Anime Expeditions Beginner Guide

Before anything else, redeem every active code on the codes page. Codes give free Gems, Trait Crystals, and rerolls — enough to fund your first pulls and tuning. New codes drop on milestones, so check back often.

Spend your first Gems and Beginner Tickets on the Beginner banner, which guarantees a Mythic unit. A Mythic carry is enough to clear the first story worlds. Check the tier list to see whether the unit you pull is worth investing in long-term.

Run Story Modeto progress through the five maps in order: School Grounds → Flower Forest → Rose Kingdom → Fairy King Forest → King’s Tomb. Each map drops XP food, standard gear, and unit-exclusive gear used to evolve specific units. Aim for the 3-star objectives on each stage.

While progressing, run Challenges (Regular refreshes every 30 minutes, plus Daily and Weekly). Challenges are the most efficient all-round source of Trait Crystals, rerolls, and resources, so they fund your unit tuning.

Once you have a carry worth keeping, gather Sprites (via Crafting) and the unit-exclusive gear from the right map, then complete the unit’s Unit Quest to evolve it and unlock its passive. Evolution is a bigger power jump than leveling.

At level 20, Expeditions unlock. Build an Expedition Center, choose routes, and escort a payload for exclusive currencies and passive income. It is a steady resource engine running in parallel with active play.

At level 25, Raid Mode opens as the endgame: three acts per map, exclusive bosses, co-op play, and a Raid Shop. Build a team that covers DPS, support, and CC (see Best Units & Teams), then take on Tournaments and Mastery stages for the deepest runs.
