Anime Mysterious is a Roblox anime line-defense game developed by the creator group Anime Mysterious. To push through tough waves and clear late-game raids, securing powerful units through the lobby summoner is your most critical early progression step.
This summoning guide covers banner mechanics, gem costs, pity expectations, and the best anime characters to target based on documented gameplay and verified data.
How Summoning Works in Anime Mysterious
Summoning in Anime Mysterious is accessed directly from the main lobby area. When you spawn in, walking toward the designated summon banners brings up the current banner pool and pull options.
According to third-party wiki logs and recorded early-access gameplay, summoning relies on the following core mechanics:
- Primary Currency: Summons consume Gems. Single pulls cost 50 Gems, while standard multi-pulls cost 500 Gems for 10 units.
- Pull Animations: Standard summons show an animated falling meteor. In recorded gameplay, pulling a Mythic or Secret tier unit triggers an alternate cutscene where the character drops directly into the lobby. Players can disable summoning visuals in settings to speed up mass pulls.
- Store Perks: The official Roblox store page lists a VIP Game Pass for 219 Robux, which officially advertises cheaper summons, a VIP title, and VIP daily rewards. Additional convenience game passes include Shiny Hunter (749 Robux) and Extra Unit Storage (99 Robux for +100 slots).
- Auto-Sell Filters: The summon menu features auto-sell filters for lower tiers such as Rare and Epic units. Using this toggle prevents low-grade pulls from clogging your initial 50-slot inventory cap.
Banner Rates, Rarity Tiers, and Pity Mechanics
Banners cycle featured characters across multiple rarity tiers: Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic, and Secret. Exact rate percentages for each banner are displayed inside the live Unit Index menu in the lobby.
Gameplay testing indicates that featured banners feature a visible pity counter. During public streamer testing, banners displayed a 500-pull pity counter for higher-tier featured targets. However, independent wiki documentation notes that live rates and pity conditions remain tied to active game patches, meaning players should always inspect the banner interface before committing deep reserves.
For character trait rolls—an upgrade system separate from unit summoning—the 0.11% rarity traits (such as Absolute Ego) have a documented guarantee set at 1,400 rerolls, while lower traits lack a built-in pity threshold.
Best Units to Target on Summon Banners
Not every high-rarity unit provides equal value early on. Player playthroughs reveal that efficient progression depends heavily on team synergy, deployment costs, and evolution ease.
| Unit Priority | Character | Base Rarity | Primary Combat Role | Key Value to Roster |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Speedwagon | Rare | Economy / Support | Generates 270 cash in Defense Mode; removes early Yen generation upgrade costs. |
| 2 | Broly | Mythic | Frontline Tank / Carry | Low evolution cost (~7,000 Gold); invulnerability frames during active skill; carries Story. |
| 3 | Gojo | Mythic | Crowd Control / Nuker | Post-evolution skill stops time across the map and eliminates large swarms in one shot. |
| 4 | Sukuna | Mythic | Screen-Wide DPS | Expanding domain slashes the entire map; pairs with Gojo for endgame raids. |
1. Speedwagon (Economy Priority)
While only a low-tier pull, Speedwagon is considered a mandatory utility unit by experienced players. In Anime Mysterious, characters feature switchable modes (Hunt Mode vs. Defense Mode). When placed into Defense Mode, Speedwagon stands still and regularly generates cash (observed at 270 Yen per tick). This bypasses the need to spend scarce early-game gold on basic Yen generation stat upgrades.
2. Broly (Starter Carry Priority)
Broly is widely recommended by content creators as the first Mythic to roll and build. Unlike many Mythics that demand tens of thousands of gold to evolve, Broly's evolution recipe is relatively inexpensive (costing roughly 7,000 Gold in early versions) and uses materials obtained naturally through Story stages. His active skill acts as an area-of-effect nuke while granting invulnerability frames (i-frames) during the animation, letting him tank heavy mob waves.
3. Satoru Gojo (Endgame Utility Priority)
Before evolution, Gojo performs as an average Mythic damage dealer. Once evolved through Story Act 3 materials, his active ability freezes time across the entire stage and wipes out massive enemy hordes before they reach your front line. He is widely considered the central core for clearing late-game Raids.
4. Ryomen Sukuna (Late-Game DPS Priority)
Sukuna serves as the premier map-clearing damage dealer alongside Gojo. His evolved form unleashes a domain expansion that slashes all enemies across the battlefield. However, his evolution requires raid farming (such as collecting fingers from the Yuta boss event, 1 Mysterious Shard, and 25,000 Gold), making him a secondary target after Broly and Gojo are established.
Starter Alternatives and Units to Avoid
If your initial summon luck fails to yield a top-tier Mythic, specific low-rarity units can carry the early campaign:
- Starter Naruto: Available as a starter choice. Naruto features high movement speed (around 19–20+ speed in tests) and low deployment costs, allowing him to trade blows with early story swarms.
- Sasuke and Bart: Epic-tier units from banners that offer cheap deployment costs and steady wave defense when paired with starter units.
- Units to Avoid Early: Creators advise benching Bulma and Boom early on. While Bulma and Boom increase your maximum Yen cap in Defense Mode, they do not generate cash per second like Speedwagon. Similarly, free Battle Pass units (such as School Girl or Nezaburo) have high summoning costs (up to 800 Yen in-match) while delivering low base damage.
Gem Budgeting and Pulling Strategy
To make the most of your summons without running out of currency, follow these verified guidelines:
- Redeem Level 5 Codes First: You cannot enter redeem codes on a fresh account immediately. The Naruto code redemption NPC in the lobby requires your account to reach Level 5 first. Push through early Story acts with Naruto and your starter units to unlock Level 5 before collecting free code rewards.
- Avoid Early Gem-to-Gold Conversion: The Gem Shop allows players to trade 2,500 Gems for 12,000 Gold. While convenient for late-game evolutions, spending gems on gold exchanges during your first few days severely slows your unit pulling power.
- Hold a Reserve for Focused Rotations: Do not spread 50-gem pulls randomly across rotating banners. Save until you can commit to a banner featuring either Broly or Gojo, ensuring you have enough pulls to capitalize on pity counters.
- Farm Story Nightmare Stages: For active gem farming, players observe that repeating cleared Story stages on Nightmare difficulty (such as Namek Act 3 or Curse Mall Act 5) provides a steady, fast loop of gems and character experience.
Alternative Ways to Obtain Units
Summon banners are not the only way to expand your roster. If you want to conserve gems, Anime Mysterious offers alternative acquisition routes:
- AFK Time Chamber: Accessible through the lobby NPC Luc. Leaving your account in the AFK Chamber grants passive gold, gems, and exclusive units. Recorded drop tables show the Secret-tier support unit Luke at a 0.55% drop chance, alongside exclusive milestone units like Yamcha after 4 hours of AFK time.
- Endgame Raids and Boss Events: High-tier units such as Yuta can be acquired by exchanging event points earned from the Yuta Boss Event rather than rolling banner gacha.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How many gems does a summon cost in Anime Mysterious?
Based on public tests and wiki data, a single summon costs 50 Gems, and a ten-pull costs 500 Gems. Costs can be reduced if you own the official VIP Game Pass.
Can I redeem summon codes right after starting the game?
No. In-game testing confirms that players must reach account Level 5 before the Naruto NPC in the lobby permits code redemption.
Which unit should I prioritize summoning as a beginner?
Content creators recommend targeting Broly first because of his low gold evolution cost and tanking capabilities. After Broly, your priority should shift toward pulling Gojo for his map-wide time-stop and nuke.
Why is Speedwagon recommended over Bulma on summon banners?
In Defense Mode, Speedwagon actively generates Yen periodically, solving early-game economy problems. Bulma only expands your maximum Yen capacity, which is unhelpful if you do not have steady cash generation.
