Anime Vanguards' Winter Update 3.0: A Festive Frost of New Content and Improvements

Roblox developer Kitawari has unleashed Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0, a significant update bringing substantial changes to the tower defense game. This update introduces a revamped lobby, a host of new units, exciting game modes, and numerous quality-of-life enhancements designed to keep players engaged throughout the winter season.

The most striking change is the completely overhauled lobby, providing a significantly larger and more visually appealing 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 small and limited, prompting the creation of this expansive new environment, even featuring a customizable day/night cycle accessible in the settings.

Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0 introduces a revamped lobby, 12 new units, and more.

Key highlights of the update include:

New Game Modes: The addition of "Portals," a mode encouraging the use of winter units and skins for increased rewards, and "Sandbox Mode," allowing players to experiment freely with strategies.
12 New Units: Twelve new units are available across a new Winter Banner, the Portals game mode, the battle pass, and leaderboard rewards. These units offer diverse abilities and strategic options.
Quality-of-Life Improvements: Numerous tweaks enhance the overall gameplay experience, including smoother unit placement, improved UI search functionality for skins and familiars, and clearer unit targeting indicators.

The update builds upon the momentum of a recent November update, which introduced content inspired by the anime series Dandadan. For more information, including active in-game codes, refer to this link.
