If you want to progress further in Anime Squadron, just optimizing your unit loadout is not going to cut it. In many cases, you won’t even be able to use higher rarity units in the game if you don’t have perks unlocked. Yes, perks are one of the most important aspects of the game to improve how you play the rounds. Here is everything you need to know about perks in Anime Squadron, their upgrades, and which one to level up first.
What Are Perks in Anime Squadron?
In Anime Squadron, perks are upgrades that improve your Maximum Yen, Yen Generation, and Health of base when you start a round. The higher your stats are for each, the stronger your overall plays will be. Each upgrade requires gold, which is easily obtainable by redeeming Anime Squadron codes.
Anime Squadron Perks Upgrade Price and Stat Boosts
Now that you know how perks work, here is what each upgrade does and the amount of gold you need to spend to get them in Anime Squadron:
- Maximum Yen: Maximum Yen increases how much max Yen you can make in a round. The more you have, the higher the chance you have of spawning the high-tier and costly units. So, if you are struggling to use that 500+ Yen unit in Anime Squadron, this is the perk you need to upgrade. For each upgrade, you get a +0.5K Max Yen increase by spending +0.5K Gold.
- Yen Generation: If your units are dying easily and leveling up a unit mid-round can save you, then you need more Yen. That’s where the Yen Gen perk comes in. This improves your Yen generation per second. For each upgrade, you need to spend +750 Gold in return for +15 Yen/s.
- Health: In early levels of Squadron or Raid modes, your base may look bleak due to low HP. Upgrade the Health perk to solve that problem. For each upgrade, you spend +5K Gold for +1 base stock.
Here is a quick example of perks and their Gold cost per level:
| 1 | Gold needed: 500Boost: 500 Yen | Gold needed: 750Boost: 15 Yen/ Second | Gold needed: 5KBoost: 1 |
