Quick answer
Which Anime Squadron perk should you upgrade first?
Most players should start with Max Yen if expensive units are sitting unused, then add Yen Generation for faster pacing. Base Health is useful when leaks kill runs, but it should not replace better damage or support.
Yen Generation
Faster mid-round deployment and upgrades
Reported cost: +750 Gold per upgrade
Reported gain: +15 Yen per second per upgrade
Upgrade when you can deploy units, but rounds feel slow because income is the wall.
Base Health
Surviving early leaks in Squadron or Raid modes
Reported cost: +5K Gold per upgrade
Reported gain: +1 base stock per upgrade
Upgrade only when enemies are reaching your base before your damage plan comes online.
Upgrade order
Safe Gold spending path
Perks are permanent account-style upgrades, so they are a good place to use Gold after codes. The order should match the problem that is stopping your run.
- 1. Claim current codes before spending Gold, because June 14 code rows include large reported Gold rewards.
- 2. Raise Max Yen first when your strongest unit or carry shell is blocked by the round cap.
- 3. Add Yen Generation when deployment timing is the problem, especially in longer clears.
- 4. Use Base Health as a safety fix for leaks, not as a replacement for damage, support, or better placement.

What is verified versus reported
The Roblox page verifies Anime Squadron identity and release-window game data. Perk names, upgrade costs, and per-upgrade gains currently come from public guide coverage and should be checked in-game before exact long-term planning.
