Update 8.5 for Anime Astral Simulator adds three new promo codes, the Cursed Relic drop in Cursed School, the Offering Shrines system in Lion Kingdom, and the Nichirin Saya gacha in Slayer Village. It also raises the Yen upgrade cap and adds a few quality-of-life settings. Here is exactly what changed and how to claim the rewards.
Quick answer: Open the codes menu and redeem UPDATE8.5, GODDESS, and DEMONKING. Each gives 200 F2P Tickets plus one of each Tier II Potion (Damage, Power, XP, Yen, and Luck).

How to redeem Anime Astral Simulator codes
Cursed Relic in Cursed School (World 11)
The Cursed Relic is a new drop found in Cursed School, which is World 11. It has a 0.01% drop rate, so expect a long grind before it appears. When equipped, it boosts Drop Rate by +0.002 and Power by +2.5%.
This sits alongside the existing Reaper Relic, which grants +2.5% Damage and +2.5% Yen. Use the Equip Best option to keep your strongest relic active without swapping manually.
Offering Shrines in Lion Kingdom (World 12)
Offering Shrines are located in Lion Kingdom, World 12. You spend Offering Coins here, which drop from raids and world enemies. Each shrine caps out at 15 million Offering Coins.
There are two shrines, and each one raises a different set of stats. Pick the shrine that matches whatever your build needs most.
| Shrine | Stats boosted |
|---|---|
| Goddess Shrine | Power, Luck, XP |
| Demon King Shrine | Damage, Yen, Drop |
Nichirin Saya gacha in Slayer Village (World 6)
The Nichirin Saya gacha is added to Slayer Village, World 6. It rolls using Saya Tokens, which come from Infinity Castle raids or from defeating world enemies. Run the Infinity Castle raid to build up tokens faster before pulling.
Yen upgrades, settings, and welcome rewards
Yen upgrades gained 10 new levels. These higher tiers cost considerably more, so plan your Yen income before pushing into them.
A few quality-of-life changes round out the update. The new Stop Gacha On Divine setting halts rolling automatically when you hit a Divine result. Global quests now auto-claim, and the commandment UI text was updated for clarity.
Update 8.5 also grants welcome rewards to both new and returning players. These payouts include pets, shadows, potions, and tickets.
Tip: Claim the three codes and welcome rewards first, then spend Offering Coins and Saya Tokens once you know which stats your build is missing. That keeps your early resources from going into an upgrade you will outgrow quickly.
