Welcome to the ultimate reroll guide for Anime Card Clash! Whether you're a free-to-play adventurer or a min-maxing veteran, starting the game with a powerful roster of cards can set you up for long-term success. In this guide, we'll walk you through everything you need to know about rerolling—what it is, why you should do it, and exactly how to land the best starter cards in the game. By the end, you'll have a solid foundation to crush early story quests, dominate PvP, and tackle high-level raids.

What Is Rerolling and Why Bother?

Rerolling is the process of repeatedly creating new game accounts to take advantage of the free early-game summon (or "pull") until you obtain one or more highly rated cards. In gacha-style card games like Anime Card Clash, your initial card pool can significantly impact your progress speed. A top-tier card can carry you through early content, while a mediocre pull might leave you struggling. Rerolling allows you to maximize your start without spending real money.

While some players find rerolling tedious, the payoff is often immense. The best starter cards in Anime Card Clash are designed to be versatile, scaling well into the mid-game and even end-game with proper upgrades. By rerolling, you ensure that you don't waste valuable resources early on cards that will quickly become obsolete.

How Rerolling Works in Anime Card Clash

Anime Card Clash gives every new player a free summon right after the tutorial. This summon typically includes a guaranteed SSR (Super Rare) or even a higher-rarity card, depending on the current launch events. The pool of available cards for this initial draw is fixed but includes some of the most desirable units in the game. The key is to repeatedly reset your account until you pull one or more of these elite cards.

Rerolling in Anime Card Clash is straightforward:

  • You start as a guest account (no email or social login).
  • Complete the short tutorial (around 5-10 minutes).
  • Claim your pre-registration rewards and launch bonuses (usually a 10-pull ticket and gems).
  • Perform your free summons.
  • Evaluate the results.
  • If unhappy, delete the account data and start over.

We'll detail the steps next.

Step-by-Step Reroll Guide

Follow these steps to efficiently reroll in Anime Card Clash on both Android and iOS. We'll also cover using an emulator for even faster rerolls.

1. Start Fresh as a Guest

When you launch the game for the first time, **do not** link your account to Google, Apple, or any social media. Select "Guest Login" to create a temporary account. This makes it easy to wipe data later.

2. Rush Through the Tutorial

The tutorial introduces basic card battle mechanics and some story. It cannot be skipped, but you can speed through by tapping through dialogue and selecting the fastest battle options (Auto-battle if available). On average, the tutorial takes about 7-8 minutes.

3. Claim All Launch Rewards

After the tutorial, you'll be directed to the home screen. Immediately check your mailbox for pre-registration rewards, launch celebration gifts, and any event bonuses. These often include:

  • **10x Summon Ticket** – Use this for a multi-pull on the beginner-friendly banner.
  • **Gems / Stardust** – 1,500–3,000 gems depending on server launch events.
  • **Stamina refills** and other consumables.

Collect everything before pulling.

4. Perform Your Free Summons

Navigate to the Summon (or Gacha) menu. The most lucrative banner for new players is usually the **"Starter Summon"** or **"Beginner's Wish"**. It guarantees at least one SSR and often features boosted rates for top-tier cards. Use your 10x ticket first. If you have enough gems for another multi-pull, go ahead—but the goal is to get a great card from the free resources, not to grind gems during reroll.

5. Evaluate Your Pull

Once the summon animation finishes, review your cards. Your target is to obtain at least one of the **top-tier starter cards** listed in the next section. If you pulled one or more, great! If not, proceed to reset.

6. Reset Your Account

To reroll:

  • **Android:** Go to your device Settings > Apps > Anime Card Clash > Storage > Clear Data. This resets the app, and you can relaunch to start fresh.
  • **iOS:** iOS makes it a bit trickier. Uninstall and reinstall the game. Some players recommend resetting your Advertising Identifier, but the cleanest method is a full reinstall. (Note: As of the latest update, some iOS versions allow a simple data reset via in-game logout if you haven't linked, but this may change—check the in-game settings.)
  • **Emulator (Recommended):** Use an Android emulator like BlueStacks, LDPlayer, or MuMu. Set up a clean instance, install Anime Card Clash, and use the emulator's multi-instance manager to clone instances. You can run multiple rerolls simultaneously, drastically cutting down time. After a pull, delete the instance and clone a fresh one.

7. Repeat Until Satisfied

Reroll as many times as needed. Some players land their dream card in 3 attempts; others may take 20+. The process becomes muscle memory, and each cycle should take about 10 minutes once you're efficient.

Top-Tier Starter Cards to Aim For

Not all SSRs are created equal. Based on the current meta (as of the latest patch), these cards are the holy grail of rerolls. We've ranked them into tiers to help you prioritize.

**S-Tier (Absolute Must-Have)**

  • **Aria, the Flame Empress** – Fire element, AoE damage dealer. Her passive grants a team-wide attack buff, making her invaluable for both story and early PvP.
  • **Zephyr, the Storm Blade** – Wind element, single-target nuker. Capable of one-shotting early bosses with proper setup.
  • **Luna, the Celestial Healer** – Light element, healer/support. Provides massive sustain for a new account, allowing you to tackle harder content sooner.

**A-Tier (Excellent Pulls)**

  • **Kael, the Shadow Rogue** – Dark element, fast attacker with high crit rate. Great for speed-clearing stages.
  • **Terra, the Earth Guardian** – Earth element, tank with a self-shield. Forms a solid defensive core.
  • **Nyx, the Void Mage** – Dark element, crowd control specialist. Pairs well with many teams.

**B-Tier (Good but Not Ideal)** These cards are serviceable but will eventually be replaced by better units. If you're exhausted from rerolling, you can settle on one of these, but we recommend pushing for S- or A-tier. Examples: Arcane Archer, Steel Knight, Frost Witch (unless you love their playstyle).

**Note:** The game's limited-time banners may shift the value of some units. For an up-to-date evaluation, check our [Limited Gacha Banner Evaluation](/guides/limited-gacha-banner-evaluation/) guide. Also, understanding [Card Types and Rarities](/guides/card-types-and-rarities-explained/) can help you gauge a card's potential.

Aim for at least one S-tier, or two high A-tier cards from your free pulls. If you manage to pull an S-tier plus another complementary SSR, you've hit the jackpot.

Best Starter Deck Builds After Reroll

Once you have your shiny new top-tier card, the next step is building a cohesive deck. While this guide focuses on the reroll itself, we have a dedicated [Best Starter Deck Builds](/guides/best-starter-deck-builds/) guide where we break down early-game decks using common and rare cards that synergize with the top reroll targets. For example, if you pulled Aria, you'll want to include other Fire-element cards that boost attack even further.

For now, here are two quick templates:

  • **Fire Rush Deck**: Aria + any 2 Fire commons/Rares + 1 healer (like Lesser Healer) and 1 versatile Support. Focus on maximizing Aria's AoE.
  • **Wind Speed Clear**: Zephyr + Wind Attack Buffer + 2 low-cost Wind cards + 1 tank. Use Zephyr's single-target burst to erase enemy leaders.

These decks will carry you through the first few chapters, but you'll want to transition into more refined builds as you progress. Don't forget to visit our [card upgrading and evolution guide](/guides/card-upgrading-and-evolution-guide/) later to enhance your SSRs.

Efficient Reroll Tips and Tricks

  • **Use an Emulator**: As mentioned, emulators like BlueStacks allow you to run multiple instances, and you can record macros for the tutorial steps. This shaves minutes off each reroll.
  • **Prefer Wi-Fi and Stable Internet**: The game downloads additional assets after the tutorial; a fast connection prevents frustration.
  • **Skip Cutscenes**: Every second counts. Even though some cutscenes are unskippable, you can often fast-tap through story segments.
  • **Target Specific Banners**: Always pull on the banner that has the featured card you want. The "Starter Summon" might have a 3% SSR rate, while a limited banner could have a specific rate-up for Zephyr or Aria. Read the banner details carefully. Our [limited gacha banner evaluation](/guides/limited-gacha-banner-evaluation/) guide can help you decide.
  • **Don't Obsess Over Multiple SSRs**: While pulling two top-tier SSRs is amazing, it's statistically rare. Focus on one elite card and a few strong SRs.
  • **Keep a "Soft Reset" Option**: If you're using an emulator, you can keep a few clones that got A-tier pulls as backups. Link them to a dummy email if you want to hold onto them for trading or gifting (if the feature exists) or simply to play later.
  • **Be Patient**: Rerolling can be mind-numbing. Take breaks. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

What to Do After a Successful Reroll

Congratulations, you've landed your dream card! Now it's time to lock in your account and start playing for real.

Link Your Account

Immediately go to Settings and link your account to Google, Apple, or Facebook. This saves your progress and prevents accidental loss. Do this before you invest any significant time.

Spend Your Remaining Gems Wisely

Resist the urge to pull on every banner. Early-game gems are precious. Prioritize stamina refreshes for XP grinding (see our [experience point farming guide](/guides/experience-point-farming-guide/)) and maybe one more pull on a limited banner if it features a unit that complements your starter.

Progress Through the Story

The story mode is your primary source of gems, cards, and evolution materials. Use your overpowered starter to breeze through chapters and unlock features like the Arena and Raid. Check our [beginner quick-start guide](/guides/beginner-quick-start-guide/) for a roadmap of the first few days.

Join a Guild or Community

Surrounding yourself with active players can provide valuable advice, friend points for summons, and guild rewards. This is especially helpful for tackling [best raid team compositions](/guides/best-raid-team-compositions/) later.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rerolling

**Q: Is rerolling bannable?** A: No. Rerolling is a common practice in gacha games and is generally tolerated by developers as long as you're not using third-party hacking tools. Simply clearing data and starting over is within the terms of service.

**Q: How many times should I reroll?** A: There's no magic number. Some players get their target card within 10 rerolls; others might need 50+. Set a personal limit based on your patience. If you're burnt out, settling for an A-tier card is perfectly fine—you'll still enjoy the game.

**Q: Can I reroll on iOS without reinstalling?** A: At the moment, the most reliable method is reinstalling. Some players report that logging out of Game Center and resetting the advertising ID works, but results are inconsistent. The reinstall method is clean.

**Q: What if the game updates and changes the starter banner?** A: Always check our [latest update patch notes](/guides/latest-update-patch-notes/) for changes to summon pools or new powerful units. The community usually shares early findings.

**Q: Should I reroll for a specific element?** A: Elements are important, but a top-tier card of any element will carry you early on. Later, you'll build mono-element teams for type advantage. Consult our [elemental affinities type chart](/guides/elemental-affinities-type-chart/) to plan ahead.

**Q: What's the fastest possible reroll time?** A: With an emulator and macros, you can complete a full reroll cycle in about 6-7 minutes, including downloads. On a phone, it's closer to 10-12 minutes.

Moving Beyond the Reroll

Rerolling is just the beginning of your Anime Card Clash adventure. Once you have your ideal starter deck, the real fun begins. You'll want to understand energy management (check the [energy/stamina management guide](/guides/energy-stamina-management/)) to maximize your daily play, learn how to farm currency efficiently (our [currency farming guide](/guides/currency-farming-guide/) covers that), and eventually dive into advanced strategies with our [advanced deck-building strategies](/guides/advanced-deck-building-strategies/) guide.

Remember, a top-tier starter card gives you an edge, but skill, strategy, and dedication will ultimately determine your success. Good luck on your rerolls, and may the gacha gods smile upon you!
