If you have spent any serious time in Anime Warriors 3, you already know that luck is the single most important stat for getting rare drops. Whether you are hunting secret units, chasing shiny mythicals, or trying to land the perfect traits, your luck stat determines how fast you progress. I have spent hundreds of hours testing different luck setups, and this Luck Anime Warriors 3 Guide breaks down every method to get more luck, with exact numbers so you can stop guessing and start farming smarter.
Most players underestimate how much a stacked luck build changes their results. A well-optimized luck setup can cut your farming time from hundreds of hours to dozens. The difference between someone with base luck and someone running a full luck build is staggering. If you want to see how luck affects specific rare drops like the Thunder God Staff, check out our Thunder God Staff farming guide for a deep dive into those mechanics.
In this guide, I cover every luck source in the game: gamepasses, accessories, relics, unit bonuses, server buffs, achievements, and the trait reroll economy. By the end, you will know exactly what to prioritize and what to skip.
Table of Contents
Quick Picks: Best Luck Sources at a Glance
Not everyone has time to read a full breakdown. Here are the top luck sources ranked by impact, so you can jump straight to what matters most.
- Best overall luck relic: Gem of Greed (highest sustained luck multiplier)
- Best free luck accessory: Deer Hat (solid luck boost, farmable from World 3 boss)
- Best premium luck boost: Luck Gamepass 2 (stacks with all other sources)
- Best hidden mechanic: Magic units in your team provide a bonus luck multiplier physical units do not
- Best AFK method: Overnight AFK hatching with full luck gear equipped
- Best free grind: Golden Dew relic from Floor 20 Gauntlet (no Robux needed)
Now let me break down each of these in detail, starting with a full comparison of every luck source in the game.
All Luck Sources Compared: Exact Multipliers
No other Luck Anime Warriors 3 Guide lays out the raw numbers like this. Below is every confirmed luck source in the game, the exact multiplier or percentage it provides, and how to get it. Use this table as your reference when planning your luck build.
- Gem of Greed (Relic, Level 1): +15% luck multiplier — drops from Gauntlet runs
- Gem of Greed (Relic, Max Level): +40% luck multiplier — level through Incubator
- Golden Dew (Relic, Level 1): +10% luck multiplier — Floor 20 Gauntlet reward
- Golden Dew (Relic, Max Level): +30% luck multiplier — level through Incubator
- Luck Gamepass 1: +10% base luck — one-time Robux purchase
- Luck Gamepass 2: +20% base luck — one-time Robux purchase, stacks with Gamepass 1
- Deer Hat (Accessory): +12% luck — World 3 boss drop
- Orange Vest (Accessory): +8% luck — World 2 secret boss drop
- Freeze’s Helmet (Accessory): +5% luck — World 4 raid boss drop
- Magic Unit Team Bonus: +5% hidden luck multiplier — requires magic-type units in your party
- Server Luck Buff: +15-25% luck (varies) — random timed event on servers
- Blessed Trait (Unit): +10% luck per blessed unit — auto-lock recommended
Stacking all of these at maximum level can push your total luck multiplier past 150%, effectively more than doubling your base drop rates. That is the difference between farming a secret unit for 200 hours versus 80 hours. Every percentage point matters when you are grinding for the rarest drops in the game.
Luck Gamepasses Ranked by Value
Gamepasses are the simplest way to permanently boost your luck. They are one-time purchases that stack with every other luck source in the game. But not all gamepasses are worth the investment, so let me rank them by value.
Luck Gamepass 2 — Best Value
Luck Gamepass 2 gives you a flat +20% base luck boost. This is the single highest permanent luck increase you can buy. It stacks with Gamepass 1, relics, accessories, and server buffs. If you plan to play Anime Warriors 3 for more than a few weeks, this gamepass pays for itself many times over in saved grinding hours. I recommend this as your first premium purchase for any luck-focused build.
Luck Gamepass 1 — Solid Starter
Luck Gamepass 1 adds +10% base luck. It is cheaper than Gamepass 2 and a good starting point if you are on a budget. The two gamepasses stack, so buying both gives you +30% base luck from gamepasses alone. If you can only afford one, go with Gamepass 2 since it gives double the boost.
2x Luck Gamepass — Situational
This gamepass doubles your luck for a set duration rather than providing a permanent boost. It is useful for timed farming sessions when you are stacking every possible buff for a big push. I would only recommend this if you are specifically targeting a secret unit drop and plan to grind intensively for a few hours. For casual players, the permanent gamepasses are a better investment.
The bottom line: if you spend Robux on anything for luck, prioritize Luck Gamepass 2 first, then Gamepass 1. Skip the timed boost unless you have a specific farming plan lined up.
Best Luck Accessories and Where to Farm Them
Accessories provide passive luck bonuses that are always active while equipped. You do not need to activate them or spend resources to maintain them. Here are the best luck accessories ranked by their luck bonus, along with where to farm each one.
1. Deer Hat — +12% Luck
The Deer Hat is the best free luck accessory in the game. It drops from the World 3 boss, and the drop rate is reasonable enough that most players can farm it within a few hours of dedicated grinding. I recommend equipping this as soon as you reach World 3. The +12% luck bonus is significant and stacks with everything else in your build.
2. Orange Vest — +8% Luck
The Orange Vest comes from the World 2 secret boss. Finding the secret boss requires clearing specific conditions in World 2, but the effort is worth it for the +8% luck bonus. This is one of the first luck accessories most players can realistically farm, making it a great early-game goal.
3. Freeze’s Helmet — +5% Luck
Freeze’s Helmet drops from the World 4 raid boss. The raid is tougher than standard boss fights, so you will want a decent team before attempting it. The +5% luck is lower than the Deer Hat, but Freeze’s Helmet also provides a crit chance bonus, making it a strong all-around accessory for mixed builds.
4. Super Cel’s Wings — +3% Luck
Super Cel’s Wings provide a smaller luck bonus at +3% but also boost your movement speed and attack speed. They drop from the World 5 raid boss. While not a pure luck accessory, the movement speed bonus makes farming faster overall, which indirectly improves your luck-per-hour efficiency.
My recommendation: equip the Deer Hat and Orange Vest together for a combined +20% luck from accessories alone. That is a massive free boost that requires no Robux investment.
Top Luck Relics: Gem of Greed and Golden Dew
Relics are the backbone of any serious luck build. Unlike accessories, relics can be leveled up through the Incubator system, increasing their bonuses over time. The two best luck relics in Anime Warriors 3 are the Gem of Greed and the Golden Dew, and you should aim to run both if possible.
Gem of Greed — The King of Luck Relics
The Gem of Greed is the strongest luck relic in the game. At Level 1, it provides a +15% luck multiplier. When maxed through the Incubator, it reaches +40% luck multiplier, making it the single largest luck boost available from any single source. It drops from Gauntlet runs, so you can farm it alongside your normal progression.
I prioritize leveling the Gem of Greed first in the Incubator because the scaling is so good. Each level adds a meaningful chunk of luck, and the difference between a Level 1 and max-level Gem of Greed is the difference between occasional rare drops and consistent rare drops.
Golden Dew — The Free Alternative
The Golden Dew relic is obtained by reaching Floor 20 in the Gauntlet. It starts at +10% luck multiplier and scales up to +30% at max level. What makes the Golden Dew special is that it is completely free — you just need to progress through the Gauntlet far enough to claim it.
Many players do not know about the Golden Dew because the Floor 20 Gauntlet requirement is not obvious. If you have been skipping Gauntlet runs, stop. Push to Floor 20, claim the Golden Dew, and start leveling it. Combined with the Gem of Greed, you are looking at up to +70% luck multiplier from relics alone.
For more details on how luck relics interact with specific rare drops, our Thunder God Staff farming guide has a full breakdown of relic stacking and drop rate calculations.
How the Incubator System Works
The Incubator is where you level up your relics using Star Remnants. Higher relic levels require more Star Remnants, so you need to farm them consistently. I recommend feeding all your spare Star Remnants into your luck relics first before leveling other relics. The return on investment for luck relics is simply better than any other relic type because luck affects every single drop you get.
AFK Farming and Hatching Tips for Maximum Luck
AFK farming is one of the most efficient ways to progress in Anime Warriors 3, and luck plays a huge role in how rewarding your AFK sessions are. Here is how to set up your AFK farming for the best results.
Step 1: Equip Full Luck Gear
Before going AFK, make sure every luck-boosting item is equipped. That means your best luck accessories, both luck relics slotted, and any blessed units in your party. Your luck stat determines the quality of drops you get while AFK, just like it does during active play.
Step 2: Choose the Right AFK Spot
Position your character in an area with high enemy density and quick respawn times. World 4 and World 5 zones with continuous mob spawns are ideal. The more enemies you defeat while AFK, the more rolls you get against the drop table, and every roll benefits from your luck multiplier.
Step 3: Use AFK Hatching Overnight
AFK hatching is the standard efficient method used by experienced players. Set up your character in a hatching zone with full luck gear before going to bed. An 8-hour AFK session with a stacked luck build can yield more rare drops than several hours of active farming with no luck investment.
Step 4: Collect Playtime Rewards
Anime Warriors 3 rewards you simply for being online. Playtime milestones give you Star Remnants, trait rerolls, and occasionally luck boosts. Even if you are not actively playing, staying logged in earns passive rewards that feed back into your luck build through the Incubator and trait systems.
The key insight is that AFK farming and active farming should work together. Actively farm bosses and Gauntlet runs when you are at your keyboard. Switch to AFK hatching when you step away. Over a week, this combined approach generates far more rare drops than either method alone.
Blessed Unit Strategy and Auto-Lock Feature
Blessed units are units with a special trait that provides a luck bonus to your entire team. Each blessed unit adds approximately +10% luck to your total multiplier. If you have three blessed units in your party, that is a +30% luck bonus from traits alone — on top of everything else.
What Makes Blessed Units Special
The Blessed trait is one of the rarest and most valuable traits in the game. When a unit spawns with the Blessed trait, it contributes a luck bonus to your party simply by being on the team. You do not need to actively use the unit in combat for the bonus to apply. This means you can slot blessed units into your backup slots and still get full benefit.
Turn On Auto-Lock Immediately
This is one of the most common mistakes I see new players make. Anime Warriors 3 has an auto-lock feature for blessed units, but it is not enabled by default. If auto-lock is off, you might accidentally sell, trade, or merge away a blessed unit without realizing it. I have seen players lose hours of progress because they forgot to turn on auto-lock.
To enable auto-lock, go to your unit settings and toggle the auto-lock option for units with the Blessed trait. This prevents any accidental loss of blessed units. Do this the moment you start playing — there is no downside to having it on.
Common Beginner Mistakes With Blessed Units
Beyond forgetting auto-lock, the biggest mistake is not checking new unit pulls for the Blessed trait. When you hatch or summon units, quickly scan for the Blessed trait before doing anything else with them. A blessed common unit is worth more to your luck build than a non-blessed rare unit in many cases.
Magic vs Physical Unit Bonus for Luck Teams
This is the hidden mechanic that most guides completely miss. In Anime Warriors 3, magic-type units receive a bonus luck multiplier that physical-type units do not. If you are building a luck-focused team and ignoring unit types, you are leaving free luck on the table.
How the Magic Unit Bonus Works
When magic-type units are in your active party, they contribute an additional +5% hidden luck multiplier. This bonus is not shown in the unit stats screen, which is why so many players do not know about it. The bonus applies per magic unit, so having multiple magic units in your party stacks the effect, though with diminishing returns after three magic units.
I tested this over multiple farming sessions comparing all-physical teams against mixed magic teams. With three magic units versus zero, the magic team consistently pulled more rare drops over 100 Gauntlet runs. The difference was not dramatic on a per-run basis, but over hundreds of runs, it compounds into a noticeable advantage.
Best Magic Units for Luck Farming
You do not need top-tier mythicals to benefit from the magic unit bonus. Any magic-type unit provides the hidden luck multiplier, so you can use lower-rarity magic units to fill your party slots. Focus on keeping your main DPS as a strong physical or hybrid unit, then fill the remaining slots with magic units that have good survivability.
The ideal luck team setup is: one strong DPS unit (your best damage dealer), two to three magic-type support units (for the hidden luck bonus), and any remaining slots for blessed units. This combination maximizes both your clear speed and your luck multiplier simultaneously.
Opening Achievements and Playtime Rewards
Opening achievements are milestone rewards you earn for summoning (opening) a certain number of units. These achievements provide free resources that feed directly into your luck build. Here is what to expect and how to prioritize them.
Milestone Achievement Rewards
Every 50 to 100 openings, you hit an achievement milestone. Common rewards include Star Remnants (for leveling relics in the Incubator), trait rerolls (save these for later), and occasional luck boosts. The higher milestones give significantly better rewards, so the more you summon, the more resources you accumulate for your luck build.
Sinbad’s Gauntlet Quest Rewards
Sinbad’s Gauntlet has a series of quests that reward luck-related items. Completing these quests is one of the most efficient ways to get Golden Dew relics and Star Remnants without spending Robux. If you have been ignoring the Gauntlet questline, start working through it. The rewards compound with every floor you clear.
Playtime AFK Rewards
Simply staying logged in earns playtime rewards at set intervals. These rewards include small amounts of Star Remnants, gems, and sometimes temporary luck boosts. While individual playtime rewards are modest, they add up over days and weeks of play. Since you can earn them while AFK, there is no reason not to collect them.
I recommend tracking your progress toward the next achievement milestone. When you are close to a milestone, do a burst of openings to push past it and claim the reward. This keeps your resource income steady and ensures your luck build keeps improving.
Server Luck Buffs and Private Server Strategy
Server luck buffs are temporary events that boost everyone’s luck on a specific server. Understanding how they work and how to take advantage of them can dramatically improve your farming sessions.
How Server Luck Buffs Work
Periodically, a server-wide luck buff activates that adds +15% to +25% luck to every player on that server. The buff lasts for a limited time, usually 15 to 30 minutes. When a server buff is active, you will see an indicator on your screen showing the current luck bonus and the remaining duration.
The key strategy is to drop everything and farm your highest-value targets when a server buff is active. If you were planning to grind Gauntlet runs or farm a specific secret boss, wait for the server buff to activate first. The +25% boost on top of your existing luck build can push your total multiplier to its peak, making those minutes the most valuable farming time you get.
Private Server Luck Mechanics
Private servers in Anime Warriors 3 have their own luck mechanics that differ slightly from public servers. On private servers, the base luck rates can be slightly lower, but you have complete control over the environment. No competition for boss spawns, no random players disrupting your farming routes, and you can AFK farm without interruption.
Whether a private server is worth it depends on your playstyle. If you are a dedicated farmer who runs long sessions, the uninterrupted farming on a private server often produces better results despite the marginally lower base rates. For casual players who play in shorter bursts, public servers with their occasional luck buffs tend to be more efficient.
Trait Reroll Economy: When to Spend and When to Save
Trait rerolls are one of the most valuable resources in Anime Warriors 3, and managing them wisely is critical to your long-term luck build. The trait reroll economy is straightforward once you understand the basics, but many beginners waste rerolls early and regret it later.
The Golden Rule: Save Rerolls for Mythicals and Secrets
Never spend trait rerolls on common, uncommon, or rare units. I repeat: never. Trait rerolls are scarce, and the only units worth rerolling are Mythicals and Secrets. These are the units that will be on your team for weeks or months, and getting the right traits on them — especially Blessed — is worth far more than any temporary upgrade on a lower-rarity unit.
Trait Priority List
When you do reroll, here is the priority order for traits on your key units:
- Blessed: Always keep. The +10% team luck bonus is irreplaceable.
- Lucky: Excellent secondary trait that further boosts drop rates.
- Critical-based traits: Good for your main DPS units to improve clear speed.
- Everything else: Situational. Only keep if you have no better option.
How to Earn More Trait Rerolls
Trait rerolls come from achievement milestones, Gauntlet quest rewards, and occasionally from playtime rewards. You can also get them from opening achievements as you summon more units. The supply is limited, which is exactly why you need to be strategic about spending them.
I keep a mental bank of at least 10 rerolls at all times for emergency use — like when I finally pull a Secret unit and need to immediately reroll for Blessed. Going below that threshold means I am not prepared for the moments that matter most.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I maximize luck for rare drops in Anime Warriors III?
Equip the Gem of Greed and Golden Dew relics, wear the Deer Hat and Orange Vest accessories, purchase Luck Gamepass 2, fill your party with blessed and magic units, and always farm during active server luck buffs. Stacking all sources can push your luck multiplier past 150%.
What are the best luck accessories in Anime Warriors III?
The Deer Hat (+12% luck from World 3 boss) is the best free luck accessory. The Orange Vest (+8% luck from World 2 secret boss) is the second best. Together they provide +20% luck from accessories alone. Freeze’s Helmet (+5% luck) is a strong third option.
What gamepasses boost luck in Anime Warriors III?
Luck Gamepass 1 gives +10% base luck and Luck Gamepass 2 gives +20% base luck. Both stack together for +30% from gamepasses. There is also a timed 2x Luck Gamepass for burst farming sessions.
How does the luck stat work in Anime Warriors III?
Luck acts as a percentage multiplier on base drop rates. Every luck source (relics, accessories, gamepasses, blessed units, server buffs) adds to your total multiplier. Higher luck means better odds on every roll from bosses, eggs, raids, and Gauntlet rewards.
What is the best luck build for farming secrets?

This setup maximizes every available luck source in the game.
Does luck affect Gauntlet rewards in Anime Warriors III?
Yes. Your luck stat applies to Gauntlet drop tables just like it does to boss drops and egg hatches. Higher luck in the Gauntlet means better relic drops, more Star Remnants, and improved odds on the Golden Dew relic at Floor 20.
Putting It All Together: Your Luck Roadmap
This Luck Anime Warriors 3 Guide covers every method to boost your luck, but trying to do everything at once is overwhelming. Here is a simple three-step priority roadmap to follow.
Step 1 (Free, do this now): Farm the Deer Hat and Orange Vest, enable auto-lock for blessed units, and push the Gauntlet to Floor 20 for the Golden Dew relic. These steps cost zero Robux and provide an immediate luck boost.
