Anime Vanguards 3.0 Update: Enhanced Lobby, New Portals Mode

Anime Vanguards' Winter Update 3.0: A Festive Frost of New Content

Roblox developer Kitawari has unleashed Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0, a significant overhaul bringing a revamped lobby, expanded unit roster, and numerous quality-of-life improvements to the tower defense experience. This update promises weeks of winter-themed fun.

The most striking change is the completely redesigned lobby, offering significantly more space for players. This is accompanied by a remastered UI, boasting a "much better and cleaner" stage selection interface. Kitawari explains in the patch notes that the previous lobby was too small, prompting the creation of a new lobby described as "10x more impressive," featuring a customizable day/night cycle accessible in the settings.

Key features of the update include:

• New Game Modes: The addition of "Portals," a new game mode encouraging the use of winter units and skins for enhanced rewards, and "Sandbox Mode," allowing for unrestricted strategic experimentation.
• 12 New Units: Twelve new units are available across a new Winter Banner, Portals mode, the battle pass, and leaderboard rewards.
• Quality-of-Life Improvements: Numerous enhancements, including smoother unit placement, improved Evolution Quest visibility, search bars for skins and familiars, and clearer unit targeting indicators.

The update builds upon the November update, which introduced content inspired by the anime Dandadan. For more information, including active codes, visit here. The full patch notes are detailed below.
