A guide to the Roblox tower defense game — the three Secret units and how each is actually obtained, the rarity ladder as far as it is documented, working codes, and a standing list of what nobody has published yet. Sources named throughout. Last checked 2026-08-18.
5 codes appear with identical rewards across five or six independent guides. Three of them are below; the rest, along with every source and the disagreements, are on the codes page. We have not redeemed any of them ourselves, and each row says so.
🟢Verified in game
We reproduced this ourselves in game and kept the screenshot. Date of the check is shown next to the figure.
🟡Third-party source
Taken from a named outside source, cross-checked against at least one other source where possible. We have not reproduced it ourselves.
🔵Player reports
Submitted by players. Not verified by us. Sample size and time window are shown with the figure.
No expired codes yet. For a game this new that is expected rather than impressive — nothing has had time to lapse.
Codes that are not settled
3 more codes are worth redeeming — a code that does nothing costs you a few seconds — but none of them is nailed down, and they fail in two different ways. 2 of them are printed with rewards that contradict between guides. The remaining 1 is carried by a single outlet, so nothing contradicts it — nobody else mentions it at all, which is a weaker position than a disagreement, not a stronger one.

Did these work for you?
We have not redeemed these ourselves yet, so the honest answer to "do they still work" is that we do not know. You do. One tap settles more than another round of cross-checking guides — and if you tell us whether you were past level 10, it settles the more interesting question of whether failures are expiry or the level gate.

THANKYOU!
Counts appear once there are at least 10 reports for a code — below that the number would say more about who happened to visit than about the code. Reports are not de-duplicated by player and we have not verified them, which is why they carry their own label and never get folded into the figures above.
2 codes the guides can't agree on
Every site publishes a tidy table. Put the tables side by side and theystop matching — one code has three incompatible reward listings across six outlets, and two more outlets leave it out entirely. None of the guides mention this.
GAMESPEED
3 incompatible versions in circulation, and 2 guides that omit it.
There are exactly three, each with an evolved form — which is why the in-game index shows six Secret entries and why unit counts vary between guides. Only one of the three comes from the banner.
Secret
Valcrad
Evolves into Valcrad (Unleashed) · after Alucard, Hellsing
Summoning banner. Level 10 required.
0.01% summon rate
🟡Third-party source · 2026-08-16
Roughly one pull in ten thousand. Only one outlet publishes this figure and a second repeats the same number, so treat it as one source rather than two. Pro Game Guides
Secret
Madaro
Evolves into Madaro (Edo Tensei) · after Madara, Naruto
Drops from Legend Stages, which unlock after all regular story stages.
🟡Third-party source · 2026-08-16
No published rate, but it is a reward drop rather than a banner pull — which makes it the realistic Secret for most accounts. Pro Game Guides
Secret
Cursed Lover
Evolves into Cursed Lover (Pure Love) · after Yuta, Jujutsu Kaisen
Random drop from clearing Rifts. Deeper Rift progress is said to improve the odds.

Pro Game Guides states plainly that the exact numbers remain unknown. Pro Game Guides
Rarity ladder
Secret›Mythic›Legendary›Epic
Rare, Uncommon and Common are confirmed as trait rarities. Whether units go below Epic is not documented anywhere we could find. Several guides list a full Common-to-Secret ladder for units; we have left those rungs off because we could not find a source for them. A shorter table that is right beats a longer one that is padded.
Three tier lists, and they do not agree
The published rankings line up on the three Secret units and diverge almost everywhere below. One unit sits at C on one site and S on another. We do not publish a ranking of our own — we have not played enough to earn one — so we put all three side by side instead.
If you have just started, do these five things in this order
Everything on this site in the order it actually matters on a new account — drawn from what the guides agree on, and explicit about the places they do not.
1Reach level 10 before touching a single code
Every code is gated behind account level 10, and the game gives no error when you are below it — the box clears and nothing happens. That is indistinguishable from an expired code, which is why so many players conclude the codes are dead when they are not. Play the early story stages first.
2Redeem everything in one sitting, then stop
The 5 agreed codes hand over a large share of the rerolls and gems you will see in your first week. Spending them across units you have not committed to is the most common early waste — half of all trait rolls land in the bottom band, so spreading them thin changes nothing.
3Aim at Madaro, not Valcrad
The three Secret units top every published tier list, but only one comes from the banner and it is reported at 0.01% — roughly one pull in ten thousand. Madaro drops from Legend Stages instead, which you unlock by clearing the regular story. It costs time rather than luck, and it is the Secret most accounts will actually own.
4Fill the slot you cannot fill, not the letter you can
Units occupy Ground, Hill, Support or Farm placements. Almost everything is Ground, only three documented units take Hill, and exactly one farms. A team assembled straight from the top of a tier list ends up all Ground and has no answer to what the other three types cover.
5Treat every number you read as provisional, including ours
The game is days old. The tier lists were written before anyone had cleared the late content, the trait rates come from a single source whose figures do not add up to 100%, and nobody has published summon rates beyond one unit. Where we know the number is contested, the page says so instead of picking one.
What nobody has published yet
Gaps in the public record, listed rather than quietly filled in:
Per-rarity summon rates. Only one unit rate is published anywhere (Valcrad), and nobody has posted the rates menu itself.
Whether a pity system exists for unit summons. Traits definitively have pity; units are unconfirmed.
Rift drop rates, spawn interval, entry cost, and how many rifts exist. Only the Jujutsu Kaisen rift is even named.
Whether units go below Epic rarity at all.
The correct spelling of several unit names — guides disagree on Roxi/Oxi and Shinoru/Shinaru.
Video worth the time
Four picks rather than a wall of thumbnails, each with a note on what it is actually good for. Thumbnails only until you click — the player is half a megabyte and most readers never press play.

The broadest overview we found. Useful if you have not launched the game yet and want to know what the loop actually is before committing an evening.
Best BEGINNER'S Guide To Begin Anime Origins!
iZenkai
Covers the early progression order. Worth watching for the level 10 stretch specifically, since that is the gate every code sits behind.
I Obtained the BEST TEAM in Anime Origins!

Shows a late-game roster in play. Treat the "best team" framing as one player's result rather than a settled answer — the tier lists still disagree with each other at this stage.
Is Anime Origins REALLY As Good As Everyone Says It Is?
LapisMudkip | Roblox
A sceptical take, included deliberately. Every other link on this page assumes you want to play it; this one argues about whether it is worth the time.
Questions people actually ask
Why is my code not working?
Almost always the level 10 gate, which applies to every code and gives no on-screen warning when you are below it. Codes are also case-sensitive, punctuation included — TYKaito! will not work without the exclamation mark.
When did Anime Origins come out?
No official release date has been published. Coverage started around 14–15 August 2026, which is where every "release date" you will see comes from — including ours. No outlet states an official release date. That window is inferred from when the first coverage appeared, not from anything the developer published.
Is Valcrad worth chasing?
At a reported 0.01% it is about one pull in ten thousand. Madaro drops from Legend Stages instead of the banner, which makes it the Secret unit most accounts will actually get. Build around that one.
Where do new codes come from?
The official Discord. There is no Trello board — one outlet checked and said so explicitly, and we found nothing to contradict it.
