Best Methods to Farm Gems in Anime Squadron
Gems are the lifeblood of your summoning budget, and running out of them means waiting for the next income source. Fortunately, Anime Squadron provides multiple reliable Gem sources that add up quickly when you follow a structured farming routine.
Story progression is your largest one-time Gem source. Each act completion awards a chunk of Gems, and first-time clears give bonus rewards. After you have cleared all available Story acts, daily quests and Raids become your primary repeatable Gem income. Codes provide supplementary Gems that should be claimed whenever available.
| Method | Gems per Session | Time Investment | Repeatable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Story first-time clear | 100-300 per act | 15-30 min per act | No |
| Daily quests | 50-100 | 10 min | Yes (daily) |
| Raids | 30-60 per run | 8-12 min | Yes |
| Codes | 200-1,000 total | 2 min | When available |
| Achievements | 50-200 each | Varies | No |
| Boss Rush | 20-40 per run | 10-15 min | Yes |
The most efficient Gem farming strategy combines daily quest completion with Raid farming. Start each session by knocking out all daily quests, then spend remaining Stamina on Raids Act 4. This approach yields approximately 150-250 Gems per day from repeatable sources alone.
Gold Farming: Maximizing Your Income
Gold is the most frequently spent currency in Anime Squadron. You need it for evolution, gear crafting, perks, and various upgrades. Running out of Gold stalls your progression across every system simultaneously.
Infinite Mode is the gold standard for Gold farming, pun intended. The longer you survive, the more Gold you earn, and efficient teams can rack up thousands of Gold per run. Story farming is a solid alternative when you also need evolution materials, since Story acts drop both Gold and specific crafting components.
| Method | Gold per Hour | Secondary Rewards | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infinite Mode | 8,000-15,000 | Yen, experience | Medium-High |
| Story Act 3-4 | 5,000-8,000 | Evolution materials | Easy-Medium |
| Raids Act 4 | 4,000-6,000 | Trait Shards, Primal Cores | Medium |
| Boss Rush | 3,000-5,000 | Reroll Cubes | Hard |
Infinite Mode Gold Optimization
To maximize Gold per hour in Infinite Mode, build a team focused on sustainability. Shanron's healing and buffs keep your units alive longer, while your carry handles wave clearing. The longer your run lasts, the exponentially more Gold you earn.
- Bring a carry with Superior trait for maximum wave clear speed
- Include Shanron or Shinks for sustain and buffs
- Use Shield Hero as a frontline tank if waves get overwhelming
- Invest in Maximum Yen and Yen Generation perks before long farming sessions
- Target runs that last at least 15 minutes for best Gold-per-minute ratio
Trait Shard Farming: Raids Act 4 Dominance
Trait Shards are essential for rolling Superior and other powerful traits on your units. Raids are the only reliable source of Trait Shards, and Act 4 stands far above the earlier acts in efficiency.
The difference between Raids Act 4 and Act 3 is substantial. Act 4 drops nearly double the shards per run while only costing slightly more Stamina. If you can clear Act 4, you should never farm Trait Shards anywhere else.
| Raid Act | Shards per Run | Stamina Cost | Shards per Stamina |
|---|---|---|---|
| Act 1 | 1-3 | 8 | 0.25 |
| Act 2 | 3-5 | 10 | 0.40 |
| Act 3 | 5-8 | 12 | 0.54 |
| Act 4 | 8-12 | 15 | 0.67 |
To unlock Raids Act 4, you need to clear Story Act 3 and reach the recommended team power level. Invest in your main carry's gear and traits before attempting it. Once unlocked, dedicate at least half your daily Stamina to Act 4 runs for consistent Trait Shard income.
Daily and Weekly Farming Schedule
Following a set schedule ensures you never miss high-value farming opportunities. This daily routine assumes approximately one hour of playtime and can be scaled up or down based on your availability.
| Time Block | Activity | Primary Reward |
|---|---|---|
| 0-5 min | Redeem codes, claim dailies | Gems, Gold, misc items |
| 5-15 min | Complete daily quests | Gems, bonus currency |
| 15-35 min | Raids Act 4 x3-4 | Trait Shards, Gold |
| 35-50 min | Infinite Mode run | Gold, Yen, experience |
| 50-60 min | Spend resources (summon, craft, evolve) | Progression |
Weekly Priority Adjustments
On weekends or longer sessions, adjust your priorities based on what you need most. Need units? Save Gems and summon on the Selection Banner. Need Primal Cores? Run Raids Act 4 extensively. Need Gold for perks? Grind Infinite Mode.
| Weekly Goal | Focus Mode | Expected Yield |
|---|---|---|
| 500+ Gems | Raids + dailies | Enough for multiple banner pulls |
| 50+ Trait Shards | Raids Act 4 | 3-5 trait rolls |
| 20,000+ Gold | Infinite Mode | Major perk or gear upgrades |
| 5+ Primal Cores | Raids Act 4 | Steady evolution progress |

Farming Efficiency by Account Stage
Your farming priorities should shift as your account progresses. Early on, Story Mode provides the best returns because it gives both one-time Gems and essential materials. Mid-game, Raids become the priority for Trait Shards and Primal Cores. Late-game, Infinite Mode dominates for Gold generation.
| Stage | Primary Farm | Secondary Farm | Gems/Week Est. |
|---|---|---|---|
| New (0-2 Mythic) | Story Acts 1-4 | Daily quests | 3,000-6,000 |
| Mid (2-4 Mythic) | Raids Act 3-4 | Story Hard | 5,000-10,000 |
| Late (1+ Secret) | Infinite Mode | Raids Act 4 | 8,000-15,000 |
| Endgame (2+ Secret) | Boss Rush Hard | Infinite Mode | 10,000-20,000 |
Code Gems: The Hidden Farm Boost
Many players underestimate how much Anime Squadron codes contribute to farming efficiency. Redeeming all active codes provides 12,500+ Gems instantly — equivalent to roughly 25 hours of Infinite Mode farming. Always check for new codes before starting any farming session, as a single new code can fund an entire week of summoning.
| Code Source | Typical Gem Value | Time to Redeem |
|---|---|---|
| Release! | 1,000 Gems + extras | 30 seconds |
| 50kCCU! | 2,000 Gems + extras | 30 seconds |
| All active codes combined | 12,500+ Gems | 3 minutes |
Reroll Cube and Perfect Cube Farming
Beyond Gems, Gold, and Trait Shards, Anime Squadron farming also covers Reroll Cubes and Perfect Cubes. These are essential for stat optimization on your top units.
| Resource | Best Farm Source | Drop Rate | Time per Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reroll Cube | Boss Rush (Hard) | 1-2 per run | 8-10 min |
| Reroll Cube | Boss Rush (Easy) | 0-1 per run | 3-5 min |
| Perfect Cube | Boss Rush (Hard) | Rare (5%) | 10+ runs |
| Perfect Cube | Codes | Occasional | Instant |
| Stat Cube | Boss Rush + Codes | Common | Varies |
Perfect Cubes are the rarest farmable resource. Prioritize Boss Rush Hard runs when you need them, and always redeem codes that include Perfect Cubes like 50kCCU! which provides 2 Perfect Cubes.
