Anime Mysterious Beginner Guide – Best Starter Characters and Day One Progression
Starting a new account in Anime Mysterious can be confusing because there are many characters, upgrade systems, banners, and different ways to farm resources. If you are just beginning, the best approach is to focus on building a small group of useful units before spending all of your resources. This guide covers the recommended starter characters, which units to prioritize, how to spend your early gold, where to farm, and what you should focus on during your first day.
Choose Naruto as Your Starter Character
When you first enter Anime Mysterious, the game gives you a choice between several starting characters. Naruto is the recommended pick because he remains useful even after you have progressed further into the game.
One of Naruto’s biggest advantages is his movement speed. Since you will spend a lot of time moving around the map, completing stages, and visiting different areas, having a fast character can make the early game much more comfortable.
After selecting Naruto, check how many Diamonds you receive at the beginning. If you have roughly 500 Diamonds available, you can start pulling on the current banner and look for additional units.
Best Early-Game Characters
After getting Naruto, there are several characters worth looking for. The goal is not to immediately build a huge collection, but to create a cheap and reliable team that can clear the early Story stages. The recommended early units include:
- Naruto
- Sasuke
- Tanjiro
- Bart
- Speedwagon
Sasuke and Bart are both useful Epic-tier options. Tanjiro can also be used as an early damage dealer.
Speedwagon is slightly different because his main purpose is to generate money. However, you do not necessarily need him immediately if your starting team already has Naruto, Sasuke, and Tanjiro.
At the beginning, you can only deploy a limited number of units, so focus on characters that are cheap to place and upgrade. A simple Naruto, Sasuke, and Tanjiro setup can carry you through the first part of the game without requiring too many resources.
Reach Level 5 and Redeem Your Codes
Once you have your starting team, continue playing until your account reaches Level 5.
After reaching Level 5, return to the lobby and find the Naruto NPC. This is where you can enter the available Anime Mysterious codes.
Redeeming the codes early is important because the rewards can give you extra resources for summoning and progressing. Make sure you enter each code correctly because codes can be case-sensitive or expire over time.
After claiming your code rewards, check the current banner to see which characters are available.
Characters to Prioritize
Once you have access to the gacha system, you can start working toward stronger characters. The recommended long-term progression from the source guide is:
- Broly
- Gojo
- Sukuna
- Wiew/Viel
These units have different roles, and some of them require significant investment before reaching their full potential.
1. Broly
Broly should be one of your first major goals. He is a strong tank-type character who can remain useful for a long time.
Another advantage is his relatively straightforward evolution. The materials needed for his evolution can mainly be obtained through Story content, making him much easier for new players to develop.
Broly also has an active ability that provides additional damage, so he is not simply a unit that stands in front of enemies and absorbs attacks.
If you manage to obtain Broly early, try to evolve him as soon as possible.
2. Gojo
Gojo is another major character to work toward after Broly.
His power increases significantly after evolution. Once evolved, Gojo has a large attack range and can affect enemies from a considerable distance.
His active skill is particularly useful because it can stop enemies across the map while also dealing damage. This makes Gojo valuable for both clearing stages and controlling large groups of enemies.
Because of his evolution requirements, Gojo is better treated as a second major project after Broly.
3. Sukuna
Sukuna is another powerful unit, especially after evolution.
The reason he comes after Broly and Gojo is that his evolution has an additional requirement. You need to complete the Yuta event and obtain the required finger item before you can evolve Sukuna.
Once evolved, Sukuna can work extremely well alongside Broly and Gojo. Having all three developed gives you a powerful combination for dealing with difficult content.
4. Wiew/Viel
Wiew, also referred to as Viel in the source, is another unit worth obtaining later.
The main problem is his difficult evolution process. You first need to obtain the required character and complete additional requirements before you can fully develop him.
His evolution can also require a large amount of Gold. The cost mentioned in the source was around 150,000 Gold at one point, although the cost may change with updates.
The required materials can involve Raid content, so this is not something you need to focus on immediately when starting your account.
For a new player, it is more practical to build Broly first and use him to make later farming easier.
How to Spend Your Early Stats
New players also need to decide where to spend their early resources on account stats. Gold can be difficult to obtain at the beginning, so avoid putting too many resources into unnecessary upgrades.
A good starting approach is to raise your important stats to around Level 10 first. You can increase them further once your farming becomes more efficient. Maximum Yen is particularly useful because it determines how much money you can hold when entering a stage.
Some important characters have relatively high deployment costs. For example, Broly can cost around 1,140 Yen, Gojo around 1,200, Wiew around 1,200, while Yuta can require around 1,900.
Because of this, having a maximum Yen capacity of around 2,000–3,000 is a useful early target. If you want enough capacity to deploy several expensive units, you can eventually increase it toward 4,000 or even 5,000.
Yen generation itself is less urgent because Speedwagon can generate money quickly. Save your early Gold for character evolution whenever possible.
Which Traits Should You Reroll?
Do not waste all of your early rerolls trying to create perfect traits on every character.
Your damage dealers should receive the first investment.
Broly should be one of your first characters to roll traits for. If you get a strong trait, keep it. Even basic bonuses such as increased HP or movement speed can be useful during the early game.
After Broly, focus on Gojo. Damage-related bonuses are especially useful for him because his role is centered around dealing damage and controlling enemies.
Sukuna can be your next target once you have him.
Only after your main characters have reasonable traits should you start spending more rerolls on units such as Wiew or Yuta.
Speedwagon Traits
Speedwagon can also benefit from a good trait, with Twin Star being recommended in the source because it helps improve the rate at which you can deploy units and generate money.
However, Speedwagon does not need to be your first reroll target.
His basic money generation is already useful, so your initial rerolls are generally better spent on the main damage and tank units you are actively using.
Clear Story Mode First
Once your starting team is ready, start clearing Story Mode.
Try to complete as many Story stages as possible. The first parts of the game should be manageable with your early team, especially if you have Naruto, Sasuke, Tanjiro, or another useful Epic unit.
If you manage to obtain Broly, prioritize his evolution because his evolution materials can be collected through Story content.
This gives you a clear progression path instead of spending all your time trying to summon additional characters.
Players who do not get Broly may eventually struggle on the JJK-related stages. If that happens, simply push Story Mode as far as your current team allows rather than wasting all of your resources trying to force a difficult clear.
Day One AFK Farming
After progressing through Story Mode, you can start using the Mysterious mode for AFK farming.
For your first day, the recommended option is the Nightmare version of NxWorld Stage 3.
This stage provides a useful combination of Gold and Diamonds while being relatively manageable for newer accounts.
If your team is not strong enough to progress further, leaving the game AFK here can help you build up resources while you work toward better characters.
The early objective is not necessarily to obtain every possible unit. Instead, focus on collecting enough resources to improve your core team.
If You Already Have Broly
Players who get Broly early should take advantage of him.
Try to collect the materials required to evolve Broly as soon as possible. Since his evolution materials can be obtained from Story content, this is one of the more accessible early upgrades.
Once Broly has been evolved, return to the JJK Story content and work toward Curse Mall Stage 5 on Nightmare difficulty.
This can become a strong AFK farming location for players with an evolved Broly.
You can farm:
- Diamonds
- Gold
- Food
- Additional stage materials
- Some equipment as bonus rewards
The Toji Shirt mentioned in the source is one of the possible extra rewards, although it is not the main reason to farm this stage.
What If You Don’t Get Broly?
Not getting Broly does not mean your account is finished.
Continue clearing Story stages with the best units available to you. Naruto, Sasuke, Tanjiro, and other Epic or Mystic units can help you progress while you work toward a stronger character.
Frieza is another possible damage dealer you may encounter. He was previously considered part of the stronger meta, although the source notes that he is not as powerful as he once was.
Even so, Frieza can still provide useful damage for a new account.
However, there is no need to spend all of your time chasing him. If the rewards from repeatedly farming for Frieza are too low, you can move on to other farming methods.
AFK Chamber Alternative
Another option for players who are struggling to obtain a strong character is the AFK Chamber.
The main target here is Luke, which has an appearance rate of around 0.55% according to the source material.
The AFK Chamber can also provide additional rewards such as:
- Diamonds
- Gold
- Food
The source mentions a 5% chance for 10 Diamonds and various Gold rewards, including a 40% chance for 100 Gold.
The important part is that you do not need to collect multiple copies of Luke. Getting one useful copy is enough for your early progression.
This makes the AFK Chamber a reasonable alternative if you are unlucky with the main gacha or simply do not want to spend too much time farming low-value resources.
Recommended Beginner Team
For a fresh account, your team does not need to contain the strongest characters in the game.
A simple starting setup can use:
- Naruto
- Sasuke
- Tanjiro
- Speedwagon
- Broly or another strong Mystic
- Another useful damage dealer or support unit
If you already have Broly or Gojo, replace weaker temporary units with them as you progress.
Speedwagon can be included when you need additional income, while Naruto remains useful for his movement speed and early-game utility.
The important thing is to avoid spending too many resources building characters that you will replace shortly afterward.
Don’t Rely on Battle Pass Units
Some units can be claimed from the Battle Pass very early, including the first reward.
Although these characters are easy to obtain, the source recommends treating them as collection units rather than core members of your team.
Their deployment costs can also be relatively high. For example, one of the mentioned Battle Pass units costs around 800 Yen to summon, while you can use that same amount more effectively on characters such as Naruto or Sasuke.
The Rider and Schoolgirl units mentioned in the source are therefore not recommended as the foundation of a beginner team.
Instead, prioritize characters obtained through the gacha and units that have stronger long-term value.
Simple Day One Progression
If you are completely new to Anime Mysterious, the first day can follow this basic path:
- Choose Naruto as your starter.
- Use your starting Diamonds on the banner when appropriate.
- Look for Sasuke, Tanjiro, Bart, and Speedwagon.
- Reach Level 5.
- Visit the Naruto NPC and redeem available codes.
- Clear as much Story Mode as possible.
- Try to obtain Broly.
- Evolve Broly if you get him.
- Farm NxWorld Stage 3 Nightmare if you need general early resources.
- If Broly is evolved, work toward Curse Mall Stage 5 Nightmare.
- Use the AFK Chamber as an alternative way to obtain another useful unit.
- Save Gold for character evolution instead of spending everything on stats.
- Focus your first trait rerolls on your main damage dealers and Broly.
- Build toward Gojo and Sukuna after your first core unit is established.
The biggest mistake a new player can make is trying to build every character at once. Anime Mysterious has several different systems, but your early resources are limited. Start with a small group of useful characters, clear Story Mode, and prioritize Broly if you manage to obtain him. Once Broly is developed, farming becomes easier, which lets you work toward more expensive characters such as Gojo and Sukuna.
For stats, focus on having enough Maximum Yen to deploy your important units. Around 2,000–3,000 is a reasonable early target, while 4,000–5,000 can be useful later when you want to deploy multiple expensive units.
For traits, spend your first rerolls on your core characters rather than support units. Speedwagon can be improved later because his basic money generation is already useful.
Most importantly, don’t feel pressured to obtain every character immediately. Build your account step by step, farm the resources you need, and use your strongest available units to unlock the next stage of progression.
