Game Basics

Anime Squadron is a tower defense game on Roblox where you place anime-inspired units to defend against waves of enemies.

  • Place units on designated spots along the enemy path
  • Units attack enemies automatically within their range
  • Upgrade units to increase damage, range, and abilities
  • Earn money by defeating enemies to place more units
  • Survive all waves to win the stage

Building Your Squad

Create a balanced team with different roles to handle any situation.

  • Economy units generate extra money per wave
  • DPS units deal the bulk of your damage
  • Support units buff allies or debuff enemies
  • Tanks absorb damage and protect your backline
  • Upgrade your main carry unit first for maximum impact

Combat System

Understanding how combat works is key to building effective teams.

  • Each unit has attack speed, damage, and range stats
  • Abilities trigger on cooldown or under specific conditions
  • Some units have AoE (area of effect) attacks
  • Boss enemies have high HP and special abilities
  • Positioning matters — place tanks early, DPS behind

Unit Roles

Economy

Generate extra money each wave. Essential for affording expensive endgame units.

Example: Fastwagon

DPS

Deal high damage to eliminate enemies. The backbone of any team.

Example: Gometa, Madora, Woo

Support

Buff allies, debuff enemies, or provide utility. Dramatically improves team performance.

Example: Shinks, Rudaus

Tank

High defense units that redirect or absorb damage. Protect your squishy DPS.

Example: Shield Hero

Hybrid

Versatile units that can fill multiple roles. Good for flexible strategies.

Example: Shanron, Big Beard

Traits System

What Are Traits?

Traits are special modifiers that enhance your units' stats and abilities. Each unit can have one trait.

  • Traits are randomly assigned when you summon a unit
  • Higher rarity traits provide bigger bonuses
  • Use Reroll Cubes to try for better traits
  • Perfect Cubes guarantee higher-tier traits
  • Some traits change how a unit functions entirely

Best Traits to Chase

Not all traits are created equal. Here are the ones worth investing in:

  • Superior: +200% DMG, +300% HP — the best overall
  • Cloner: Spawns 2 units — doubles your placement
  • Entrepreneur: -40% Cost, +30% stats — great value
  • Rebirth: Respawns once — amazing for expensive units

Trait Rerolling

How to efficiently reroll traits without wasting resources.

  • Save Perfect Cubes for your best units only
  • Use regular Reroll Cubes on mid-tier units
  • Don't chase perfect traits on units you'll replace
  • Focus on S-tier or SS-tier traits for endgame units
  • Check the Tier List for trait rankings
