How to Solo All Cyberpunk Modes in Anime Squadron: A Pro Strategy Guide

Mastering the Cyberpunk Challenge Solo

Achieving a solo victory in the Cyberpunk modes of Anime Squadron requires a calculated approach to team composition and resource management. Many players struggle with these stages because they attempt to rush boss-killing units without securing the fundamental wave-clearing foundation. Whether you are tackling the Garou Challenge or navigating the latest event content, success depends on balancing your economy, unit levels, and damage output.

The following guide outlines the strategic framework established by top players to help you clear these difficult stages without needing a full squad.

Essential Units for a Solo Run

Building a viable team for solo play means prioritizing consistency over raw power alone. According to community reports, the Berserker unit is currently the mandatory centerpiece for these stages. Because the game developers have balanced the difficulty curve around this unit, attempting to substitute it early on often leads to failure.

Core Carry: Berserker

This is your non-negotiable unit. Ensure it is fully leveled before attempting any high-tier challenges, as it provides the backbone for wave management.

Boss Killers: Garu (Half Monster) & Baras

These units are essential for overcoming the massive health pools of event bosses. Garu (Half Monster) is widely regarded as a top-tier choice for boss damage.

Secondary Support: Gometa

Use Gometa to fill the gaps in your team composition, providing reliable secondary damage to support your primary carry.

The Importance of Resource Management

Before spending your precious rerolls or cubes, you must maximize your starting resources. The developers frequently release promotional codes that can provide the necessary materials to level your team effectively.

Always check for active codes before diving into a challenge. Based on recent community updates, strings such as UPD0.75!, TheHeroHunter!, and StrongestChallenger! have been utilized by players to gain an edge. Avoid panic-spending your resources; if you are struggling, use these codes to bolster your team first.

Tip

Do not commit rare rerolls until you have verified that your team setup is fundamentally sound. Testing your squad in a "dry run" is the most cost-effective way to progress.

Step-by-Step Testing Strategy

A successful solo run is rarely the result of a single attempt. Instead, it is the result of iterative testing. Use this process to identify exactly why your team is falling short.

1. Initial Deployment: Enter the challenge with your leveled Berserker and your preferred boss-killer (Garu or Baras).
2. Identify the Failure Point: Observe the combat closely. Does your team struggle during the early waves, or do you reach the boss but fail to eliminate it in time?
3. Optimize Wave Control: If you fail early, focus on your economy and wave-clearing units rather than trying to upgrade your boss damage.
4. Iterative Support Swapping: If you reach the boss but fail to kill it, rotate in one support unit at a time (e.g., Fastwagon, Shinks, or Skeleton Knight) to see which one provides the necessary buff or debuff to close the gap.

Troubleshooting and Common Mistakes

A frequent mistake among players is attempting to replicate a team seen in a video without considering their own unit investment. Remember that a team composition shown in a clip is a strategy example, not a guarantee of success for your specific account.

If you find yourself stuck, avoid the temptation to swap your entire team. Community experts suggest rotating support units one by one. This method allows you to isolate which change actually improves your performance. Furthermore, keep an eye on official channels regarding event durations; do not rush your spending based on rumors about content removal unless an official in-game timer confirms it.

Is the Garou Challenge the same as the Boros Event?

Yes, these terms are often used interchangeably by the community to describe the same One Punch Man-themed boss content. Do not treat them as separate stages.

When should I use rare rerolls?

Only spend rare rerolls or event-specific materials once you have confirmed through testing that a single change (like adding a specific support unit) has brought you significantly closer to clearing the stage.

What if my Berserker is not leveled?

You will likely find solo completion impossible. The stage difficulty is tuned specifically to expect the power level provided by a maxed-out Berserker. Prioritize leveling this unit before anything else.
