Anime Squadron Beginner Guide
First-hour loop: redeem codes, Max Yen and Fastwagon, one carry lane, Goki / Vegata, then Ninja Village Act 4 for Madora, leave Mugen Train Akaza until Raids unlock.
By Bloxron Editorial Team · Last updated
New accounts die on shiny banner goals. This page is the first-hour order only: redeem, perk, economy unit, one carry, then fusion parents. Full tables stay on the wiki pages linked below.
When to pause this route
- Stop banner chasing if Story leaks waves, fix Maximum Yen, Fastwagon, and one carry before any raid or banner Secret chase.
- Pause Akaza farming until Raids unlock at level 15 and Act 4 clears without leaking.
- While the Update 3.5 capsule window is live, bank Yol for Asto (Black) before optional JJK or Desert Secret pity.
- Traits can wait until Yen income stops starving phase upgrades, one B-tier trait on a carry beats rerolling before Fastwagon.
First-hour order
- 1
Redeem every active code
Open the codes list first. Grab the Update 3.5 batch. UPD3.5!, CapsuleEventChanges!, RoyalKnights!, and PowerOfRivals!, for Trait Shards, Gems, Devil Capsules, Prisms, and Yol. Open capsules toward Asta → Asto (Black) once Yen income is online. Skip expired rows, active status lives on that page.
- 2
Buy Maximum Yen before flashy banners
Lobby perk Maximum Yen raises every deploy. Pay that before dumping Gems into low-rate Divines. Details and Index Gem cashouts sit on the progression wiki.
- 3
Pick up Fastwagon as soon as he shows
Yen income gates every other placement. Fastwagon is the early economy slot, leave dual-carry dreams until your Gold and Yen loops stop starving phase upgrades.
- 4
One carry lane, not five projects
Stack Cubes and Trait Rerolls on a single frontline DPS until it clears Story without leaking. Spreading upgrades across three half-built units stalls harder than banner RNG.
- 5
Goki and Vegata next
Goki (SSJ4 Full Power) covers flying waves and starts the Gometa fusion route. Vegata is the second fusion leg, keep both leveled even if Primal Core is weeks away. Rank rationale is on the tier list.
- 6
Ninja Village Act 4 for Madora
Once Story holds, push Ninja Village Squadron toward Act 4 for Madora (Gunbai), the free Secret carry of the shinobi arc. Save Gems for Rizzuto / Karashi only after that farm is online.
- 7
Older raids wait until level 15
Invasion Broly and Mugen Train Akaza both want Raids unlocked (level 15) and a lane that already survives Story. Day-one accounts should not split stamina across Banner Gogeta, Invasion, and Act 4 farm.

FAQ
What should I buy first in Anime Squadron?
Maximum Yen in the lobby, then Fastwagon when he appears. Codes before either if you have unused redeem rewards sitting idle.
When should I farm Akaza?
After Raids unlock at level 15 and your main lane already clears Story. Farm Mugen Train Act 4: Easy 0.25% / Hard 0.5%, pity 400 / 200 Act 4 clears. Full route notes are on combat modes.
Banner Tanjiro or raid Akaza first?
Tanjiro if you want a predictable Mythic lane from the banner. Akaza if you already clear Act 4 and want the Secret endgame carry, do not chase both on the same stamina budget.
Where do traits fit in the first hour?
Lock a usable trait on your carry after Yen and Fastwagon are online. Superior and Cloner ranks live on the traits wiki, do not burn every Shard chasing S before your lane can hold.
