Steal an Anime Pack has two kinds of upgrades. Base upgrades are bought with cash on your own plot: the Pen, the Treadmill and the Opening Luck board. Speed upgrades are bought from stalls: Auras and Coaches. Every one of them is paid for with income from the units in your pen. That means your upgrade pace depends on how quickly you steal packs, hatch them and place what comes out.
Quick answer: Stand on an upgrade pad on your base and press the prompt. The Pen costs $60k to reach Level 2. The Treadmill costs $300K for Level 2 and $10M for Level 3. Opening Luck rises 1.0x per purchase.
Steal an Anime Pack base upgrade costs
All three base upgrades sit on your plot, close to the Safe Zone. Each one shows its current level, its next level and its price on the pad or board before you buy anything.
| Upgrade | Step | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pen | Level 1 > Level 2 | $60k | Expands the pen |
| Treadmill | Level 1 > Level 2 | $300K | More stats per step |
| Treadmill | Level 2 > Level 3 | $10M | More stats per step |
| Opening Luck | 2.0x > 3.0x | $507 x100 | +1.0x hatch luck |
| Opening Luck | 3.0x > 4.0x | $515 x100 | +1.0x hatch luck |
The prices climb at very different rates. Each Opening Luck step costs only a few dollars more than the one before it. The Treadmill jumps from $300K to $10M between Level 2 and Level 3. So expect to buy several luck steps for every Treadmill level.
Treadmill upgrade: training walk speed faster
The Treadmill is where you train walk speed. Speed decides which zones you can raid and whether you get home before an enemy catches you. While you run, a circular button keeps popping up on screen. Tap it each time it appears to collect bonuses. Taps show as “TAP! x2”, “TAP! x3” and “TAP! x4”. Tapping in a row builds a “COMBO” multiplier, and some steps land a “LUCKY STEP x5!” bonus. Your treadmill level goes up as you train, and you earn cash as well as speed.
Press the large pink Stop button to leave the Treadmill. Your progress stays, so you can step off to grab a pack and come straight back.
How to buy the Treadmill upgrade
The Level 2 treadmill runs the same tap prompts as Level 1. Every step simply pays out more speed, so combos and Lucky Steps are worth more too.
Buying Level 3 works the same way. Use the next pad, which costs $10M.
Opening Luck board: better odds on every pack
The Opening Luck board raises your luck multiplier for hatching packs. Each purchase adds 1.0x, for example from 2.0x to 3.0x. The board lists the price for the next step as “$507 x100”, and the step after that as “$515 x100”. When the purchase goes through, the game shows “Hatch Luck upgraded! 2.0x -> 3.0x”. That message confirms the new multiplier is active.
Luck matters because the best units are extremely rare. The odds below are what the game shows when each unit hatches, along with the income it adds once you place it.
| Unit | Rarity | Odds | Income |
|---|---|---|---|
| Junwoo (Weak) | Uncommon | 1 in 35 | +$1.9k/s |
| Makyi | Uncommon | 1 in 10K | +$93.7k |
| Ruffy | Rare | 1 in 20K | +$44.4k/s |
| Tanjuro | Rare | 1 in 50K | +$79.9k/s |
| Mihawck | MYTHICAL | 1 in 10M | +$2.1M/s |
| Whyte Beard | MYTHICAL | 1 in 20M | +$12.8M |
The pull pool goes much deeper than this. Noeel shows at 1 in 500K and Yuji Itadory at 1 in 1T. A single Mythical such as Whyte Beard can lift a base to about $12.9M/s on its own. One lucky roll like that funds every base upgrade in the table above.
To spend that luck, walk up to a grown pack on your base and press the E “Open” prompt.
Pen upgrade: room for more earning units
The Pen houses your hatched units, generating passive cash even when you’re offline. Upgrading it from Level 1 to Level 2 requires $60k and increases its capacity. For a new base, this is generally the earliest upgrade within reach.
Once a unit hatches, select it in your hotbar and point at an open spot. A green “Place” marker appears. Press the prompt and the game confirms with a message such as “Successfully placed Ruffy!”. The unit’s income then starts counting toward your per-second total.
Auras and Coaches: speed multipliers
Two stalls, AURA and COACHES, sell multipliers on top of your trained speed. Walk into the white ring in front of a stall to open its menu. Each item can be bought with cash or with Robux.
Auras
| Aura | Rarity | Speed | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy Aura | Common | x1.5 | Owned by default |
| Toxic Aura | Uncommon | x2 | $56k or 12 Robux |
| Electricity Aura | Rare | x2.5 | $5.6M or 39 Robux |
The aura you have equipped shows an “UNEQUIP” button, and only one aura is active at a time. Toxic Aura costs less than the Pen upgrade, which makes it an easy early buy if raids keep failing.
Coaches
| Coach | Rarity | Speed | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eraser Hero | Epic | +25% | $150B or 39 Robux |
| Tengu Master | Legendary | +40% | $1T or 75 Robux |
| Guy Might | Mythical | +60% | $5T or 99 Robux |
Coaches are a late-game purchase. Their cash prices start in the billions. They also come in limited stock: Eraser Hero and Guy Might show 5/5 in stock, and Tengu Master shows 3/3.
Earning upgrade cash: steal, grow and hatch packs
Every upgrade price is reached the same way. You carry packs from the zones back to your base and turn them into units. Each zone shows a recommended speed, such as 900+, 10k+ or 40k+. Grand Blue sits at 10k+. Other zones include Sakura’s Domain, Snowy Zone, Divine Realm, Demon Realm, Monarch Empire, Eternals Kingdom and World of Apes. The game also shows a Slow Mode toggle on the left side of the screen.
Steal an Anime Pack upgrade order for a new base
The prices set the order. The $60k Pen upgrade and the cheap Opening Luck steps come first, because both pay off on your very next pack. The $300K Treadmill upgrade follows once a Rare or better unit is earning for you, and it speeds up every training session after that. Toxic Aura fits in early if you need extra speed for Grand Blue. The $10M Treadmill Level 3 and Electricity Aura are the next targets after a Mythical hatch. Coaches wait until your income reaches the billions.
