Mounts
Anime Astral Simulator mounts guide explaining why the MOUNTS code matters, when movement speed helps, and how to judge route value.
Quick Summary
Mounts are worth covering because simulator progress is not only damage. If an update adds or promotes mount systems, movement can affect world loops, mode access, and how much value you get from timed boosts.
Why mounts can matter
A mount does not need to increase raw power to be useful. If it shortens travel between enemies, shops, mode entrances, or upgrade areas, it can improve every timed farming session.
The MOUNTS code should be tested early because it may unlock or support the new system. Even when the reward is modest, it signals that mount-related searches deserve their own explanation page.
How to measure mount value
Run one route without a mount and one route with the mount active, then compare time to reach enemies, boss areas, Gates, Raid, or shops. If the route becomes smoother, it is a real progression helper.
Do not judge mounts only by rarity or looks. The best mount for your account is the one that makes your repeated route faster or less annoying.
Best places to test
Test mounts in worlds with longer paths, repeated mode entrances, and routes where you normally waste boost time moving instead of fighting.
If your current farm is already compact, a mount may be more of a comfort feature until you unlock bigger maps or mode loops.
