How to Play Anime Mysterious: Getting Started
Anime Mysterious is an anime crossover tower-defense style experience where you summon units, clear Story stages, and farm resources to evolve your roster. Your first few decisions — starter character, banner pulls, and stat upgrades — determine how smoothly Day One goes.

When you first launch the game, you choose one of three starting characters. Naruto is the strongest pick thanks to his high movement speed, which stays useful even in late-game content.
Choose Naruto at the character selection screen. His mobility makes him the most valuable free unit, and he pairs well with almost any early lineup you build afterward.
If the game grants starting diamonds (roughly 500 in many cases), spend them on the banner immediately. Target Sasuke, Tanjiro, and Bart (Epic tier) as secondary units. Grab Speedwagon only if you still have an empty slot — with Naruto, Sasuke, and Tanjiro filling three slots, extra income generation is not urgent yet.
Banner Priorities: Which Characters to Pull
After redeeming codes at the Naruto NPC in the lobby (available once your account hits level 5), check the featured banner. There is a clear priority order for new accounts.
| Priority | Character | Why Pull | Evolution Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Boros | Strong tank, easy to evolve, carries into late game | Materials come from Story Mode |
| 2 | Gojo | Best after evolving: wide attack range, map-wide stun skill | Second evolve priority |
| 3 | Sukuna | Elite damage once evolved; completes the core trio | Requires Yuta event finger to evolve |
| 4 | Viel | Gacha-only unit with high payoff | Hardest evolution; large gold cost (~150,000, since reduced) |
Boros - Tank Core
- First priority for every new account
- Cheap, easy evolution from Story drops
- Strong active damage skill
Gojo - Map Control
- Evolved form gains wide attack range
- Active skill stops all monsters on the map
- Second evolve target after Boros
Sukuna - Elite DPS
- Powerful only after evolving
- Needs the Yuta event finger
- Completes the Boros/Gojo/Sukuna trio
Boros, Gojo, and Sukuna form a trio that can clear virtually all current content once all three are evolved. Build them in that exact order.
Day One Step-by-Step Progression
Follow this sequence on your first day to maximize gold, gems, and roster strength.
Summon Your Starter Team
Pick Naruto, then pull on the banner with starting diamonds. Aim for Sasuke, Tanjiro, and Bart as your supporting cast.
Clear Story Mode
Push through all Story stages. The first two stories are straightforward; the JJK stage (Curse Mall) is where many players without Boros stall out.
Redeem Codes at Level 5
Return to the lobby once your account ID reaches level 5 and enter codes at the Naruto NPC for free rewards.
Evolve Boros (If Lucky)
Boros evolution materials drop in Story Mode, so evolve him immediately if pulled. Evolved Boros trivializes the JJK stages.
AFK Farm Overnight
No Boros? AFK in Nx World Stage 3 Nightmare (Mysterious mode) for gems and gold. With evolved Boros, AFK at JJK Stage 5 Nightmare instead.
The free Battle Pass units (Rider uncle and schoolgirl) cost 800 yen to summon and underperform. Collect them for the roster, but deploy Naruto or Sasuke instead — they cost about the same and hit harder.
Stat Upgrades and Trait Rolling
Your stat page matters early but stops mattering later. The core rule: prioritize Max Yen, ignore most everything else until it matters.
| Stat | Recommendation | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Max Yen | Level 10-15 (about 2,000-3,000) | Boros costs 1,140, Gojo 1,200, Yuta 1,900 to spawn |
| Yen Generation | Skip or minimal | Speedwagon covers income passively |
| Other Stats | Level 10 everything first | Negligible past account level 20 |
For trait rerolls, follow your build order:
| Order | Character | Trait Priority |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Boros | Any buff works; HP or speed traits are solid |
| 2 | Gojo | Damage-focused traits; use any rainbow buff you get |
| 3 | Sukuna | Damage traits, then stop hoarding rerolls |
| 4 | Speedwagon | Twin Star trait for faster unit spawns and income |
| 5 | Viel / Yuta | Roll only after your damage dealers are set |
Rerolls are scarce in Anime Mysterious. Never burn them on supports before your damage units have usable traits — a 15% HP or speed buff on Boros is worth more than a perfect Speedwagon roll early on.
AFK Farming and Day One Checklist
The AFK Chamber is your backup plan when luck runs dry. Luke appears at roughly a 0.55% rate there, alongside gems, gold, and food drops. One Luke is enough — do not chase duplicates.
| AFK Location | Requirements | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Nx World Stage 3 Nightmare (Mysterious) | Any early team | Gems, gold, extra items |
| JJK Stage 5 Nightmare (Curse Mall) | Evolved Boros | Gems, gold, food, Toji shirt (bonus) |
| AFK Chamber | Access after Day One content | Luke (0.55%), gems, gold, food |
Day One Essentials:
- Select Naruto as starter and fill slots with Sasuke/Tanjiro/Bart
- Clear all available Story Mode stages
- Reach account level 5 and redeem codes at the Naruto NPC
- Pull and evolve Boros if the banner cooperates
- Set up an overnight AFK farm for gems and gold
- Upgrade Max Yen to roughly 2,000-3,000
Frieza was formerly meta but has fallen off. He remains a serviceable early damage dealer while you wait for better pulls, but do not build your plans around him.
FAQ
Q: How do I start playing Anime Mysterious?
Choose Naruto from the three starter options, spend your starting diamonds on the banner for Sasuke, Tanjiro, or Bart, and clear Story Mode. Redeem codes at the Naruto NPC in the lobby once your account reaches level 5.
Q: Which characters should I pull first?
Pull Boros first — he is a strong tank that evolves using Story Mode materials. Gojo is second (his evolved form stuns the entire map), and Sukuna is third, requiring the Yuta event finger to evolve. Together they clear nearly all content.
Q: What stats should I upgrade early?
Focus almost entirely on Max Yen, raising it to around 2,000-3,000 so you can afford expensive spawns like Boros (1,140), Gojo (1,200), or Yuta (1,900). Other stats can sit at level 10; Speedwagon handles income generation for you.
Q: Where is the best AFK farming spot on Day One?
Without evolved Boros, AFK at Nx World Stage 3 Nightmare in Mysterious mode for gems and gold. With evolved Boros, move to JJK Stage 5 Nightmare (Curse Mall) for better gem, gold, and food drops.
