Anime Expeditions has quickly become one of the most polished Roblox tower defense games, but many new players slow their own progress by making the same mistakes.
After watching experienced players and spending dozens of hours in-game, one thing becomes clear: efficient progression isn't just about getting lucky summons. Knowing when to spend resources, which units to build, and what content to prioritize makes a much bigger difference.
Here are six beginner mistakes you should avoid if you want to progress faster.
Don't Summon for Secret Units Before Level 10
One of the biggest misconceptions is that Secret Units can appear immediately after starting the game.
They can't.
The Secret banner featuring Megumi only becomes available after reaching Level 10.
That means spending thousands of Gems before Level 10 dramatically lowers the value of your summons.
Instead:
- Save your Gems while leveling.
- Complete Story Mode and beginner missions.
- Wait until Level 10 before spending heavily.
Many players also waste Gems on the Mini Banner because it contains limited characters like Uta. While tempting, the Mini Banner generally offers much lower long-term value than the Secret Banner.
If your goal is building a strong account, prioritizing Secret Units such as Megumi or Kenpachi is usually the better investment.
Don't Rush to Farm Kenpachi
Once Story Mode is finished, many players immediately start grinding raids for Kenpachi.
However, this isn't always the best decision.
Without the Unbound trait, Kenpachi is surprisingly expensive to build.
His maximum upgrade cost reaches around 92,000 Yen, yet his overall DPS often falls behind other well-built units carrying stronger offensive traits.
For newer accounts, investing every resource into Kenpachi can delay overall progression.
A balanced team with efficient carries often performs better until you obtain better traits.
Spend Event Shop Resources Wisely
Another common mistake is buying only:
- Trait Crystals
- Rerolls
from the Event Shop.
While rerolls are valuable, they shouldn't always be your highest priority.
If your account is stuck because you cannot evolve important units, purchasing:
- Sprites
- Evolution materials
- Equipment reset items
can provide a much larger power spike.
Think of the Event Shop as a progression tool rather than simply a reroll shop.
Don't Ignore Expedition Hub
Many players completely ignore Expedition Hub after unlocking it around Level 20.
This is a huge mistake.
Expedition Hub isn't just another game mode—it becomes one of the most important long-term progression systems.
One of its biggest features is the Armory.
After upgrading the Armory to Level 2, you'll unlock the ability to craft exclusive Relics that provide powerful bonuses, including permanent damage increases and improved equipment stats.
Later on, you'll also be able to reroll relic attributes to chase stronger end-game builds.
The earlier you begin upgrading Expedition Hub, the more resources you'll accumulate over time.
Don't Chase Unbound on Every Uta
Many players believe the perfect Uta build always requires Unbound.
That's not necessarily true.
Uta's strength comes from her passive ability.
She copies a percentage of nearby allies' current damage while also stacking Spirit Bats through multiple placements.
Because of this, several properly built Uta units often outperform a single "perfect" one.
Many experienced players instead recommend traits like:
- Draconic
- Forsaken
especially when paired with relics that allow copied damage to critically strike.
Instead of endlessly chasing Unbound, focus on maximizing her overall team synergy.
Anime Expeditions Is Already One of Roblox's Best Tower Defense Games
After more than 60 hours of gameplay, many experienced players agree that Anime Expeditions combines some of the best mechanics from today's most popular Roblox tower defense titles.
Some standout features include:
- High-quality anime models
- Smooth combat performance
- Story stages with star objectives
- Modern UI design
- Ghost placement preview
- Deep evolution systems
- Very few launch bugs
The overall polish is impressive, especially for a newly released experience.
If future updates maintain the current quality, Anime Expeditions has every chance of becoming one of Roblox's biggest tower defense games.
Final Tips for New Players
If you're just starting Anime Expeditions, remember these simple rules:
- Save Gems until Level 10 before summoning for Secret Units.
- Don't overinvest in Kenpachi without a strong trait.
- Prioritize progression materials over endless rerolls.
- Start developing Expedition Hub as early as possible.
- Build Uta around team synergy rather than chasing Unbound.
- Focus on long-term account growth instead of short-term power.
Making smart decisions early will save thousands of Gems, Trait Crystals, and hours of grinding later, giving your account a much smoother path toward end-game content.
