Anime Card Adventures is a clicker-gacha where you tap for energy, summon anime-inspired cards, and battle through game modes. Focus on getting one Legendary card early, save trait shards for Epic+ cards, and don't spread your upgrades across too many cards.
I've been playing since the game hit Up-and-Coming. The core loop is satisfying once you understand it: click to generate energy, spend energy on abilities, use gems to summon better cards, upgrade your best pulls. But the game doesn't explain much, so I wasted a lot of resources before figuring out what matters.
How the Game Works
You start with basic cards and generate energy by clicking. Energy powers your card abilities. Better cards = stronger abilities = faster progression.
The loop:
- Click to generate energy
- Use energy to activate card abilities
- Earn gems from battles and milestones
- Summon new cards with gems
- Upgrade and evolve your best cards
- Repeat with stronger cards
The goal is building a deck of powerful cards that synergize well together.
Energy System
Energy is your main resource. Everything runs on it.
Generating energy:
- Click the screen (basic method)
- Auto-clickers from upgrades
- Passive energy regen from cards
- Energy boost potions (from codes)
Spending energy:
- Card abilities (main use)
- Evolution
- Some upgrades
Early game, you'll click constantly. Mid-game, auto-clickers and passive regen take over. Late game, energy becomes less of a bottleneck.
Card Rarities
Cards come in five rarities:
| Rarity | Drop Rate | Power Level |
|---|---|---|
| Common | ~60% | Weak |
| Uncommon | ~25% | Below average |
| Rare | ~10% | Decent |
| Epic | ~4% | Strong |
| Legendary | ~1% | Best in game |
Don't invest in Common or Uncommon cards. You'll replace them within hours. Save your resources for Rare and above.
I made the mistake of maxing out a Common card because it was my first. Complete waste. Two summons later I pulled a Rare that outclassed it immediately.
Summoning Strategy
Each summon costs 100 gems. The codes give you 2500+ gems to start.
Early game (first session):
- Do 15-20 summons to build your card pool
- Keep anything Rare or better
- Don't chase Legendaries yet, just get options
Mid game:
- Save gems for events with boosted rates
- Only summon when you need specific card types
- 500-1000 gems in reserve is smart
Late game:
- Target specific Legendaries
- Wait for rate-up banners
- Gems become less important than trait shards
The gacha rates are standard for Roblox. Expect to do 50-100 summons before seeing a Legendary. Don't get frustrated, it's designed this way.
Traits and Rerolling
Every card has traits that affect its stats. Traits are random when you summon.
Good traits:
- Damage +X%
- Energy Regen +X%
- Cooldown Reduction
- Crit Chance
Bad traits:
- Flat stat bonuses (scale poorly)
- Niche effects you won't use
Rerolling with Trait Shards:
Trait shards let you reroll a card's traits. They're limited, so use them wisely.
Rules I follow:
- Never reroll Common/Uncommon cards
- Only reroll Rare cards if they're your main carry
- Always reroll Epic and Legendary cards until traits are good
- Stop rerolling when you get 2+ good traits
The NEWYEAR code gives 50 trait shards. I burned through mine on a Rare card, then pulled a Legendary with garbage traits and had nothing left. Save them.
Evolution
Cards can evolve to become stronger. Evolution requires:
- Max level on the card
- Evolution materials
- Energy
Evolution priority:
- Your main damage card
- Your best support card
- Everything else
Don't spread evolutions across your whole deck. One maxed card beats five half-upgraded cards.
Building Your Deck
You can equip multiple cards at once. Deck building matters.
Deck composition:
- 1-2 main damage cards
- 1 support/utility card
- Fill remaining slots with your next best options
Synergy matters. Some cards boost others. Read the card descriptions and look for combos.
My starter deck:
- Main damage: Whatever Legendary/Epic I pulled first
- Support: Energy regen card
- Filler: Highest rarity cards I had
You'll swap cards constantly as you pull better ones. Don't get attached to your early deck.
Game Modes
Story Mode
Linear progression through battles. Rewards include gems, materials, and sometimes cards.
Clear as far as you can. When you hit a wall, upgrade your cards and try again.
PvP
Battle other players. Rewards based on ranking.
Don't stress PvP early. Your cards won't compete until you have at least one evolved Epic or Legendary.
Events
Limited-time modes with special rewards. Usually have boosted summon rates or exclusive cards.
Always participate in events. Even if you can't complete them, partial rewards are better than nothing.
Progression Path
Hour 1:
- Redeem all codes
- Do 15-20 summons
- Equip your best cards
- Start Story Mode
Hours 2-5:
- Push Story Mode until stuck
- Save trait shards for Epic+ cards
- Learn which cards you like playing
Hours 5-20:
- Focus on one main card
- Evolve it fully
- Start PvP when ready
- Save gems for events
Endgame:
- Multiple evolved Legendaries
- Optimized traits on all cards
- Competitive PvP ranking
- Event completion
Common Mistakes
Upgrading too many cards. Resources are limited. Focus on 2-3 cards max until you have surplus materials.
Wasting trait shards on low-rarity cards. Shards are rare. Save them for Epic and Legendary.
Ignoring energy management. Early game is click-heavy. Get auto-clicker upgrades when you can.
Skipping events. Event rewards are often better than normal grinding. Participate even if you can't finish.
Chasing Legendaries too hard. A well-built Epic beats a poorly-built Legendary. Work with what you pull.
Tips From Playing
The Secret Relic from SORRY4REVERT code is free power. Equip it immediately. I forgot about mine for two hours.
Energy potions stack. Use them before big grinding sessions, not randomly.
Check the Discord tier list. The community maintains rankings that update faster than guides. Link is in the game description.
Rebirth exists but isn't worth it early. Wait until you've hit a hard wall and understand the system fully.
