Anime Vanguards' Winter Update 3.0: A Festive Overhaul

Roblox developer Kitawari has unleashed Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0, a significant update boasting a revamped lobby, expanded unit roster, and numerous quality-of-life improvements. This winter-themed update introduces substantial content, most notably a completely redesigned lobby offering anime enthusiasts more space to prepare for battles. The update also features a remastered UI, including a significantly improved stage selection interface.

Kitawari stated in the patch notes that the previous lobby was too small and cramped, hindering the addition of new game modes. The new lobby is described as "10x more impressive," and includes a customizable day/night cycle accessible in the settings menu.

Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0 introduces a revamped lobby, 12 new units, and more.

Key additions in Winter Update 3.0 include:

  • New Game Modes: "Portals," a new game mode encouraging the use of winter units and skins for increased rewards, and "Sandbox Mode," allowing players to experiment freely with strategies.
  • 12 New Units: Twelve new units are available across a new Winter Banner, the Portals game mode, the battle pass, and leaderboard rewards. These include Emmie (and her Ice Witch variant), Rom and Ran, Foboko, Karem, Rogita, Soburo, Regnaw, Dodara, Sosora, Seban, Rodock, and Giyu.
  • Quality-of-Life Improvements: These include smoother unit placement, improved Evolution Quest visibility, search bars for skins and familiars, clearer unit targeting indicators, and more.

The update builds upon the November update, which introduced content inspired by the anime Dandadan. For more information, including active codes, please visit here.
