Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0 Brings Lobby Revamp and New Portals Game 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 refreshed user interface, expanded unit roster, and a host of quality-of-life improvements to the popular tower defense game. This update is packed with winter-themed additions designed to keep players engaged for weeks.

The most striking change is the completely redesigned lobby, providing significantly more space for players to prepare for battles. The updated UI is cleaner and more intuitive, particularly the stage selection interface. As Kitawari explains in the patch notes, the previous lobby was too cramped, hindering the addition of new game modes. The new lobby boasts a customizable day/night cycle, accessible through the game settings.

Key additions in Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0 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. The complete list of new units is detailed in the patch notes below.
• Quality-of-Life Improvements: These include smoother unit placement, improved Evolution Quest visibility, search bars for skins and familiars, and clearer enemy targeting indicators for units.

This update builds upon the November update, which introduced content inspired by the anime series Dandadan. For more information, including active codes, please see this link.
