New to Anime Origins? This guide walks you through your first summon, first wave defense, and how to set up a balanced squad that carries you through story mode.

Your First 10 Minutes
Redeem any active codes first for free tickets and coins, then spend them on your first summon. Aim for a balanced opening: one early attacker, one support, and one tank.
- Redeem launch codes before spending real currency
- Place attackers near the path, keep tanks at the front line
- Don't upgrade every unit — commit to your top 6 for a story squad
Building Your Core Squad
A strong core squad has coverage for single-target bosses, hordes, and flying enemies. Review the tier list above and build around your 2-3 best units, then fill gaps.
Evolution vastly outweighs raw rarity. Two evolved A-tier units usually beat one unevolved S-tier.
