If you just started Anime Tactical Simulator, the game can feel confusing at first because there are many systems like raids, traits, cards, towers, and evolutions. Progressing efficiently early will save you a lot of time later.
This guide explains the best way for beginners to start, farm gems, upgrade units, and progress through worlds quickly.
Start in Planet Namek and Follow the Main Quest
When you first join the game, immediately go to the first world: Planet Namek.
Your first task is to talk to Goku and accept the world quest.
Quests are important because they give:
- Gems
- Progression rewards
- Unlocks for new content
Completing world quests will naturally guide you through the early stages of the game while teaching you the basic mechanics.
Units and Combat
Units are the core of Anime Tactical Simulator.
When you summon units:
- They automatically attack enemies
- Each unit has a meter above their head
- When the meter fills, they perform a special ability
Because of this system, strong units matter more than almost anything else in the game.
You obtain units by opening card packs, similar to summoning systems in other anime Roblox games.
Important notes:
- Mythical units have a pity system
- Secret units do not have pity
- Duplicates are extremely valuable later for upgrades
Collect Dragon Balls for Shenron Wishes
Dragon Balls can appear across different areas of the game.
Once you collect all seven, you can summon Shenron and choose a wish.
Possible wishes include:
- Power (grants a new character)
- Passives (temporary damage buff)
- Cards (extra card pack)
- Luck (+1 permanent luck)
For beginners, the Luck wish is usually the best option, since permanent luck increases your chances of obtaining better units.
Farm Gems Using Tower Mode
Tower mode is one of the best gem farming methods in the game.
Each floor contains:
- Several enemies
- One boss
Rewards include:
- 50 gems per floor
- 500 gems every 5 floors
- Luck potions at milestone floors
For example:
- Floor 5 → 500 gems
- Floor 10 → 500 gems
- Floor 15 → 500 gems
Tower mode becomes difficult quickly, but the gem rewards make it worth pushing as far as possible.
Play Raids for Accessories and Tokens
Raids are one of the most important grinding activities.
They provide rewards such as:
- Accessories
- Trait reroll tokens
- Dragon Ball items
- Currency
Each world has its own raid with unique drops.
Higher difficulties like Hard and Nightmare offer better rewards, including rare accessories.
Upgrade Units Using the Laboratory
The Laboratory system allows you to evolve your units.
Units can gain stars that increase their damage significantly.
How it works:
- Sacrifice duplicate units
- Convert them into souls
- Use souls to upgrade your main unit
Example upgrade bonuses:
- 1 star → +25% damage
- 2 stars → +75% damage
- 3 stars → +100% damage total
Because of this system, duplicates are extremely valuable.
Never waste them early.
Use the Alucard Spin Every 30 Minutes
There is a special spin machine that gives one free spin every 30 minutes.
Possible rewards include:
- Potions
- Rare artifacts
- Alucard character
Even if you don’t get rare rewards, the potions are still useful.
Make sure to spin whenever it becomes available.
Complete Achievements for Huge Bonuses
Achievements provide some of the best permanent upgrades in the game.
Examples include:
Raid Achievements
- Damage bonuses
- Gems (up to 1000 per raid)
Tower Achievements
- Extra card slots
- Movement medals
Defeat Achievements
- Permanent damage boosts
Completing achievements significantly improves your account over time.
Upgrade Attack Range First
Movement medals from achievements can be spent on upgrades.
You can improve:
- Sprint speed
- Backpack capacity
- Attack range
The best upgrade is attack range.
Increasing range expands the circle around your character where units automatically attack enemies.
Larger range means:
- Faster farming
- Less movement required
- More efficient grinding
Farm Devil Fruits for Team Damage
The game also includes a Devil Fruit gacha system.
Devil fruits provide passive bonuses for your entire team.
The best ones can give up to 30% extra damage.
You obtain fruit tokens by:
- Defeating enemies
- Completing raids
Even a 10% team damage increase can make a big difference early in the game.
Farm Traits From Raid Tokens
Traits are extremely powerful buffs for units.
To roll traits, you must use raid medals from specific worlds.
Example:
- Dragon Ball raid tokens can only roll traits on Dragon Ball characters
- Shadow raid tokens work for Solo Leveling characters
There are also premium medals, which work on any unit.
Strong traits can massively increase damage and are one of the main late-game progression systems.
Farm Percentage Units Early
One of the fastest ways to progress is by getting percentage-based units.
These units deal damage based on the strength of your strongest character.
Examples include certain exclusive or event units.
This allows them to stay strong even when your team changes.
Focus on building one extremely strong unit, then support it with percentage units.
Secret and Endgame Units
Some of the strongest characters require heavy grinding.
Examples include:
Kokushibo and Yorichi
- 1% drop chance
- Located in Demon Slayer world dungeon
- Bosses have 10 million HP
Igros
- One of the strongest units
- 0.5% drop chance in final raid
- Guaranteed after completing 120 dungeon clears
These units are part of the endgame grind.
Best Gamepasses for Beginners
If you decide to buy gamepasses using gems, the best ones are:
- Extra Card Opens
- Extra Units Equipped
- Card Access (Open cards while doing other activities)
Card Access is especially useful because you can farm raids while opening cards at the same time.
Beginner Progression Strategy
The fastest early progression usually looks like this:
- Complete world quests
- Summon units and build a strong team
- Push Tower mode for gems
- Farm raids for accessories and tokens
- Upgrade units using Laboratory stars
- Roll traits for stronger characters
Following this path will help you reach the later worlds much faster.
