What’s New in Valentine Update 84?
The main highlights of this update include:
- New Valentine units (including evolutions of older Valentine characters)
- Limited-time Valentine banner
- New event currency: Candy Hearts
- A brand-new Macro Mode
- Valentine-themed skins
While several units were added, many players are mainly targeting characters like Maki, Uta, and Boa Hancock due to their potential value in late-game content. However, the real focus of this update is not the units themselves — it’s the new Macro Mode.
Valentine Macro Mode Explained
The event revolves around a limited stage that lasts around 35 waves.
How It Works
- Clear waves of enemies
- Every few waves, you select cards
- Cards can increase rewards or apply debuffs
- Finish the stage to earn Candy Hearts
The stage is relatively easy, especially with strong meta units. Many players are able to auto-upgrade and clear it quickly.
Event Currency
- 10,000 Candy Hearts = 1 summon
- 200 pity for featured unit
On average:
- 1 run takes around 2–3 minutes
- A single run gives roughly 20,000–25,000 Candy Hearts
This means you get about 2 summons per run.
To reach full pity (200 summons), expect several hours of grinding.
Is the Grind Worth It?
Reaching pity can take around 3–4 hours of consistent farming, depending on your buffs. If you:
- Don’t have currency boost pass
- Don’t macro the stage
- Or lack strong farming units
It will take even longer. Because of this, many players are selective about which unit they are chasing. If you don’t specifically want the featured Valentine units, it may not be worth full pity grinding.
New Units in Update 84
This banner includes:
- Valentine evolutions of older units
- Featured characters like Maki and Uta
- Boa Hancock (Valentine version)
Some of these units require special evolution materials such as the Love Fruit, which is obtained from Love Trials. Before investing fully, make sure you:
- Check evolution requirements
- Confirm you can farm required materials
- Ensure the unit fits your current team
There is always a risk that future updates introduce stronger units, so manage your resources carefully.
Tips to Farm Candy Hearts Faster
Here are some quick strategies:
- Choose reward-boosting cards instead of debuffs when possible.
- Use strong solo carry units to speed clear waves.
- Enable auto-upgrade to reduce manual effort.
- Use macro setups if allowed to farm longer sessions.
- Claim event quests for bonus Candy Hearts.
Efficient farming is the key to making this event manageable.

Valentine Update 84 in Anime Last Stand delivers a new grind-heavy event mode with exclusive units and themed content. The gameplay itself is simple and easy to farm, but the summon cost and pity requirement make it a time investment. If you are targeting specific units like Maki, Uta, or Boa Hancock, this event might be worth your time. Otherwise, it may be smarter to save resources for future updates. As always, plan your grind wisely, check evolution materials before summoning, and decide whether the investment fits your long-term strategy.
