What the War Arc update changed in Anime Story 2 and how to claim the new units and free rewards.

Update 2.5, the War Arc patch for Anime Story 2, went live on Roblox and brings a Naruto-themed wave of content, a fresh batch of redemption codes, and a full reset of the Tower. The headline addition is a set of new shinobi units, including the evolved Hashirama, alongside ongoing Slime Apocalypse event farming.

Quick answer: Redeem the code 2.5 for 1.5k Trait Tokens and 20 Ascended Orbs, plus narutoagain for 1k Trait Tokens and 25k Bizarre Tokens, then spend those orbs and tokens on summons to chase the new Naruto units. The Tower also resets at every half-update, so 2.5 wipes your floor progress.

How to redeem codes

Launch Anime Story 2 on Roblox and finish the short tutorial. The Codes button stays locked until the tutorial is complete.
Click the Codes button on the right side of the screen to open the redemption window.
Paste a code into the Enter Code text box, then press Claim. A successful entry drops the listed currency straight into your account, which you can confirm in your inventory.

New units in the War Arc update

Update 2.5 leans heavily into Naruto-inspired characters. The standout is Hashirama, the God of All Shinobi, who evolves through God Cells rather than a standard level-up path. Madara also features in the patch’s marketing, signaling the Naruto roster expansion that the update’s codes celebrate.

To pull the new units, you summon with the currencies that the codes hand out. Ascended Orbs from the 2.5 code and the Trait Tokens and Bizarre Tokens from the Naruto codes give you the fastest start. Every unit can now drop as shiny, and banner shiny rates have been buffed, so summons during this window carry a higher chance at upgraded versions.


Tower reset and farming rules

The Tower resets at every half-update, which means Update 2.5 clears your floor progress. The reworked Tower loops every 250 floors with no permanent loop removal, and difficulty climbs sharply toward the end of each loop. Knowing the reward cadence helps you plan how far to push before the spike.

MilestoneWhat you get
Every 100 floorsA limited unit drop with a 5% shiny chance
Every 250 floors100 bonus rerolls and the start of a new loop
Each half-update (1.5, 2.5, etc.)Full Tower reset

Slime Apocalypse event farming

The Slime Apocalypse launch event runs alongside the update and is the main source of Slime Tokens and Ascension Items. Clear the event stages to stockpile both. Slime Tokens spend in the dedicated event shop for Trait Tokens, Stat Chips, and more, or they can be used to pull on the exclusive Slime Banner.

Ascension Items feed directly into upgrading your roster, so pairing event farming with the orbs and tokens from active codes gives you the resources to both summon and strengthen the new War Arc units. Note that new codes drop through the official Anime Story Lab Roblox community and Discord, so claim time-limited rewards early before they expire.
