Incremental Simulatorhero tier listcodes
Anime Stars is an anime-themed Roblox incremental simulator — explore anime worlds, unlock Heroes, and defeat enemies with friends. Check codes, rank your Heroes, and learn how to get gems and gold before you spend your summon rolls.
Anime Stars is an unofficial fan-made resource. Roblox, the Anime Stars dev team, and creator-owned channels remain the source of record.
Codes are a high-value Roblox search intent. The official Anime Stars description lists RELEASE and SHUTDOWN as active codes — labeled Reported (from the official description) until they can be verified in-game (no invented codes).
Pick your current stage and jump straight to the decision that matters — no need to browse the whole wiki.
Redeem codes, take your first rolls, and unlock a starter hero to clear the first world.
Stack gems and gold fast, then invest in the heroes worth the rolls.
Clear worlds for relics, then gear your best heroes to push further.
The three questions new players ask most — answered in one line each (verified-source labeled, no invented numbers).
