If you’ve been grinding in Anime Fighting Simulator (AFS) lately, you’ve probably seen players running around with cool new titles or summons and wondered where they came from. I remember the confusion I felt when the Champions update dropped—I was running in circles for hours. That confusion usually stems from one specific NPC: Riah.
Unlocking Champion Riah isn’t just about adding another collectible to your inventory; it’s about accessing a new layer of gameplay that significantly boosts your farming efficiency. In this guide, I’m going to walk you through exactly how I completed the Riah Quest, where to find her, and how you can replicate my success without the headache.
Before we dive into the “how,” let’s talk about the “what.”
Riah is an NPC introduced as part of the massive Champions update. She isn’t just another quest giver handing out Chikara; she is the gatekeeper to the entire Champions system. When I first approached her, I realized she is the key to unlocking a mechanic that allows you to summon AI companions to fight alongside you.
The quest she offers acts as a tutorial and a challenge rolled into one. You are tasked with defeating a specific boss, Solidarity, to prove you are worthy of wielding the power of Champions. Completing this questline is the only way to unlock the ability to use Champions, and your first reward is the ability to summon Riah herself.
Honestly, I used to ignore quests in AFS and just focused on punching the air for stats. But the Riah quest changed my perspective. It forced me to engage with the Tournament Dimension, an area I had previously neglected.
Once I unlocked Champion Riah, the game felt fresh again. Having a companion that deals damage while I farm bosses like Broly or Goku made my grinding loops significantly faster. Plus, Riah’s design is sleek, and having her float beside my character adds a nice flair to my avatar. It felt like a real achievement because the boss fight wasn’t a cakewalk—it required actual build management.
This is the part you’re here for. I’ve broken this down into digestible steps so you don’t get lost like I did.
Riah isn’t standing in the main spawn area. To find her, you need to look for the Champions Building.
Before you accept the quest, make sure you are ready. I made the mistake of trying this with low stats and got absolutely destroyed.
Talk to Riah. She will explain the Champion system and give you the objective: Defeat Solidarity.
Solidarity is the boss you must defeat to complete the quest. He spawns in the Tournament Dimension.
Once Solidarity falls, a notification will pop up confirming the quest completion. Head back to Riah.
While you are grinding for Riah, why not grab some freebies? I always check for codes before a big boss fight. These codes give you free Chikara and Yen, which you can use to upgrade your stats or buy new swords.
Here are a few active codes that worked for me recently (always verify in-game as they expire fast):
EmperorsNewSuit – Free Chikara300klikes – Free Yen and Chikarasubtogarov – Free rewardsPro Tip: Use these rewards to upgrade your durability before fighting Solidarity. It makes a huge difference. For a full, updated list, bookmark our Anime Fighting Simulator Codes page.
The Riah quest was a pivotal part of a recent update, but the game changes weekly. In the current meta, the developers have been focusing on balancing the Champions.
Keeping an eye on the official Trello or Twitter (X) is a habit I’ve formed, but I’ll keep this guide updated with the essential info right here.
Completing the Riah quest is just the beginning. To truly dominate the server, I rely on a few advanced strategies that I’ve picked up over months of playing.
1. Auto-Clicker Setup I’m not ashamed to say I use an auto-clicker for training. AFS is a grind-heavy game. Set up an auto-clicker on your mouse to farm stats overnight. This ensures you have the damage output needed for future quests like Riah’s without burning yourself out.
2. Utilize Your Champion Once you unlock Riah, don’t just leave her in the menu. Set her to “Aggressive” mode. She draws aggro from bosses. When I fight higher-level raid bosses, I let Riah take the heat while I charge up my ultimate attack. It’s a game-changer for solo players.
3. Daily Specials Always check the Daily Specials board near spawn. Sometimes they offer Chikara shards or exclusive items that boost your damage. If you get a damage boost item, that is the perfect time to attempt the Solidarity fight for the Riah quest.
A: Yes, you can! In fact, I recommend private servers for boss fights if you have friends. Public servers can get chaotic, and sometimes other players kill the boss too fast for you to get credit if you aren’t careful.
A: She is excellent for beginners, but she isn’t the top tier. She acts as a gateway to stronger Champions. Once you unlock her, you can start rolling for rarer Champions using Chikara. Check our AFS Champions Tier List to see how she stacks up against the others.
A: It happens occasionally. If you defeat Solidarity and Riah doesn’t acknowledge it, try rejoining a different server. The game sometimes fails to save data instantly. I’ve had this happen once, and a simple server hop fixed it.
A: There is no hard level cap, but you need the stats to back it up. If you can survive a hit from a high-level boss, you are ready.
Unlocking Champion Riah is a rite of passage in Anime Fighting Simulator. It bridges the gap between early-game grinding and mid-game strategy. I remember the satisfaction I felt when I finally saw that “Quest Complete” notification—it meant I had officially graduated from being a novice.
Follow the steps, make sure your stats are up to par, and don’t sleep on those free codes. Once Riah is by your side, you’ll wonder how you ever played without her. Good luck, and I’ll see you in the Tournament Dimension!
