Getting Started in Anime Rangers X

Best Starter Units

Leaf Ninja - The recommended starter unit

When you first launch Anime Rangers X, you'll need to choose between three starter units. Leaf Ninja (Naruto) is widely considered the best choice for beginners due to his high movement speed and rapid attack skills that help clear early waves efficiently. His evasion chance also provides extra survivability in early PvE content.

Redeeming Codes

One of the first things you should do is redeem all available codes for free rewards, including gems, trait rerolls, and other valuable items. To redeem codes:

Join the official ARX group (found in the game description)
Click on the "Codes" button in the game
Enter the codes to receive rewards

Current working codes include "road to one empress" and several others that can give you a significant boost when starting out.

Upgrade Priority for Stats

Your immediate focus should be upgrading these key stats in this order:

Priority	Stat	Target Value	Benefit
1	Maximum Yen	1,500-2,000	Summon mythic units, place more units
2	Yen Generation	Level 10+	Increase gold income during battles
3	Tower Health	Level 5+	Survive longer in difficult content

As one YouTuber explained: "First off because it let you spam units which mean equals more DPS or faster clears". Higher maximum yen also allows you to summon more powerful units that have higher cost requirements.

Otaku: A solid Legendary unit that works well in early stages
Silent Sting: Good Legendary unit for beginners with nice damage output
Doctor Pirate: Strong Legendary healer unit that works in many team compositions
Demon Slayer: Worth investing in because it evolves into an S-tier unit

"The best beginner Legendary units in ARX are Otaku, Silent Sting, Doctor Pirate...".

Focus on acquiring and upgrading these units first!

How to Level Up Quickly

Leveling up efficiently is crucial for unlocking content and strengthening your account. Here are the most effective methods:

Story Mode Farming

The most efficient way to gain experience is by farming Story Mode, particularly:

Always farm the tenth chapter of the latest Story Stage you've unlocked
Play on Nightmare difficulty for 3x more experience
Focus on Z City Chapter 10 on Nightmare difficulty (300 XP per run)

"The most effective leveling-up method in Anime Rangers X is through the Story Stages... the tenth chapter of the latest Story Stage".

💡 XP Farming Tip:

For maximum efficiency, aim to clear Z City Chapter 10 on Nightmare difficulty in under 2 minutes. This can yield approximately 9,000 XP per hour!

Other Experience Sources

Ranger Stages

Same XP as Story Stages but limited to once per hour

Boss Events

Good XP but require stronger teams and take longer to complete

Challenges

Provide decent XP along with specific rewards

Traits and Upgrading System

Understanding Traits

Traits add permanent stat bonuses to your units, significantly improving their performance:

Best Mythical Traits

Seraph: Extremely rare, major damage boost
Capitalist: Increases gold generation
Sovereign: Increases overall stats

Best Legendary Traits

Superior: Significant damage boost
Horizon: Increases attack range
Duplicator: Chance to duplicate attack

"By selectively rerolling Traits like Superior (damage boost), Horizon (range), or the super-rare Seraph and Capitalist (mythical tier), you can even double the DPS of your units".

Evolution System

Evolution transforms your units into more powerful versions with enhanced abilities:

Each evolution requires specific materials earned from Ranger stages
Higher rarity units need more materials to evolve
Some low-tier units like Demon Slayer become S-tier after evolution

"Evolution upgrades your units to their final forms unlocking new abilities and stat increases".

Limit Break System

Limit breaks increase a unit's max level from 50 up to 100:

Visit Dr. Megga Punk near the Traits Tower
Trade two Dr. Megga Punk items for each +5 level boost
Farm these items in the Challenge Tower or purchase from the Speed Cart Merchant
