Anime Expeditions introduces a surprisingly rewarding fishing minigame that turns the tower‑defense staple into a fresh skill‑based challenge.
Getting Hooked: The Quick Start
The lobby of Anime Expeditions greets you with a basic fishing rod, neatly placed under the fishing icon in the lower‑left corner of the screen. To begin, equip the rod by clicking its button, then glide toward any pool, ideally one adjacent to the new Carrot Summer NPC. Hold left‑mouse to cast, release to launch the line, and wait for the fishing bar to appear. When the indicator lines up with the fish icon, hold the mouse again until the progress bar fills, rewarding the catch.
Mastering the Mini‑Game
Precision is key: the bar’s movement syncs with your mouse, and any jitter will break the timing. If a catch stalls, step into the water; the game disables firing from land, causing a temporary “no catch” state. Staying in the pool ensures uninterrupted gameplay and more frequent bonuses.
Rod Progression & Upgrades
There are five distinct fishing rods available for download during the summer event. Each upgrade offers higher capacity and smoother bar control, allowing players to tackle the more erratic, high‑tier fish that emerge as the game progresses. Acquiring atop rods is a straightforward requirement of the event’s roadmap and unlocks progressively better catches.
Milestone Rewards: A Structured Tiers System
Every successful fish yields Sand Dollars, fishing XP, and milestone XP. Gear up to 25 milestones, each unlocking a specific set of rewards that range from cosmetic upgrades to gameplay perks. Below is the exact per‑level reward stack:
- 250 Sand Dollars

Quick Wins & Strategy
Reaching milestone levels quickly hinges on placing extended fishing sessions into non‑combat downtime. In addition, taking advantage of active code events can instantly grant bonus rewards, cutting the grind for players looking for instant gratification. For those who enjoy risk versus reward, the most ambitious players will funnel most of their fishing XP toward the highest milestones, unlocking the tier‑premium rewards in record time.
