Anime Stars Heroes & Builds: the Full Roster, Rates, and Gear Layers

Every Anime Stars Hero (16, Rare Hawk to Secret Kaizen) with role, element, weapon and banner rates, plus the relic, accessory, aura, and passive layers that turn a roster into a build — checked 2026-10-03.

Quick answer: the roster and what to chase

Anime Stars' Heroes span six documented rarities. The realistic early core is Hawk (the only Tank) and Huvia (Rare, both appear as 72.2% banner fillers), upgrading through the Epic and Legendary Supports until a Mythic (0.7%) lands; the Secret line — Kaizen, Magata, Rimule, Subuna (0.07%, Secret pity by summon 500) — is the endgame ceiling, and each Secret Evolves via Dungeon-only materials. But a build is more than the Hero: relics, accessories, weapon auras, rolled passives, and Champion multipliers are all published systems with their own odds, and they decide whether a roster performs at its ceiling. Every table on this page quotes the official Anime Stars wiki with the checked date attached.

Gear layers

What turns a Hero into a build

Each layer is an independent published system — plan them in this order, cheapest first.

Relics (16, max level 80)

Six Mythic relics lead the list (see table); eight Legendary and two Epic relics sit below them. Legendary shells are crafted in Shadow City from Demon Castle fragments, and relics level up with Relic Essence I–V.

Accessories (4 slots per hero)

Head, Torso, Arm, and Leg pieces with a fixed main stat plus rolls from a shared pool (Critical Chance, Critical Damage, Attack Speed, Skill Damage, Ultimate Damage, Luck). Named sets include Golden Knight, Demon King, Amethyst Paladin, and Jade Sentry.

Weapons and auras

Swords and Gauntlets roll on the weapon banners (70% Basic → 0.05% Secret), and Weapon Aura Shards from World Bosses roll visual-plus-stat auras from Violet Pulse (40%) up to Crimson Dominion (+95% Damage, 0.02%).

Mounts

Dragon, Nuen, and Clay are Exclusive/Epic flying mounts at ×3 speed; the Rare Osno (×3 speed) is a one-time Dragon Wish reward.

Weapon Trails

Snow Village's Weapon Trails system (10T Coins to unlock) raises Attack +5% per level up to level 100 across eight trails from Wind (Common) to Moon (Star).

Mythic relic	Documented bonus
Binding Vow	+12% Power, +14% Attack, +6% Attack Speed
Black Flash	+6% Critical Chance, +34% Critical Damage
Celestial Shell	+12% Power, +12% Attack, +24% Critical Damage
Innate Domain	+22% Skill Damage, +28% Ultimate Damage
Sovereign Shell	+14% Attack, +16% Skill Damage, +20% Ultimate Damage
Zenith Shell	+14% Skill Damage, +18% Ultimate Damage

Source: the official wiki's equipment page (checked 2026-10-03); eight Legendary and two Epic relics complete the 16-relic list there. Accessory sets include Golden Knight, Demon King, Amethyst Paladin, and Jade Sentry.

Growth systems

Passives, evolution, and what is undocumented

Rolled passives

Hero Passives (vault unlocks at 150B Coins) roll eleven lines from Determined (+6% Attack, 40%) to Forbidden Arts and Limitless (0.045% each) and three Star passives around 0.0033%, with a soft-pity at 5K spins. Champion Passives roll in three rarities (14% / 5% / 1%). Fighter Passives in Shadow City add a third layer for 3.5B Coins.

Ascension and Evolution

Secret Heroes ascend and then evolve: Evolution Shards (1%), Crystals (0.5%), Essences (0.25%), Cores (0.1%), and Sigils (0.03%) drop only from Dungeon rooms, and Update 5 documented Hero Evolution with 1.5x boosts. Shiny Champions (Update 2) multiply a Champion's value by 1.5x.

What this page does not document

Per-hero skill trees, max-level stat blocks, and Ascension costs are published on the official wiki's individual hero pages but are not republished here; element damage multipliers are not published anywhere official, so none is claimed. When the roster grows (Update 6 added seven Champions to Clover Kingdom's pool), re-check the official wiki before trusting a roster count.

Method

How this page is sourced

Anime Stars' developer publishes an official in-game-data wiki, so this site treats that wiki and the Roblox game page as its fact sources and attaches the checked date to every table. Anything the official wiki does not publish — code rewards, per-hero stat tables, gamepass prices — is listed as undocumented instead of guessed, and update-sensitive numbers are re-checked after every named update (the game shipped 15 logged updates between August 16 and September 29, 2026).

FAQ

Hero and build questions

How many Heroes are in Anime Stars?

Sixteen, per the official wiki's hero listing checked 2026-10-03: two Rare (Hawk, Huvia), two Epic (Garuo, Sabuha), three Legendary (Gojiro, Jiro, Roben), four Mythic (Birus, NaoFume, Noeve, Vilgamesh), four Secret (Kaizen, Magata, Rimule, Subuna), and one Exclusive (Sun Jin Wu). The roster grows with updates — Update 3 added Subuna, Update 0.5 added NaoFume.

What is the best Hero in Anime Stars?

The Secret line is the documented ceiling: Kaizen, Magata, Rimule, and Subuna all carry the Evolves tag, and Secret Heroes evolve further with Evolution materials that drop only in Dungeon rooms (Shard 1% → Sigil 0.03%), for 1.5x boosts per Update 5. At every other budget, the Mythics (0.7% banner rate) are the strongest commonly-owned tier.

What are the summon rates and pity?

All three hero banners roll Rare 72.2%, Epic 22%, Legendary 5%, Mythic 0.7%, Secret 0.07%, with Mythic guaranteed by summon 150 and Secret by summon 500. Weapon banners run Basic 70% → Secret 0.05% with pity at 100/400. Subuna's pity was specifically lowered to 12K summons in Update 3.5.

How do hero builds work outside of stats?

A build is the Hero plus five documented layers: a relic (16 exist, six Mythic, cap level 80), four accessory slots with rolled substats, a weapon with a rolled aura (40% Violet Pulse down to 0.02% Crimson Dominion), a Hero Passive (11 lines, rolled at the 150B-Coin vault), and a Champion multiplier (x1.05 → x14).

Does element or weapon choice matter?

Every Hero has a documented element (Water or Fire) and weapon (Sword or Glove), and weapon banners roll gear for each weapon type. The official wiki publishes no element damage-multiplier table, so treat element as build identity and weapon as the gear pipeline — not as a claimed power ranking.
