Just jumped into the game or thinking about starting? You’re in the right place. Anime Saga on Roblox isn’t your typical tower defense game, this one’s all about action, real-time battles, and leveling up your squad of awesome anime characters.
Whether you want to crush waves of enemies, unlock powerful mythics, or just get started with the basics, my guide covers everything you need to know as a beginner. I’ll also toss in some quick tips to speed up your progress.
Complete Beginners Guide (Everything You Need To Get Started)
So, what kind of game is Anime Saga exactly? It’s not your typical tower defense game. Instead of placing towers and waiting for waves, you control actual characters with unique moves in real-time battles.
Think of it as a dungeon crawler meets action RPG where your skills and strategy directly influence the fight. You’ll face waves of enemies and bosses, switching between characters, using abilities, and upgrading your team as you go.
Getting Started in Anime Saga
When you first hop in, you’ll get to summon 4 characters right off the bat, and yep, you’ll be controlling them directly in battle. No grids, no waiting around. You’re right in the middle of the action, swapping between characters and pulling off their moves yourself. Honestly, it felt more like an anime brawler than any tower defense game I’ve played on Roblox.
Tip: When you enter the game, you’ll start in the Summon Area. Most NPCs here don’t have names, but the first important NPC you want to find is behind the Rerolls (in the corner). You can find the NPC with lightning effects, holding a staff, standing under a tree near the leaderboards. This NPC is key because it lets you redeem codes for free gems and rewards.
Here are some useful codes to try:
- sorryforshutdown — 500 gems
- sorryfordelay — gems and goodies
- release — gems and rewards
Together, these can give you around 3,000 gems total. Make sure to talk to the Codes NPC and redeem any codes you find!
Summoning Units & Rates
You can summon more units from banners. Units on the banner front (like Gohan, Okorun, or Mochi) have better chances. Some details:
- Mythical units require level 15 to summon.
- Mythicals have a 0.1% chance (or 1% for banner spotlight).
- Legendaries have about a 5% chance.
Check the index to see all units and their summon rates.
How to Get a Mythic Character
As mentioned above, you need to reach level 15 to unlock the ability to summon mythics, the cream of the crop. The fastest way to hit level 15? Play story mode and complete quests.
Gems & Gold: Your Best Friends
Gems are used to summon units, and gold helps evolve and upgrade them. Here’s how to get a steady supply:
- Play Story Mode: Each milestone level (5, 10, 15, etc.) rewards gems and rerolls.
- Daily & Weekly Quests: Keep these up and you’ll rake in gems regularly. These quests do not auto-claim, so you need to manually go in and claim your rewards for gems, coins, and other goodies.
- Infinite Mode: Unlocks at level 15 and rewards gems for clearing waves.
- Kadakuri NPC: Claim your level rewards here, like gems, rerolls, and gold.
- AFK Chamber: Earn gems and traits even while you’re idle!
Gold Shop (EXP Items & Evolution Materials)
On the left side of the Summon Area is the Gold Shop, where you can buy:
- EXP items (to level up your units)
- Evolution materials (used to evolve units)
To level up a unit, go to the unit and click Feed, then select XP items. You can get XP items from the shop or as drops from story mode.
Understanding Stats, Traits & Rerolls
Each character has stats like damage, cooldown, and HP. Cooldown is especially important, it lets you spam abilities faster! Traits boost things like damage or movement speed. Always aim for mythic or legendary traits (anything above blue) when rerolling.
Quick tip: Use rerolls wisely. Blue spells reroll one stat, while red mythic spells reroll all. Don’t waste rerolls if you already have a great trait!
Evolving Your Characters & Mythic Characters
To evolve units, interact with the Hourglass. Evolution makes your units stronger and can unlock new abilities. Talk to Buu for details on what materials are needed to evolve your units. You’ll need special items and some gold, which you can get from the Gold Shop or grinding in different game modes.
Only mythics can evolve right now. You’ll need special evolution materials that come from story mode or the gold shop, plus gold. The shop’s your best friend for grabbing evolution items and XP packs to feed your units.
Combat & Gameplay Tips
- You have infinite lives, but every death subtracts 30 seconds from your timer, so avoid dying.
- Use healing buckets and group enemies before unleashing AoE moves.
- There’s no block button; instead, dodge attacks by pressing Q.
- Watch out for red circles, those signal incoming attacks you need to avoid.
- Manage your SP (skill points); dashing and abilities cost SP, so save it for when you really need it.
- Switch characters on the fly by pressing E, you can have up to 3 characters in your slot (third unlocks at level 20 or 25).
- Bosses kneel during some phases, that’s your window to deal heavy damage!
Game Modes & Progression
- Story Mode: Your bread and butter for leveling up and rewards.
- Infinite Mode: Unlocked at level 15, great for grinding gems.
- Raids: Unlock at level 25, where you can buy rare units and spells with Raid Tickets.
- AFK Chamber: Passive resource farming while you’re away.
Recommended Beginner Units
The meta changes often, so the “best” units fluctuate. However:
- Sasuke (Epic) is solid for beginners and especially useful for the Naruto-themed map.
- Legendary units like Katakuri are powerful but may be nerfed or hard to get early on.
Wrap-Up
Anime Saga offers a fresh take on Roblox anime games with real-time action and tons of depth. Focus on leveling up quickly in story mode, snagging the best traits and stats on your characters, and always remember to claim your daily quests and codes for free gems.
Playing with friends makes grinding way less of a chore and way more fun, so team up whenever you can. Keep evolving those mythics, master your combat skills, and before you know it, you’ll be dominating every dungeon and boss fight. Good luck out there, and enjoy the saga!
