Anime Crusaders Beginner Guide – Trello Link & Wiki
Important Features to Know First
In-Game Wiki
Anime Crusaders includes a built-in wiki, which is one of its best features. You can look up:
- All units, relics, and items
- Traits and their effects
- Drop sources for each item
Click on any item in the index to see exactly where it drops (e.g. Battle Pass, challenges, etc).
Auto Navigation
You don’t have to walk around manually — just click locations to auto-teleport in the lobby.
Quests and Banner Timers
There are clear refresh timers for banners and announcements. Plus, quests are easy to track from the UI.

You can get reroll materials from:

You can also get double traits, which stack two buffs.

Game Passes and Monetization Tips
Best Purchases:
