How to Get the Cursed Student Manga Skin SOLO in Anime Expeditions (Easy Guide)!

The Cursed Student Manga Skin is one of the newest free cosmetic rewards available in Anime Expeditions, and the good news is that you don’t need a full party to unlock it. While completing the event with teammates is easier, it’s entirely possible to clear it solo if you prepare the right team, choose the best expedition route, and use the correct strategy during the final boss fight. This guide explains everything you need to know, from the best units to bring to the optimal upgrade order and the boss mechanics that determine whether you successfully earn the skin.

Best Team for the Cursed Student Manga Skin Event

Before starting the event, make sure you have the proper team prepared. Although you can complete the event without every unit, bringing the recommended lineup makes the run significantly smoother. The ideal team consists of:

• Eighth Sword
• Cursed Student
• Puppet
• Hero

Eighth Sword serves as your primary damage dealer throughout the expedition. While it’s technically optional because you can purchase it during the event from Shop Stops, bringing your own copy allows you to begin upgrading immediately instead of relying on random shop availability.

Cursed Student is the core of this strategy because its attack-copying ability allows it to replicate a portion of your strongest unit’s damage. As your Eighth Sword becomes stronger, every Cursed Student benefits without requiring heavy investment. Puppet provides additional support and positioning utility, while Hero offers valuable buffs that help your team survive the later stages.

Can You Complete the Event Solo?

Yes, the event can be cleared solo.

However, a three-player group is still the easiest option since it gives your team access to more units, more damage, and greater overall safety during the expedition. Solo players simply need to pay much closer attention to expedition routes and be willing to restart if the generated map isn’t favorable. Fortunately, restarting early only costs a few minutes and can save an entire failed run later.

How to Start the True Love Event

Once your team is ready, open the Events menu and select the True Love Event. Enter the event stage and wait before moving your vehicle. Instead of immediately beginning the expedition, open the expedition map and inspect every possible route. This step is one of the most important parts of the entire strategy.

Choose the Best Expedition Route

Not every expedition map is worth playing. When selecting your path, prioritize routes with:

• As many Shop Stops as possible
• Plenty of Defense Stops
• The fewest Attack Stops available

Shop Stops are your highest priority because they allow you to purchase additional units during the expedition.

If you didn’t bring Eighth Sword into the event, Shops give you an opportunity to buy one. You may also find extra copies of Cursed Student, making your strategy considerably stronger.

Defense Stops are generally easier to manage and provide better progression, while excessive Attack Stops slow down the run and increase the chance of failing before reaching the boss.

If your first map generates a poor route, don’t hesitate to restart until you find a better layout.

Best Unit Placement

Once you’ve found a favorable route, it’s time to position your units correctly. If you already own Eighth Sword:

• Place Eighth Sword near the center of the vehicle.

If you don’t have Eighth Sword yet:

• Place Cursed Student in the center until you can purchase Eighth Sword from a Shop Stop.

Next:

• Position Puppet at the rear of the vehicle.
• Later, place Hero between Puppet and Eighth Sword.

This setup provides solid coverage around the vehicle while allowing your primary damage dealer to attack efficiently throughout the expedition.

Upgrade Priority

Your upgrades should follow a very specific order. Focus on:

• Eighth Sword first
• Hero second
• Everything else only when necessary

Hero only needs a few upgrades to provide its support abilities.

After that, nearly all of your resources should go into strengthening Eighth Sword.

Because Cursed Student copies a portion of Eighth Sword’s attacks and damage, investing heavily into your main damage dealer provides far more value than spreading upgrades across multiple units.

This allows every copied attack to hit much harder without wasting resources.

Continue Farming Through the Expedition

As you progress through each stop, continue defending the vehicle while following your chosen route. Whenever you reach a Shop Stop:

• Buy Eighth Sword if you still don’t own one.
• Purchase extra Cursed Students whenever possible.
• Skip unnecessary units to preserve your remaining currency.

Following this approach ensures you’ll have enough damage to handle the expedition’s final encounter.

How to Beat the Final Boss

The final boss introduces a mechanic that catches many players off guard.

• During the first half of the fight, leave every unit targeting normally.
• Continue attacking until the boss reaches approximately 50% HP.
• At that point, immediately switch every unit’s targeting to Weakest.

This step is essential:

• Once the boss reaches half health, it summons additional enemies while becoming immune to direct damage until those summons are defeated.
• If your units continue targeting the boss, they’ll waste valuable time attacking an invulnerable target.
• Changing every unit to Weakest forces your team to eliminate the summoned enemies first.
• Once the summons are gone, your units will resume damaging the boss, allowing you to finish the encounter.
• With a well-upgraded Eighth Sword and several Cursed Students copying its attacks, this phase becomes much easier to manage.

How to Claim the Cursed Student Manga Skin

After defeating the final boss, the event is complete. Return to the main lobby and follow these steps:

• Open the Events menu.
• Navigate to the True Love Event rewards.
• Claim the Cursed Student Manga Skin for free.

Remember that this is a limited-time event reward, so players should unlock it before the event ends. Limited skins often don’t return for future updates, making this an exclusive cosmetic worth collecting.

Although the Cursed Student Manga Skin is designed as a limited event reward, it’s surprisingly accessible even for solo players. The key is following an efficient expedition route, focusing your resources on Eighth Sword, and understanding the final boss’s summon mechanic. By maximizing Shop Stops, purchasing extra Cursed Students, and changing your targeting at the right moment, you can consistently complete the event without needing a full team.

If you’re planning to add this exclusive cosmetic to your collection, it’s best to complete the True Love Event as soon as possible before it rotates out, as limited-time rewards may not become available again in future Anime Expeditions updates.
