How to Unlock Characters in Shonen Unleashed

There are seven starter characters in Shonen Unleashed: Izuku Midoriya, Tanjiro Kamado, Jonathan Joestar, Ichigo Kurosaki, Monkey D. Luffy, Naruto Uzumaki, and Son Goku. You will get to pick one of the three randomly selected starters for free. If you need help with picking your starter, check out our Shonen Unleashed tier list.

You can unlock the remaining starters for 1000 cash and other non-starter characters for 2000 cash each. There are a few exceptions: Guts and Yuji cost 100 tokens, while Saitama is unlocked through a quest that requires you to win five ranked matches with each starter.

How to Unlock Variations in Shonen Unleashed

Some characters have awakening variations. You can unlock them through the character path system at level 10. If you want to unlock a variation as soon as possible, your best bet is to play ranked, as it has an x1.4 XP multiplier. On average, it should take you around three hours of grinding to get the variation you want.

How to Progress Through Levels in Shonen Unleashed

There are currently two separate progression systems in Shonen Unleashed. With player levels, you unlock titles and a prestige system that is still in development. The character path system lets you unlock their variation (if they have one) and some really cool cosmetics such as skins, emotes, titles, and a mastery aura at specific levels.

How to Farm XP Fast

The best way to farm XP is through ranked modes because of the increased multiplier they have. Grinding other game modes is viable as well but less rewarding. While you are in the AFK lobby or on a private server, you earn 10 or 20 (with Roblox Premium) XP every five minutes. Some daily quests give you a bit of XP as a reward as well.

How to Farm Currency in Shonen Unleashed

How to Get Cash

You get cash based on your performance in ranked or casual game modes, even when playing on private servers. Achievements, daily quests, leveling up, and character paths all give you a lot of cash passively, but you can’t redo them. If you are on a private server or in the AFK lobby, you will get 10 or 20 (with Roblox Premium) cash every five minutes.

How to Get Tokens

The easiest way to farm tokens is through ranked game modes. You get five tokens for every win and one token per kill if you lose. Also, based on your highest rank across all ranked modes at the end of the season, you will get 500 cash and 50 tokens for each rank above bronze that you peaked at. Daily quests and some character path levels grant tokens as well.

Lastly, you can purchase both cash and tokens from the battlepass store. However, this is not worth it because of how easily you can farm both currencies just by playing Shonen Unleashed.

I hope you level fast and get to buy everything you want in this Roblox experience with the info above. If you want to learn more about SU, feel free to check out the Shonen Unleashed section of our website for more articles.
