Anime Capture Test Servers: First Look
Anime Capture is an upcoming game from the same creators behind Anime Astral. The test servers are currently available to a select group of content creators for early feedback and bug testing. The game combines action RPG combat with a gacha-style capturing mechanic, set across various anime-inspired islands and villages.
Video Highlights:
- Early gameplay walkthrough of Pirate Village starting zone
- Demonstration of Auto Catch and Auto Sell mechanics
- Avatar equipping and crafting system overview
- Gacha machine and fruit token features preview
- World exploration and enemy difficulty scaling showcase
The test server build provides a solid look at the core loop: defeat enemies, earn diamonds, capture stronger units, and progress through increasingly difficult zones. The game features a clean UI with auto-play options that make grinding efficient once properly configured.
This build is an early test version. Expect visual glitches, incomplete areas, and potential balance changes before the official launch. Mechanics described here may change significantly.
Core Combat and Capturing Mechanics
The fundamental gameplay loop in Anime Capture centers on defeating enemies in the open world, then choosing to either sell them for diamonds or capture them to join your team. Each enemy has a specific capture chance and diamond cost, making resource management a key skill.
Enemy Types and Capture Rates
| Enemy Type | Capture Chance | Sell Value (Diamonds) | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common (Oups) | ~50% | 50 | Low |
| Uncommon | ~40% | 100-200 | Low-Medium |
| Sanji | ~40% | 500 | Medium |
| Zord | ~35% | 500+ | Medium-High |
| Lof | ~30% | 750+ | High |
| Mark | ~25% | 1000+ | High |
| Pennels | ~20% | 1500+ | Very High |
Capturing an enemy is not guaranteed. Even after paying the diamond cost, the capture attempt has a percentage-based success rate. Failed captures consume diamonds without yielding a unit, so always maintain a diamond reserve.
Combat Features
Auto Click
- Automatic combat attacks
- Targets nearest enemy in range
- Toggle in settings menu
- Essential for passive farming
Auto Catch
- Automatically captures defeated enemies
- Configurable by rarity tier
- Consumes diamonds per attempt
- Can be toggled per enemy type
Auto Sell
- Automatically sells captured enemies
- Configurable by rarity tier
- Keeps inventory clean
- Protects Mythics and Legendaries
The attack range in the current build is notably small, requiring precise positioning to hit enemies. However, standing between two enemy spawn points allows simultaneous farming of both, significantly increasing diamond income per hour.
Avatar System and Equipment Guide
Avatars are the primary progression system in Anime Capture. When you capture an enemy, they can be equipped as an avatar to boost your combat stats. The inventory allows a maximum of three equipped avatars at any time, with an "Equip Best" option for quick optimization.
Avatar Progression Table
| Avatar Source | Base Cost | Craft Requirement | Bonus Type | Slot |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oups (Common) | 50 Diamonds | 10x Common Oups | Damage Boost | 1 |
| Sanji (Uncommon) | 500 Diamonds | 10x Uncommon Sanji | 1.5x Multiplier | 2 |
| Zord (Rare) | 750 Diamonds | 10x Rare Zord | Damage + Speed | 3 |
| Lof (Epic) | 1000+ Diamonds | 10x Epic Lof | High Damage | 1-3 |
| Mark (Legendary) | 1500+ Diamonds | 10x Legendary Mark | Massive Boost | 1-3 |
To unlock an advanced avatar, you need to collect 10 copies of the same enemy type through capturing. Once you have 10, visit the crafting NPC to combine them into an advanced version with significantly better stats. Always turn off Auto Sell for the target enemy while farming for crafting materials.
Equipping and Managing Avatars
The inventory system has a hard cap of three avatars. When you capture a new unit while at maximum capacity, you must first unequip and delete an existing avatar before equipping the new one. The "Equip Best for Damage" button automatically selects your strongest available avatars, streamlining the optimization process.
Avatar souls are a separate resource used to increase avatar levels, providing additional stat growth beyond the base bonuses from equipping.
Diamond Farming and Resource Management
Diamonds serve as the primary currency in Anime Capture, required for capturing enemies, opening gacha machines, and progressing through the game. Efficient diamond farming is critical for steady advancement.
Diamond Income Sources
| Method | Income Rate | Requirements | Recommended For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Auto Sell Commons | ~1.2K per enemy | Auto Sell ON | Early game |
| Dual Spawn Farming | ~2.4K per cycle | Position between spawns | Mid game |
| Quest Rewards | Variable | Complete defeat objectives | All stages |
| Feats Rewards | One-time | Defeat milestone counts | Bonus income |
| Drop Potions | Temporary boost | Activate from inventory | Farming sessions |
Position your character between two enemy spawn points with Auto Click, Auto Catch (Commons only), and Auto Sell (Commons only) all enabled. This generates approximately 5,000+ diamonds per minute with minimal manual input. Turn off Auto Sell when farming for crafting materials.
Resource Types Overview
Primary Resources
- Diamonds: Main currency for captures
- Gems: Premium currency from quests
- Fruit Tokens: Used in gacha machine
- Named Keys: Special quest rewards
Consumables
- Drop Potions: Boost drop rates temporarily
- Avatar Souls: Increase avatar levels
- Craft Materials: Enemy-specific items
- World Auras: Unlocked by defeat counts
The gacha machine costs 10 fruit tokens per roll and offers various buffs and items. Auto roll is available for bulk spinning. The best observed buff from the gacha provides a 4x damage multiplier, making it a worthwhile investment for progression.
Step-by-Step Progression Guide
Starting Out (Pirate Village)
Begin by defeating Oups enemies in Pirate Village. Enable Auto Click immediately. Keep Auto Sell on for Commons to build up your initial diamond supply. Complete the first quest to defeat 30 Oups for early rewards including gems and a Named Key.
First Avatar Acquisition
Once you accumulate 50 diamonds, capture your first Oups. Equip it as an avatar using the "Equip Best" button. Continue farming Commons with Auto Sell enabled until you reach approximately 500 diamonds for your first Uncommon capture.
Crafting Advanced Avatars
Turn off Auto Sell for your target enemy type. Capture 10 copies of the same enemy (for example, 10 Sanji). Return to the crafting NPC and combine them into an Advanced Sanji avatar. Equip the advanced version for a significant damage boost.
Zone Progression
With upgraded avatars, move to higher-difficulty zones. Be cautious of water hazards that cause instant death. Defeat the required number of enemies to unlock World Auras, which provide passive bonuses. Target enemies in the millions of strength require sustained farming.
Gacha and Optimization
Spend accumulated Fruit Tokens at the gacha machine. Use Auto Roll for efficiency. Aim for damage multiplier buffs. Rebalance your avatar loadout as you capture stronger units, always maintaining the three-slot maximum with your best available options.
The avatar inventory has a strict maximum of three slots. Capturing a new unit while at capacity requires you to unequip and delete an existing avatar first. Always verify which avatar you are deleting to avoid losing valuable units.
Quests, Feats, and World Exploration
The quest system in Anime Capture provides structured objectives that guide players through progressively harder content. Quests typically involve defeating specific numbers of enemies, with rewards scaling accordingly.
Quest Progression Table
| Quest Objective | Enemy Target | Quantity | Key Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pirate Village I | Oups | 30 | Gems, Named Key |
| Pirate Village II | Sanji | 25 | Gems, Drop Potion |
| Pirate Village III | Zord | 20 | Gems, Fruit Tokens |
| Pirate Village IV | Lof | 15 | Gems, Avatar Souls |
| Pirate Village V | Mark | 10 | Gems, Craft Material |
| Pirate Village VI | Pennels | 5 | Gems, Rare Item |
Defeating a certain number of enemies in each zone unlocks World Auras, passive bonuses that enhance your character's performance in that area. These auras stack with avatar bonuses and gacha buffs for compounded stat increases.
Exploration Notes
The game world features multiple interconnected zones with varying enemy difficulty. Early zones contain enemies with strength values in the thousands, while later areas feature enemies with 50 million to 750 million strength, requiring substantial avatar upgrades and optimized loadouts.
Water hazards cause instant death, so careful navigation is required when crossing between islands. Some areas appear to be accessible only through specific jumping mechanics or pathways that are not immediately obvious.
Test Server Progression Checklist:
- Enable Auto Click, Auto Catch, and Auto Sell in settings
- Capture first avatar and equip for damage boost
- Complete all Pirate Village quests (30 Oups through 5 Pennels)
- Craft first Advanced Avatar (collect 10 copies)

Settings and Automation Configuration
Proper configuration of the automation settings is the single most impactful optimization in Anime Capture. Understanding when to toggle each setting can dramatically improve farming efficiency.
Automation Settings Matrix
| Setting | When to Enable | When to Disable | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Auto Click | Always | Never (no downside) | Passive combat |
| Auto Catch (Common) | General farming | Never needed | Passive captures |
| Auto Catch (Uncommon) | Material farming | Diamond conservation | Targeted captures |
| Auto Sell (Common) | Diamond farming | Crafting preparation | Steady income |
| Auto Sell (Uncommon) | Rapid farming | Avatar collection | Faster income |
| Auto Sell (Epic+) | Not recommended | Always | Protects valuables |
| Auto Claim | Always | Never | Automatic rewards |
When farming 10 copies of an enemy for crafting, follow this sequence: First, enable Auto Sell for all tiers and farm diamonds until you have enough for 10+ capture attempts. Then disable Auto Sell for the target enemy and enable Auto Catch for that tier. Monitor your inventory count until you reach 10 copies.
Key Configuration Tips
Diamond Conservation Mode
- Disable all Auto Catch
- Enable Auto Sell only
- Farm passively without spending
- Use when building diamond reserve
Active Material Farming
- Disable Auto Sell for target
- Enable Auto Catch for target
- Keep Auto Click running
- Monitor inventory count manually
The auto claim feature ensures that quest rewards, feat rewards, and other bonuses are automatically collected without manual intervention. This should remain enabled at all times to prevent missing rewards during extended farming sessions.
