How to Unlock Units in Anime Story 2

Unlocking new units is essential for building a powerful team in Anime Story 2. There are multiple ways to obtain units, and understanding each method will help you plan your progression and avoid wasting resources.

Method 1: Story Chapter Rewards

The most reliable way to unlock units is by progressing through story chapters. Many units are guaranteed rewards for completing specific chapters.

Story-guaranteed units are your baseline team. Prioritize story progression to unlock these reliable units before spending gems on summoning.

Method 2: Gem Summoning

The gacha system in Anime Story 2 lets you spend gems for a chance to pull random units:

• Single Summon — 100 gems per pull
• 10x Summon — 900 gems (10% discount)
• Featured Banner — Higher rates for specific units, rotates weekly

Summon rates by rarity:

• Common: 60%
• Uncommon: 25%
• Rare: 10%
• Epic: 4%
• Legendary: 0.9%
• Secret: 0.1%

Tips for summoning wisely:

• Save for 10x pulls for the discount
• Pull on featured banners when a unit you want is rated up
• Use codes for free gems to supplement your summoning budget
• Never spend all your gems at once — save for limited banners

Method 3: Boss Drops

World bosses and raid bosses have a chance to drop unit shards:

• World Bosses — Drop 1-3 shards per defeat, respawn every 30 minutes
• Raid Bosses — Drop 3-5 shards per raid, available 3 times per day
• Event Bosses — Guaranteed shard drops for event-exclusive units

Collect enough shards (usually 10-50 depending on rarity) to unlock the unit.

Method 4: Event Rewards

Limited-time events often offer exclusive units that cannot be obtained elsewhere:

• Story Events — Complete event chapters for unit rewards
• Tournament Events — Reach milestones for unit shards
• Holiday Events — Special themed units available for a limited time
• Collaboration Events — Crossover units from other anime games

Method 5: Shard Collection

Even without events or bosses, you can collect shards over time:

• Daily Shard Quests — Earn random shards by completing daily tasks
• Shard Exchange — Trade duplicate shards for ones you need (3:1 ratio)
• Guild Shop — Purchase shards with guild points
• Login Rewards — Weekly login milestones give shard bonuses
