Anime Overload Beginner Guide โ Start Strong From Day 1 (2026)
Just started Anime Overload on Roblox? Welcome to the definitive beginner guide on animeoverload.wiki. This page walks you through everything you need to know in your first hours of play โ from your first summon at the Kishke altar to building a team strong enough to clear Campaign stages and attempt your first Raid. Anime Overload has more depth than it appears at first glance, and knowing the right priorities from day one will save you weeks of wasted Crystals and Reroll Tickets.
Anime Overload was developed by Hi-Fun Interactive and released in Early Access on March 19, 2026. It is a free-to-play tower defense game on Roblox where you summon anime-inspired heroes to defend against waves of enemies. The game features Campaign stages, Raids, Infinite Mode, a Battlepass, Guild systems, and a robust Trait upgrade system. This guide focuses on the first 5โ10 hours of gameplay.
๐ Step-by-Step Beginner Walkthrough
Step 1 โ Redeem All Active Codes Immediately
Before doing anything else, redeem all active codes. Go to the ๐ News / Code button on the left panel. Enter: HappyEarlyAccess (25 Trait Rerolls + 10 Pure Stars), sorry4delay (100 Rerolls + 5,000 Crystals), GAMEWATCH21ISSIGMA (5,000 Gold + 5 Reroll Tickets), RELEASE (100 Crystal Shards). This gives you a massive head start โ 5,000+ Crystals means multiple pulls at the Kishke altar right away.
Step 2 โ Perform Your First Summons
Head to the Kishke summoning altar in the main hub. Use your Crystals to pull units. Do 10x multi-pulls for efficiency. Your goal is to land at least one S-tier or higher unit before starting Campaign stages. If you get Strongest Alien, Sukuna, or Gojo Unlimited, you are in excellent shape. If not, you can still progress with SS or S-tier units โ they are strong enough for early and mid-game content.
Step 3 โ Complete Tutorial & First Campaign Stages
Complete the tutorial to unlock the full UI and collect tutorial rewards. Then start Stage 1-1 of the Campaign. Early stages are easy and serve as onboarding. Complete each stage on Normal difficulty first to unlock Hard and Nightmare variants. Nightmare difficulty gives the best loot but requires strong units โ do not rush it.
Step 4 โ Assign Traits to Your Best Units
Open your unit collection and check the trait on your best unit. If it is Common, use some of your Trait Reroll Tickets to improve it. Aim for Blazing, Spectral, or Overloaded. Do not spend all 125 tickets at once โ save at least 50 for future units you pull.
Step 5 โ Build Your First Team Comp
Your first viable team should include: 1 high-DPS unit (whatever SSS/SS/S unit you pulled), 1 Escanor (Farm โ unlocked from Gold Shop or pull), 1 Susano Indra (Support โ unlocked from Gold Shop or pull), and 1 secondary DPS filler. If you do not have Escanor or Susano yet, use whatever high-DPS units you have. The farm + support combo becomes critical in Wave 10+ stages.
Step 6 โ Complete Daily Quests Every Day
Daily Quests are your primary source of free Crystals and Reroll Tickets outside of codes. Open the Quest panel and complete all daily quests before logging off each session. Weekly quests give larger rewards โ prioritize those that align with content you are already playing (Campaign clears, Raid participations).
Step 7 โ Attempt Your First Raid
Raids become available after you reach a certain Campaign milestone. They are multiplayer boss fights with up to 4 players. Your first Raid can be attempted with an S-tier team โ you do not need SSS units to participate, but you may not contribute much DPS. Participating still grants rewards including Crystals and Reroll Tickets.
Step 8 โ Upgrade Your Core Units
Once you have your core team established (main DPS + Susano Indra + Escanor), start investing Pure Stars. Upgrade your main DPS unit to Level 5 first, then Susano Indra to Level 5, then push your main DPS to Level 9. Do not split Pure Stars across many units โ concentration wins.
โ Top Beginner Mistakes to Avoid
- โ Spending Crystals on single pulls instead of 10x multi-pulls โ multi-pulls are significantly more efficient.
- โ Rerolling traits on C or B-tier units โ save every Reroll Ticket for SSS/SS units.
- โ Upgrading too many units simultaneously โ focus Pure Stars on 2โ3 core units only.
- โ Ignoring Escanor โ Farm units generate the Gold needed to buy units from the Gold Shop. Without Escanor in early waves, you fall behind on economy.
- โ Skipping daily Quests โ each session without Quest completion is free Crystals left on the table.
- โ Rushing Nightmare difficulty without S-tier+ units โ Nightmare enemies have significantly higher HP and movement speed.
- โ Not joining a Guild โ Guilds provide passive resource bonuses and Guild-exclusive events.
๐ก How to Farm Resources Efficiently
Crystal farming is the backbone of progress in Anime Overload. The three most efficient Crystal sources are: (1) Daily and Weekly Quests โ complete every day, (2) Campaign Hard/Nightmare completions โ each new stage cleared rewards a one-time Crystal bonus, (3) Infinite Mode milestone waves โ reaching Wave 25, 50, 75, 100 grants Crystal rewards.
Gold farming is handled by Escanor. Place him early in every map and he generates passive Gold income throughout the wave. Use Gold to buy units from the rotating Gold Shop and to upgrade your hub buildings (which improve resource generation rates).
Pure Stars for unit upgrades are obtained from codes, Campaign loot drops, and Raid rewards. They are the rarest upgrade resource, so never waste them on units below S-tier.

โ Anime Overload Beginner FAQ
โ What should I do first in Anime Overload?
Redeem all active codes first โ this gives you 5,000+ free Crystals and 125+ Reroll Tickets. Then use those Crystals to pull at the Kishke summoning altar before starting Campaign stages.
โ How do I get stronger fast in Anime Overload?
Focus on 3 things: pull a strong unit (SSS or SS tier), get a good trait (Blazing or better) on that unit, and upgrade it to Level 7+. This combination will carry you through most early and mid-game content.
โ Do I need to spend Robux to progress in Anime Overload?
No. Anime Overload is genuinely free-to-play. Paid options (Robux bundles) provide cosmetics and small boosts, but all competitive content is achievable with free resources from Quests, codes, and gameplay.
โ What is the best starter unit in Anime Overload?
If you pull Strongest Alien from summons, keep it as your main DPS. If not, Death Surgeon Operation is a reliable S-tier unit that can be obtained without excessive grinding and carries you through mid-game comfortably.
โ When should I start doing Raids?
Attempt your first Raid once you have at least 2 units at S-tier or higher with decent traits. You do not need to be optimized โ Raids are multiplayer and teammates compensate for weaker builds.
โ How many units should I focus on early game?
Keep your team to 4 core units maximum: 1 SSS/SS main DPS, 1 secondary DPS, 1 Susano Indra support, 1 Escanor farm. Spreading resources across more than 4 units slows your progression significantly.
โ Is there a reroll system at the start of the game?
Yes โ when you first start, you can use your initial free Crystals from the tutorial and codes to perform summons. If you are unhappy with your starter pulls, you can create a new account and repeat (common in gacha games). However, with 5,000 free Crystals from codes, most players get at least one strong unit.
