Start Anime Crusaders without wasting resources

A six-step path that prioritizes coverage, steady progression, and reversible decisions before high-variance trait chasing.

1

Claim free resources

Redeem current codes first. Keep a note of level-gated codes and retry them after reaching the requirement.

2

Build coverage, not rarity

Equip affordable early damage plus ground and flying coverage before chasing an all-Mythic screenshot.

3

Clear Story deliberately

Unlock systems and materials while learning which bends and intersections give units the longest attack window.

4

Invest in one real carry

Choose a unit that fits several modes, then improve it without starving the rest of the roster.

5

Evolve with a plan

Confirm the live recipe and evolved kit before consuming rare materials or fodder.

6

Treat rerolls as late-stage variance

Keep a useful budget trait; chase ultra-rare rolls only after the roster foundation is secure.

Healthy early priorities

  • • One cheap unit that stabilizes the first waves.
  • • Reliable ground and flying coverage.
  • • A farm slot only when the stage is long enough to repay it.
  • • One evolved carry before several half-built projects.
  • • A small reroll reserve instead of constant impulse rolls.

Common resource traps

  • • Spending every gem on a banner without checking pity or rotation.
  • • Feeding a useful support or evolution material by mistake.
  • • Rerolling away a good budget trait with no reserve.
  • • Copying an Infinite team into a short Story stage.
  • • Assuming an old video reflects the current update.

Your first stable roster

Aim for six jobs: inexpensive opener, main carry, flying or hybrid coverage, support, boss answer, and a farm/control/flex slot chosen for the stage. A unit can cover multiple jobs; that flexibility is often more valuable than a slightly higher rank.
