How to Summon a Chess in Anime Auto Chess

To summon a Unit in Anime Auto Chess, follow the steps.

Open Anime Auto Chess on your favorite platform - PC, Mobile, or Console
Travel to the Summon area using the Teleporter feature on the left side of the menu.
Use the Radiant Emblems earned from matches, codes, or chests to summon new Units or Chess.
Each roll costs around 50 Radiant Emblems, or you can pay 500 Emblems to roll for 10 units simultaneously.

Earn Radiant Emblems from Anime Auto Chess matches and then use them to roll for your favorite unit. There is also a Legendary Pity system that activates after 400 Spins. I also recommend getting the Lucky Game Pass item to boost your luck before spinning.

Yes, you can add Traits to your unit to strengthen it or mask its weaknesses.
