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

Anime Vanguards' Winter Update 3.0: A Festive Frost-Filled Frenzy!

Developer Kitawari has unleashed Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0, bringing a blizzard of changes to this popular tower defense game. The update boasts a revamped lobby, a host of new units, exciting new game modes, and a plethora of quality-of-life improvements designed to keep players engaged throughout the winter season.

The most striking change is the completely overhauled lobby, offering significantly more space and a greatly improved user interface (UI). The stage selection UI has also received a major upgrade, described by Kitawari as "much better and cleaner." The new lobby even includes a customizable day-night cycle, accessible in the game settings.

Key additions in this update include:

• New Game Modes: Experience the unique mechanics of the "Portals" game mode, and unleash your creativity in the unrestricted "Sandbox Mode." Using winter units and skins in Portals boosts team damage and unlocks additional rewards.

• 12 New Units: Collect 12 brand-new units scattered across a Winter Banner, the Portals game mode, the battle pass, and leaderboard rewards.

• Quality-of-Life Improvements: Enjoy smoother unit placement, a streamlined Evolution Quest system (now accessible via a dedicated tab), searchable skin and familiar windows, and clearer enemy targeting indicators for units.

This update builds upon the November update, which introduced content inspired by the anime series Dandadan. For a complete list of active codes, check here.
