Setup guide

From zero to a farming loop in about two minutes. No Python, no account needed for the free tier.

1

Download & unzip

Grab the free Horus.zip from the Discord and unzip the whole folder anywhere.

2

Run Horus.exe

Double-click Horus.exe. No install, no Python — the app opens straight away.

3

Open the game

Launch Anime Expeditions in windowed mode and get to a stage you want to farm. Horus sizes the window to one standard automatically — you'll see it snap into place with the Horus frame around it. That's what makes one recording work on every PC.

4

Record once

On the RECORD tab, name it, hit Start Recording, and play your setup. Press F7 to stop — it saves a layout. Works the same in Expeditions: Horus detects the mode by itself, and on playback it places your units before the ship takes off and handles the checkpoints for you.

5

Play it back

Switch to PLAY, pick your layout, press START (F8). It runs the stage exactly as you did.

6

Go unattended (Premium)

Subscribe, then paste the key from your Discord DM into Horus once — it saves. Horus attaches from the Victory/Defeat screen (or mid-wave: open Settings and it taps Restart for you) and loops forever, claiming rewards between runs.

Farming Expeditions? Turn Auto Upgrading ON first. In the game's Unit Manager, the master Auto Upgrading switch at the top has to be Active. Here's why: an expedition room gives you a set amount of yen to start with, and if your recording puts down more units than that covers, the game buys them in order and stops at the first one it can't afford — every unit after it is silently dropped. Horus notices and places those units for you a little later, once the fight has paid out, but a unit that arrives late can only be levelled by the game itself. With the switch off, those units never level and the run quietly underperforms. Per-unit Auto Upgrade still works per-unit — the master switch just has to be on for any of it to apply. The trade-off: hand-levelling a specific unit at a specific moment is only dependable for the units the room could afford up front, so keep your placement list within the starting yen, or place your hand-tuned units first — the game always drops from the back of the list.
It's not clicking the buttons? Hit “Fix detection” on the screen with the problem button — the Victory/Defeat screen, the Start Game vote screen, or mid-battle — and it re-learns those buttons from your exact screen. Run the game windowed (Horus can't auto-size a fullscreen game) at minimum graphics on weaker PCs.
Weak or laggy PC? Recognition needs the game to render smoothly — a very old or heavily lagging machine can drop frames faster than any screen-reader can follow. The free version uses the same detection as Premium, so run it first to confirm Horus keeps up on your hardware before subscribing. Full help lives in #support.
