Anime Zero Beginner Guide
Last updated: 2026-11-09
This Anime Zero beginner guide covers what to do in your first session, which starting weapon to keep, the mistakes that waste new players' time, and a route for your first 30 minutes.
New player checklist
- Redeem every code first. Free spins and trait rerolls are worth more early than anything you can farm. Start with ANEWCHAPTER, ZODIAC, ARTIFACTS, then the rest of the Anime Zero codes list. Some need level 25–50, so come back for those.
- Join the LY* Roblox group (Another Lyt Project, group 861404864) so you see update announcements in Roblox.
- Fill both weapon slots. You carry two weapons and swap between them. Spin the Arsenal until you have two, ideally Legendary or better.
- Spend your first skill token on damage. Open the Skills tab and buy the first Attack node.
- Play Story acts in order on a difficulty you can finish. Story teaches each weapon's kit; Defense, Infinite and raids are poor places to learn.
- End sessions in the AFK chamber. It pays about 10 Coins a second, 50 Gems every 2 minutes and 1 Lucky Spin every 15 minutes (October 2 rates).
Default controls (PC)
- M1: basic attack combo.
- 1, 2, 3: weapon skills; the ultimate unlocks as you level and awaken.
- T: swap to your second weapon. Swapping is how you chain buffs and burst windows.
Which starting weapon to use
The free Epic starters (Rubber Man, Cosmic Warrior and Thunder Prodigy) are D tier. Use whichever you like for the first acts, then replace it the moment you roll a Legendary or better. Realistic early targets from spins are Cursed King and Mochi Commander (A tier); the strongest weapons come from Trials and raids later. See the tier list and the weapons list.
Your first 30 minutes
- Minutes 0–5: redeem codes, join the group, spin until both slots are filled.
- Minutes 5–20: Story Act 1 on Easy or Normal; spend the skill token after the first level-up.
- Minutes 20–25: buy the shop's Legendary and Rare items if you can, roll a trait on your best weapon.
- Minutes 25–30: push the next act, then park in the AFK chamber when you stop.
Common beginner mistakes
- Typing codes by hand. Codes are case-sensitive; copy them.
- Spending rerolls on a starter weapon. Save Trait Rerolls for a weapon you will keep.
- Jumping into Nightmare too early. Enemies have 2x health; you earn more by clearing Hard reliably.
- Leeching Infinite. You only get a wave's payout if you were there from the start, dealt damage and are alive when it clears.
- Using scripts or "free spin" sites. They risk your Roblox account and do not work.
