If you are diving into the world of Anime Paradox, you already know that progression is everything. But let’s be real: grinding can feel like a slog if you don’t know where to go. I’ve spent hours testing the best maps, evaluating enemy densities, and calculating drop rates to bring you the most efficient farming strategies for Gold, Gems, and EXP.

Whether you are saving up for that next-tier unit, trying to level up your account to unlock new features, or just hoarding gems for the next banner, this guide is your treasure map. Updated for March 2026, I have broken down the absolute best locations and methods to optimize your time so you aren’t just playing—you’re winning.

Overview of Best Farming Locations

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty details of each strategy, here is a quick summary table to help you find exactly what you need based on your current progress in the game.

Resource	Best Location	Difficulty	Best For	Estimated Rewards/Hour
EXP	Adventure Mode: Chaos City (Hard)	Medium-High	Fast Leveling	50,000+ EXP
Gold	Raid Boss: Golden Dragon	High	Late Game Currency	100,000+ Gold
Gems	Infinite Dimension Tower	Medium	Premium Currency	500+ Gems
Mixed	Special Event: Dungeon of Riches	Variable	Balanced Gain	Gold/EXP/Gems

Note: Rewards are estimates based on a standard F2P account with decent equipment. Actual results may vary based on buffs and multipliers.

Understanding the Economy of Anime Paradox

To farm effectively, you need to understand why you are farming. In Anime Paradox, the three main currencies serve very different purposes, and knowing where to allocate your effort is key to not burning out.

Gold: This is your lifeblood for upgrades. You need it to evolve units, enhance weapons, and buy potions from the shop.
Gems: The premium currency. These are for summoning new characters and buying energy refills. These are the hardest to get, making them the most valuable.
EXP: This dictates your Player Level. A higher level means more energy, access to harder raids, and unlocking guild features.

Best Place to Farm for EXP

Experience points are the fuel that drives your account progression. If you are under-leveled, you get gatekept by story missions and raids. Here is the most efficient way to grind levels.

1. Adventure Mode: Chaos City (Hard)

This is, without a doubt, the meta spot for EXP right now.

Why it works: The enemy density here is incredibly high. Mobs spawn in waves of 10-15, and they have relatively low HP compared to other Hard mode stages.
Strategy: Use an AoE (Area of Effect) damage dealer. I recommend pairing a unit like “Inferno King” or “Storm Mage” with a support that provides cooldown reduction.
The Trick: Don’t kill the boss immediately. Lure the boss around the map while your auto-attacks clear the minion waves. This keeps the “battle timer” running, allowing you to farm the respawning minions for extra EXP before ending the stage.

2. Weekend EXP Events

Every Saturday and Sunday, the game typically hosts a 2x EXP event (check the official Discord for the exact schedule).

Action: During this window, save all your Energy Elixirs. Do not spend them during the week. Dumping 500 energy during a 2x event is equivalent to spending 1000 energy on a normal day. It is the single most efficient way to gain levels.

Pro Tip: The “Level Up” Loop

Try to time your level-ups. If you are close to leveling up, use your energy to push you over the edge. Leveling up instantly restores your energy bar. If you can craft a loop where you farm -> level up -> restore energy -> farm again, you can grind for hours without using premium items.

Best Place to Farm for Gold

Once you have the levels, you need the money to back them up. Upgrading a unit to max level can cost millions, so Gold is a resource you constantly need.

1. Raid Boss: Golden Dragon

While many guides suggest farming story stages for gold, the Raid Boss is superior if you have a strong enough team.

The Mechanics: The Golden Dragon has a massive health pool but drops Gold every time you deal 1% damage to its total HP.
Solo vs. Co-op: If you can deal 1-2% damage to the boss in a raid, you can actually make more gold by joining public raids and chipping away than by spending your own energy to host. You use no energy to join other people’s raids!
Strategy: Join a “Gold Raid” lobby in the matchmaking menu. Use your highest single-target damage burst. Hit the boss, claim the percentage damage reward, and leave. Repeat this 10-20 times a minute for massive profit.

2. Story Mode: The Treasury Vault (Act 4-5)

If the raid is too hard for your current team, this is your best bet.

Why it works: This specific stage has a “Chest Mimic” enemy that has a 50% chance to spawn. If killed, it drops a massive amount of gold compared to normal enemies.
Rerun Method: Start the stage. If the Chest Mimic doesn’t spawn in the first 10 seconds, hit the “Pause” button and select “Retreat.” This costs no energy. Keep restarting until the Mimic spawns, then clear the level.

Best Place to Farm for Gems

Gems are the hardest currency to farm. You cannot just grind a stage endlessly for them; you usually have to rely on specific game mechanics.

1. Infinite Dimension Tower

This is the end-game content for gems.

How it works: The Tower has infinite floors. Every 5 floors, you get a Gem reward (usually 10-20 gems).
Farming Strategy: Push as high as you can once to determine your “Cap.” Then, farm the highest floor you can one-shot. The higher the floor, the better the gem drop rate from the enemies themselves.
Bonus: If your guild has the “Tower Gem Drop” research unlocked, make sure to do your farming runs while that buff is active.

2. Redemption Codes (The Free Injection)

While not a “grind” in the traditional sense, this is the fastest source of Gems. I cross-referenced the official X/Twitter account and active community forums to compile the latest codes for March 2026.

How to Redeem:
1. Tap the Menu icon (three lines).
2. Go to Settings.
3. Tap “Redemption Code.”
4. Enter the code and hit Confirm.
Active Codes:
- NEWYEAR2026 – Rewards: 500 Gems, 5x Energy Elixirs
- GEMSRICH – Rewards: 300 Gems
- UPDATEBOOST – Rewards: 200 Gems, 10k Gold
Tip: Bookmark this page. I update this section weekly to ensure you don’t miss out on freebies.

3. Achievement Hunting

Don’t ignore the “Achievements” tab in your profile.

Hidden Gems: Many achievements, like “Use 100 Potions” or “Defeat 500 Slime-type enemies,” reward 50-100 gems each. These are tasks you will do naturally while farming for Gold and EXP. By not claiming them, you are leaving free money on the table.

Advanced Farming Strategies: Maximizing Efficiency

To truly optimize your farm, you need to look beyond just where you are clicking. You need to consider how you are playing.

Auto-Battle Optimization

Anime Paradox features an Auto-Battle system. However, the default AI is often dumb. It will use Ultimate skills immediately, often overkilling weak minions.

The Fix: Go into your team settings and adjust your skill priority.
- Set AoE skills to “Auto” for farming waves.
- Set Single-Target skills to “Manual” (or “Don’t Use”) for trash mobs so you save them for the Boss.
Placement: Keep your ranged units in the back row but close enough to the aggro line. If they are too far back, they walk forward instead of attacking, wasting precious seconds.

The “F2P” Merchant Method

If you are completely out of energy and don’t want to spend Gems, play the Market.

Buy low-demand items (like basic crafting materials) during the week when players are dumping inventory.
Resell them on the weekend when the player base spikes and people need materials for upgrades. It takes patience, but it’s a zero-energy farming method.

Team Synergy for Farming

Don’t use your “PvP Team” for PvE farming.

PvE Team Comp:
- 1 Main DPS: High AoE damage.
- 1 Farmer/Support: Someone with a “Loot Drop Rate” passive or “Gold Boost” ability. Units like “Midas” or “Greed Goblin” are essential here. Equipping them can increase your income by 20-30%.
- 2 Tanks: To keep enemies grouped together.
- 1 Healer: Only necessary if you are taking chip damage.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

I see so many players making these errors. Avoid them to save yourself hours of frustration.

Spending Gems on Energy: Never spend gems to refill energy early game. It is a trap. You get better value out of gems by saving them for the limited-time banners which feature much stronger units.
Upgrading Everything: Do not upgrade every unit you get. Pick 4 core units and funnel all your Gold and EXP into them. A team of 4 maxed-out units will clear content much faster than a team of 10 half-upgraded units.
Ignoring the Daily Login: Even if you don’t play, log in. Day 7 and Day 28 login rewards often contain massive Gem bundles.

Platform-Specific Tips

If you are playing on Mobile vs. PC (Emulator), your farming experience differs.

PC Emulator: Use the “Macro” features available in LDPlayer or BlueStacks. You can record a run where you collect the rewards from your mail, claim dailies, and start a farm stage, then loop it. This allows for true “AFK” farming while you sleep.
Mobile: Be careful with your battery and data usage. Ensure you are on Wi-Fi when grinding the Infinite Tower, as the connection requirement is stricter.

FAQ’s

How often are new codes released for Anime Paradox?

New codes are typically released alongside major game updates or when the game hits a milestone (like reaching 1 million likes). Usually, you can expect new codes every 1-2 weeks. Check this guide or the official Discord for the latest drops.

What is the fastest way to get gems without paying money?

The fastest consistent method without paying is climbing the Infinite Dimension Tower. However, participating in community events and clearing Achievements provides a significant “burst” of gems that shouldn’t be ignored.

Is it better to farm Solo or in a Co-op Raid?

For Gold, Co-op is often better if you can “leech” raids (join, do damage, leave) because it saves your energy. For EXP and Loot, Solo farming is usually better because you control the pace and ensure you get all the drops without sharing them with a team.

Why can’t I farm the Golden Dragon Raid?

The Golden Dragon Raid usually requires a specific Player Level (often Level 40 or 50) and a certain Team Power. If you are locked out, focus on leveling up in Adventure Mode first until you meet the requirements.

How do I increase my drop rates?

Equip units that have “Drop Rate” or “Gold Find” passive abilities. Additionally, using higher difficulty tickets (like Hard or Nightmare tickets on event stages) usually increases the drop multiplier at the cost of harder enemies.

Conclusion

Farming in Anime Paradox doesn’t have to be a chore. By focusing your efforts on Chaos City for EXP, the Golden Dragon Raid for Gold, and the Infinite Tower for Gems, you are maximizing the return on every minute you spend in the game.

Remember to check back for new codes and updates. The meta shifts frequently, and what is the “best” spot today might be nerfed tomorrow. Keep an eye on the patch notes in the official Discord server to stay ahead of the curve.

Good luck, and may your loot boxes be full of legendary drops.
