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

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

Developer Kitawari has unleashed Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0, a significant update bringing a blizzard of changes to this tower defense game. The update focuses on expanding the unit roster, revamping the lobby experience, and implementing numerous quality-of-life improvements.

The most striking change is the complete overhaul of the lobby. Kitawari states the previous lobby was "too small and cramped," prompting the creation of a vastly improved space, boasting a customizable day/night cycle accessible through the settings menu. This is accompanied by a remastered UI, particularly a cleaner and more efficient stage selection interface.

Key additions include:

• 12 New Units: These are spread across a new Winter Banner, the Portals game mode, the battle pass, and leaderboard rewards. Notable additions include Emmie (Ice Witch), Rom and Ran (Fanatic), and several others detailed in the patch notes below.

• New Game Modes: "Portals," a new mode encouraging the use of winter units and skins for enhanced rewards, and "Sandbox Mode," allowing for unrestricted experimentation with strategies.

• Quality-of-Life Improvements: These include smoother unit placement, improved search functionality for skins and familiars, clearer enemy targeting indicators, and the relocation of Evolution Quests to a dedicated tab.

The update builds on the November update, which featured content inspired by the anime Dandadan. For more details on in-game codes, visit here.
