All New Winter Event Materials and Where to Get Them

Anime Last Stand Winter Event Guide Best Ways to Farm Materials & Get Crates!

To unlock the best rewards, including titles and crafting bonuses, you need to collect six main Winter materials. These drops mainly come from bosses in the Winter stages and Infinite mode. Here is where each material comes from:

• Mechanical Snowflakes Dropped by the Snowman Tank boss.
• Krampus Horns Dropped by the Krampus boss. This is one of the most important materials.
• Winter Scarves Also dropped by the Krampus boss.
• Yeti Fur Dropped by the Yeti boss.
• Ice Crystals Dropped by the Ice Queen-style boss (spawn is randomized).

Boss spawns are random, so you will need to replay stages multiple times. While some materials can drop in normal stage mode, Infinite Mode on max difficulty is the most reliable way to farm everything efficiently, especially Krampus Horns.

Best Game Mode to Farm Winter Materials

If you are serious about grinding, Infinite Mode is the best option.

• Infinite Mode gives more chances for boss spawns.
• Krampus has a chance to appear from major boss rotations.
• Drop rates for rare materials are better over time.
• You can still earn crates and snowflakes while farming.

Normal stage mode is easier, but it is slower and less consistent for rare drops like horns. Infinite mode may be slightly worse for pure snowflake farming, but it is far better for total material efficiency.

Best Crates to Open During the Winter Event

There are several Winter crates, and they are not all equal.

Shiny Winter Crate (Best for Rerolls)

• Best source of shard locks
• Only crate with premium rerolls
• Very expensive, but extremely valuable

Blizzard and Flurry Winter Crates

• Contain skins and Winter Soul Fragments
• More affordable
• Good balance between rewards and cost

Snowflake and Snow Winter Crates

• Better cosmetic rewards
• Useful if you are skin hunting

If your main goal is progression, prioritize:

1. Capsules
2. Shiny Winter Crates (for rerolls)
3. Blizzard Winter Crates (for soul fragments)

Crates are good, but capsules give more consistent long-term value unless you are targeting specific skins.

Capsules vs Crates: Which Is Better?

Capsules are still one of the best ways to spend Frost Shop currency.

• They help complete unit collections
• Random units can become meta later
• They do not consume large amounts of crafting materials

If you are low on materials, capsules are safer than crates. Only grind crates heavily if you want skins or reroll items.

The Anime Last Stand Winter event offers some of the best rewards the game has seen so far, especially for players willing to grind smart. While the system may look complicated at first, focusing on Infinite Mode, Snowman crafting, and key souls will massively boost your progress. With the right setup, farming becomes faster, macros become more stable, and future updates will be much easier to handle.
