Plan Your Launch Day
Release day can feel overwhelming with so much to do, so follow these steps to make the most of your first hours in Anime Origins, from your first summon to your first cleared stage. Our beginner guide covers the full early-game loop in detail.
Redeem launch codes such as GAMESPEED, THANKYOU!, and Release! on the codes page before you spend any gems. Then summon on the standard banner to build a balanced team, and focus on leveling a few strong units instead of spreading resources too thin.
Progress through Story Mode first, then try Raids once your team is ready. Each mode drops materials used for evolutions, and traits can be rerolled to boost your best units even further, so read the traits guide to understand the system.
Redeem Launch Codes
Open the codes page and redeem every active code such as GAMESPEED and Release! for free gems and boosts. Codes are case-sensitive, so copy them exactly from the codes page.
Summon Your First Units
Spend your early gems on the standard banner. Look for Mythic and Legendary units such as Goju or Itsoda, and check the meta units page to see which pulls are worth keeping.
Clear Your First Stages
Start with Story Mode to learn placement and upgrade basics, then move to Raids. Review the unit tier list to build a strong early team.
Evolve and Reroll Traits
Use materials from cleared stages to evolve units and unlock new abilities. Reroll traits to push your damage higher with help from the traits guide.
What Awaits at Release
Anime Origins launched with more content than most new tower defense games, and the team kept pushing updates after release. Here are the core systems you will interact with every session, starting with the beginner guide if you need a tour.
Every system connects: summoning gives you units, stages drop materials, materials unlock evolutions, and traits multiply your power. Learning how they link together is the fastest way to progress, so read the traits guide and the gems guide early to avoid common mistakes.
Summoning
Roll on the standard banner to obtain units from Epic to Secret rarity. Chase the secret units such as Valcrad or Cursed Lover for the biggest power spikes.
