What is Vanguards?
Often referred to in community guides as Anime Vanguards, it is a wave-defense game where your roster matters more than raw movement skill. You summon units, equip a team, clear stages for resources, then invest in leveling, evolution, traits, and other lasting upgrades. Seasonal and anniversary banners (the current live title highlights a 2nd anniversary) rotate limited rewards—always check the in-game update panel. We do not invent redeem codes; verify any codes in-game only (some community lists note level gates).
How to play / core loop
- Summon units in the lobby (gems or event currency depending on the banner).
- Equip a balanced team—carry damage plus support/farm helpers, not six identical DPS units.
- Clear Story / early stages to unlock farming modes and steady resource income.
- Level up and evolve core units so they can handle harder waves and modes.
- Play with friends in co-op modes when you want faster clears or harder content.
Platforms
Play on Roblox via desktop, mobile, and other Roblox-supported devices where the experience is available.
Beginner tips
- Clear Story first: Community beginner guides recommend finishing early Story on Normal before diving into Infinite, raids, or hard events.
- Build one carry + support: Focus upgrades on a reliable damage carry and a farm/economy or CC unit instead of spreading resources across every pull.
- Summon with a plan: Guides describe pity on special banners (e.g., Legendary around 50 summons, Mythic around 400)—save gems for banners you actually need.
- Equip after you pull: New units sit in Inventory until you Equip them—don't assume a Legendary is on your team automatically.
- Save scarce rerolls: Trait rerolls, evolution mats, and similar resources belong on units you will keep using.
- Check anniversary/event panels: The live title is a 2nd Anniversary build—event currency and limited banners change often.
- Verify codes in-game only: Ignore random social “codes” that ask for account info; we do not list unverified redeem codes.
