Anime Expeditions has officially launched, bringing a tower defense experience that pulls characters from popular anime like Frieren, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Bleach. Whether you are a brand new player or returning after early access, knowing how to progress quickly is key. This guide will walk you through the fastest path from starter to powerhouse, covering the core loop, what to prioritize, and how to avoid pitfalls.
What New Players Should Focus On First
Your first hour in Anime Expeditions should be all about unlocking the basic systems. Start by completing the tutorial missions. They guide you through unit placement, upgrading, and the summoning interface. After the tutorial, you will have a handful of common units. Do not reroll endlessly; instead, use your starting gems to do a few multi-summons on the standard banner to fill out your roster.
Next, locate the three-dot menu button at the top of the screen and tap it to open the settings panel. There you will find the Redeem Codes option. Enter any active codes you have not used yet. The rewards—especially Trait Crystals and Gems—will give you a massive early boost. It is best to redeem all codes as soon as possible because developers often retire them without warning after major milestones.
The Progression Loop: Gear, Units, and Expeditions
Anime Expeditions has a clear progression loop: summon better units, equip them with traits, and take on harder waves. Units come in rarities from Common to Legendary. Your initial goal is to assemble a team of at least four Rare or higher units. Once your team is formed, focus on upgrading them using Gold earned from battles.
The most important mechanic is the Trait System. Each unit can hold one or two traits that modify stats like damage, cooldown, or range. You can apply traits using Trait Crystals earned from codes or by clearing certain expedition nodes. To replace a trait, you need Stat Rerolls. To lock a good trait while rerolling others, you need Stat Locks. Hold onto your Locks for high-rarity units you plan to keep long-term.
Expeditions mode unlocks after you reach account level 20 or 25 (depending on the source). This is a roguelike-style mode where you send units on missions for rare materials and gems. It is a major source of endgame currency, so pushing your account level is a priority.
How Code Redemption Fits Into Your Progression
Redemption codes are designed to accelerate every stage of the game. In the first few minutes, using codes gives you enough Trait Crystals to apply traits to your best starter units. The gems from codes allow you to perform several multi-summons, dramatically improving your roster early. Some codes, like the milestone ones, award Stat Locks and Stat Rerolls that you should save until you have a unit worth perfecting.
One code is tied to a level requirement (the EXPEDITIONS code). It gives a large gem reward, but you must unlock Expeditions mode first. Do not waste time trying to redeem it early; focus on gaining experience through normal waves until you meet the level threshold.
Common Mistakes New Players Make
Ignoring the Group Join Fix: If a code does not redeem on the first try, you may need to join the official Roblox group via the Razorjaw NPC in the hub. This resolves many redemption errors.
Wasting Stat Locks on Common Units: Only use Stat Locks on units that are at least Rare, and ideally Epic or Legendary. Early game, you will replace units quickly, so save your Locks.
Skipping Expeditions: Some players avoid Expeditions because it is tougher than normal waves. However, it is the best source of certain materials. Even if you lose, you gain partial rewards.
Neglecting the Trait Menu: Many beginners forget to assign traits at all. Open the unit details and tap the trait slot to apply crystals. A unit without a trait is severely weakened.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the fastest way to earn gems in Anime Expeditions?
A: The fastest method is to complete daily missions and achievements. Also, redeeming codes (especially milestone ones) gives thousands of gems instantly. After that, grinding Expeditions mode yields steady gem income.
Q: I can't redeem the EXPEDITIONS code. What level do I need to be?
A: Multiple sources report that you must be at least account level 20 and have unlocked Expeditions mode to redeem that code. Check your level by tapping your avatar icon in the top-left corner.
Q: Should I save my Stat Rerolls for later?
A: Yes. Stat Rerolls are limited early on. Use them only on high-rarity units that you plan to keep for several days. On common or uncommon units, it is better to simply replace them with a new summon.
