Anime Ball Battles Ball Rarities: Labels and Collection Choices

Last updated 2026-10-18Unofficial player article

Quick answer

  • Selection footage shows Epic and Legendary labels on named balls.
  • The developer describes the Gem Machine as excluding Commons and Rares.
  • Rarity does not replace comparing HP, DMG and special attacks.

Read the label on the actual ball card

Anime Ball Battles ball rarities help describe collection options. A ball choice screen labels Six Paths Ball and Lightning Ball as Epic and Black Hand Ball as Legendary. Use the rarity printed on your own card when identifying what you have, rather than assigning a tier from its color or character design alone.

These examples are useful names to recognize, but do not treat a few cards as the whole rarity ladder. The important first distinction is between a ball's collection label and the attributes that appear alongside it.

Use machine restrictions for the collection decision

The developer's Gem Machine announcement says its pool excludes Commons and Rares. If your goal is to avoid those two labels, that restriction gives Gems a specific collection use. It does not identify the probability of any particular remaining ball or guarantee the one you want.

Compare the machine's displayed pool with your target before spending. A pool can fit your rarity preference while still containing many outcomes you do not need. Saving for that pool is a different choice from declaring every result a direct improvement for your next battle.

Choose a battle option for more than its label

An Epic card you understand can be a useful learning choice even while you pursue rarer collection entries. Compare its HP and DMG, then remember the attack it brings. If you switch to a Legendary option, give yourself time to learn that option rather than expect its label to explain the fight.

The summon chances guide explains how a pool restriction differs from a probability. Use it before deciding how much currency to commit to a rarity target. Keep the goal specific: obtain a collection option you want while leaving enough balance to continue playing.
