Getting Started in the Dojo

When you first spawn into Anime Fighting Simulator on Roblox, the environment might feel overwhelming. You will find yourself in the central Dojo, your starting hub. The game is designed around a continuous loop of training, questing, and upgrading, and understanding the UI early on is your first step toward becoming a top-tier player.

At the bottom of your screen, you will notice icons representing your four primary stats: Strength, Durability, Chakra, and Sword. These are the pillars of your power. Your goal is to maximize these stats to increase your "Total Power" (TP), which is the key to unlocking new areas, stronger enemies, and more prestigious classes. The game provides an onboarding tutorial, but the real growth happens when you start multitasking—keeping quests active while simultaneously training your stats.

Understanding Stats and Training

In Anime Fighting Simulator, training is the fundamental mechanic that drives your progression. You have two ways to train: basic training (anywhere) or using designated Training Spots. Training Spots provide a multiplier that stacks with your own, making them significantly more efficient.

  1. Identify Your Goal: Decide which stat you want to focus on (Strength, Durability, Chakra, or Sword).
  2. Find a Spot: Look for specific training equipment or areas around the map. For example, use punching bags for Strength.
  3. Engage: Click the corresponding stat icon at the bottom of the screen.
  4. Execute: For most stats, you must left-click to perform the action. However, Chakra training involves charging up, and Durability training often just requires you to stand in the designated area.
  5. Monitor Multipliers: In the "Stats" menu, you will see your total stat and your multiplier. Use your earned Yen to upgrade these multipliers to gain stats faster.

A crucial detail to remember is that the Sword stat is unique. Unlike the other stats, there are no specific training spots for Sword skill; you gain this stat by simply swinging your sword. Always ensure you are actively training rather than standing idle if you want to climb the leaderboards quickly.

The Quest System: Your Path to Power

If you want to progress efficiently, you cannot rely on training alone. Quests are the primary source of Yen and additional stat bonuses. The most important NPC for beginners is Boom, located in the spawn area.

Tip

Always keep a quest running. Speak to every NPC you encounter to pick up multiple quests simultaneously. Many quests overlap—for example, a quest might require you to gain a specific amount of Strength. By having multiple quests active, you can complete them in parallel, maximizing your efficiency.

When you complete a quest, you are rewarded with Yen and Chakra. Yen is vital because it is not just currency for the shop; it is the fuel for your progress. You use Yen to upgrade your stat multipliers. Currently, the max multiplier reaches into the hundreds of thousands, so you will need a steady stream of Yen throughout your entire playthrough.

Managing Currencies: Yen and Chikara Shards

There are two main currencies in the game: Yen and Chikara Shards. Understanding how to earn and spend them is the difference between a struggling player and a pro.

Yen

Yen is used to upgrade your multipliers and your Class. Your Class is determined by your stats and is upgraded at the Wukong NPC, located in the spawn building of every dimension. Upgrading your class is essential because it increases your "Yen per minute"—a passive income that accumulates while you play.

Chikara Shards

Chikara Shards are the "premium" in-game currency (though they can be earned without Robux). You obtain them by:

  • Opening golden crates scattered around the map.
  • Defeating world bosses.
  • Winning tournament matches.
  • Joining a clan (a highly recommended step for beginners).

Do not waste your Chikara Shards on trivial items early on. Save them for important progression items or to unlock slots in your "Adventures" menu, which allows you to send units on missions to gather resources while you are away or busy.

Champions and Powers

Champions are your companions in Anime Fighting Simulator. They provide passive buffs and can even train your skills for you. You can summon them, lock them to prevent accidental selling, and view their specific passives in the "Champions" menu.

Champion Index

Access the index to see all available units. Higher rarity champions (like Secrets) provide the best stat boosts and passive effects. Always prioritize summoning champions that train the specific stat you are currently focusing on.

Power Management

Powers can be unlocked via quests or boss drops. They scale with your stats. If you have a high Strength stat, your Strength-based powers will deal significantly more damage. Bind these to your keys early to ensure you are ready for combat.

Bosses and World Events

World bosses are the ultimate test of your strength and a major source of rare loot. Every 30 minutes, a new boss spawns. Community reports suggest that you should not rush into these fights immediately. While the entry requirement might be 10,000 Power, it is often better to wait until you have a solid set of moves and higher stats to ensure you contribute enough damage to get the rewards.

Common bosses include:

  • The Armor Titan: Spawns near the meteor.
  • The Alligator: Located near the desert mansion.
  • The Beast Monkey: Found in the Cell Arena.

Defeating these bosses grants you materials (like Titan Serums, War Fragments, or Ape Fur) required to craft special forms and items. If you are struggling to get these items, check your Adventures menu; sometimes, you can obtain these rare materials through passive missions, saving you the trouble of fighting the boss directly.

Advanced Tips for Beginners

To wrap up your journey from novice to pro, keep these expert tips in mind:

  • Redeem Codes: Click the Twitter icon on the side of the screen. Developers frequently release codes for free boosts and currency. This is the easiest way to give yourself a head start.
  • Avoid "Pay-to-Win" Pitfalls: While there are many gamepasses, you can succeed as a Free-to-Play (F2P) player. If you decide to support the developers, the Training and Currency bundles are generally considered the most useful for progression.
  • Utilize the Compass: If you get lost or don't know where to go next, use the compass icon in the corner of your screen. It will tell you the requirements for entering new areas.
  • Join a Clan: Joining a clan as soon as possible provides passive bonuses and access to Chikara Shards, which are essential for mid-game progression.

Is the "Conceal Power" gamepass worth it?

The "Conceal Power" gamepass allows you to hide your power level and sword. It is primarily a PvP tool to surprise enemies. It is not necessary for PvE progression, so skip it if you are focusing on growth.

What is the best way to get Yen quickly?

The best method is to complete quests repeatedly. Specifically, look for quests in the Cell Arena. Once you have a high enough class, your Yen per minute will also increase, providing a consistent passive income.

Do I need to buy boosts to be competitive?

No. While boosts help speed up your training, they are not mandatory. You can achieve high stats through consistent play, questing, and participating in world boss events.
