- Extraction Guide: The anime universe tower defense extraction guide focuses on completing specific Quest Book objectives within the 35-minute time limit to unlock and safely extract exclusive units.
- Quest Objectives: Deliver 5 pizzas and collect 3 green and 3 orange/blue crime scene evidences (orbs) while clearing red exclamation point tower defense mini-games.
- Boss Strategies: Defeat Green Goblin (fast DPS check), Venom (unit deletion mechanic), and Tangerine (Mandarin) to secure a 25% chance of unit drops.
- Critical Bug Warning: Avoid high-speed movement or sharp angles when swinging near walls to prevent clipping through the map and failing the run.
- Team Composition: Run ground-only DPS and support units like Gogeta, Sailor King, and Moto. Hill units are completely unusable due to a lack of placements.
Anime Universe Tower Defense Extraction Guide Overview
The brand-new Spider-Man Extraction Game Mode introduces a unique, high-stakes progression loop to Anime Universe Tower Defense. Unlike standard defense modes, success here requires actively completing Quest Book objectives spread across an open city map rather than simply surviving the timer. Players have a maximum of 35 minutes to complete their checklists, defeat three powerful bosses, and reach the extraction point to secure their loot.
Video Highlights:
- Point System: Learn how to draft a team using the starting 100-point budget.
- Quest Book Priority: Why you must focus on objectives instead of just surviving.
- Orb Hunting: How to locate the hidden green and orange crime scene evidences.
- Boss Showdowns: Complete walkthroughs for Green Goblin, Venom, and Tangerine.
To participate in the extraction mode, players must manage a unique 100-point deployment budget where different unit rarities cost specific point values. This makes budget-friendly support units highly valuable for maximizing your main damage dealers.
| Unit Rarity | Point Cost | Role in Team |
|---|---|---|
| Secret Units | 30 Points | Main DPS / Carry |
| Mythic Units | 15 Points | Secondary DPS / Buffers |
| Exclusive Units | 15 Points | Specialized Support |
| Rare/Common Units | Budget-Friendly | Buff Synergies (e.g., Nami) |
The Spider-Man event maps and boss arenas contain no hill placements. Do not bring hill units like Fern, as they cannot be deployed. Stick entirely to ground-based units.
Best Team Composition & Point Management
To clear the extraction mode efficiently, you need a team that balances high single-target DPS, crowd control, and damage buffs while staying under the 100-point limit. The following loadout is highly recommended for consistent 20-to-30-minute clears.
Main DPS Carry
- Gogeta (Main Damage)
- High AoE and Nuke ability
- Synergizes with Nami's buff passive
Support & Buffers
- Idol (Damage Buffing)
- Sailor King (Crit Buffing)
- Nami (Cheap Gogeta buff activator)
Crowd Control
- Moto / Ancient Shinobi
- Infinite rewind mechanic
- Keeps bosses in spawn zones
By utilizing Nami, you save valuable points that allow you to run high-cost Secret and Mythic units. Your accumulated cash also transfers directly into the boss fights, meaning any money saved during mini-games will help you max out your defenses instantly during the final encounters.
| Unit Name | Role | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Gogeta | Main DPS | Place at the front; upgrade twice during mini-games. |
| Moto | Time Rewind | Position near spawns to loop fast enemies and bosses. |
| Sailor King | Buff / DPS | Maximize upgrade for wide line AoE coverage. |
| Bulma | Money Farm | Max out early in every red challenge and boss fight. |
Do not over-upgrade your units during the red exclamation point mini-games. Upgrading Gogeta once or twice is enough to clear waves, allowing you to save excess cash for the boss fights.
Step-by-Step Quest Book Walkthrough
To unlock the boss fights and earn the right to extract, you must complete the Quest Book objectives. If you ignore these quests, you will not receive any unit drops at the end of the run.
Complete Pizza Deliveries First
Locate the blue pizza icons on your map. Complete 5 pizza deliveries immediately. This objective is shared across multiple unit quests and should be finished first to clear your map.
Hunt for Crime Scene Evidences
Listen for your Spider Senses to go off. Look through walls for glowing orbs: 3 Green Orbs (for Green Goblin/Spider-Man quest) and 3 Orange/Blue Orbs (for Iron Man quest). These are usually hidden on rooftops or behind alleyways.
Clear Red Exclamation Points
Trigger the red exclamation points to start 5-wave tower defense mini-games. You must clear these to collect specific enemy modifiers (such as Sprinter, Hyper Armor, Air, Cloner, and Range). Plan to clear 6 to 7 red zones per run to satisfy all modifier requirements.
The movement mechanics in this mode can be wonky. If you swing into walls or rooftops at maximum velocity, you may clip through the map, fall to your death, and instantly fail the run. Always lose your momentum before hitting solid objects.
Boss Mechanics & Battle Strategies
Once all Quest Book objectives are complete, the boss markers (skulls) will appear on the map. You must defeat them to earn a chance at unlocking Spider-Man, Venom, and Iron Man.
| Boss | Gimmick | Counter Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Green Goblin | Bugged pathing & invisible units | Set main DPS to Strongest target priority. Nuke him down quickly before he reaches the early defeat trigger zone. |
| Venom | Random unit deletion | Monitor your unit placements constantly. If he deletes a buffer or DPS, immediately redeploy and max them out again. |
| Tangerine (Mandarin) | Clone spawning & damage check | Use Moto's rewind at the spawn gate. Utilize Gogeta's AoE nuke to clear clones instantly. |
Boss Setup Guide
For all three bosses, place your money farms (Bulma) and max them out immediately using your carried-over cash. Position your rewind units (Moto) right at the entrance of the tracks to keep the bosses trapped in your main DPS range.
Use Sailor King for critical hit buffs and ensure Nami is placed within Gogeta's range to activate his passive damage multipliers. When Venom or Tangerine's shields break, trigger Gogeta's ultimate nuke to chunk their health pools.
After defeating the bosses, head to the green glowing extraction circle on the rooftop. Start the extraction event, survive the final waves, and safely cash out your hard-earned loot.
Extraction Checklist & Rewards
Ensure you have completed all necessary steps before initiating the final extraction countdown to maximize your drop rates.
Pre-Extraction Checklist:
- Deliver all 5 pizzas to clear quest requirements
- Collect 3 green and 3 orange crime scene evidences
- Clear red zones until all modifier quests are completed
- Defeat Green Goblin, Venom, and Tangerine
- Locate the green extraction point on the rooftop with low momentum
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why can't I place my hill units in the Spider-Man extraction mode?
The Spider-Man extraction maps and boss arenas do not feature any valid hill placement spots. You must rely entirely on ground-based DPS and support units.
Q: What should I do if my units stop attacking the Green Goblin boss?
Green Goblin is currently affected by a targeting bug. To counter this, manually set your main DPS units (like Gogeta and Sailor King) to 'Strongest' target priority so they lock onto him.
Q: Do I get guaranteed unit drops upon successful extraction?
No. Successful extraction grants a 25% chance for character drops (such as Spider-Man, Venom, or Iron Man) and a 40% chance for evolution items, alongside guaranteed relics and rerolls.
Q: How do I prevent my character from falling through the map?
The map collision can glitch at high speeds. Always release your swing and reduce your momentum before landing on roofs or colliding with building walls.
