Beginner Guide: First 30 Minutes in Cut Grass for Anime Characters
If you just spawned in and you are looking for a cut grass for anime characters beginner guide, the short version is this: open the in-game Codes menu, paste NewPlayersOnly for one million starter cash, then put every coin you can into damage upgrades for the first ten minutes. After that, you start thinking about Luck buffs, offline income, and your first rebirth.
This guide walks through the first thirty minutes the way a returning idle-game player would actually play them. It is short on flourish and long on what to click.
First five minutes
The opening loop is simple. You spawn with a basic cutting tool, you swing it on a patch of grass, the grass drops cash, and the cash buys upgrades. Before you do any of that, redeem your codes.
Find the Codes button on the side menu (most idle Roblox UIs put it in a vertical stack on the left or right edge of the screen). Open it, paste NewPlayersOnly exactly as written, and submit. You should see a 1,000,000 cash payout. While you are in the menu, also paste the other three live codes — UseThisForGalaxies, NewUpdate!!!, and 2ndUpdateLesGooo!!! — so they are banked. The full list lives on the codes page, and we update it whenever a new one drops.
Codes are case-sensitive and one-redemption-per-save. If a code does not work, double-check the capitalisation and the exclamation marks.
What to upgrade first
With a million cash in hand, your first instinct will be to buy everything. Don’t. The standard idle-game heuristic is damage first, radius second, Luck third, and there is no reason to think this game breaks the pattern. Damage scales your per-swing yield linearly; radius scales how much grass you cover per swing; Luck affects the rarity distribution of the anime characters you unlock.
Note: this ordering is general idle-game guidance. We have not yet measured per-upgrade return-on-investment in-game, so if you find a curve where radius outperforms damage early, trust the numbers in front of you over this paragraph.
A working rule of thumb for the first thirty minutes:
- Spend roughly 70% of cash on damage
- 20% on radius
- 10% banked for Luck and the first character pull
If a damage upgrade costs more than five swings of grass to pay back, switch to radius. If a radius upgrade does not visibly widen your swing arc, switch back to damage.
When to rebirth
Rebirth resets your cash and your basic upgrades in exchange for a permanent multiplier and, in most idle games of this genre, a small bump to your attack radius and an unlock toward the next zone. It is the single most important mechanic to understand, because the whole game is built around stacking rebirths.
Specific rebirth thresholds are not publicly documented for this game yet. The standard idle-game rule is to rebirth when your current cash-per-second is roughly double your last-rebirth rate, which usually translates to a 30-to-60-minute first cycle and faster cycles after that. If your rate has plateaued and the next damage upgrade costs more than ten minutes of farming, rebirth instead.
Do not hoard cash before a rebirth. Cash you have not spent is cash you are about to lose. Buy the last upgrade you can afford, then pull the lever.
What is Luck?
Luck is a modifier that increases the chance of pulling rare characters when you unlock a new one. The code UseThisForGalaxies gives you five minutes of 2x Luck. That is a focused buff, not a passive — redeem it when you are ready to do a concentrated farming run, not the moment you log in.
Practical pattern: queue up enough cash to afford five-to-ten character pulls, redeem UseThisForGalaxies, then pull during the buff window. If you pull pre-buff, you wasted the multiplier on bad odds.

Common new-player mistakes
A short list, all of them avoidable:
- Ignoring rebirth. New players treat the first cash total as a high score. It is not. The game wants you to reset.
- Neglecting offline income. Anime characters generate cash while you are logged out. If you have not unlocked at least one or two characters, you are leaving overnight money on the table.
- Hoarding cash instead of spending it. Idle currencies are worthless until they are upgrades. Spend down to zero before rebirth, every cycle.
- Missing daily codes. New codes drop on Discord (https://discord.gg/VnWFCfSBke) and we mirror them on the codes page. Check weekly.
Where to go from here
Once you have rebirthed at least once and unlocked a few characters, the next destination is the Galaxies zone. We have a separate write-up for how to unlock Galaxies, and a closer look at the top-tier Celestial characters you’ll want to chase once you arrive.
