Anime Zero Beginner Guide

Redeem codes → claim group rewards → roll a Legendary → fill both slots → first skill token → Story clear

Step 1: Claim everything free first

Your starting rolls and currency decide how strong your first build is, so collect everything the game hands out before spending a single spin. Redeem every working code — the launch batch alone pays Lucky Spins, Trait Rerolls, Coins and Gems. Then join the official LY* Roblox group and talk to the NPC Bob at the food truck to claim the group reward: 500 Gems, 5,000 Coins and 10 Lucky Spins.

Step 2: Roll until you have a Legendary

Head to the Arsenal and spend your spins. You won't have many at first, so aim for at least one Legendary (8.89%) rather than chasing the rarest pull — Legendary is enough power to start clearing content. With the current code haul you will likely go further: the pity system guarantees a Mythic at 175 spins, and codes like 50KCCU (500 Lucky Spins) blow past that. Rarity does not equal comfort — test attack speed, ability range and the ultimate before committing resources. See the tier list for which rolls to keep.

Step 3: Fill both weapon slots

Equip a weapon in each of your two slots before entering a dungeon. During a run you can switch with T — using one weapon's crowd control before dealing damage with the other. Switching grants +20% damage for 4 seconds, so time swaps for boss windows. Any two weapons give +5% damage; named pairs give more (see synergies).

Step 4: Spend your first skill token on damage

Every weapon has its own skill tree covering Attack, Critical chance, Defense and Speed. You start with one token: spend it on the damage node for an immediate +15% damage before your first run. Later nodes cost progressively more. Prioritize damage and crit; move points into defense only if you keep dying — staying alive long enough to deal damage matters more than raw numbers while learning.

Step 5: Set a working enchant or trait

Visit the Enchanter (Matilda) to roll traits — passive stat bonuses. Early on, aim for Power (flat damage). Do not burn all your currency chasing a perfect roll in your first minutes; one useful damage trait is enough to start. As resources build, hunt Supernova, Hunter and Deadeye — see the trait reroll guide for the systematic approach.

Step 6: Clear Story mode on Easy

Story is the controlled setting to learn the game: acts grow harder chapter by chapter, each ends on an act boss, and clears reward crafting materials. Pick Easy while learning the map, then climb. Combat rewards positioning over button-mashing — dash constantly, spam abilities (no mana system), learn your weapon's combo pattern, and respect boss attack animations. A full run breaks into zones: clear the waves, move to the next zone, face the boss.

After your first clear

Spend rewards between runs, not during: claim run and milestone rewards, put skill tokens into your problem stat, craft an accessory that covers a weakness, and bank Trait Rerolls for a targeted hunt. Then start Nightmare Story repeats for evolution materials — the evolution guide lists every bill. Save spins from new codes toward the pity thresholds: Mythic 175, Arcane 350, Lyth 3,500.
