What is Prestige in Anime RNG Defense?
In Anime RNG Defense, prestiging is a progression mechanic that resets your stage progress and base currency in exchange for permanent multipliers, new world unlocks, and access to end-game content. The game features a unique gacha system where you do not buy units directly; instead, you roll for them using an RNG (Random Number Generation) system.
As you progress through the three main anime worlds—Leaf Village (inspired by Naruto), Namek (inspired by Dragon Ball Z), and Hueco Mundo (inspired by Bleach)—the difficulty increases significantly. Each world consists of 10 stages, with 5 challenging waves per stage. Once you complete the final stages, prestiging becomes the primary method to scale your power to match the scaling difficulty of higher-tier content.
When you prestige, you are essentially trading your temporary stage progression for permanent stat boosts. However, because the game relies heavily on luck and gacha rolls, players are often anxious about losing their hard-rolled units. Let's look closely at what resets and what stays with you.
What Carries Over Prestige? (The Permanents)
The most common concern for players is losing their rarest units. Fortunately, Anime Defense Studios designed the prestige system to respect the time you spend rolling for top-tier units. A significant portion of your account progression carries over prestige, ensuring that your hard-earned luck is not wasted.
Here is a detailed breakdown of what stays on your account:
1. Your Roster of Units and Spawners
All of your rolled units (from Common to Divine rarity) are completely safe. If you spent hours rolling for a Divine unit, it will remain in your inventory. The game features 84 unique units and 11 spawners inspired by classic anime franchises like Naruto, Bleach, Dragon Ball Z, and One Piece. You can read our guide on Anime RNG Defense How to Get Divine Units to learn how to secure these powerful towers.
2. Unit Traits and Stat Grades
Any traits you have rolled for your units—such as the highly coveted Superior trait (+200% DMG, +300% HP, +30% RNG, -15% CD, +1 Spawn Cap)—will carry over. Additionally, the individual Stat Grades (ranging from F to S) that you have secured using Scrolls and Perfect Scrolls remain untouched.
3. Medals and Equipment
The Medal system provides equippable stat boosts to your towers. All collected Medals and currently equipped bonuses carry over through the prestige process.
4. Luck Upgrades and Gamepasses
Your permanent Luck stats, including bonuses from the Roblox Group (+0.5 Luck) and the Premium Gamepass (+0.25 Luck), are carried over. If you want to optimize your rolling potential before prestiging, check out our guide on Anime RNG Defense How to Upgrade Luck.
5. Gems and Crafting Materials
Your Gem balance and all inventory items—such as Headbands, Boxes, Dragon Scales, Hollow Fragments, Scrolls, Perfect Scrolls, and Potions—remain in your inventory.
| Item Category | Carries Over? | Description / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Units & Spawners | Yes | All 84 units and 11 spawners stay in your inventory. |
| Unit Traits | Yes | Traits like Superior, Cloner, and Swift are preserved. |
| Stat Grades (F-S) | Yes | Rerolled grades on your units do not reset. |
| Gems | Yes | Saved Gems carry over completely. |
| Crafting Materials | Yes | Dragon Scales, Hollow Fragments, Headbands, and Boxes are kept. |
| Potions & Scrolls | Yes | All crafted consumables remain in your inventory. |
| Medals | Yes | Equippable stat medals are fully preserved. |
What Resets Upon Prestiging? (The Temporaries)
To balance the permanent power spikes you receive, certain aspects of your gameplay loop must be reset. When looking at what resets, the changes are primary focused on stage progression and wave-specific economy.
Here is what you will lose when you prestige:
1. World and Stage Progress
Your progress across all unlocked worlds will reset. You will start back at Stage 1, Wave 1 of the Leaf Village. While this sounds daunting, your preserved high-rarity units will allow you to breeze through these early stages in a fraction of the time it took during your first run.
2. Yen (In-Game Stage Currency)
Yen is the currency earned during active gameplay waves, used to place and upgrade units mid-battle. When you prestige, your Yen balance is reset to the default starting amount. You will need to earn Yen again by defeating enemies in stages.
3. Temporary Tower Levels (Mid-Game Upgrades)
Any mid-match level-ups and upgrades applied to your towers during a stage defense will reset. Note that this is separate from permanent unit level-ups. For details on permanent progression, read Anime RNG Defense How to Level Up Towers.
Knowing what resets will prevent you from losing valuable resources. For example, you should always spend your temporary Yen on upgrades during your final stage runs, but avoid hoarding Yen right before you click the prestige button, as it will disappear.
| Feature / Resource | Status | Impact on Gameplay |
|---|---|---|
| Stage Progress | Resets | Must replay Leaf Village Stage 1-10, Namek, etc. |
| In-Game Yen | Resets | Starts back at the base amount for Stage 1. |
| Mid-Match Upgrades | Resets | Placed towers start at Level 1 during a match. |
Prestige Rewards and Unlockable Content
Prestiging is not just about resetting; it is the primary way to unlock the game's most powerful upgrades and end-game content. The prestige rewards system offers massive incentives to reset your progress.
Permanent Luck Multipliers
Every time you prestige, you receive a permanent multiplier to your base Luck stat. This increases your chances of rolling Mythical and Divine units without needing to rely solely on temporary potions. To understand how to leverage this luck, read our guide on Anime RNG Defense How to Roll for Units.
World Unlocks
Certain worlds, such as Namek and Hueco Mundo, require a specific prestige level to access. These worlds drop higher-tier crafting materials like Dragon Scales (Namek) and Hollow Fragments (Hueco Mundo), which are essential for crafting Perfect Scrolls and high-tier Luck Potions.
Exclusive Crafting Recipes
Prestiging unlocks advanced recipes in the crafting system. You will be able to craft Instant Roll Potions, Perfect Scrolls (which guarantee an improvement to your unit's Stat Grades from F to S), and high-yield Yen Potions.
| Prestige Level | Permanent Luck Bonus | Unlocked Worlds / Features |
|---|---|---|
| Prestige 1 | +10% Base Luck | Unlocks Namek World, Basic Crafting Recipes |
| Prestige 2 | +25% Base Luck | Unlocks Hueco Mundo World, Perfect Scroll Crafting |
| Prestige 3 | +50% Base Luck | Unlocks Advanced Medals, Elite Challenges |
| Prestige 4+ | +15% Luck per level | Increased drop rates for rare materials |
Strategies to Prepare for Your First Prestige
Before you hit the prestige button, you should optimize your inventory to ensure your next run is as fast and efficient as possible. Follow these strategic steps to maximize your prestige transition:
1. Farm Leaf Village Materials
Since Leaf Village is the easiest world, make sure to farm plenty of Headbands (which have a 50% drop rate in Leaf Village stages) and Boxes before prestiging. These materials carry over and are used to craft essential potions that will speed up your early-game progression in your next run.
2. Spend Your Gems Wisely
Gems are a permanent currency, so you do not need to worry about losing them. However, spending them on rolling for strong traits (like Superior or Cloner) before you prestige ensures your units are overpowered for the early Leaf Village stages. If you need to stock up on Gems, refer to our guide on Anime RNG Defense How to Get Gems Fast.
3. Craft Potions in Advance
Since potions carry over, craft as many Luck Potions, Roll Potions, and Yen Potions as you can. Using a Yen Potion immediately after prestiging allows you to place your expensive Divine or Mythical units on Stage 1, Wave 1, trivializing the early content.
4. Master Tower Placement
When restarting your stage progression, efficient placement is key to clearing waves quickly. Review our Anime RNG Defense Tower Placement Guide to optimize your layout for fast clears. If you run into trouble with early bosses, our guide on Anime RNG Defense How to Beat Boss Waves will help you secure victory.
5. Reroll Traits and Grades
Use your Scrolls to upgrade your main units' Stat Grades to at least A or S. Having S-grade damage or range on your starting units makes the post-prestige grind incredibly smooth.
| Trait Name | Buffs / Effects | Best Unit Archetype |
|---|---|---|
| Superior | +200% DMG, +300% HP, +30% RNG, -15% CD, +1 Spawn Cap | DPS / Boss Killers |
| Cloner | Allows placing an duplicate copy of the unit | Support / Spawners |
| Swift | -20% Cooldown (CD) | Slow/Stun Units |
| Entrepreneur | +15% Yen generation per wave | Money Farms |
| Range | +25% Attack Range | Single-target Snipers |

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Do I lose my Divine units when I prestige in Anime RNG Defense?
No. All units, including Divine, Mythical, and Common rarities, carry over prestige. You will not lose any units, spawners, or their rolled traits/grades when you prestige.
Q2: What is the main reason to prestige?
The main reasons to prestige are to unlock new worlds (like Namek and Hueco Mundo), earn permanent Luck multipliers, and access high-tier crafting materials (such as Dragon Scales and Hollow Fragments) that do not drop in the early stages of the Leaf Village.
Q3: Do my Gems reset when I prestige?
No. Gems are a permanent currency and do not reset. You can safely hoard Gems before prestiging and spend them afterward to roll for new unit traits or purchase scrolls.
Q4: How does the Superior trait affect my units after prestiging?
The Superior trait—which grants +200% DMG, +300% HP, +30% RNG, -15% CD, and +1 Spawn Cap—remains active on your unit. Because your units carry over, a unit with the Superior trait will easily carry you through the early stages of Leaf Village after your stage progress resets.
