Anime Galaxies Update 1

Update 1 is the current live season for Anime Galaxies by Champions TD on Roblox. The experience title reads Anime Galaxies | UPDATE 1. Place ID stays 83869074416117 (universeId 10770748262). The game remains free to play with online co-op lobbies up to 25 players. This page covers the eight reported new units, how they change lane comps, what to do in your first sessions after patching, and where to spend fountain rewards from the Codes Hub.

For the wider patch timeline see the Updates Hub. Beginners should still start with Getting Started. Meta snapshots live under Tier List and Players. Official Discord and Roblox destinations sit on Links.

Headline changes

Community coverage for Update 1 consistently names eight new units:

Unit	Notes players repeat
Shanko	Team damage amp aura; strong hybrid / support-carry hybrid pickup
Lawo (K-ROOM)	ROOM utility that can reshuffle dangerous leads; Mythic-leaning kits
Dofi (Birdcage)	Hybrid DPS with displacement / trap tools and high stall value
Aokuji (Ice Age)	Crowd-control / ice pressure for packed lanes
Akaino (Justice)	Justice-themed damage option in mid-high tiers
Usopo	Lower-mid support / utility role in early published lists
Anyo	Mid-tier filler that still helps incomplete rosters
Nomi	Lower published placement; situational until traits catch up

Published tier lists disagree on exact S/A borders, but Shanko, Lawo (K-ROOM), and Dofi (Birdcage) appear at the top of multiple Update 1 rankings. Older Secrets such as Bald Hero (Serious), Freezo (Golden), Demon King, Ultra Gowko, and Roger (Pirate King) remain relevant; Spedwag continues as the economy / farm reference unit. Unit names stay anime parodies rather than licensed cameos.

What Update 1 is not

Update 1 is not a soft relaunch. Core loop is unchanged: summon in the lobby, bring a team through Story portals, upgrade with in-match cash, chase traits and evolutions, then branch into Nightmare, Endless, Challenges, and Raids. There is still no official Trello. Patch communication runs through Discord (discord.gg/CQNhGUAPdb) and the Roblox title string.

Do not confuse this Champions TD release with older Roblox experiences that reused “Anime Galaxies” naming. Wrong Place IDs mean wrong codes, wrong units, and wasted time.

First-hour checklist after Update 1

1. Relog into the Champions TD experience and confirm the title shows UPDATE 1.
2. Walk to the CODES fountain near Challenges / left of Summon and redeem the active November list on Codes (UPDATESOON, GOLDENDICE, CRYSTALGIFT, STARSHOWER, milestone gem codes, and level-gated invitation strings).
3. Open Summon and check whether Update 1 units appear on the rotating banner before spending your entire gem stack on older pity goals.
4. Rebuild one Story team around a damage amp or displacement tool if you pulled Shanko, Lawo, or Dofi; otherwise keep proven Secrets and add new units as support.
5. Clear enough Story or Challenges to unlock any level-gated codes (25 / 67 / 100).
6. Skim Tier List once before burning Trait Crystals on temporary fillers.

How the new units change lanes

Anime Galaxies rewards roles, not six identical DPS towers. Update 1 pushes that idea harder:

• Damage amp (Shanko) wants placement on the stretch where your carries already focus fire. Amp range matters more than stacking three identical nukers on one corner.
• Displacement / ROOM tools (Lawo, Dofi) buy time when a boss or lead threatens to leak. Pair them with slow or stun units instead of replacing your entire economy engine.
• Ice / justice pressure (Aokuji, Akaino) helps dense wave chapters and Nightmare spikes where single-target Secrets overkill trash packs.
• Usopo / Anyo / Nomi fill roster holes while you chase banner luck—use them to finish Story acts, then promote into higher rarities.

Mid-match cash upgrades still decide failed runs. New units do not remove the need for early economy placement taught in Getting Started.

Modes to prioritize

• Story — fastest account levels for code gates and a clean test bed for new kits.
• Challenges — short loops that convert free time into gems and materials between banner pulls.
• Nightmare — stress-test Update 1 hybrids once Story feels trivial.
• Endless — practice leak control with displacement tools; do not expect every rumor reward to be live.
• Raids — hold invitation items from codes such as INVITED / INVITATION2 until you know the current raid target.

Battle Tower / streak content from the Update 0.5 era (Bald Hero routes) can still matter for Secret acquisition. Confirm the live lobby boards after patching rather than assuming every 0.5 system vanished.

Currency and summon advice

Fountain gems, Rainbow Stars, Event Capsules, Trait Crystals, Stat Tokens, and Stat Locks all spike after update code waves. Spend gems on the banner that actually lists Update 1 targets. Bank Trait Crystals until you own a unit you will keep for Nightmare and Raids. Stat Locks protect rolls you already like—do not lock a throwaway Rare.

If a code print disagrees between sites, redeem anyway and trust the in-game grant. Details and level gates are maintained on the Codes Hub.

Scripts and “instant Update 1” scams

Expect Discord DMs selling auto farm loaders that promise every new Secret on day one. Those tools risk bans and malware. Read the Scripts Hub before pasting any loadstring. Official progression plus fountain codes is enough to experience Update 1 content.
