Feeding in Anime Legacy Simulator (developed by StarX Inc on Roblox) is the core mechanic used to level up your fighters and boost their overall damage output. Unlike standard clicker games where pets only grant passive stat boosts, this experience requires you to actively train and level your units. You feed a fighter by opening your inventory, clicking on the unit, and using food obtained from deconstructing duplicate summons or opening consumable ration packs.

The level cap observed in the initial release build is Level 35. Bringing a fighter to this cap substantially increases their base DPS, making it the most critical damage modifier on your team alongside passives and accessories.

How to Get Food in Anime Legacy Simulator

You cannot summon raw food directly from stars; instead, food is created by dismantling unwanted fighters pulled from gacha banners or by acquiring direct consumable food items.

Setting Up Auto-Deconstruct at Summons

The most efficient method to maintain a steady food supply is configuring your star summon pad before pulling:

  1. Walk up to the star summon machine in your current world, or press the star icon if you own the Remote Access game pass.
  2. Click the gear icon to open the Star Settings menu.
  3. In the settings list, locate the four handling options: Announcement, Auto Sell, Auto Lock, and Auto Deconstruct (marked by a flower-style icon or the bottom option).
  4. Select Auto Deconstruct (or Auto-Delete) for the rarities you do not plan to keep, such as Commons, Uncommons, and Rares.
  5. Whenever you summon, any unit matching those settings will automatically convert into food rather than taking up inventory space.

Players who accidentally sell fighters instead of dismantling them lose valuable EXP materials, as selling only returns currency.

Manual Deconstruction from Inventory

If your inventory is already clogged with duplicate fighters because Auto Deconstruct was turned off, you can dismantle them manually:

  1. Open your Backpack/Inventory menu and navigate to the Fighters tab.
  2. Locate the dismantle button at the bottom right of the UI (positioned next to the trash can icon).
  3. Select the individual duplicate units you want to break down.
  4. Click confirm. The selected units will be removed and instantly converted into food.

Consumable Rations

Certain bundles provide consumable food directly. For instance, the Starter Pack includes Pirate Rations, which grant substantial EXP to jumpstart leveling early in the game. Third-party testing notes that items like Rice Balls and Pirate Rations feed directly into the unit's leveling gauge.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Feed and Level Up Your Units

Once your inventory has accumulated food, feeding your fighters takes only a few clicks:

  1. Open your main menu and select the Fighters section.
  2. Click on the non-maxed fighter you want to upgrade.
  3. Click the Feed button on the character profile window.
  4. Choose the amount of food you want to invest, or select the add-all option to dump your accumulated food into the unit.
  5. Confirm the action. Your unit's level will increase, visibly raising their damage stat on the spot.

For example, testing in early gameplay builds shows that feeding an Exclusive unit like Freiren takes her from 40 damage at base level up to several thousand damage within seconds, reaching 89,000+ damage near the Level 35 cap.

Reference Stats: Base Damage and Early Scaling

Base damage varies significantly by unit rarity. Leveling higher-rarity units yields much higher damage per level compared to early common units.

FighterRarityAttack Speed (SPA)Level 1 Base Damage
UssopaCommon1.1s10
NamyUncommon1.05s18

LufeMythical0.8s82
RengokeMythical0.85s89
YutaMythical—105 (157 Shiny)
FreirenExclusive1.1s210
GojoSecret—210

Note: Seconds Per Attack (SPA) dictates attack frequency—lower values indicate faster hits. Shiny versions have higher base stats than their standard counterparts.

How to Maximize EXP Gains While Feeding

Feeding requires massive amounts of food at higher levels. Content creators report needing roughly 175,000 food to push a Secret fighter like Gojo from Level 1 to the Level 35 cap. To speed up the process, you can use EXP traits and game passes.

Roll EXP Traits Before Feeding

Before dumping all your food into a newly obtained fighter, visit the Trait Reroll NPC in the lobby or Slayer Village. Rolling an EXP trait temporarily reduces the total food cost:

  • Genius 1: Grants +10% EXP gain.
  • Genius 2: Grants +18% EXP gain.
  • Genius 3: Grants +25% EXP gain.
  • Prodigy: A rainbow-tier trait that increases unit EXP gain by up to 100%.

If you roll Genius or Prodigy, keep that trait on the unit while feeding them to Level 35. Once the unit reaches the maximum level, the EXP trait becomes useless, allowing you to freely reroll for pure combat traits like Mercenary (+100% damage, +25% boss damage, +50% ultimate damage), Giant (+100% damage, -20% attack speed), or Blessing.

If you want to speed up leveling through the shop:

  • 2x EXP Game Pass (299 Robux / 2,990 Gems): Doubles the player EXP earned and doubles the food EXP applied to your fighters.
  • Fast Open (499 Robux) & Multi Open (499 Robux): Accelerates the rate at which you hatch stars, indirectly multiplying how fast you generate food through Auto Deconstruct.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum unit level in Anime Legacy Simulator?

In the initial release build and Update 1, unit levels cap at Level 35.

What happens if I use Auto Sell instead of Auto Deconstruct?

Auto Sell converts summoned fighters into Yen currency. Auto Deconstruct (or Auto-Delete) converts them into food. If you need food to level up your units, you must ensure Auto Deconstruct is active.

Can weapons be fed for EXP?

No. Weapons are leveled up by actively using them in combat against mobs and bosses rather than through the unit Feed menu.

Why does my VIP exclusive fighter have such high damage?

The exclusive fighter obtained from the VIP game pass mirrors the base damage of your account's strongest character (such as a Secret unit's 210 base damage at Level 1). Feeding this exclusive fighter scales that base damage dramatically, making it a permanent fixture in your loadout.
