Anime Origins starter team: Beginner Setup Guide

A strong beginner lineup should solve several problems at once. Story stages require dependable damage, while harder stages also reward healing, crowd control, status effects, and reliable income. The recommended starting setup uses six roles rather than stacking damage units immediately.

The lineup is built around Trunks, Adon, Inumaki, Rukia, Udu, and Leorio. Together, these units create a flexible foundation for normal story progression and provide tools for difficult stages. The most important feature is role coverage: each unit contributes something different, so the team does not depend on a single carry.

This team is not meant to remain unchanged forever. It is a progression template. As soon as a better unit appears, compare its role with the unit it would replace. A Mythic DPS should generally replace Trunks, while a Mythic healer should take Udu’s slot. The same principle applies to bleed and control units.

The recommended starter team works because every slot has a practical purpose. New players often focus exclusively on attack power, but story progression becomes more consistent when the lineup can control enemy movement and recover from pressure.

Trunks is the simplest damage slot to understand. He gives the team a dependable source of offense while you build toward stronger banner units. Adon complements him by applying bleed, which adds pressure beyond direct attacks. This combination is more useful than two units that perform exactly the same function.

Inumaki and Rukia form the team’s control layer. Slow, pushback, freeze, and possible stun effects can delay enemies and improve the value of every damage placement. Crowd control is especially helpful when a stage includes dense waves or enemies that need to remain on the path longer.

Udu is a key stabilizer for new accounts. The available guidance identifies him as one of the strongest non-Mythic healing options, making him a practical choice while your roster is still developing. Leorio fills the economy role, and his ascensions improve income. That makes duplicates valuable even when he is not contributing direct damage.

Follow a role-first progression plan instead of spending every resource as soon as it becomes available. The aim is to clear story content, strengthen the account, and prepare replacements before the original lineup reaches its limits.

The most important transition is moving from a complete starter team to a specialized account. A new Mythic does not automatically belong in the lineup if it duplicates an existing role while another weakness remains unresolved.

Banner decisions should support the team’s weakest role. The early goal is not to collect every available unit; it is to secure a stronger damage dealer or a meaningful upgrade to an existing function.

Damage units deserve early attention because they shorten waves and make progression more comfortable. Strong bleed units are also valuable because they complement direct DPS instead of competing with it. Utility units can be excellent, but new players generally benefit more from damage than from support-only additions.

The recommended replacement framework is straightforward:

• A Mythic DPS is a natural replacement for Trunks.
• A Mythic bleed unit can replace Adon.
• A Mythic healer can replace Udu.
• A stronger crowd-control unit can replace Inumaki or Rukia.
• Keep Leorio until the account no longer needs his economy contribution.

Gold is another major early-game consideration. Avoid spending Gold casually on trade rules, perfect stat prisms, or ordinary stat prisms when the account still needs evolution materials. The early economy can feel restrictive, and saving resources gives you more flexibility when a valuable unit arrives.

Spend from resource shops according to immediate need. Fusion chips, remnants, or food may be more practical purchases when they directly support an active upgrade. The correct purchase depends on your current materials, so avoid buying an item simply because it is available.

Use the following checklist to track the account’s transition from a basic roster to a more specialized lineup. The starter team should remain functional while upgrades are collected, so there is no need to remove a unit prematurely.

A balanced account can also look for synergistic combinations. Goku and Vegeta are described as pairing well together, while some units specialize in boss damage, critical hits, brittle, summons, or hybrid damage types. These options become more relevant after the first complete team is established.

For example, a player who obtains a strong boss killer may use that unit for challenge content while preserving the balanced lineup for regular story stages. Likewise, a high-quality utility unit can become more valuable in advanced content than in the opening stages, where raw damage usually has the greatest impact.
