Introduction

The Guides hub is the fastest way to learn Anime Zero from the ground up. Whether you just spawned into the tutorial or you are looking to break into Nightmare raids, this category collects step-by-step walkthroughs, early-game resource plans and endgame progression routes in one place. Anime Zero is a dungeon crawler RPG where every major system connects: the weapons you roll decide the traits you should chase, the traits you land decide which enchants and accessories pay off, and the loadout you build decides how fast you can clear dungeon zones and raid bosses. New players usually struggle with resource pressure — Coins, Gems, Lucky Spins and Trait Rerolls all compete for your attention — so our guides begin with the highest-impact decisions: how to spend your first rolls, which weapon pairs work early, and what to save for the Shadow Monarch chase. Veterans use this section to benchmark AFK farm spots, compare dungeon XP rates and prep for the next update. Bookmark the beginner guide first, then follow the progression path that matches how much time you can grind.

Core Mechanics

The Anime Zero progression loop connects weapons, traits, enchants, accessories, dungeons and raids. You begin by rolling weapons in the summon menu: Normal Rolls give base weapons, while Lucky Rolls and Lucky Spins target higher rarities and banner units. You equip two weapons at once, so your loadout combines two move sets and playstyles. Between dungeon runs you spend Coins and Gems on weapon development — leveling, enchants and the Skill Tree — and you reroll traits with Trait Rerolls or Reroll Crystals when you want a different modifier. Dungeons are the main PvE activity: each one is split into zones of enemy waves, with a boss floor at the end and a reward payout on clear. As you level up you unlock harder dungeons, then team raids like Shadow Gate and Speed Raid, whose rare drops fund the evolution grind for units like the Shadow Monarch and Sung Jin-Woo. Every system feeds the next, so small choices early — which weapon to roll, which traits to keep, where to farm — compound into your endgame power.

Advantages

The biggest advantage of using the guides hub is that it turns a chaotic first session into a structured plan. Anime Zero throws a lot of systems at you quickly, and our beginner-first guides tell you exactly what to do in your first hour, what to spend Coins and Gems on, and which mistakes waste your rarest resources. The AFK farm and dungeon farming guides cut hours of trial and error by pointing you at the highest-yield floors for XP, coins and materials. Progression and meta guides help mid-game players make the leap from casual dungeon clears to raid-ready loadouts, while the endgame roadmap keeps veterans on a clear track toward Shadow Monarch and Sung Jin-Woo evolutions. Because every guide is grounded in the current patch, you are never following outdated advice. Whether you play for ten minutes a day or grind all weekend, having a route removes the guesswork and makes every session count.

Challenges

The main weakness of guide-driven play is that the meta changes fast in Anime Zero. A guide written for the previous patch can recommend weapons, traits or farming routes that no longer match the current balance, so you should always check the update date and cross-reference the tier list before following any advice. Guides also assume you have the resources or luck to follow the recommended path; a beginner without Lucky Rolls or meta pulls may need to improvise a budget route. For very new players, the sheer number of systems covered can feel overwhelming even in a well-structured guide — the best approach is to read one section at a time and apply it before moving on. Finally, community data drives many recommendations, and community-reported rates like the 3% Shadow Monarch drop are estimates that can shift with patches. Treat guides as a strong starting point, verify time-sensitive details in-game, and adapt when the balance changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do first in Anime Zero?+
Start by completing the tutorial, then spend your first rolls on weapons in the summon menu — Normal Rolls give base weapons while Lucky Rolls target higher rarities. Equip two weapons right away and match their playstyles, then follow the beginner priorities: spend Coins on weapon leveling, save Gems for banner pulls and unlock the Skill Tree early. Clear the starting dungeon to hit level 25 quickly, because that unlocks the SORRYFORDELAY code and puts you on the road to raids.
What should I spend Coins and Gems on?+
Coins are best spent on weapon development — leveling, enchants and Skill Tree upgrades — because those directly increase your power. Gems should mostly be saved for Lucky Spin banners and featured weapon pulls, since normal rolls are inefficient. Trait Rerolls are a precious resource, so spend them on your best S-tier or A-tier weapons instead of filler gear. The single biggest new-player mistake is burning Gems on normal rolls or rerolling traits on starter weapons you will replace.
How do I unlock raids?+
Raids unlock after you reach the level requirement and clear the required dungeon milestones. The exact gate is covered in the raids guide, but the practical path is: level through dungeons to 50, clear the endgame dungeon floors that unlock raid queuing, and gear up with at least A-tier weapons before queueing. Speed Raid is the easiest way to start practicing raid mechanics and earn tokens, while Shadow Gate requires a stronger loadout and group coordination.
What is the fastest way to level up?+
The fastest leveling route is farming the highest dungeon floor you can clear consistently and quickly. The starting dungeon is fine for the first few levels, but mid-game dungeons give dramatically more XP per run. If you can stay alive, the AFK farm spots in the guides category let you progress while doing other things. For the fastest active route, use a weapon with AoE wave clear and clear the speediest floor sequence you can complete without wiping.

Quick Tips

💡

Complete the tutorial and spend your first rolls immediately — an early weapon pull is worth more than a hoarded roll because every dungeon clear scales with your loadout. Equip two weapons that cover different jobs, like one wave-clear and one single-target killer, and keep both upgraded equally so you never hit a damage wall at the boss floor.

💡

Save Gems for Lucky Spin banners and featured weapon pulls instead of normal rolls — normal rolls give base weapons that you will outgrow, while a well-timed banner pull can define your whole mid-game. The biggest new-player waste is burning Gems on impulse pulls; set a budget and stick to it.

💡

Unlock the Skill Tree as soon as you can and keep spending upgrade points into your main weapon's key passives. The Skill Tree passives are some of the cheapest permanent power in the game, and an upgraded passive on an A-tier weapon often outperforms an unupgraded S-tier pull you cannot afford to build.

💡

Plan your levels around the code gates: hit level 25 to redeem SORRYFORDELAY and level 50 for NEWRAID. These level requirements turn your normal leveling progress into bonus rewards, and reaching 50 also unlocks the raid queue — the real endgame starts the moment you can queue for Speed Raid practice runs.
