How a match works
Step
Each round starts with the draft phase, where everyone spends their $20 budget on anime characters. Once all picks are in, the game compares teams and the stronger side wins.
- Check your budget you start with exactly $20 each round.
- Pick characters each character has a price and a strength to weigh against your remaining budget.
- Manage the remaining dollars try to spend every last dollar before the phase ends.
- Compare and settle when everyone is done, teams are shown side by side and the winner is decided.
Draft strategies worth knowing
Tips
The core decision every round is whether to sink most of your budget into one powerful character or spread it across several solid ones. The game itself points to a balanced team as a key to winning, but a single overpowered character is a legitimate approach too.
- X tier is the highest rarity level, so an X-tier character on your team is a strong signal that you have firepower.
- C tier is a lower rarity level — those characters are cheaper, which lets you fill out a team with more slots.
- Ultra-rare meme characters can appear in the draft pool and are worth grabbing if you spot one.
