Anime Vanguards' Winter Update 3.0: A Sweeping Update with New Units, Game Modes, and Quality-of-Life Improvements
Developer Kitawari has released Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0, significantly enhancing the tower-defense experience. This update introduces a revamped lobby, a fresh unit lineup, and numerous quality-of-life improvements designed to keep players engaged.
The most immediate change is a complete lobby overhaul, providing more space and a remastered UI, including a significantly improved stage selection interface. Kitawari stated the previous lobby was too small, prompting the creation of a new lobby described as "10x more impressive," and featuring a customizable day/night cycle.
Key features of the update include:
-
12 New Units: These are distributed across a new Winter Banner, the Portals game mode, the battle pass, and leaderboard rewards. Specific units include Emmie (and her Ice Witch variant), Rom and Ran (Fanatic), Foboko (Hellish), Karem (Chilled), Rogita (Super 4), Soburo (Contract), Regnaw (Rage), Dodara (Contract), Sosora (Puppeteer), Seban, Rodock, and Giyu.
-
New Game Modes: "Portals," a new game mode with unique mechanics and tiered rewards, encourages using winter units and skins for increased damage and bonus rewards. "Sandbox Mode" allows players to experiment freely with units, enemies, and game parameters.
-
Quality-of-Life Improvements: These include smoother unit placement, a dedicated tab for Evolution Quests, search bars for skins and familiars, improved unit targeting indicators, and more.
-
Other Additions: The update also includes a rerun of the Blood-Red Commander Igros boss event (with weekly rotating boss events), a new Winter currency and shop, a refreshed battle pass, new tournament titles, collection milestones, enemy index milestones, a trophy exchange shop, enhanced spectate mode options, a revised base health system (using stocks instead of a health bar), a hidden challenge accessible via a Worldlines reward, in-game update logs, new unit filters, and numerous bug fixes.
The complete patch notes detail all changes, including specific unit abilities and numerous bug fixes. This update builds upon the November update, which added content inspired by the anime Dandadan. For more information, including active codes, refer to the provided link.
