ABA Character Cost Table

Understanding ABA Character Pricing

Anime Battle Arena characters unlock through four paths: free starters, gold purchases, Robux gamepasses, and prestige exclusives from Mr. Randomo. This cost table consolidates every documented price alongside franchise and tier data so you spend gold efficiently before the next Trello nerf.

Cross-reference tiers with 1v1 ranked list and arena list. A cheap C-tier impulse buy wastes gold better saved for Yuji Itadori (1,000 gold, SS tier) or Satoru Gojo (1,500 gold, S tier).

Full Cost Table

Below is the complete character cost reference. Gamepass entries require Robux — see gamepasses page. Prestige entries require level 100 exchange — see prestige guide.

Free & Budget Picks

Free starters Naruto, Sasuke, and Pre-Timeskip Luffy teach fundamentals from how to play. First gold purchase recommendations: Ichigo (500 gold, A tier) or Krillin (1,000 gold, S tier) depending on playstyle. Earn gold via gold methods and Arena grinding.

Premium & Gamepass Fighters

Gamepass characters — Shanks, Whitebeard, Broly (DBS), Goku Black, Minato, Madara, Yamamoto — bypass gold entirely for Robux. Evaluate value on gamepass characters before spending real money. Dr. Random gamepass randomizes owned roster — read Dr. Random guide.

Saitama at 3,100 gold is the most expensive standard gold purchase listed. Most players prioritize meta S-tier picks under 2,500 gold first.

Prestige Exclusives

Prestige characters like Zenitsu show "Prestige" in the cost column — no gold price exists. Unlock only through prestige system. Tier varies; check prestige tier list before grinding multiple level-100 cycles.

Use glossary for terms like gamepass and prestige while shopping. Avoid scripts — gold earned legitimately sticks with your account permanently.
