Rose Kingdom Act 5

verified 2026-07-18 · Anime Expeditions maps

Rose Kingdom Act 5 is a Normal or Hard difficulty story stage in Anime Expeditions set in a coastal kingdom patrolled by toy soldiers and card-suited officers, running 15 waves built around Toy and Soldier enemies before String Demon closes out the stage, and paying 75 Gems and 75 Gold on Normal or 100 Gems and 100 Gold on Hard per clear.

Rose Kingdom Act 5 is the 5th story stage inside Rose Kingdom, a coastal kingdom patrolled by toy soldiers and card-suited officers. The act is built from 15 waves and roughly 300 total enemy spawns, opening with a manageable mix of 8x Toy, 8x Soldier and scaling up wave by wave until the final wave throws 11x Toy, 14x Soldier, 1x String Demon, 1x Senior Magenta (Elite) at the player's placed units. String Demon is the boss that caps the stage, and its health pool and aggression sit noticeably above the Basic and Elite spawns that lead up to it.

Along the way, watch for enemies carrying the Regen1, Reinforced, Momentum modifiers: Regen1 enemies slowly regenerate health over time; Reinforced enemies reduce all incoming damage by 30%; Momentum enemies grow steadily more dangerous the longer they survive, stacking a damage buff up to +50% over time. Compared to Rose Kingdom Act 4, this act keeps the same core wave shape but raises the difficulty by swapping in String Demon as the closing boss, making it the toughest clear in the zone.

Clearing Rose Kingdom Act 5 on Normal pays a flat 75 Gems, 75 Gold, 115 Player EXP, and 500 Unit EXP, while Hard raises that to 100 Gems, 100 Gold, 145 Player EXP, and 1000 Unit EXP for the same wave list. Both difficulties also drop a zone-exclusive food item on every clear (1 on Normal, 2 on Hard), and a first-time clear bonus on top of the standard reward applies the first time each difficulty is beaten. Clearing this act on Hard also opens a small chance (5%, with a 20-clear pity counter) at Orb, an equipment piece unique to Rose Kingdom that does not drop anywhere else. Since Hard pays roughly a third more currency for an identical wave layout, it is the better long-term farming target once a team can survive String Demon reliably; Normal remains the safer option for teams still gearing up.

Wave breakdown

Wave 1 opens with 8x Toy, 8x Soldier.

By the midpoint, wave 8 of 15 throws 10x Soldier, 9x Toy at the field.

The final wave caps the stage with 11x Toy, 14x Soldier, 1x String Demon, 1x Senior Magenta (Elite), with String Demon anchoring the push.

Farm efficiency

Rose Kingdom Act 5 pays the same flat reward on every clear regardless of how fast the wave list is cleared, so total Gem and Gold income per hour depends entirely on team clear speed and whether the stage is run on auto-replay. Hard is the stronger currency target since it pays roughly 33% more Gems and Gold than Normal for an identical wave list, and it is the only difficulty that can drop Orb. Players still building their roster should stick to Normal until their team can clear String Demon without losing units, since a failed Hard clear pays nothing.
