โ ๏ธ Post-Test Notice: The Evolution Test has ended, and this guide still uses earlier beta data as a reroll watchlist. Do not treat any pick as final launch meta until official or verifiable post-test data confirms skill, pool, and acquisition changes.
Should You Reroll?
Yes, absolutely. Nexus Anima's Auto-chess system makes your starting Anima roster matter more than in traditional gacha games. A strong S-Tier Anima on your account from day one will carry you through the first 20+ Planes with significantly less grinding.
The good news: rerolling is relatively fast. You can complete a full reroll in around 15 minutes once you know what you're doing. It's worth doing at least 3โ5 rolls before settling on an account.
Best Reroll Targets
These are the S and A-Tier Anima available on the standard banner. Aim for at least one S-Tier before keeping your account.

Soluna TOP PICK

ยท Standard Banner
The best AoE damage dealer in Beta. Dark Bloom passive stacks indefinitely in long fights โ she only gets stronger as Planes increase in difficulty. Also synergises with all Dark-type team comps.

Voltrix TOP PICK

โ
โ

ยท Standard Banner
Chain Lightning hits up to 4 enemies simultaneously. In Auto-chess where fights are often 4v4 or 5v5, this is exceptional value. Wind Synergy teams built around Voltrix are the most consistent in Beta.

Glaciara
๐ง Water ยท โ
โ
โ
โ
โ
ยท Standard Banner
If you prefer a more defensive style, Glaciara is the best healer/CC unit in Beta. Freeze reliably slows enemies and her healing output is unmatched. Essential for high Plane progression.

Emberon If no S-Tier
๐ฅ Fire ยท โ
โ
โ
โ
โ
ยท Standard Banner
Strong A-Tier unit. If you've done 5+ rerolls without getting Soluna or Voltrix, Emberon is an acceptable stop-point. Good single-target damage and easy to build around early.

How to Reroll โ Step by Step
1
Download and create a guest account
Launch Nexus Anima and select "Play as Guest" or create a new HoYoverse account. Do not link it to your main account yet.
2
Complete the tutorial (~10 min)
Play through the mandatory tutorial. You cannot skip this on a fresh account. The tutorial itself grants your first pulls, so pay attention to the tutorial banner rewards.
3
Collect all beginner pulls
After the tutorial, claim all available Crystal Fragments (the pull currency) from your Mailbox, Mission rewards, and the Beginner Bundle if available for free.
4
Spend pulls on the Standard Banner
Use all pulls on the Standard Banner (not the limited event banner). The beginner pool has a higher chance of S-Tier Anima. Aim for at least 10 pulls (one full pity cycle).
5
Check your result
Did you get Soluna, Voltrix, or Glaciara? If yes โ link your account and keep it. If not, delete the guest data and repeat from step 1.
6
Link your account
Once you're happy with your Anima, go to Settings โ Account โ Link to HoYoverse Account. This permanently saves your progress.
โฑ Time-saving tip: Some Android emulators allow you to copy-paste apk save states. If you're rerolling on PC via emulator, you can save after the tutorial and restore it to skip the 10-minute tutorial each time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many pulls can I get on a fresh account?
Based on Beta, a new account can collect approximately 20โ30 pulls before needing to spend real money. This comes from the tutorial, Mailbox, starter missions, and the Beginner's Crystal Pack (if free at launch).
Is A-Tier worth keeping if I can't get S-Tier?
If you've done 8โ10 rerolls without S-Tier, Emberon (A-Tier) is a reasonable stopping point. The time cost of continuing to reroll starts to outweigh the benefit. You can obtain S-Tier Anima through gameplay pity later.
Should I pull on the limited event banner instead?
Not for rerolling. Save your limited pulls for the first event banner after launch. The Standard Banner is more reroll-friendly because you can reset easily, and the Beginner Pool has guaranteed rates on Standard Banner Anima.
Does rerolling account matter long-term?
Yes more than typical gacha games, because Auto-chess team synergies mean your core Anima shapes your entire strategy for the first 30+ Planes. S-Tier Anima also provide unique Synergy groups that can't be replicated with lower-tier units.
