Anime Squadron Resources
Anime Squadron resources decide how fast a squad grows after the first few clears. Gems, Gold, Trait Shards, Trait Rerolls or cubes, Perfect Cubes, Stat Cubes, Zeni, and EXP all connect to summons, trait rolls, gear crafting, perk upgrades, and progression. Separate spend-now currencies from resources that are better saved for keeper units, crafted gear, or permanent account upgrades.

Anime Squadron resources include the currencies and consumable items spent on summons, traits, stat rerolls, gear, perks, and unit progression. Each resource answers a different spending question: temporary unit, keeper unit, crafted gear, or permanent upgrade.
What Counts as a Resource
A resource is a currency, shard, cube, reroll item, or progression item that gets spent outside a single battle decision. Gems and summon-related currency affect how many units the account can chase. Gold connects to gear and perk spending. Trait Shards, rerolls, Perfect Cubes, and Stat Cubes connect to unit trait and stat decisions. EXP connects to unit growth. Rare item spending is clearer when the item tooltip matches the current upgrade target.
How Resources Shape Progress
Common resources unlock early progress. Rare rerolls and cubes become risky when they go onto a unit that will leave the lineup soon. Trait resources have the clearest value after a keeper unit is chosen. Gold has competing sinks when gear crafting and perk upgrades both need it. EXP is strongest when it pushes a main unit through a clear breakpoint.
How to Compare Resources
Compare resources by sink, scarcity, and timing. Summon currency has value when the lineup lacks a core damage unit. Trait currency belongs on units that stay in the squad. A crafting material or Gold cost has value when gear gives a missing stat. A permanent upgrade resource affects future runs instead of one character. The strongest spend fixes the next blocked system, not the item with the loudest reward text.
How Resources Connect to Other Systems
Resources connect every Anime Squadron system. Units use summon currency, EXP, traits, gear, and evolution-related materials. Traits use shards, rerolls, and cubes. Gear uses Gold and materials. Perks are permanent-style upgrades with Gold costs. Game modes and acts feed different rewards, so the resource name only makes sense after it is tied to the system it upgrades.
When Spending Makes Sense
A resource is worth spending when its name, use, rarity, farm route, and upgrade target all line up. Rare items carry more risk when they can also feed a stronger later upgrade. Code rewards and event rewards change fast, so temporary availability stays separate from the item's normal role.
