Anime Dimensions Simulator Pets Update (historical, still live)

The pets patch is older than the 24 July 2026 mini update, but it is not a retired event. Albatross Games wrote it into the Roblox description as a Pets Update with the historical code PETS. The systems it added — companions, capsules, energy skills, fodder upgrades — are still how the live client works. This page is the archive of those notes plus what they mean after limited raid items went permanent and AFK Place started paying weekend 2x.

Anime Dimensions Simulator has been released since 11 June 2021. Pets are a live system, not a future teaser. If a 2022 video still shows the original nine and a shop capsule row, that video is describing the same loop you have today, even if the pet roster has grown. For loadouts and which pet to actually equip, use the pets guide. This article is the patch, not the full bestiary.

What the original pets notes said

The localized Roblox descriptions from that era listed a short, official feature set:

• Nine pets shipped in that wave.
• You get pets in the shop or by completing all daily quests.
• Pets gain energy when they hit enemies. Fill the bar and the pet fires a skill.
• Extra copies of a pet upgrade the one you already have. Duplicates are fodder, not a second body on the field.
• Pet Capsule Series 1 went into the shop (gems, raid tokens, or speed-raid tokens depending on the capsule).
• The daily quest final reward changed from a token dump into a pet capsule.
• Boosts pause when a dimension ends.
• The raid team damage boost no longer breaks when a player leaves the lobby.
• A small UI note: the personality-test cooldown toggle was removed. It does not affect combat. Ignore it unless you are reading an ancient settings screenshot.

Those bullets are why people still farm dailies even on a week with no new raid banner.

How pets still work in the live game

A pet is a follower, not a second player. It does not eat incoming attacks for you. It sits behind your fighter, builds energy on hits, and then casts. Energy cost and the skill itself scale with rarity. Early rare pets are a damage bump or a small heal. Higher rarities add sub-stats (extra damage, cooldown cuts, short invuln, crit). You do not need the entire original nine. You need one pet you can feed.

Shop versus dailies. Capsules are the gacha. Completing the full daily list is the free roll. Daily quests still look like: log in, clear a dimension, clear a dimension with at least one other player (this is online co-op, not local split-screen), clear a raid once you are level 15, clear Boss Rush, then claim the final reward. That final chest is the capsule the pets patch promised. Missing the co-op daily is how people “have no pets” three weeks in.

Fodder. Extra pets upgrade existing pets. Do not keep a second weak pet “for later” if your main pet is one copy from a rank. The pets guide covers which names are worth feeding.

Pity (community-tested, not a Trello). There is no Trello. Players still treat gem capsules as a long pity toward legendary and raid-token capsules as a longer pity toward mythic. Counts reset when you hit the high rarity. Plan token spends around that, especially now that the latest mini update made limited items permanent. You can skip a costume rotation to finish a capsule pity. You should not skip a pity to buy gold.

Why the side notes still matter

Boosts pause when a dimension ends. If a 30-minute Extra Drop or 2x EXP timer is running and you finish a dimension, the timer freezes on the results / hub return. That is why AFK farmers are told to sit in AFK Place instead of looping a dimension they cannot finish. Weekend 2x from the mini update stacks on top of this rule; it does not cancel it. Details are on the AFK farm guide.

Raid team damage boost survives a leaver. Before this patch, one player quitting could brick the party’s damage buff and turn an eight-minute raid into a wipe. After the patch, the remaining 1–7 players keep the team boost. That is the entire reason overnight raid groups can lose a member and still clear. It is also why you should not rage-leave at 0:30 — you are not “saving” the party by exiting.

Codes. The historical PETS code is an old description line. Do not assume it still redeems. Always use the live list on codes. Level 10 is still the gate. MINIUPDATE is the 24 July 2026 code; it is not a pet capsule by itself.

How this patch interacts with raids and the mini update

Pets are a raid-token sink. Capsules compete with costumes and (now permanent) raid items. After 24 July 2026:

• Spend tokens on capsules if your pet is still a low rarity and you can actually use the skill in raids.
• Spend tokens on permanent items if a craft or accessory is blocking a build.
• Spend tokens on rotating costumes only when the weekly row is a skin you will keep.
• Do not spend raid-shop gold on early cards. Wait for the level 85 dimension gold jump.

The original nine-pet wave is also why later limited pets exist at all. Gear 5, Joto, Black Asta, and the billion-visit week (Alien Nightmare 141+, Speed, Dominator, Galaxy Katana UGC) added more names on top. Those events are over. The energy-on-hit rule did not get retired with them.

Creator @coolbullsAS and builder @d5no_ never moved pets onto a Trello. If a capsule pity screenshot and the in-game shop disagree, the shop wins.

If a capsule is about to pity a high rarity and you are still inside a dimension you cannot finish, stop the run first so a boost clock does not freeze on the result screen, then spin. That one habit is the pets patch and the AFK rules working together, and it is the part most 2022 recap videos skip.
