Units are the heart of Become an Anime Billionaire. Every anime-inspired character you collect generates passive income, and your goal is to build the strongest possible roster of money-makers. This guide covers everything about the unit system: how rolling works, what rarity tiers mean, how fusion upgrades your characters, and which strategies help you build an unstoppable base. The mid-page video follows a full zero-to-rich progression loop so you can see unit placement and income ramps in practice.

How rolling works

Rolling is the primary method of obtaining new units. You spend in-game currency to receive a random character from the pool. The outcome is determined by rarity-weighted odds:

  • Common and Uncommon — The most frequent results. Low income but cheap to roll.
  • Rare — A step up with noticeably better income generation.
  • Epic — Strong units that form the backbone of most mid-game bases.
  • Legendary — High-income characters that are significantly rarer.
  • Mythic — The rarest tier with the highest income rates. Seeing a mythic roll animation is a cause for celebration.
  • Exclusive — Special units from codes, events, or rebirth milestones. These often have unique income multipliers.

Rolling costs scale with the quality of the roll table. Premium rolls cost more but have better odds for higher rarities. Check the Tier List before spending currency so you know which units are worth chasing.

Unit income mechanics

Every unit has a base income rate measured in cash per minute. This rate is influenced by several factors:

FactorEffect
Rarity tierHigher rarity = higher base income
Fusion levelEach fusion multiplies income
Rebirth multiplierPermanent boost from rebirths
Totem bonusesPassive boosts from map crates
Base placementSome positions may have bonuses

Your total income is the sum of all units in your base, modified by your rebirth multiplier and active totems. This means even a small improvement per unit adds up significantly across a full base.

Fusion and the merge machine

The merge machine (located on the map) lets you combine five identical units into one upgraded version. Here is how fusion works:

  1. Collect five copies of the same unit.
  2. Go to the merge machine area.
  3. Insert all five units.
  4. Pay the gem cost.
  5. Receive one fused unit with boosted income.

Each fusion level increases the unit’s income multiplier. A unit can theoretically be fused multiple times if you keep collecting duplicates. The gem cost increases with each fusion level, so plan your merges carefully.

Fusion priority tips:

  • Fuse your highest-rarity units first for the biggest income boost.
  • A fully fused Epic unit can outperform an unfused Legendary.
  • Do not waste gems fusing Common or Uncommon units; the return on investment is too low.

Rebirth and unit progression

Rebirthing resets your units and cash but grants permanent multipliers and rebirth points. Some units are only accessible after specific rebirth milestones:

  • Rebirth 1 — Unlocks access to the first tier of rebirth-exclusive units.
  • Rebirth 5 — Opens higher-tier exclusive characters with better income rates.
  • Rebirth 10+ — Endgame exclusive units with the highest possible income multipliers.

Rebirth points can be invested in:

  • Cash multiplier (increases all income)
  • Offline income boost
  • Roll luck (slightly improves rarity odds)
  • Gem generation rate

For detailed rebirth timing advice, see the Getting Started guide.

Base placement strategy

How you arrange units in your base matters. Here are key principles:

  • Fill every slot — Empty slots produce zero income. Always have units placed.
  • Highest income first — Place your best units in the most prominent slots if position bonuses exist.
  • Rotate for events — During events with income boosts, swap in units that benefit most from the bonus.
  • Plan for fusion — Keep duplicate units in storage until you have five for the merge machine.

How to get units

There are multiple ways to obtain units in Become an Anime Billionaire:

MethodCostBest For
Basic rollIn-game cashEarly game units
Premium rollGemsHigher rarity chances
Friendship Lucky BlocksFree from codesRandom units at no cost
Rebirth unlocksRebirth milestoneExclusive high-stat units
EventsVariesLimited-time characters
Merge machine5 duplicates + gemsUpgrading existing units

The most efficient approach combines all methods: roll when you have currency, redeem every code, save lucky blocks for strategic moments, and fuse duplicates at the merge machine.

Managing your roster

As your collection grows, you need to make decisions about which units to keep and which to replace:

  1. Check the tier list regularly — The Tier List ranks every unit by income. Remove the lowest-ranked units when you get better ones.
  2. Keep fusion materials — Even low-tier duplicates are valuable as merge machine fuel.
  3. Do not hoard weak units — If a unit is not in your base and not a fusion ingredient, it is wasting space.
  4. Track event units — Limited-time event characters may become valuable collectors items.
