Become an Anime Billionaire Getting Started Guide
Everything a new player needs before diving into the rest of the wiki.
Welcome to Become an Anime Billionaire, the Roblox tycoon game where you collect anime-inspired characters to build a money-printing empire. This guide walks you through your first hour of gameplay step by step, from understanding the interface to making your first rebirth. By the end, you will know exactly how to progress efficiently and avoid common beginner mistakes.
Your first 10 minutes
When you first launch Become an Anime Billionaire, you will spawn in your personal base area. This is where all your units generate passive income. Here is what to do immediately:
- Look around the interface — Familiarize yourself with the buttons on screen. The Controls page has a full breakdown, but the essentials are the Roll button, the Code button, and the shop menu.
- Redeem codes first — Before spending any in-game currency, visit the Codes page and redeem every active code. Free Friendship Lucky Blocks and units give you a massive head start.
- Roll your first units — Use your starting currency and any lucky blocks from codes to roll for characters. Each roll gives you a random unit based on rarity tiers.
- Place units in your base — Drag or click to place rolled units into empty base slots. Every occupied slot generates cash automatically.
- Collect cash — Walk over cash drops or let them accumulate. This currency funds future rolls and upgrades.
Understanding the unit system
Units are the core of your economy. Each character generates a set amount of cash per minute based on their rarity and level. Here is how the rarity system works:
| Rarity | Income Rate | How to Obtain |
|---|---|---|
| Common | Low | Basic rolls |
| Uncommon | Low-Medium | Basic rolls |
| Rare | Medium | Standard rolls |
| Epic | Medium-High | Standard rolls |
| Legendary | High | Premium rolls, events |
| Mythic | Very High | Rare premium rolls |
| Exclusive | Varies | Codes, limited events |
Higher rarity units cost more to roll but generate significantly more income. Check the Tier List for specific unit rankings and the Players hub for detailed mechanics.
Base management basics
Your base has a limited number of slots for units. Managing these slots efficiently is the key to fast progression:
- Fill every slot — An empty slot generates zero income. Even a Common unit in a slot is better than nothing.
- Replace weak units — When you roll a higher-rarity unit, swap out your lowest-income character.
- Check income rates — Each unit displays its cash-per-minute rate. Always compare before placing.
- Upgrade strategically — Some units can be leveled up using gems. Prioritize your highest-rarity units for upgrades.
For advanced base optimization, read the Tier List and Map guide to understand placement bonuses.
When to rebirth
Rebirthing is the most important progression mechanic in Become an Anime Billionaire. When you rebirth, you reset your current progress (units and cash) in exchange for permanent multipliers and rebirth points. Here is when to rebirth:
- Rebirth when income growth stalls — If buying the next upgrade takes more than a few minutes of waiting, it is time to rebirth.
- Do not rebirth too early — You need enough accumulated value to earn meaningful rebirth points. Rebirthing with almost no progress wastes time.
- Invest rebirth points wisely — Put points into cash multipliers and offline income boosts rather than cosmetic options.
- Each rebirth gets better — The multipliers compound, so your second rebirth is worth more than your first.
Rebirthing also unlocks access to exclusive units that are not available through normal rolling. See the dedicated Rebirth guide for timing, upgrade priorities, and common mistakes. The Players hub lists rebirth-unlock units.
Using the merge machine
The merge machine lets you combine five identical units into one upgraded version with boosted income stats. This is the primary way to power up your units beyond their base rarity:
- Collect five copies of the same unit through rolling or trading.
- Walk to the merge machine location (see the Map guide for directions).
- Insert all five units into the machine.
- Pay the gem cost to start the fusion.
- Receive one upgraded unit with significantly higher income generation.
The merge machine is especially powerful for Epic and Legendary units. A fully fused Epic unit can rival an unfused Legendary in income output.
Crates and totems
Scattered across the map center, crates contain totems that provide passive bonuses to your entire base. These bonuses stack and can significantly boost your total income:
- Income totems — Increase the cash generation rate of all units in your base.
- Luck totems — Improve your roll odds for higher-rarity units.
- Speed totems — Reduce the cooldown between rolls.
Visit the Map guide for crate locations and the Events page for limited-time crate bonuses.
Offline income
One of the best features of Become an Anime Billionaire is that your units earn money even when you are not playing. To maximize offline income:
- Fill your base with the highest-income units before logging off.
- Invest rebirth points into offline income multipliers.
- Claim your offline earnings when you log back in; they accumulate up to a cap.
