Anime Vanguards' Winter Update 3.0: A Snowy Avalanche of Content
Roblox developer Kitawari has unleashed Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0, a substantial update bringing significant changes to the tower defense game. This update focuses on enhancing the player experience with a revamped lobby, new units, game modes, and numerous quality-of-life improvements.
The most striking change is the completely overhauled lobby, offering significantly more space for players. This is accompanied by a remastered UI, particularly a cleaner and more intuitive stage selection interface. Kitawari stated in the patch notes that the previous lobby was too cramped, prompting this major redesign. The new lobby even boasts a customizable day/night cycle accessible in the settings menu.
Key additions include:
- New Game Modes: "Portals," a mode encouraging the use of winter units and skins for enhanced rewards, and "Sandbox Mode," allowing unrestricted experimentation with strategies.
- 12 New Units: These are spread across a new Winter Banner, the Portals game mode, the battle pass, and leaderboard rewards. Specific units include Emmie (and her Ice Witch variant), Rom and Ran, Foboko, Karem, Rogita, Soburo, Regnaw, Dodara, Sosora, Seban, Rodock, and Giyu.
- 3 New Familiars: Doggo, Sebamon, and Padoru join the roster.
- Winter Currency & Shop: Earn winter currency in Portals to summon new units and skins, or spend it in the Winter Shop.
Quality-of-life improvements include smoother unit placement, improved UI search functionality for skins and familiars, clearer unit targeting indicators, and the addition of a special tab for Evolution Quests.
This update builds upon the November update, which introduced content inspired by the anime Dandadan. For more information, including active codes, check here. Below are the full patch notes.
