Prerequisites

Checked

Your first hour in Anime Zero determines whether you progress smoothly or waste valuable gacha currencies on temporary gear. Follow this stage-by-stage progression route to establish your account power quickly.

Stage 1: Lobby Setup & Code Redemption

When you first spawn into the main lobby:

  • Objective: Secure baseline starter currencies and spins without spending Robux.
  • Action: Open the in-game Codes window (remember to scroll down to reveal the input box) and redeem code 50KCCU to instantly receive 500 Lucky Spins, 350 Trait Rerolls, 250,000 Coins, and 5,000 Gems.
  • Success Signal: Your Coin balance exceeds 250,000 and your inventory shows hundreds of spins.
  • Common Stall: Entering codes in lowercase. All active codes require exact uppercase lettering.

Stage 2: Unlock the Second Weapon Slot (25,000 Coins)

Do not spend your starter coins on shop items before securing this critical account milestone:

  • Objective: Enable passive dual-weapon leveling.
  • Action: Walk to the Slot NPC in the central lobby plaza and purchase the Second Weapon Slot for 25,000 Coins.
  • Success Signal: Your inventory displays two active weapon loadout slots.
  • Strategy: Equip your main fighting blade in Slot 1 and your secondary training weapon in Slot 2. If your secondary weapon rolls the Fortune trait (+25% Coins, +20% XP), keep it locked—it passively boosts all earned experience while you fight!

Stage 3: Story Mode Clearing & Early Forge Crafting

Story mode is the most efficient solo activity for accumulating early account materials:

  • Objective: Push through Chapter 1 (Easy) and Chapter 2 (Normal) to level your primary weapon to Level 20.
  • Action: Group mobs into tight clusters using dash maneuvers, then unleash AoE skill rotations. Collect dropped Fine Cloth and Shinobi Scrolls to craft Gentleman’s Top Hat and Capsule Scarf at the Forge NPC.
  • Success Signal: Both equipped weapons gain levels, and your character equips 4 starter accessories.
  • Recovery If Stalled on Bosses: If a Story Chapter boss is dealing too much damage, do not face-tank during cooldowns. Dash backward into open space, wait for your cooldowns to reset, and kite the boss around arena pillars.

Stage 4: Trait Crystal Discipline (What to Save)

Managing your rare Trait Crystals properly prevents early progression softlocks:

  • Objective: Preserve rare rerolls for permanent endgame weapons.
  • Action: Keep utility rolls like Fortune on training weapons. Bank all remaining Trait Crystals in your inventory until you obtain a guaranteed Mythic (175 pulls) or Arcane (350 pulls) weapon from banner pity milestones.
  • Success Signal: Your inventory retains a healthy bank of Trait Crystals ready for your first Mythic weapon.
Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I spend Trait Crystals on my starter weapon?

Only keep utility traits like Fortune for faster leveling. Never burn crystals chasing 0.01% damage traits on temporary weapons.

How do I recover if I run out of coins?
