## Notes

**Shadow Garden** is the second of three Raid Mode arenas in Anime Apocalypse, themed after the **Cid Kagenou / Shadow Garden organization** from *The Eminence in Shadow*. The map is named in the official **Trello "About Raid" card** (`w3KsrWKJ`) — making the map name itself Tier 1 / Discord-attested.

**Mode pairing**: Raid only. Shadow Garden is not in the rotation for Survival, Infinite, or Titan Defense modes per the Trello roster.

**IP tie-in**: This map's theming directly references the Cid Kagenou organization in *The Eminence in Shadow*, consistent with other anime-IP-named content in the game (Spin / SBR, Head of Hei / Darker Than Black, Saiyan / DBZ, Pride / FMA, etc.).

**Reward economy**: Raid completions drop **Raid Coins** spent at the **Raid Shop**. The exact drop rates and the specific boss roster for the Shadow Garden arena are **not enumerated** in any current source — both Trello and aggregator coverage describe Raid Mode at the system level rather than per-arena.

**Recommended build**: The site's [Reaper Burst Build](/modes/raid/) (Spin · Head of Hei · Akaza · Coyote with Reaper trait, Battle Suit + Rage gadget) is the recommended Raid Mode loadout for all three raid arenas including Shadow Garden.

**Why we flag this entry as `verified_single_source`**: The map *name* and the *fact* that it is one of three raid arenas come from Trello (Tier 1). Aggregator coverage of Shadow Garden as a standalone arena is currently absent — none of Beebom, PGG, BloxInsider, FFBooyah, or AllThings.how name the three arenas individually. The arena will be promoted to `verified` once a second source surfaces concrete details on the boss roster or unlock gate.
