Anime Expeditions Beginner Guide

Learn what to do first in Anime Expeditions, build a beginner team, clear Story, spend Gems safely, and prepare for later modes.

Your first goal is not a Secret unit. It is a six-slot plan that can enter a stage, survive the opening waves, scale into the boss, and earn the resources for the next run.

A comfortable beginner team

  • One cheap opener.
  • One main damage carry.
  • One area or multi-target unit.
  • One slow, stagger, or crowd-control option.
  • One buffer or debuffer.
  • One farm unit or flexible sixth slot.

How to spend early Gems

Use the beginner or Standard Banner only after reading its current pool and pity. Stop when your team has enough roles to clear content; levels, upgrades, and one evolution can be a stronger account improvement than another random duplicate.

Beginner questions

What is the best starter unit?

Choose the unit that deploys early and covers the first waves; the exact answer depends on your available starter pool.

Should I reroll traits immediately?

No. Keep rerolls for a unit you expect to use after Story progression and early banner upgrades.
