The main differences between the Korea-inspired TDF and other technologically advanced factions are how each side employs their forces and use of military technologies. They are versatile, more specialized and more direct to their units having multiple uses.

Mutant Horde

 * Main article: Mutant Horde

The Mutant Horde is a genetically mutated faction in both worlds. Before merging into this faction, humanity became mutated as a result of radiation and mutation on Earth, including somewhere in Animatopia. While nowhere near as technologically advanced as the ADA and other technologically superior factions, they have learned to possibly rely and utilize the power of mutation, attrition warfare, chemical warfare, hit-and-run tactics, outdated arsenal of military weapons, vehicles, aircraft and vessels, bribery, unconventional, underhanded and sneaky tactics, high mobility, and other mutated creatures like eagles, dire wolves and scorpions in order to add the strength of their military doctrine, and fight their enemies.

Irregular-Maverick Confederation

 * Main article: Irregular-Maverick Confederation

Being a technologically disadvantaged faction and restored to thievery, brutality, uprising and deceit, the Irregular-Maverick Confederation (الاتحاد غير النظامي المنشق/არარეგულარული-მავერიკის კონფედერაცია/Конфедерация Нерегулярных Индивидуалистов/Konfederacja Nieregularnych Indywidualistów/Onreëlmatige-Maverick Konfederasie) has comparatively weak but highly mobile ground units, and limited air power, prompting the usages of improvised, looted and stolen military arsenal, stealth, radiological warfare, black market ties and guerrilla warfare like mining, ambushing, hijacking, hit-and-run tactics, using salvaged vehicles for their own weapons, unconventional warfare, and all kinds of devious subterfuge, most notably dirty bombs, against their enemies, including the necromancy of the Cult of the Undead, robotic warfare of the Robotoids, superior firepower of the PDF, high-tech tactics of the ADA, magi-tech arsenal of the DoA and defense-oriented technology of the RSSDF.

Kaijin Gundan

 * Main article: Kaijin Gundan

From the depths of earth and the dimensional transportation of the Isekai Machine, the Kaijin Gundan (怪人軍団) arose to oppose the hegemony of the State of Japan, under the control of the Rising Sun Self-Defense Force, and is bent to make its civilization in order to conquer the world. Its membership consists of the mysterious and strange beings known as Kaijin, kaiju, private military contractors, and various underground, militant, paramilitary, and mutant organizations. In order to defeat various enemies as a military force, it specializes the militarization of Kaijin and kaiju, advanced technology, mutation, hit-and-run tactics, powerful arsenal of military weapons, vast wealth, incendiary weaponry, biological warfare, irregular tactics, atomic weapons and radiological weaponry.

Militant Insurgents

 * Main article: Militant Insurgents

Being technologically disadvantaged, the Militant Insurgents (المتمردون المسلحون) has comparatively weak (though highly mobile) ground vehicles and cheap aircraft, prompting the use of guerrilla tactics such as tunneling, suicide bombing, hijacking, ambushing, and even using salvaged enemies in order to own weapons against them. This faction has a larger array of infantry types and vehicles to make up for this disadvantage, and has the widest range of stealth options. The Militant Insurgents also have a very powerful economy, with various resource-gathering techniques such as salvaging wreckage, gaining cash bounties on destroyed enemy units, and building multiple "black market" structures to bring in large amounts of money over time. In addition to that, the Militant Insurgents are unique in that they have no energy requirement for any of their structures or units. The upgrades of the Militant Insurgents make it more powerful when fully equipped, transforming a relatively weak group of units into a more respectable threat. The MI is also unique in that its structures retain two stages of integrity. Stage one is the functional stage where the building acts normally compared to its counterparts. The building reaches stage two when it would have conventionally been destroyed. In the remains of the building there is a "hole". Overtime, the hole will regenerate health and at 100%, the destroyed building will respawn, as in return to stage one. This special ability makes it difficult to permanently damage the MI with many single-shot weapons or units. Their toxic weapons, strong suicide units, and stealth and surprise abilities enable it to hit enemies from unexpected directions, and its powerful economy, combined with cheap, fast units, enables it to flood opponents with sheer numbers. Their primary disadvantage is that, in terms of firepower and durability, its units are outmatched by units of different factions, and it has a limited amount of air power.
