How to play AniGame
A practical first-session guide: join, collect a card, win your first battles and plan what comes next.
Key takeaways
- Practice for free in the Learn AniGame tutorial, then run
/startin Discord. - Inventory numbers point to positions in your inventory. Check them again after your collection changes.
- Floor battles use your single selected card; raids use the team assigned to raid mode.
What is AniGame?
AniGame is a free-to-play anime JRPG Discord bot. Collect character cards and skins, develop battle cards and teams, clear floors, raid with friends and trade with other players. You play in Discord; this website provides references and companion tools.
You do not need a perfect team or a rare collection to begin learning. Your first goal is to understand your inventory, select a usable card and try a floor battle. Optional donations support the project, but you can start playing without paying.
Practice with AniChibi before playing
The free Learn AniGame tutorial lets you try your first adventure before opening Discord. AniChibi guides you step by step through .start, claiming a spawn, .drop, .inventory, .info, selecting a card, exploring locations and floors, battling and opening a practice pack.
No sign-in is required. This tutorial is a simulation: commands, cards, gold, battles and rewards have no impact on your AniGame profile. You can return to it whenever you want a refresher.
1. Invite AniGame and start your adventure
Join a server that already has AniGame or use the official invite to add it to a server you manage. Play in a channel where the bot is available, and select AniGame's commands in Discord's slash picker.
Checklist
Commands to try
/startRegister for AniGame and follow onboarding and any verification prompts.
/profileView your profile or another player's public profile. Omit the user for your own.
/help name:inventoryBrowse categories or look up a command's full name. Use slash options, or send .help followed by a command name with your server's prefix.
2. Collect and protect your first cards
Open /inventory to see what you own. Use /info card_num:1 to inspect the card currently in inventory position 1. If you do not yet have a card to use, check /drop when available and follow the drop's claim controls, or inspect the bot's available starter and reward prompts.
A character can have many owned copies. Inventory numbers, global card IDs and skin IDs are not interchangeable. Recheck the inventory after sorting or changing your collection.
Playerusedinfo- Inventory number and name. The title shows the inventory number and the card's name or nickname. 🌟 means it is a favorite.
- Copies in existence. How many copies of this character exist at this rarity and evolution. Shown for Super Rare and Ultra Rare cards.
- Talent. What the card's talent does in battle.
- Card image. The card with its rarity stars, level and evolution.
- Global card ID. This copy's global card ID, after the card's quote. The arrows below step through your cards in inventory order.
- Section menu. Switch between Overview, Stats and Progression in Discord.
Commands to try
/inventoryBrowse your owned cards. Use named slash options or prefix filters for character, rarity, series, element, talent and progression.
/info card_num:1Inspect an owned card by inventory number. Check its identity, progress and status before using it.
.favorite add 1Browse, add or remove favorites. Favorite valuable copies before using sacrifice commands.
/dropCreate a personal card drop when ready. Only you can claim it; use the resulting drop controls.
3. Try a floor battle
For ordinary floor progression, your single selected card matters; creating a saved team does not replace this selection. Browse /location and /floor to see where you are and what is unlocked.
A loss is a reason to inspect the card and encounter, not to spend every upgrade resource immediately. If the card cannot be used, /cardcheck explains its current status. Check /stamina and /cooldowns when an action is not ready.
- Select
Choose a usable card from your inventory.
/select card_num:1 - Check the floor
See where you are and what is unlocked.
/floor - Battle once
Fight a single battle first.
/battle - Read the result
Did the card survive? Did its element and talent suit this opponent?
Commands to try
/select card_num:1Open the battle-card picker or select an inventory number directly. Single-card selection is separate from saved teams.
/floorBrowse or travel to an unlocked floor in your current location. Inspect the encounter first.
/battleFight the current floor with your selected card. Start with one battle and inspect the result before using repeated battles.
/cardcheck card_id:1Check why an owned card can or cannot be used. Inventory lookup uses its position; global lookup uses its persistent card ID.
4. Prepare before raiding with friends
Raids are cooperative encounters with a lobby, preparation stage and active battle. Before joining, ask which difficulty the group is playing and whether you meet its requirements. Create and inspect a saved team, assign it to raid mode, then tell the leader when you are ready.
Use /raid lobbies to inspect public groups or join with a code a friend shares. Do not mark ready until you have checked the boss, team and available resources. The raid guide walks through both participant and leader responsibilities.
Commands to try
/raid helpRead the bot's raid help and current instructions.
/raid lobbiesBrowse public lobbies and check their difficulty and requirements before joining.
/team assignedCheck the team assigned to each battle mode before an encounter.
5. Explore the player-driven economy
Browse before buying. Compare the exact character, rarity, evolution, ascension, skin and usability of a card. A low price for a different copy is not automatically a bargain for your team.
Market purchases use global card IDs; auctions use auction IDs; adding trade cards uses inventory numbers. Prefer /mk buy for its confirmation step. In a direct trade, inspect both sides again after any change and only confirm the offer you intend to accept.
Commands to try
Your next-session checklist
Pick a small goal: clear an unlocked floor, improve one useful card, find a favorite character or prepare for a friend's raid. Saving toward a specific goal is easier to evaluate than buying or upgrading at random.
