Anime Ascendants Official and community links

This hub is a link list, not an official Anime Ascendants page. The wiki you are reading is a fan-made guide. We are not the developers, we are not the Anime Ascendants Roblox group, and we do not drop codes. When a Discord announcement, a Trello card, and a wiki paragraph disagree, Discord wins.

Anime Ascendants is a released Roblox tower defense (place ID 15601725874, formerly Special Anime Defense). It is online multiplayer with 16-player servers and it runs on desktop and mobile. The official surfaces below are where the people who actually ship the game post.

Official vs this fan wiki

Source	What it is	Trust it for
Roblox game page	The real experience	Joining the correct place ID
Anime Ascendants group	Official community (155k+ members), owner ST_ivancho	Group rewards (free Miki exclusive), who runs the game
Discord	Live announcements, codes, patch logs, help	Anything that changed this week
Trello	Old information boards from the Special Anime Defense era	Historical names, not current balance
This wiki	Fan guides, codes mirrors, updates write-ups	Convenience. Recheck Discord before you spend tokens.

If a YouTube thumbnail, a random Discord DM, or a lookalike Roblox place asks you to “verify” your account, it is not in the table. Leave.

Official links

• Game: Anime Ascendants on Roblox — place ID 15601725874. This is the live tower defense, not a simulator clone.
• Group: Anime Ascendants community — group ID 15762744, 155k+ members, publicly associated with developer/owner ST_ivancho. Join it for the free Miki exclusive and to confirm you are in the right ecosystem.
• Discord: discord.gg/animeascendants — codes, announcements, update logs, and help. How to join and which channels to pin is on the Discord page.
• Trello (current bookmark): Official Special Anime Defense information v1 — columns for units, traits, maps, evolution, and challenges. Largely stale since the 2024 rework.
• Trello (older board): Special Anime Defense — even older. Useful only when you are mapping SAD names from pre-rework guides. How to read both boards is on the Trello page.

Bookmark the game and the Discord first. Treat Trello as an archive. Treat this wiki as a structured mirror of what those two say.

Fake games and lookalikes

Roblox search is noisy. Anime Ascendants (this wiki, place 15601725874, group 15762744) is not:

• Anime Ascension — an incremental simulator (train, rebirth, infinity tower) by a different studio. Same-ish name, different genre, different codes.
• Anime Ascensions (plural) — a different wiki and a different experience. Trait names, currencies, and NPCs from that game will not work here.
• Random “Anime Ascendant”, “Special Anime Defense 2”, or misspelled places that copy the thumbnail.

If the place ID is not 15601725874, you are not in Anime Ascendants. Codes from a simulator will not redeem in the tower defense, and “verify to claim Ascendant” links are scams. When in doubt, open the game from the official group page, not from a search ad.

What to open after the links

• Live strings: Codes Hub, how to redeem, expired codes.
• Patch context: Updates Hub and events.
• Play guides: Guides Hub and Getting Started.
• Planning: Tools Hub, trait planner, team builder.
• Rankings: tier list, units, traits.

None of those pages replace Discord when a code expires in the same afternoon it dropped.

How this hub is organised

Two child pages go deeper than a bullet list:

1. Trello — column by column (units, traits, maps, evolution, challenges), plus why the boards froze after the rework and how to map old SAD names.
2. Discord — invite steps, which channels to watch, why codes appear there first, and how not to get traded into a stolen account.

If you only have time for one official tab besides the game itself, open Discord. If you are reading a 2024 screenshot that still says Special Anime Defense, open Trello as a dictionary, then confirm the current name in Discord or on this wiki’s units list.

Desktop, mobile, and 16-player lobbies

The links work on desktop and mobile browsers. The Roblox app on a phone can join the same 16-player servers as a PC. Discord on mobile is how most people catch a code while they are already in a match. Trello is painful on a small screen; use it on desktop when you are mapping old names, not during a raid.

This fan wiki will keep the URLs above updated when the group or invite changes. It will not pretend to be ST_ivancho’s staff channel. If a page here ever tells you to log into Roblox through a third-party form, close it — that would be a compromise, not an official link.

Pin the Roblox place, the group, and discord.gg/animeascendants. Leave the simulator clones, the extra-s Ascensions wikis, and the “free Ascendant trait” DMs off your home screen. The rest of this site exists to explain what those three official surfaces already said, in a layout you can search. That is the entire Links Hub: the real URLs, the fake ones, and a reminder that a fan wiki is a mirror, not a patch server.
