Anime Zero XP Farming Guide (October 2026) 118K XP/Hr to Level 500

The fastest way to level up in Anime Zero is Story Mode on Nightmare. Solo timed runs show it pays roughly 118,800 XP per hour, far ahead of Hard, as long as you clear in about two minutes. If Nightmare drags, drop to Hard. Here’s the quick ranking I’d follow on the way to Level 500.

Best Way to Farm XP in Anime Zero

Story Nightmare vs Hard

Nightmare pays 4,390 XP per run, but the rate only holds if you stay near two minutes. If you die or bosses stall you past three or four minutes, the hourly rate collapses and Hard wins. My rule: farm Hard until your clears feel effortless, then push Nightmare, and fall back the moment survival slows you down. Medium and Easy only make sense while your build is still weak.

Why Nightmare Wins?

Nightmare takes only 26 more seconds per run than Hard but pays about 2.1x the XP (4,390 vs 2,065). Medium versus Easy shows the same pattern: 15 extra seconds for nearly double XP (888 vs 489). Higher difficulty barely adds time, so always judge stages by XP per hour, not XP per run. These figures come from solo runs on one build, so your rate will vary with damage.

Are Raids Worth It for XP?

Not for leveling. Spirit’s Bathtub gives 65,000 XP per hour and Shadow Gate only 35,100, both below Story Hard. Run them for evolution and crafting materials instead. Shadow Gate also caps you at 10 attempts, refilling every three hours, so treat it as a material supply.

Infinite Mode for AFK Farming

Infinite Mode pays the lowest active XP rate, so don’t grind it by hand. Use it when you’re away: loop an Endless Waves lobby on Nightmare with an auto-clicker on the Retry button while your character auto-casts. On mobile, set several auto-clicker points or use a cloud Android device. Slow, but free progress. Use third-party tools at your own risk.

How to Clear Stages Faster?

• Skill Tree: Take Attack first (up to +60% damage), then Critical (up to +15% crit chance).
• Traits: Deadeye suits long runs, Supernova suits fast farming. Fortune adds +20% EXP, worth it once clears are already quick.
• Accessories: Fill every slot. Blast Archer Crown is a top Head pick.
• Evolve or Awaken: Unlock the Ultimate to shorten boss fights.
• AoE: Herd enemies together before casting.
• Teamwork: Bring a high-damage partner to cut boss time.

Pro Tip: Traits are tied to a specific weapon, so only reroll on the weapon you’ll actually farm with. Fortune is easy to land (12.63% roll chance), but I’d chase Deadeye or Supernova first if your clears are slow.

Best Route to Level 500

1. Redeem active Anime Zero codes for free Rolls and Trait Rerolls.
2. Fill both weapon slots and every accessory slot.
3. Buy Attack, then Critical, in the Skill Tree.
4. Farm Easy or Medium only until Hard feels comfortable.
5. Move to Nightmare once clears stay near two minutes.
6. Evolve your main weapon and unlock its Ultimate.
7. Switch to Infinite Mode AFK whenever you’re offline.

Milestone rewards unlock every five levels, and your rank changes every 25 levels. Level 500 (Immortal III) pays 5M Coins, 500 Trait Rerolls, 30,000 Gems, 7 Suncores, 7 Forbidden Fruits, and 18 Magic Pendants. Claim them from the Milestones button in the left menu.

Common Mistakes

• Farming Nightmare while dying or stalling on bosses.
• Running raids purely for XP.
• Skipping damage upgrades; faster clears raise your XP rate.
• Rolling traits on a weapon you plan to replace.
