Anime Zero Trials Mode

Trials is a floor-based tower mode: you clear room after room, with rewards settling along the way. A single community comment puts the climb at roughly 350 rooms — that figure is unconfirmed. Reported room rewards include coins, gems and summon currencies, plus three materials the new Lyth units need for evolution (creator-reported).

The mode is also where Update 3's new units live: community consensus (two sources for three of them, one creator for the fourth) is that Rin Okumura, Frieren and Astra Yao — plus the reported Ye Shunguang — are all obtained through Trials rather than the summon pools. See the weapons overview for their skeleton entries.

The in-game trial/classes UI gates each new unit behind a cleared room threshold, with solo or co-op conditions. Numbers below are auto-transcribed from creator gameplay and are noisy.

A second set of numbers circulated with the update announcement (~250 for Silver Calamity, ~175 for Astral Bloom) and disagrees with the UI figures above — one creator judged the in-game UI the more reliable reading. Neither set is verified; the community has flagged the acquisition thresholds as steep.

• Stand near the map center. Enemies spawn scattered across the room — a central position tags them faster than chasing spawn corners (creator-reported).
• Skip the clear wait. After a room is cleared, pressing E / using leave skips the roughly 5-second wait before the next room (creator-reported).
• AFK works per room, not for climbing. Rooms can be farmed AFK-style, but progression does not advance itself — each next room still needs a press.
• Shadow Monarch is the early pick. Its The System passive stacks +4% damage per kill (to L10) — exactly what long tower clears feed on.

The launch build shipped Trials with only retry/leave options after a room (creator-tested at deployment). A same-day hotfix added a next button (second creator's community edit). The two reports are independent and consistent — the timeline is as reliable as launch-day reporting gets, and joining bugs that kicked early players are reported partially fixed in the same window.
