Anime Vanguards' Winter Update 3.0: A Festive Feast of New Content
Developer Kitawari has unleashed Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0, bringing a blizzard of changes to this tower defense game. The update boasts a revamped lobby, a host of new units, exciting game modes, and numerous 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 remastered UI, including a cleaner stage selection interface. Kitawari stated in the patch notes that the previous lobby was too small, prompting the creation of this expansive new space, which even features a customizable day/night cycle.
Key additions in Winter Update 3.0 include:
-
Twelve New Units: These are scattered 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 (Fanatic), Foboko (Hellish), Karem (Chilled), Rogita (Super 4), Soburo (Contract), Regnaw (Rage), Dodara (Contract), Sosora (Puppeteer), Seban, Rodock, and Giyu.
-
New Game Modes: The "Portals" mode introduces unique mechanics and tiered rewards, encouraging players to utilize winter units and skins for enhanced damage and bonus rewards. A "Sandbox Mode" allows for unrestricted experimentation with strategies.
-
Quality-of-Life Improvements: These include smoother unit placement, a dedicated tab for Evolution Quests, search bars in the skins and familiar windows, and improved unit targeting indicators.
This update follows a recent November update inspired by the anime Dandadan, showcasing Kitawari's commitment to ongoing content additions. For more information, including active codes, visit here. Below are the complete patch notes:
