Anime Astral Simulator Beginner Guide
A tight first-session checklist — what to claim, where to spend, and which mistakes to skip — so your opening hour in Anime Astral Simulator actually moves you forward instead of resetting you.
First 10 Minutes
- 1Boot the game, finish the tutorial fight, and accept your starter fighter without rerolling — early rerolls almost always under-perform.
- 2Open the Codes menu and redeem every confirmed code on the Codes page; the launch bundle alone pays for several World 1 attempts.
- 3Pop one XP potion and one Damage potion before the first World 1 boss so the fight doubles as a level milestone.
- 4Defeat Sabuza to flag World 1 as in-progress, then immediately head to Tobi and Kisame — they share scaling with your fresh buff.
- 5Bank Yen, do not spend it in the lobby shop yet — the better purchases unlock after Pain is down.
First-Session Priorities
Codes first, always
Free tickets and potions are the highest return-on-time action in the game. Skipping codes to "go fast" is the most common reason new players reset.
One fighter, fully fed
Pick a single starter fighter and pour upgrades into it. Spreading XP across three fighters is the silent reason runs stall around Madara.
Pick a target, not a tab
Decide before each session: code check, World 1 push, or fighter upgrade. Sessions that try to do all three rarely finish any of them.
Common Mistakes
- Rerolling the starter fighter before clearing Kisame — the starter pool is intentionally strong through mid-World 1.
- Hoarding tickets "for later" instead of redeeming current codes — codes expire silently and saved tickets do not compound.
- Burning all potions in one fight to brute-force Madara — split them across two attempts to keep the buff window alive.
- Buying lobby shop items before Pain is down — the better stock unlocks afterwards and the early items are mostly a Yen sink.
- Treating community-reported codes as guaranteed — try them, but plan around the confirmed list.
Beginner FAQ
Should I reroll my first fighter?
No. The starter pool is balanced for the entire World 1 push. Reroll only after Madara is down — by then you will know which archetype your style actually rewards.
How long is the first real session?
A clean first session — codes, World 1 progression, and a quality fighter upgrade — runs about 45 to 60 minutes. Anything faster usually skips the code claims that fund the next session.
When should I start the tier list?
Only after your first World 1 clear. Before that, the starter fighter is doing most of the lifting and the tier list will pull you into rerolls that waste resources.
Once the first-session checklist is done, head to Worlds for the boss order and Codes for top-ups before the next push.
