GETTING STARTED

Anime Zero Beginner Guide

Equip two weapons and take them into Story. Your main weapon's Skill Tree, an unlocked ultimate, and filled accessory slots will all help you get through the early runs. You can start working on those with the weapons you already own.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Claim eligible codes, equip two weapons in the Arsenal, spend your main weapon's Skill Tokens, then start a Story run. Save Nightmare raids for a loadout that can clear Story without repeated deaths.

What to do first

  1. 01

    Open Codes and redeem the rewards available at your level. Leave level-restricted codes until you meet their requirement.

  2. 02

    Open the Arsenal and fill both weapon slots. Pick a main weapon, then read its skills before entering a run.

  3. 03

    Open that weapon's Skill Tree and spend available tokens. Start with Attack if enemies are taking too long to kill.

  4. 04

    Select Create Lobby → Story, then choose a map, act, and difficulty. The reward preview shows what you can farm there.

  5. 05

    After the run, claim completed quests. Equip any useful gear you earned before entering again.

Weapon switching, dashes, and ultimates

The default keyboard controls are T to switch weapons, Q to dash, and G for your ultimate. Follow the on-screen controls if you have rebound keys or play on mobile or a controller.

Let ordinary enemies bunch up before using an area attack. Against a boss, keep enough space to dodge when your attack animation ends. If one skill keeps getting you hit, use it after the boss attacks instead of opening with it.

Fix the problem stopping your run

Keep a useful early trait and save the remaining rerolls. You can earn resources with this weapon while waiting for a rarer one.

ProblemWhat to do
Rooms take too longSpend unused Skill Tokens on your main weapon's damage.
You die with skills readyWatch the attack that hits you and leave room to dash away.
Your ultimate is lockedSelect the weapon in the Evolution area.
You have spare materialsSave your evolution ingredients, then craft an accessory for an empty slot.
You keep summoning but have stopped clearingTake your current pair into Story before spending more.

After your first Story clears

Unlock your main weapon's ultimate or fill an empty accessory slot before taking on a harder run. If you are already clearing without trouble, try the next Story difficulty.

Infinite is the next option when you can survive sustained waves. For raids, bring a main weapon with its upgrades and learn the boss phases first. The tier list helps you choose a weapon to keep working on; the leveling guide covers XP and level-gated rewards.

PLAYER QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a LYTH weapon to start?+

No. Start Story with the weapons you own. Skill Tree upgrades and accessories will help you progress while you save summons.

Why can't I use my ultimate?+

The weapon may still need evolution. Select it in the Evolution area and read the requirements.

Should I use all my Trait Rerolls right away?+

Keep a useful trait on your main and save the rest. There is little reason to reroll a working setup while you are still learning its skills.

What if a code needs a higher level?+

Keep leveling, then redeem it once you meet the requirement. Each code has its own level gate and expiry.
