Beginner Guide
Everything newcomers should know before stepping into Nova City.
Getting Started
① Know the World
ANANTA is an open-world urban RPG set in Nova City, a metropolis where reality coexists with anomalies. Understanding the world and key factions is the foundation of everything.
② Learn Combat
Combat revolves around Esper abilities and character switching, with melee/ranged weapons. Mastering perfect dodges and elemental reactions boosts output.
③ Progression
Character growth uses Trigger Guides, Chaos EXP, ascension and skill materials. Prioritize your main carry and use crafting plus the Esper Exchange.
④ Explore the City
Nova City has residential, commercial and financial districts with a day-night cycle and metro. Exploration, parkour and collecting specialties provide daily resources.
