Anime Zero Update Log & Patch Notes

Where these patch notes come from

The developers post every patch in the update-log channel of the official Discord. We have not read that channel directly. Details up to October 4 are as relayed by the Anime Zero Wiki, which quotes it; Update 1 details come from what creators show on screen in their October 5 videos, since its full notes had not been relayed when we checked. Names, prices and update times are checked against the Roblox game page. All times are UTC.

Every Anime Zero update, newest first

   Update 1: Flame Director

   Around 09:00 UTC the game was renamed Anime Zero [FLAME DIRECTOR]. A Nightmare-only Bath House raid arrived, and its rare drop is the Lyth weapon Paramita Pyre (Hu Tao). New codes NEWRAID and SORRYFORDELAY; the Instant Spins pass went on sale.

   • The Roblox page switched to the [FLAME DIRECTOR] name at about 09:00 UTC, and players poured in: the day's peak hit 16,279 concurrent players at 14:00 UTC.
   • A new Bath House raid with a Spirited Away theme, picked in an official Discord poll (2,260 of 4,041 votes). Open it from Create Lobby → Raid. It runs on Nightmare only, each player gets 3 lives, and the final boss is No Face, who adds shadow clones below half health. One creator reports two extra waves were added to the second phase after launch.
   • Raid drops: Paramita Pyre (Hu Tao) 2% (guaranteed by 35 clears); Staff of Homa 25% (guaranteed by 5 clears); Ghost (1-3 per drop) 33%. Raid materials can only be farmed, not crafted.
   • The rare drop is the new Lyth weapon Paramita Pyre (Hu Tao). It is a raid drop only and is not on the summon banner, where Cataclysm is still the only Lyth. Its evolution uses raid materials, Ghosts among them.
   • The Instant Spins pass (149 Robux) went on sale. It skips the spin animation for summons and trait rerolls. See game passes.
   • Another build went live at about 22:00 UTC (from the Roblox API). The full Update 1 patch notes had not been relayed outside Discord when we checked, so smaller changes may be missing here.

   Codes: NEWRAID (100 Trait Rerolls, 75,000 Coins, 10,000 Gems, level 50+); SORRYFORDELAY (50 Trait Rerolls, 25,000 Coins, 5,000 Gems, level 25+). Redeem them. Frigid shows they can also be claimed from the in-game Updates panel.

   Balance patch, then a rollback

   Zenless renamed Lyth, Infinite now pays every wave, four new traits, auto reroll and aimable trait pity, a crit rework. Pity and pass changes were rolled back hours later. Codes TYASHIRA and TYFRIGID.

   • The top rarity Zenless was renamed Lyth. Same weapons, new name.
   • Infinite mode now pays every wave. Totals by wave 50: Easy 6,000, Normal 9,450, Hard 13,500, Nightmare 21,000 Coins and Easy 200, Normal 525, Hard 1,200, Nightmare 2,450 Gems. Each wave after 50 pays 1.35 times the one before. Materials can drop from wave 16, with better ones at waves 31 and 46.
   • Four new traits (Razor Focus, Overkill, Sniper, Deadeye), trait pity you can aim at a chosen trait, and auto reroll that stops on Legendary or Mythic. Details on the traits page.
   • Crit rework: crits deal 200% base damage, a crit damage stat was added, and caps are 60% crit chance, 275% crit damage and 40% cooldown reduction. The skill tree crit branch gives 3%, 6%, 10% and 15%.
   • Story material drops fell 15% and only normal enemies drop materials. Winning a Story run can drop a trait crystal: Easy 5%, Normal 10%, Hard 20%, Nightmare 40%.
   • Controller improvements and 8 new cosmetic titles.
   • For a few hours pity counted only Lucky Spins, at higher thresholds. After player pushback the same-day rollback restored every-spin pity at Mythic 175 / Arcane 350 / Lyth 3,500, put VIP and VIP+ back to their old coin and spin discounts, restored the 2X Drop Rate effects and material pity, fixed daily claims on PC and console cursor bugs, and returned levels some players had lost. See the pity history.

   Codes: TYASHIRA (500 Lucky Spins); TYFRIGID (222 Trait Rerolls). Redeem them.

   Performance patch, synergies and AFK rework

   More FPS, six synergy pairs, a guard bar, material pity, a material shop. Story rewards nearly quadrupled and the AFK chamber now gives a Lucky Spin every 15 minutes. Codes LESSLAG, PATCHNOTE67, SORRYXD67 and BIGTYPO.

   • Performance: 30 to 75% more FPS in big fights, faster loading, and a fix for lag that built up with skill use.
   • Combat: a guard bar (perfect blocks cost no guard), six official weapon synergy pairs, and +20% damage for 4 seconds after switching weapons in.
   • Materials: pity after 5 runs without a drop, a material shop in crafting, and difficulty selection in Infinite with bosses dropping materials.
   • Pity became a total-spins counter for the first time. Miyabi's pity shipped at 12,500 by mistake and was cut to 3,500 the same day, with BIGTYPO as the apology.
   • Story rewards nearly quadrupled (Nightmare now pays 15,000 Coins and 350 Gems a run). The AFK chamber moved to 10 Coins a second, 50 Gems every 2 minutes and a Lucky Spin every 15 minutes.
   • Game passes became giftable, and controller and shift-lock bugs were fixed.

   Codes: LESSLAG (25 Lucky Spins, 300 Gems, 10 Rolls); PATCHNOTE67 (10,000 Coins, 50 Trait Rerolls, 75 Lucky Spins); SORRYXD67 (25 Lucky Spins, 300 Gems); BIGTYPO (100 Lucky Spins). Redeem them.

What to expect next

No next update date has been announced, but Frigid and Valentless both show a tease for Sung Jin-Woo as the next addition. The owner said launch content was cut to about half of the plan, with small updates to follow, and the developers have told players to save coins for new banners. When something lands we add it here the same day; for codes alone, the codes page is quicker.
