Anime Astral Simulator Update 1.5: Timeless Raids, Merchant & Cosmic Gacha Explained

What's new in Anime Astral Simulator Update 1.5 — Timeless Keys and Raids, the Merchant, the Cosmic Gacha, Ninja Village progression, the Kurami bundle and 9 new codes.

Barely four days after Update 1, Anime Astral Simulator shipped Update 1.5 — and it quietly fixes the thing players complained about most in our Update 1 breakdown: the Raid Map that was in the patch notes but missing from the game. It’s here now as the Timeless Raid, alongside a Merchant, a new lobby Cosmic Gacha, a reworked Ninja Village progression line, and one of the biggest code drops the game has had.

Everything below is community-reported from launch-week videos and streams — the official Trello hadn’t been updated for 1.5 when we last checked. Verify in-game.

Timeless Raids and Timeless Keys

The headline feature. The Timeless Raid (some sources call it the Limited Raid) is a wave/tower-style mode that costs 1 Timeless Key per entry. Keys are community-reported as a roughly 5% drop from secret bosses — the documented example is Itachi, the hidden side-quest boss in Ninja Village, so he’s suddenly worth farming again.

Inside, you clear escalating waves for Timeless currency and per-wave achievement bonuses (community footage shows +5% damage, +5% yen, +5% power and +0.5 luck steps). Two more things community sources report:

  • The raid has a low-chance Divine pet drop (Kurami — see below).
  • It’s AFK-able at max Range: with the Range upgrade at level 13, your hits cover the waves without repositioning. Range still levels through Solo City gates, so Update 1 grinding feeds directly into this.

The Merchant and Timeless Coins

Raids pay out Timeless Coins, and a new Merchant spends them. Beyond that, details are thin: no source we track has published the Merchant’s full stock or prices yet. We’ll flesh this section out once the inventory is documented — treat any specific price list you see elsewhere as unverified for now.

Cosmic Gacha in the Lobby

The Lobby Arena gained a Cosmic Gacha rolled with a new Cosmic currency. Community videos show it paying out stat bonuses and Timeless Keys, which makes it a second key source if boss farming isn’t going your way. Rates are unpublished.

New Ninja Village progression

World 1 got a new progression line built on Ninja Tokens, which drop a few at a time from Ninja Village mini-bosses (community reports say 2–3 per kill). Tokens feed upgrade rolls — footage shows steps like a ~15% chance roll for bonus strength and a ~50% chance roll for power. It’s a welcome reason to revisit Ninja Village beyond Itachi key runs, and it pairs naturally with the existing Dojoutsu grind there.

The Kurami bundle — promising, unverified

Update 1.5’s store bundle includes Kurami, a Divine fighter, plus one of every potion and 199 F2P Tickets. One community video reports Kurami at x22,500 — which would put it above Bezu (x15,000) as the strongest unit in the game. The same video says the raid can drop it at a low chance.

We want to be clear about confidence here: that multiplier comes from a single unverified source, so Kurami’s page is marked pending and we keep it out of our fighters ranking until a second source or the Trello confirms it. If you’re deciding whether to buy the bundle, treat x22,500 as a rumor, not a stat.

Nine new codes — including the biggest one yet

Update 1.5 landed with the largest code wave so far, all community-reported and live as of June 10:

CodeReward
REWARDSFIXED500 F2P Tickets + 5 potions — the most valuable code in the game
SORRYFORSHUTDOWN3200 F2P Tickets + 5 potions
17KPLAYERS200 F2P Tickets + 5 potions
UPDATE1.5200 F2P Tickets + 5 potions
3KEVENT200 F2P Tickets + 5 potions
3MVISITS / 3.5MVISITS200 F2P Tickets + 5 potions each
8KLIKES / 4KFAVS200 F2P Tickets + 5 potions each

REWARDSFIXED was compensation for a rewards bug (and SORRYFORSHUTDOWN3 for the third emergency shutdown — this dev team apologizes in currency). The full working list, including every older milestone code, lives on the codes page.

Smaller changes

  • Lobby UI rework — cleaner menus, new gacha placement
  • Gate achievements and raid achievements added
  • Assorted fixes following the Update 1 launch bugs (the missing Arise prompt among them — community reports say it still misfires occasionally)

Should you care?

If Update 1 was the content drop, 1.5 is the retention patch: a reason to farm World 1 again (keys + Ninja Tokens), a reason to max Range (AFK raids), and 1,800 F2P Tickets of free codes to roll with. Start with the codes, farm Itachi for a key, and put your first Timeless Coins toward whatever the Merchant turns out to sell — we’ll update once that’s documented. New to the game entirely? Start with the fighters database and world order instead, then come back once you’ve cleared Titan Wall.

FAQ

How do you get a Timeless Key in Anime Astral Simulator?

Community reports say Timeless Keys drop at around 5% from secret bosses — the documented example is Itachi, the hidden side-quest boss in Ninja Village. Each Timeless Raid entry costs one key. Verify in-game.

Is Kurami the best pet in the game?

Unverified. A single community video reports x22,500 for Kurami, which would beat Bezu's x15,000 — but no second source or Trello entry confirms it yet, so we list Kurami as pending. Don't spend based on that number alone.

Can you AFK the Timeless Raid?

Community reports say yes once your Range upgrade is maxed (level 13) — your attacks then cover the raid waves without repositioning. Verify in-game.

What new codes came with Update 1.5?

Nine community-reported codes, including REWARDSFIXED (500 F2P Tickets — the most valuable code in the game right now), SORRYFORSHUTDOWN3, 17KPLAYERS, UPDATE1.5, 3KEVENT, 3MVISITS, 3.5MVISITS, 8KLIKES and 4KFAVS.
