map, located near the Christmas event area. This placement makes it easy to access repeatedly for macro farming sessions. The event features:

Multiple waves of progressively stronger enemies
Flying enemy encounters that require specific unit types
Boss battle with significant HP requiring coordinated damage output
Consistent run times of approximately 7-9 minutes per completion

Event Rewards & Farming Value

The primary incentives for farming this event include:

Substantial coin drops that accumulate quickly across multiple runs
Crusader unit acquisition through event drops
Buffable units that scale rewards based on your roster
Currency generation proportional to your equipped unit buffers

Understanding the event's structure helps you optimize your farming approach and set realistic expectations for resource accumulation.

Optimal Unit Composition for Maximum Efficiency

Buffer Unit Selection

Unit Type	Damage Output	Best For	Notes
Luffy (New Year's)	~300k per 5 seconds	Early waves, consistent damage	Can almost solo beginning waves
Gilgamesh	2.5mil+ (buffed)	Boss phase, late waves	Instantly nukes enemies
Kuromi	Moderate	Flying enemy coverage	Functions as hybrid/hill unit
Other New Year's Units	Varies	Support roles	Any available New Year's unit
Leveled Gacha Units	Depends on investment	Flexible slots	Additional damage when available

Unit Placement Strategy

Your team composition should prioritize:

Primary Damage Dealers: Luffy and Gilgamesh as your core damage sources
Flying/Hybrid Coverage: At least one unit capable of handling aerial enemies (Kuromi recommended)
Flexible Slots: Fill remaining positions with your strongest available units
Buffer Priority: Equip units that generate currency buffs—currently limited to Luffy if you lack banner currency

Pro Tip: The more units you add to your composition, the more efficient your macro becomes. Even modest units contribute meaningfully to clear times.

Card Path Strategy: Balancing Buffs & Debuffs

Understanding Card Paths

The card selection system presents three paths throughout the event:

Path	Buff Ratio	Best For	Recommendation
Left Path	~80% buffs, 20% debuffs	Weaker unit rosters, safer clears	Click when units underperform
Middle Path	~50% buffs, 50% debuffs	Balanced approach, most consistent	Default choice for reliable farming
Right Path	~20% buffs, 80% debuffs	Optimal units only, risky	Use with top-tier units only

Recommended Card Selection Strategy

For Most Players: Continuously click the middle path for card selections. This balanced approach provides consistent, predictable results without excessive risk or reliance on perfect unit synergy.

For Weaker Rosters: Prioritize the left path to ensure higher buff percentages. This increases clear reliability and reduces the chance of failed runs.

For Optimized Rosters: Experienced players with top-tier units can venture toward the right path occasionally, accepting occasional debuffs in exchange for higher damage potential.

Strategic Flexibility: Adjust your path selection based on real-time performance. If you notice enemies moving faster than expected or your units struggling, shift leftward for safer buffs.

Step-by-Step Macro Setup & Configuration

Pre-Macro Preparation

Before launching your macro farming session, complete these essential setup steps:

Open Unit Manager: Access your unit management interface for an overhead view of your team
Arrange Units: Position your selected units on the battlefield
Disable HP Bars: Navigate to settings and turn off HP bar displays to reduce lag during extended farming sessions
Equip Skins: Apply any owned skins to maximize currency generation alongside your buffer units
Launch Game: Start the event challenge from the map

Tiny Task Configuration

The macro utilizes Tiny Task automation software:

Open Tiny Task: Launch the application on your computer
Record Starting Position: Begin recording from the start menu screen
Record Macro Sequence: Perform the following actions:
- Click start to begin the event
- Perform card selections (middle path recommended)
- Allow auto-upgrade to handle unit leveling
- Complete the entire event run to conclusion
- Click replay 2-3 times
- Wait for popup confirmation
- Click start again
End Recording: Stop recording once the cycle completes

Launching Your Macro

To execute your configured macro:

Position Window: Ensure your game window is in the correct position matching your recorded macro
Press F8: Activate the Tiny Task macro using the F8 hotkey
Monitor Initial Run: Watch the first cycle to confirm accuracy and adjust if needed
Leave Running: Once verified, your macro runs indefinitely until manually stopped

Early Game Phase: Waves 1-8

Unit Upgrade Priorities

During the opening waves, focus your upgrades in this order:

Farm Unit First: Prioritize your primary damage dealer (Luffy recommended) to establish early damage
Secondary Damage: Once your farm reaches adequate levels, begin upgrading Gilgamesh or your secondary damage unit
Defensive Coverage: If flying enemies appear before wave 7-8, upgrade your hybrid/hill unit (Kuromi)
Flexible Upgrades: Allocate remaining currency to whatever unit needs the most immediate support

Early Wave Mechanics

The beginning waves present unique challenges:

Lower Enemy HP: Enemies die quickly with minimal optimization
Limited Unit Readiness: Your team hasn't reached full upgrade potential yet
Luffy's Efficiency: A single well-placed Luffy can nearly solo this phase independently
Farm Establishment: This phase is critical for establishing your economic engine for later waves

Key Insight: Don't over-invest in early wave units. Maintain focus on your primary damage dealers to ensure smooth progression into mid-game phases.

Mid-Game Phase: Waves 8-Boss Preparation

Unit Upgrade Progression

As you progress through mid-game:

Wave Range	Primary Focus	Secondary Focus	Upgrade Frequency
Waves 8-12	Gilgamesh leveling	Supplementary units	Every 2-3 waves
Waves 12-20	Maximize damage output	Maintain defensive coverage	Every wave
Waves 20+	Boss preparation	Final optimizations	As needed

Card Path Adjustments

Mid-game card selection should remain centered on the middle path unless:

Your units consistently clear waves with excessive health remaining (shift right for challenge)
You notice concerning close calls or leaks (shift left for safety)
Enemy speeds vary significantly between runs (maintain middle for consistency)

Damage Output Expectations

By mid-game, you should observe:

Luffy: Approximately 300k damage per attack cycle
Gilgamesh: 2.5+ million damage when buffed (without Crusader bonus)
Supporting Units: Meaningful but secondary contributions
Combined Output: Sufficient to handle waves without significant struggle

Boss Phase: Final Confrontation

Boss Characteristics

The New Year's event boss presents:

HP Pool: Approximately 11 million hitpoints
Attack Pattern: Aggressive but manageable with proper team setup
Vulnerability Window: No special mechanics; consistent damage application works
Defeat Condition: Straightforward DPS race with no complex mechanics

Optimal Boss Strategy

Action	Details
Maintain Damage Output	Keep all damage units active and upgraded
Continue Card Selections	Stay with middle path unless adjusting for consistency
Monitor Unit Health	Ensure no unexpected deaths occur
Utilize Full Roster	All units should contribute to the damage race
Expected Duration	2-4 minutes depending on setup and buffs

Boss Phase Example

With optimal unit composition:

Luffy alone generates approximately 300k damage every 5 seconds
Gilgamesh produces 2.5+ million damage per attack
Supporting units contribute meaningful secondary damage
Boss falls within expected timeframe without requiring specific mechanics or strategies

The boss phase is essentially a straightforward damage check—if your units are properly leveled and buffed, victory is virtually guaranteed.

Macro Consistency & Timing Optimization

Run Time Variance

Expect variation in your clear times due to:

Factor	Impact	Typical Variance
Card Selection	Buff/debuff ratios	±5-10 minutes
Enemy HP Rolls	Random stat variation	±2-3 minutes
Enemy Speed Buffs	Attack speed modifiers	±3-5 minutes
Upgrade Timing	When units level up	±1-2 minutes

Expected Range: Most runs complete between 7-9 minutes, with occasional outliers reaching 10+ minutes during particularly unlucky buff sequences.

Consistency Improvements

To maximize macro reliability:

Record Full Cycle: Include the complete start-to-finish sequence in your Tiny Task recording
Wait Periods: Add appropriate wait times between actions (approximately 15 seconds after completion before replay)
Click Consistency: Use identical click positions for card selections and menu navigation
Window Positioning: Maintain exact game window placement matching your recorded macro
Settings Optimization: Disable HP bars and unnecessary visual elements to reduce lag

Timing Adjustments

If your macro experiences inconsistent timing:

Add Buffer Waits: Insert additional wait periods between critical actions
Adjust Click Timing: Slow down rapid-fire clicks for more reliable registration
Simplify Recording: Remove unnecessary actions that don't impact farming efficiency
Test Multiple Cycles: Run 3-5 test cycles before leaving unattended to verify reliability

Advanced Farming: Background Operation & RDP Setup

Running Macro in Background

Maximize farming efficiency by:

Minimizing Game Window: Reduce the game window to a smaller size or secondary monitor
Running Other Games: Play other titles simultaneously without interrupting your macro
Multitasking Capability: Complete other tasks while passive farming occurs
System Resource Management: Ensure your computer has adequate resources for both processes

RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) Farming

For even more advanced setup:

Follow the Creator's RDP Video: Search "RDP veil" on the channel for detailed configuration instructions
Remote Computer Farming: Set up farming on a secondary computer or virtual machine
24/7 Farming Potential: Enable continuous farming without impacting your primary machine
Maximum Efficiency: Combine RDP with macro for ultimate passive farming

This advanced approach is particularly valuable for players serious about maximizing resource accumulation without any gameplay interruption.

FAQ: Common Questions About New Year's Event Farming

How long does a typical run take?

Most runs complete between 7-9 minutes with standard optimization. Runs can extend to 10+ minutes if you receive multiple debuff card selections, or complete faster (6-7 minutes) with exceptional buff luck.

Do I need specific units to farm efficiently?

While Luffy and Gilgamesh are recommended, virtually any decent unit roster works. The more units you have, the better your macro performs. Even players with limited rosters can farm successfully by selecting the left card path for more buffs.

Can I run the macro on my phone?

Standard macro software requires a computer. However, the creator's RDP guide enables farming on remote computers or virtual machines, which theoretically allows phone-based remote control of a farming setup.

What's the minimum setup required to start?

You need: the game installed, Tiny Task macro software, at least one damage unit (preferably Luffy), and one flying/hybrid unit for aerial enemies. Everything else is optimization.

How do I know if my macro is working correctly?

Monitor the first 1-2 cycles manually. If card selections occur, units upgrade properly, and the event completes before replaying, your macro is functioning correctly.

Should I leave my macro running 24/7?

Yes, if your computer can handle it. Extended sessions generate substantial cumulative rewards. Consider system heat and electricity costs, but farming overnight is highly efficient.

What's the best time investment for this event?

Even 30 minutes of macro farming generates meaningful rewards. Optimal efficiency occurs with 4+ hour sessions where the cumulative farming significantly outpaces manual grinding.
