FAQ

Vanguards: 2nd Anniversary guide questions

Is Vanguards: 2nd Anniversary the same Roblox experience as Anime Vanguards?

Yes. The live experience at place 16146832113 is titled Vanguards: 2nd Anniversary. Developer posts, the Discord invite, and the in-game systems still use the Anime Vanguards name. This wiki follows that place, not a different game with a similar title.

What should a new account do first in Update 15.0?

Stay in the lobby, play until you reach level 10, then redeem the active codes. Log in during the anniversary event to receive Yuvi. Spend Cake Slices '26 on the Anniversary '26 banner only after you can see its pity rules, and save Trait Rerolls for one unit whose role you already use.

Do the current codes require level 30?

The current resource codes on the active list require level 10. Many archived codes required level 30, and LetTheLarpingBegin had no level listed. kat is a permanent joke code with no items. If a redeem does nothing, check the level on that row before you change the spelling.

Where do Trait Rerolls go, and what is Monarch pity?

Spend them at the Mandra NPC in the Upgrades area. One Trait Reroll replaces the single trait on one unit. Monarch is 0.1% (1 in 1,000) with hard pity at 1,500 rerolls on that unit. Ethereal is 0.175% with pity 858, Deadeye is 0.375% with pity 400, and Solar is 0.5% with pity 300.

Where do the new anniversary units come from?

Yuvi is a login reward while the event is live. Death's Grasp (Remembrance) is the Event Pass tier 50 unit. God Ascended is an evolution of God (Standless) that needs four Saint parts. True Shadow Monarch is a Player Quest evolution of Song Jinwu and Igros. Most other new and returning banner units, including Kokushibo, are pulled on the Anniversary '26 banner with Cake Slices '26.
