Why a Smart Progression Plan Matters in Anime Squadron
In Anime Squadron, raw playtime doesn't guarantee fast progress. The difference between a player stuck on a stage and one breezing through new content often comes down to a focused plan. Whether you're hunting for Divine units or trying to clear the latest Invasion mode, knowing where to invest your time and resources is the key.
This Anime Squadron progression guide will show you how to move from struggling on early stages to dominating the endgame. We'll cover everything from building your core team to farming the right materials, plus break down the new Update 1.0 content so you can grab those powerful new units.
Understanding Progression: It's More Than Just Leveling
Many players think "progression" only means increasing your player level. In reality, it's a web of connected systems. Your account grows through:
- Player level and unit levels
- Stage clears and access to new modes
- Upgrades, gear, and shiny transfers
- Team strength and synergy
- Resource management (currency, materials, premium items)
The fastest players are the ones who ask, "What will this run unlock?" before they start. A good progression session should push your highest stage, farm needed materials, level core units, unlock new content, or complete daily objectives. If your current activity doesn't do at least one of these, it's probably not the best use of your energy.
Early Game: Push Main Stages and Build Your Core Team
Your first goal is simple: push the main stages until you hit a real wall. Don't stop just because a stage feels slightly harder. Try different placements, upgrade orders, and team compositions before giving up. Clearing one more stage often unlocks better rewards and farming options.
Focus on a Small Core Squad
One of the biggest mistakes new players make is spreading resources across too many units. Build around a small core team:
| Unit Role | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Main Damage Dealer | Clears waves quickly | Guts, any strong AoE unit |
| Boss Killer | Focuses on single-target damage | Shanks, Falcons |
| Flexible Support | Fills gaps for specific stages | Control units, buffers |
Upgrade these three units before touching anyone else. A half-built replacement will often perform worse than a fully upgraded unit you already use. Test new units with basic investment first, then commit resources only if they prove useful.
Mid-Game: Farming with Purpose and Identifying Walls
Once you've pushed through the early stages, progression becomes about efficiency. You'll hit walls, but the fix isn't always "more levels." Analyze what's going wrong:
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Enemies survive too long | Low damage output | Upgrade your main DPS, get better gear |
| Enemies rush past your squad | Poor placement or lack of control | Use area damage, slows, or stuns |
| Bosses are the problem | Weak single-target damage | Invest in a boss killer unit |
| Early waves are difficult | Weak starting unit or economy | Upgrade your first deploy unit |
| Later waves collapse | Poor scaling or upgrade order | Focus on one strong unit early, then expand |
Farm Only What You Need
Unfocused farming is a progression trap. Before repeating a stage, decide what you need from it:
Good farming goals:
- Gain currency for a key upgrade
- Collect materials for a unit you use every run
- Level your main squad before the next stage
- Complete daily objectives
Bad farming habits:
- Repeating an old stage just because it's comfortable
- Farming while ignoring available upgrades
- Spending all resources on backup units
- Running content that gives rewards you don't currently need
A simple rule: farm until you can make the upgrade you came for, then test your next progression stage. Don't farm endlessly without checking whether you're already strong enough.
Update 1.0: New Units, Modes, and How to Get Them
The recent Update 1.0 (often called the Dragon Ball update by the community) introduced a ton of new content. Here's what you need to know, based on player experiences and official information.
New Unit Acquisition Guide
| Unit | Rarity | How to Obtain | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gogeta (Divine) | Banner Secret | Summon from the new banner (0.005% rate) | Also has a quest line: obtain base Gogeta, craft 20 gear, clear stages 250 times, apply exposing vulnerable, spawn base Gogeta 2,000 times |
| Broly (Divine) | Invasion Mode Drop | Beat the Broly Invasion 20 times (solo 5 times), deal 500M damage, obtain full Broly gear, clear infinite waves 450 times | Requires significant investment |
| Frieza (Secret) | Squadron Mode | Unlocked through squadron stages | Community reports it's a grind but worth it |
| Android / Baby Vegeta | Banner Units | Summon from the new banner | Also available via battle pass |
| Dante / Vergil | Battle Pass Units | Purchase the battle pass | Divine and exclusive; classic battle pass style |
| Gogeta (Secret) | Unknown | Likely related to Gogeta's quest line | Confirmed as a selection banner unit |
Invasion Mode Breakdown
The new Invasion mode is where you'll farm Broly. Here's what to expect:
- Objective: Defeat Broly within 20 minutes
- Boss HP: 10 million

Advanced Tips: Gear, Upgrades, and Resource Management
Once you're in the mid-to-late game, fine-tuning your approach makes a huge difference.
Gear Priority
New gear has been added for Gogeta and Broly. Here's what you need:
| Unit | Gear Pieces |
|---|---|
| Gogeta | Gogeta Pants, Gogeta Jacket, Gogeta Hair, Claw (accessory) |
| Broly | Full Broly gear set (obtained from Invasion mode) |
Craft and equip these to unlock the full potential of your Divine units.
Upgrade Priority
When upgrading your team, follow this order:
- Damage first – Clear waves faster, beat bosses sooner
- Survivability – Keep your units alive through tough waves
- Utility – Add slows, stuns, or buffs as needed
Avoid upgrading a unit just because it's new. A half-built replacement often performs worse than a fully upgraded unit you already use.
Spend Premium Resources Wisely
Premium currency and rare materials should be saved for:
- Units that are part of your main team
- Upgrades that help you clear a current wall
- Rewards that will improve many future farming runs
Avoid spending rare items just to test a unit. Test with basic investment first, then commit if the unit proves useful.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fastest way to get Divine units in Anime Squadron?
The fastest path is to focus on one Divine unit at a time. For Gogeta, pull on the banner and complete his quest line. For Broly, grind the Invasion mode repeatedly. Both require significant investment, so pick the one that fits your playstyle and current roster.
How do I beat the Broly Invasion mode?
Bring your strongest team, especially units with high single-target damage. You have 20 minutes to deal 10 million damage, so stack damage upgrades and use your best DPS units. The community recommends using Guts and Broly together for maximum output.
Is it worth buying the Battle Pass for Dante and Vergil?
Based on player reports, Dante and Vergil are strong Divine units that are exclusive to the Battle Pass. If you have the budget and need powerful units, it's a solid investment. However, they are not required to clear endgame content.
What should I do if I'm stuck on a stage?
First, identify why you're stuck. Are enemies surviving too long? Are bosses the problem? Adjust your team composition, upgrade order, and placement. If you're still stuck, farm materials for a key upgrade and try again. Remember, pushing stages is usually more valuable than farming old content.
Final Thoughts
Progressing in Anime Squadron doesn't require a perfect roster. It requires a clear plan, smart upgrades, and the discipline to avoid wasting resources on units or stages that don't help your current goal.
Use this Anime Squadron progression guide as your roadmap: push stages until you hit a wall, identify the problem, farm only what you need, upgrade your core team, and test again. With the new Update 1.0 content, there's never been a better time to jump in and start climbing.
