Anime Squadron FAQ
Sorted by what you most likely want to know first, from the basics (is it free, who made it) to specifics on units, Traits, pull rates, and troubleshooting. Answers link out to the relevant detail pages where applicable.
Is the game free to play?
Yes, completely free. Downloading, pulling on Banners, and progressing through stages all cost nothing. There are optional Robux gamepasses (premium upgrades), the most commonly mentioned being 3x Speed (499 Robux), which speeds up the pace of each run, but it is not required to clear any content. Free-to-play players can complete all PvE content without spending. (Note: during Early Access there was reportedly a gate that required either roughly 12 hours of AFK grinding or ~399 Robux to bypass, this comes from a single source and it is unconfirmed whether it still exists in the full release.)
Who developed it? Is there an official Wiki or Trello?
The developer is Komplex Studio (Roblox group with around 200,000 members), led by Official_Bloonix (X: @BloonixDev). The game ran in Early Access from August 2025 and officially launched on June 13, 2026. Important: there is no official Trello and no official Fandom/Wiki, the only authoritative source is the official Discord (discord.gg/animesquadron, invite code XRQAZ28DMR). Any "wikis" you find online are community or SEO sites whose data can be inconsistent, always defer to in-game info and Discord announcements.
Who is the strongest unit?
The overall strongest is Gometa (SSJ4, a nod to Gogeta, the Goku/Vegeta fusion). Nearly every community tier list places it at the very top of SS, it stacks its own buffs, hits hard, and is tanky enough to carry endgame. The crucial catch: Gometa cannot be pulled from any Banner. It is obtained exclusively through evolution (evolve Goki to Full Power, complete the fusion quest, and farm Primal Core). For full rankings see the tier list; for unit details see units.
Which Trait is the best?
Superior, by a significant margin. A single Superior Trait gives +200% damage, +300% HP, +30% range, -15% cooldown, and +1 deploy slot, but it only has a 0.1% roll chance. Second choice is Cloner (duplicates a unit outright). Because Traits cannot be locked and rerolling overwrites the current one, stop immediately if you land Superior or Cloner. For the full breakdown of all 14 Traits and their rates, see the traits guide.
Who are the best Support / Economy / Tank / Boss-killer units?
Community consensus by role: Support = Shinks (homage to Shanks), damage-reduction aura plus evasion; Economy = Fastwagon, the only gold-generating unit in the game and nearly mandatory in every lineup; Tank = Shield Hero (homage to Naofumi), absorbs damage via damage transfer, though it eventually yields the frontline to Gometa/Shanron in endgame; Boss-killer = Madora (homage to Madara), sustained damage through burn and meteor effects. These role assignments are highly consistent across multiple tier lists, see the tier list for full rankings.
How do I get a specific unit?
There are two paths. Most units come from Banners: the Basic Banner (featured unit rotates hourly) and the Selection Banner (unlocked at level 10, lets you pin a specific Mythic and refreshes every 24 hours), both cost Gems. However, several of the strongest units cannot be pulled at all and are unlocked through progression, for example, Madora (Ninja Village Squadron act 4), Shanron (GT City Raid act 4), Shield Hero (battle pass), and Gometa (evolution). For each unit's specific acquisition route, see units.
What are the actual gacha rates?
Honestly, sources conflict, so treat the in-game Banner screen as the definitive reference. One set of figures puts Mythic at 0.05% base / 0.25% boosted, with a 250-pull pity; another claims Secret at 0.05%, Mythic at 0.5%, and a 50-pull pity. The two sets disagree on both the rates and the pity thresholds, and no source has published Legendary or Epic rates. The one thing broadly agreed upon is that the Banner Secret pity for a unit like Woo (Shadow) sits at a staggering 20,000 pulls. For a deeper breakdown of the pull mechanics, see mechanics.
What level do Infinite and Raids unlock?
No confirmed answer yet. Different sources give conflicting figures: one set says Raids unlock at level 15, Infinite at level 20; another says Infinite at level 15, Raids at level 25. The game only launched on June 13, so these thresholds have not been verified by multiple independent sources, go by whatever unlock prompt appears on your actual account. For an overview of each mode and recommended progression order, see game modes.
Is there PvP?
No confirmed PvP exists at this time. Some sources mention a vague reference to "ranks," but no actual player-versus-player system has been described in any meaningful detail. For now, treat all confirmed modes (Story / Squadron / Raids / Infinite) as PvE. If a future update adds PvP, it will be announced on the official Discord.
How do I redeem codes?
First complete the tutorial (the Codes button is locked until you finish it), then open the left-side menu → Codes (bird icon) → paste the code exactly → press Redeem. Codes are case-sensitive and the trailing
! is required; each code can only be used once per account, and some codes have a level requirement. For the current list of active and expired codes, visit codes, milestone codes during launch week expire fast, so check back regularly.What should I do if the game crashes or I can't join?
First figure out which side the problem is on. If a code gives an error, the code has most likely expired or you are on an old server, rejoin on a fresh server and try again. If the whole game won't load or is stuck, check the Roblox platform status first (the issue is usually platform-wide rather than specific to Anime Squadron), then check the official Discord for any maintenance or known-issue announcements, the team pushes frequent hotfixes in the early launch window. After maintenance periods the devs typically drop new codes as compensation, so check back at codes.
Why do the unit names look like misspellings?
It is intentional. Every unit in Anime Squadron uses a slightly altered name to pay homage to its anime inspiration while sidestepping copyright, for example, Gometa = Gogeta, Goki = Goku, Vegata = Vegeta, Shinks = Shanks, Madora = Madara, Shanron = Shenron, Karashi = Kakashi. Many guides "restore" these to the original character names, but they are referring to the same in-game units. This site uses the official in-game English names throughout, with the source character noted for reference, for the full reference list see units.
I'm a beginner, what should I do on day one?
One rule: redeem all available codes before you upgrade or spend anything. Launch-period codes load you up with Gems, Gold, Trait Shards, and various Cubes, spending first and claiming later wastes your starting resources. After that, prioritize pulling a strong Mythic as your core carry, get Fastwagon as early as possible, unlock the Selection Banner at level 10 to target specific Mythics, and funnel resources into one carry rather than spreading them thin. For the full early-game roadmap, see the beginner guide.
