What is the Winter’s Curse Event in Anime Last Stand?
Winter’s Curse is Anime Last Stand’s special Christmas event that runs for a limited time during the holiday season. This event mode is separate from the regular Story and Infinite modes, offering unique challenges and rewards that you can’t get anywhere else in the game. You can play Winter’s Curse solo or team up with up to five other players for a cooperative experience.
The event features two main game modes: Progressive Mode and Infinite Mode. Progressive Mode is a fixed-length stage where you fight through waves of enemies that get progressively harder until you face the final boss, Frost King. Infinite Mode, as the name suggests, is an endless wave survival mode where you see how long you can last against increasingly difficult enemies.
Both modes offer great rewards, but they serve different playstyles. Progressive Mode is perfect for completing specific quests and earning guaranteed rewards, while Infinite Mode is ideal for farming materials and testing how strong your units really are.
How Do Winter’s Curse Difficulty Modes Work?
Winter’s Curse offers five difficulty tiers that determine how challenging your experience will be: Easy, Normal, Hard, Nightmare, and Purgatory. Each difficulty level is designed for different stages of player progression:
- Easy: Perfect for new players or those with basic units. Great for learning the event mechanics and farming basic materials.
- Normal: Suitable for mid-game players who have upgraded some of their units but aren’t ready for extreme challenges yet.
- Hard: Recommended for players with a solid roster of evolved units who want a good balance of challenge and rewards.
- Nightmare: Requires strong meta units and good understanding of game mechanics. Offers significantly better rewards than lower difficulties.
- Purgatory: The ultimate challenge for end-game players with powerful godly units and optimized team compositions.
What makes Winter’s Curse really interesting is the curse modifier system. You can activate up to 10 “curses” on any difficulty, with each curse making the game harder but also increasing your rewards. These curses can reduce your cash gain, make enemies tougher, or add other challenging effects. The more curses you activate, the better your rewards will be, making high-curse runs very valuable for dedicated players.
For the best results in higher difficulties, you’ll want strong units like Gojo, Asta Sukuna, True Dracula, and reliable farms like Bulma. These units can handle the increased challenge while still dealing enough damage to clear waves efficiently.
What Are the New Units in Anime Last Stand Update 79?
Update 79 introduces an impressive collection of new units that are only available for a limited time. These units are divided into two categories: event-exclusive units and additional update units.
Event-Exclusive Limited Units
These six units are the stars of the Winter’s Curse event and won’t be available forever:
- Senku + Shiny (Event Exclusive): A powerful unit based on the character from Dr. Stone. The shiny version is especially rare and valuable.
- Asta and Yuno (Event/Banner): A duo unit featuring the main characters from Black Clover. They work together to deal massive damage.
- Natsu (Event): The fire dragon slayer from Fairy Tail brings his signature flame attacks to the battlefield.
- Kisuke (Event): The former Soul Reaper captain from Bleach offers strategic gameplay with his unique abilities.
- Silver Chariot Requiem (Event): An evolved form of Silver Chariot from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure with incredible power.
- Yuki (Event): A winter-themed unit with ice-based abilities that fit perfectly with the Christmas event theme.
Additional Update Units
Beyond the event exclusives, Update 79 also adds these units to the regular rotation:

You can obtain these new units through event banners, special drops, or by crafting them using event materials. Remember that the event-exclusive units won’t return until next year’s Christmas event, so if you want them, now is the time to get them!
How to Maximize Event Rewards in Winter’s Curse?
Winter’s Curse introduces several new currencies and reward systems that you need to understand to maximize your gains during this event.
Event Currencies
The event uses three main currencies that you’ll earn by playing Winter’s Curse:
- Snowflakes: The primary event currency used to buy items in the Frost Shop and other winter content.
- Candy Canes: A crafting material used to create special event items.
- Yeti Fur: Another crafting material needed for high-level event crafts.
These currencies drop from enemies in Winter’s Curse, with higher difficulties and more curse modifiers giving you better drops.
Frost Shop and Items
The Frost Shop is where you’ll spend your hard-earned Snowflakes. Here are the most important items available:
- Ho Ho Ho!: A title that boosts your Snowflake income by up to 300%, making it one of the first things you should buy.
- Christmas Capsule 2025: A special capsule that contains seasonal units and items.
- Magician’s Weapons: Powerful equipment for certain units.
- Father’s Insignia: A valuable crafting material.
- Kai Stitches: Used for unit upgrades and evolution.
- Sorcerer Love: A rare material for high-level crafts.
Crafting System
Winter’s Curse introduces two standout crafted items that are essential for tackling higher difficulties:
- Soul of Giving: A craftable item that boosts your stats while inside Winter’s Curse. This becomes almost mandatory for high-curse runs.
- Godly Snowman (Colour variants): Top-tier Snowman pets that provide major buffs, including up to +10 extra levels for your units. These pets dramatically increase your power in the event.
Daily Login Rewards
Don’t forget to log in every day during the event! The Winter’s Curse daily login track offers valuable rewards including:

- Premium Shard: High-quality reroll material.

What Are the Best Strategies for Winter’s Curse?
Success in Winter’s Curse, especially on higher difficulties, requires the right strategy and team composition. Here are some proven approaches to help you dominate the event.
Team Composition for Different Difficulties
For Easy and Normal modes, you can get by with most evolved units. Focus on having a balanced team with some damage dealers and at least one good farm unit like Bulma or Idol to generate income.
For Hard and Nightmare, you’ll want stronger meta units. A good team includes:
- 1-2 strong damage dealers (Gojo, Asta Sukuna, or True Dracula)
- 1 reliable farm unit (Bulma or Idol)
- 1-2 support units for buffs or crowd control
For Purgatory with 10 curses, you need an optimized team. One of the most consistent compositions uses:
- Makima as your primary damage dealer
- Gmy (Grammy) units that replicate Makima’s damage
- Regulus for additional multi-target damage
- Idol and Bulma as your income generation
Step-by-Step Purgatory Clear Strategy
If you want to tackle Purgatory with all 10 curses active, follow this strategy:
- Start with farms: Immediately place Idol and Bulma at the beginning of Wave 1. Turn on auto-upgrade for both, prioritizing Bulma with two upgrade slots and Idol with one.
- Set up your kill zone: Find a central location where multiple enemy paths overlap. This is where you’ll place your damage dealers.
- Place Makima first: As soon as you can afford her, place Makima in your chosen kill zone. She’ll be your main damage engine.
- Add support units: After placing Makima, add Gmy and Regulus around her so they all share the same coverage area. Keep them close enough that Makima’s attack mechanic can interact with them.
- Upgrade strategically: Once both farms are maxed, focus your money on upgrading Makima. Put her on auto-upgrade to a safe breakpoint (usually her third major upgrade).
- Maximize Gmy placement: When Gmy unlocks his extra placements through his event effect, place all allowed Gmys in Makima’s range. This multiplies her damage across the lane.
- Handle the boss: On Wave 20, let your team clear regular enemies until Frost King becomes targetable. With fully upgraded Makima, Gmys, and Reguluses, you should have enough damage to defeat him.
Managing Curse Modifiers
When activating curse modifiers, start with fewer curses and gradually increase as you get more comfortable. Some curses are more challenging than others, so learn which ones affect your team composition the most and either avoid them or build around them.
Remember that titles like Ho Ho Ho can significantly boost your Snowflake gain, making it easier to afford the items and upgrades you need for harder difficulties.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the Winter’s Curse event last in Anime Last Stand?
Winter’s Curse is a limited-time Christmas event that typically runs for about 3-4 weeks during the holiday season. While the exact end date isn’t always announced in advance, these seasonal events usually conclude shortly after New Year’s Day. It’s important to participate as much as possible while the event is active, as all the exclusive units, rewards, and special features will disappear once it ends. The event units and items usually return in next year’s Christmas event, but that means waiting a full year to get another chance at them.
What are the best units for Winter’s Curse Purgatory mode?
For Purgatory mode with multiple curse modifiers, you’ll want the strongest units in the game. The current meta includes units like Gojo, Asta Sukuna, and True Dracula as primary damage dealers. For support, Bulma and Idol are essential for generating income under the cash-reducing curses. The Makima-Gmy-Regulus combo is particularly effective because of how their abilities synergize, allowing you to melt through even the toughest enemies. If you don’t have these specific godly units, look for alternatives with high area damage and good scaling abilities.
How do I get more Snowflakes in Anime Last Stand Winter’s Curse?
Snowflakes are primarily earned by completing runs in Winter’s Curse, with higher difficulties and more curse modifiers giving you better drops. To maximize your Snowflake gain, equip titles that boost event currency – the Ho Ho Ho title can increase your Snowflake income by up to 300%. Playing in a group can also help you complete runs faster and more efficiently, allowing you to farm more Snowflakes in less time. Don’t forget to use the “Snowflakes” code for an instant 1000 Snowflakes to get you started.
Can I complete Winter’s Curse solo or do I need a team?
You can absolutely complete Winter’s Curse solo, even on Purgatory difficulty with all 10 curses active. Solo play gives you full control over your strategy and unit placement, which can be advantageous for precise execution. However, playing with a team of up to 5 people has its benefits too – you can coordinate different unit roles, cover more ground, and share the burden of challenging curse modifiers. Teams also tend to complete runs faster, making them more efficient for farming. Whether you go solo or team depends on your preference and the units you have available.
What happens to event units after Winter’s Curse ends?
After the Winter’s Curse event ends, all the event-exclusive units (Senku, Asta and Yuno, Natsu, Kisuke, Silver Chariot Requiem, and Yuki) will no longer be available through regular means. These units typically return in next year’s Christmas event, but you’ll have to wait a full year for another chance to obtain them. Units you’ve already obtained will remain in your inventory and won’t be affected by the event ending. This makes investing in event units during the event period valuable for the long term, as you’ll have access to powerful units that newer players won’t be able to get for another year.
The Winter’s Curse event in Anime Last Stand Update 79 offers an exciting opportunity to collect limited units, earn exclusive rewards, and test your skills against challenging new content. Whether you’re a casual player looking to enjoy the festive fun or a dedicated grinder aiming for Purgatory clears, this event has something for everyone. Don’t miss your chance to participate before it ends – join the Anime Last Stand Discord to connect with other players, share strategies, and stay updated on all the latest game news. Happy gaming, and may your Winter’s Curse runs be filled with legendary drops!
