Update 1.2 in Anime Ghosts is labeled a mini update — and honestly, that’s accurate. It’s not massive, but what was added actually helps progression quite a bit if you’re mid-to-late game.
Let’s break down everything properly so you know what’s worth grinding and what you can ignore for now.
All New Working Codes
Use these first before doing anything else:
piratelevel – 2x Tier 2 Potions
shutdown – 2x Tier 2 Potions + Cooldown Reset
35klikes – 50 Gems
This update didn’t give many gem codes, so that 35klikes one is the important one.
New Punk City Dungeon Difficulties
Instead of adding a brand new world, they expanded Punk City dungeon with three new difficulties:
Easy
Medium
Hard
This is actually better than just adding “Insane” mode because each difficulty gives different rewards and achievements.
Enemy HP Warning
The Easy difficulty starts at around 14+ sextillion HP.
If you’re not already strong, don’t try brute-forcing it. You’ll waste time.
Dungeon Rewards & Achievements
Each difficulty has achievement milestones (like reaching wave 50).
Easy Difficulty Rewards
1.5x Energy
0.25x Damage
Medium Rewards
Increased drops
More boosts
Hard Rewards
Extra equip slot
Attack speed
Avatar XP
More drop bonuses
These stack up and make grinding significantly faster long-term.
New Secret Avatar (Possibly Gear 5 Luffy)
There’s a new avatar in the gacha pool.
It appears to be Gear 5 Luffy, but it doesn’t always show up.
You need to:
Wait for hourly gacha resets
Check if he appears in the banner
Have a large amount of tokens saved
It’s likely a Secret or Mythical rarity.
If you’re serious about getting it, save tokens for admin abuse events (extra luck boosts).
Pirate Leveling System (Egg Island)
This is one of the most important additions.
Near the Egg Island gacha, you’ll find Pirate Leveling.
This system increases your Energy multiplier.
Max level = 2x Energy boost
That’s massive for long-term scaling.
How Pirate Leveling Works
You spend Pirate Tokens.
Each upgrade:
Has a chance to succeed or fail
Costs increasing tokens
The price scaling rises quickly.
It does not increase by 1 each time — it increases by larger jumps later.
You will need far more than 5k tokens to max it.
How To Get Pirate Tokens
Best farming spots:
Easy difficulty of the new dungeon
Light Admiral (20% drop chance)
Leopard User enemies
You can also exchange tokens.
Token Exchange System
You can convert other world tokens into Pirate Tokens.
Important:
It’s a 10:1 ratio.
Example:
10,000 normal tokens = 1,000 Pirate Tokens.
Be careful not to convert everything blindly.
New Dungeon Advice (For Free-to-Play Players)
If you cannot comfortably clear enemies in seconds:
Do not farm Hard difficulty.
Focus on:
Getting Monarch’s Armor
Commander’s Helmet
Turbo Cloak
Maxing mythic gachas
Build your foundation first.
Is the Update Worth Grinding?
Short answer:
Yes, but only if you’re already strong.
The Pirate Leveling system alone is worth grinding for long-term scaling.
The new dungeon achievements also provide permanent boosts.
The secret avatar is optional but powerful.
What Was NOT Added
No new ascensions
No new weapons
No major new world
This really is a progression-focused mini update.
Best Strategy After Update 1.2
Use codes.
Farm Easy dungeon for Pirate Tokens.
Level Pirate Energy slowly.
Save gacha tokens for admin luck events.
Do not waste time brute-forcing Hard mode if underpowered.
Update 1.2 isn’t flashy, but it strengthens progression systems.
Pirate Leveling = long-term energy scaling.
New dungeon difficulties = permanent stat boosts.
Secret avatar = high-risk high-reward grind.
If you play smart, this update speeds up your account massively over time.
