The two currencies and what they do
Anime Fighting Simulator runs on two currencies. Yen pays for stat multiplier upgrades and Class ranks. Chikara Shards buy Specials, roll Champions, and unlock the Premium Fighting Pass and Auras. The table above summarizes every source. Because they fund different upgrades, you usually want a steady flow of both rather than hoarding one.
Farming Chikara Shards efficiently
Chikara comes from four core sources, so stack them simultaneously:
- Golden crates — scattered across every Dimension. Grab them constantly while you travel; flying makes this almost free. See Chikara crate locations.
- Passive income — you bank 5 Chikara per minute just by being in-game, so stay logged in while training.
- Bosses — every boss kill pays Chikara that scales with your Class. Repeatable boss runs are one of the best sources.
- Tournament wins — winning matches in the Tournament Dimension awards Chikara plus competitive points.
Stack the x2 Chikara gamepass and any code rewards on top, and always farm during 2x or 4x events for a huge multiplier on everything above.
Farming Yen efficiently
Yen is mostly a passive game, and the lever that matters most is your Class. Every Class rank raises your Yen-per-minute, and that compounds: more Yen buys more multiplier upgrades, which raise your stats, which unlock the next Class, which raises your income again. So the priority is clear — meet the stat requirements and rank up your Class at Wukong as soon as you can.
Beyond passive income, quests from Boom and boss kills both pay Yen that also scales with Class. Selling spare Champions for Chikara and redeeming Yen codes after a Class rank-up (since the reward scales with Class) round out your income.
A simple farming routine
- Redeem all active codes.
- Equip your best Champion and a strong Fruit or Special.
- AFK or actively train in the highest training spot you can reach to push stats toward the next Class.
- Between training, fly a crate-and-boss loop: grab golden crates and clear a repeatable boss.
- Rank up your Class the instant you qualify.
- Time heavy sessions around 2x/4x events.
Follow this loop and both currencies climb together. For the bigger picture on what to buy in which order, see the progression roadmap.
