What is Anime Vanguards?

Anime Vanguards is a Roblox strategy and tower defense experience developed by Kitawari. Players summon anime-inspired units, deploy them against waves of enemies, upgrade their combat performance, and build teams for different stages and game modes.

Progression extends beyond collecting units through evolution, traits, rerolls, Memoria, events, tournaments, and limited-time content. Building efficient teams and deciding where to spend resources become increasingly important as players move into harder stages and endgame activities.

Anime Vanguards Beginner Guide

Learn the progression loop from summoning your first units to building a team for tougher battles. Start with a working defense, understand support roles, and improve your existing roster before tackling harder modes.

  1. 1

    Launch Kitawari's Anime Vanguards on Roblox and use summoning to add units to your roster.

  2. 2

    Deploy combat units to stop enemy waves. When available, use Sprintwagon for wave-based Yen income rather than expecting him to function as a damage dealer.

  3. 3

    Level up the units you use and inspect their evolution paths to strengthen your team.

  4. 4

    Try additional game modes with friends and adjust your lineup to include damage, income, or support rather than choosing units by appearance alone.

Anime Vanguards Traits and Rerolls

Compare traits by their effect on damage, attack speed, range, and team economy. Reroll through Mandra and check the current in-game tooltip before replacing a useful trait, especially when placement limits matter.

  • MonarchPlacement Trade-Off

    Provides a large damage increase but restricts the affected unit to one placement.

  • EtherealCombat

    Improves damage and range while reducing the time between attacks.

  • BlitzAttack Speed

    Reduces seconds per attack, allowing the unit to attack more frequently.

  • FortuneEconomy

    Improves farm earnings; on non-farm units, it reduces upgrade costs.

Anime Vanguards Evolution and Essence Stones

Find the materials needed to evolve units and learn how Essence Stones fit into the process. Inspect the selected unit's current recipe before farming, since requirements differ between evolutions.

  1. 1

    Open the evolution interface in the lobby and inspect the materials required for the unit you intend to evolve.

  2. 2

    Collect Green Essence Stones from suitable Legend Stages, including Sand Village and Double Dungeon.

  3. 3

    Use the Crafting Desk to make the colored Essence Stones required by the recipe. Essence colors include Blue, Purple, Red, Yellow, Pink, and Rainbow.

  4. 4

    Return to the evolution interface after collecting the required materials and check that every requirement is satisfied before confirming.

Anime Vanguards Units and Team Roles

Understand what individual units contribute instead of treating every slot as another damage dealer. Compare income generation, ally buffs, bleeding attacks, and shadow summons when assembling your lineup.

  • SprintwagonIncome

    His Entrepreneur passive generates Yen each wave to support your battle economy.

  • Haruka RinSupport

    Her Love Dance passive increases the damage of nearby units as waves pass.

  • AlocardDamage Over Time

    His attacks inflict Bleed. Alocard (Vampire King) can also apply Wounded to bleeding enemies entering his range.

  • Song Jinwu (Monarch)Summoner

    Uses Arise to summon a shadow army and has a damage-buff interaction with nearby Igros units.
