The closest Mudae alternatives are Karuta and SOFI for anime and multi-fandom card collecting, Gachapon and Mazoku for other card-collection takes, AniGame and Tofu if you want your cards to fight, and Pokétwo or PokéMeow if your server would rather collect Pokémon. The biggest difference to check is whether a bot's collection is per server, like Mudae's, or global across Discord.
Every bot here was checked against its own site or Discord App Directory listing in October 2026. Server counts are the App Directory's figures, rounded. Mudae has no official documentation site, so its mechanics below come from the community-run Mudae wiki.
How Mudae works
Mudae is a character-collection game. Players roll with commands like $w (waifus), $h (husbandos) or $m (both), the bot shows a random character, and anyone can react to claim it. Each server gets a set number of rolls per hour, which depends on the server's game mode, age and premium status. Claimed characters build up a player's collection, often called a harem.
The currency is kakera. A character's kakera value depends on its claim rank, like rank, keys, and how many characters have been claimed in that server. Kakera buys perks such as stronger wishlists, extra rolls and badges. The $wish system pings you when a character you want is rolled. Mudae also sells Player Premium and Server Premium tiers that add rolls per hour, wishlist slots and kakera bonuses.
One detail shapes everything else: in Mudae, collections live inside each server. A character claimed in one server says nothing about what you own in another.
Why people look for a Mudae alternative
- They want cards to own and customize. Mudae shows character images. Card bots like Karuta turn characters into card items that players customize, upgrade and trade.
- They want progress that travels. Some players prefer a global collection that follows them to every server.
- They want the cards to do something. Mudae has mini-games, but players who want team battles, raids and PvP look at RPG card bots.
- Rolls flood the channel. A busy roll channel can be dozens of embeds an hour. Some owners want a bot that drops cards less often.
- They want other fandoms. Mudae covers anime and games. Multi-fandom bots also cover K-pop, webtoons and more.

Card collecting bots
Karuta
Karuta is the largest card bot in this list by App Directory server count. Its App Directory listing says it features more than 90,000 anime characters and turns them into collectibles you can earn, customize, upgrade and trade. Its website puts it simply: react to grab a card, and collect, trade and upgrade in a global economy.
Best for: anime servers that want a collecting and trading scene. Compared with Mudae: the economy is global, and trading cards with other players matters more than rolling for one exact character.
SOFI
SOFI covers more than anime. Its listing mentions anime, games, movies, web series, K-pop, manga, manhwa and music, with collecting, trading and battling in guilds. Its website says it has over 70,000 characters across those categories.
Best for: mixed-fandom communities where half the server is into K-pop and the other half into anime.
Gachapon
Gachapon describes itself as a fun card-collection Discord game, and it is listed in about 216,000 servers.
Best for: servers that want a second card bot to try alongside Karuta or SOFI. Read its command list before adding it, since its public description is brief.
Mazoku
Mazoku, which its site now calls Mazoku Legacy, is a trading card game on Discord where you collect, trade and battle with players worldwide. It has its own website at mazoku.cc, which also offers a premium option.
Best for: players who want a TCG with a marketplace rather than a pure gacha.
Card bots where your cards fight
AniGame
AniGame calls itself an RPG anime Discord bot. You use your cards in PvP and fight alongside your clan against raid bosses, and its website adds card skins, battle teams, and direct trades, market listings and auctions in a player-driven economy. Its FAQ says it can be played for free, and it is listed in about 316,000 servers.
Best for: Mudae players who liked collecting but wanted their favorite characters to actually do something.
Tofu
Tofu is a global card PvP game with RPG elements. Its listing covers anime, games, cartoons and comics, with customization, minigames and profiles. It is listed in about 88,000 servers.
Best for: communities that want collecting and PvP across many fandoms, not just anime.
If your server would rather collect Pokémon
Pokétwo
Pokétwo spawns Pokémon at random in your channels. Players catch them by naming them, trade to expand their collection and battle friends for rewards. Rules and item guides are at docs.poketwo.net.
PokéMeow
PokéMeow focuses on catching, battling, clans, trading through a market, evolving and hatching eggs. It is listed in about 519,000 servers.
Both swap Mudae's react-to-claim rolls for catching, which suits servers that prefer Pokémon to anime characters.
Running a gacha bot without drowning your server
Whichever bot you choose, the setup that keeps it fun is the same:
- Give it a dedicated channel. One
#gachaor#cardschannel, with a pinned message on where commands go. - Keep default notifications on Only @mentions. With the server default set that way, a busy bot channel does not light up for every member.
- Limit slash commands in Server Settings > Integrations. You can choose which channels and roles can use each of a bot's commands.
- Use channel permissions for prefix commands. Mudae answers to
$. Remove its Send Messages permission in other channels so it cannot reply there. - Do not run three card bots at once. Two bots dropping cards in the same channel splits attention and doubles the noise. Trial one, then decide.

Can you keep Mudae and add another bot?
Yes, and many servers do. Mudae and Karuta, for example, solve different wants: Mudae for rolling and claiming specific characters, Karuta for card drops and trading. Give each its own channel and see which one your members actually use after a month. If you also want the wider picture on game bots, our Discord economy bots list covers the currency side.
FAQ
What is the best bot like Mudae?
Karuta is the most popular alternative for anime card collecting. If you want battles as well, AniGame and SOFI add PvP and guild features on top of collecting.
Is Mudae still active in 2026?
Yes. Mudae remains one of the main character-collection bots on Discord, and its wiki continues to document game modes, premium tiers and updates.
Are Mudae collections shared between servers?
No. According to the Mudae wiki, kakera values depend on what has been claimed in that server, and each server has its own claims. Karuta, SOFI, Tofu and Mazoku describe global economies or worldwide play instead.
Do Mudae alternatives cost money?
Adding any of these bots is free. Most sell optional extras, such as Mudae's own premium tiers or Mazoku's premium, so check each bot's store for what you get.
Which gacha bot is easiest for a small server?
A bot with a single channel and simple drops is easiest. Karuta's react-to-grab drops are quick to learn, and Pokétwo's spawns appear on their own, so members do not have to learn roll commands.
