Which Anime Dice Gives the Best Value for Money?

Direct answerMeasured as Luck gained per price paid, the best early step is Fire → Water (4.00× price for 2.00× Luck) and the best late step is Lunar → Galaxy (4.05× for 2.00×). The worst is Titan → Chrono: 15.00× the price for 2.50× the Luck. No single dice is “best value” in isolation — the step is what you pay for.
Every upgrade step, ranked
Each row compares a dice with the one before it in shop order. The last column is the Luck multiple divided by the price multiple — higher is better value.

The two cheapest steps
Fire → Water is 4.00× the price for 2.00× the Luck — technically the best ratio, but the absolute gain is only 5 Luck, so it ends the moment the starter phase ends. Lunar → Galaxy is the one that matters in practice: 25,000× to 50,000× for 4.05× the price, when every other late step is 6–15×.
The three worst steps
- Titan → Chrono — 15.00× price, 2.50× Luck. The single worst ratio in the snapshot.
- Prismatic → Arcane — 12.00× price, 2.00× Luck.
- Dragon → Royal — 11.76× price, 2.00× Luck.
What this ranking ignores
It ignores income, team composition, traits and grades, because none of those are measured here. A “bad” step can still be correct if it unlocks a unit you need. It also ignores trade value entirely: the number below is shop price, not what a player will pay.
