Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0 Brings Lobby Revamp and New Portals Game Mode

Anime Vanguards' Winter Update 3.0: A Festive Frostfall of Features and Fixes

Developer Kitawari has unleashed Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0, a substantial update boasting a revamped lobby, a host of new units, and a suite of quality-of-life improvements designed to keep the winter festivities frosty and fun.

The most striking change is immediately apparent upon login: a completely overhauled lobby, offering significantly more space and a remastered UI, including a cleaner stage selection interface. This addresses player feedback regarding the previous lobby's cramped layout and limited space for new game modes. The new lobby even features a customizable day/night cycle, accessible via the settings menu. Kitawari stated in the patch notes, "We heard your issues with our current lobby; it was too small and cramped, and we were running out of places to put new game modes. Get ready for our stunning new lobby – 10x more impressive than anything you’ve seen, featuring a customizable Day and Night cycle which you can check out in Settings!"

Beyond the visual enhancements, Update 3.0 introduces exciting new content:

• Portals Game Mode: A new game mode with unique mechanics and tiered rewards. Using winter units and skins enhances team damage and unlocks additional rewards.
• Sandbox Mode: Provides a freeform environment for experimental gameplay, allowing players to test strategies without limitations.
• 12 New Units: Twelve new units are available across a new Winter Banner, Portals mode, Battle Pass, and leaderboard rewards. These 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 Familiars and Skins: Three new familiars (Doggo, Sebamon, Padoru) and numerous new skins across various rarities are also included.

Quality-of-life improvements streamline gameplay: smoother unit placement, a dedicated tab for Evolution Quests, searchable skins and familiars windows, and improved unit targeting highlights.

This update builds upon the November update, which incorporated elements from the popular anime Dandadan. For a complete breakdown of the changes, refer to the full patch notes below. For active codes, check here.
