What Each Currency Is For

Gems, Gold, Trait Rerolls, Memoria Shards, Stat Chips, and Cake Slices '26 do not replace each other.

By Vanguards: 2nd Anniversary WikiLast updated:

Update 15.0 codes pay several wallets at once. Spending one stack as if it were another is the usual way to waste the anniversary payout.

Currency Use it for Do not use it for
Gems Banners that list a Gem price Anniversary '26 pulls, which take Cake Slices '26
Gold Buying and crafting items Trait rerolls
Trait Rerolls One replacement trait at Mandra Memoria traits or substats
Memoria Shards Rerolling Memoria traits Unit traits
Stat Chips Rerolling a unit's substats Buying banner units
Cake Slices '26 Anniversary '26 pulls and Saint's Pelvis General Gem banners
Rainbow Essence and Green Essence Evolution items for units that list them The God Ascended Saint-part craft
Red Key The path tied to that key A normal banner pull
Memoria Puzzle Piece Memoria Maker, which combines three memorias and consumes the second and third A summon
Controller Tokens Lunar Bridge dungeon shop Anniversary pulls

Code payout, if every active resource code is new to the account

These totals count only the current active resource codes. They skip kat, and they assume the account is level 10 and has not redeemed the strings before.

  • Trait Rerolls: 1,000 from 2ndAnniversary, plus 100 from each of Day 7, Day 5, Day 3, and Day 1. That is 1,400.
  • Memoria Shards: 1,000 from Finally, plus 100 from each of Day 7, Day 6, Day 4, and Day 2. That is 1,400.
  • Gold: 100,000 from Finally.
  • Rainbow Essence: 30 from Finally.
  • Red Keys: 1 from TrueShadowMonarch.
  • Gems: 50,000 from TrueShadowMonarch.
  • Stat Chips: 500 from TrueShadowMonarch.
  • Memoria Puzzle Pieces: 1 from HappyAnniversary.

Archived codes are not in that sum. If the lobby still accepts one, add that row on top. Do not plan a craft around an archived code.

Pass XP

Season 4 pass XP is separate from all of the wallets above. Warfront is listed at 1,500 Pass XP per clear. Death's Grasp is the tier 50 reward, so pass progress is the direct route to that unit. Premium changes the tier 50 reward to the shiny version and raises the reroll, shard, and Stat Chip totals. It does not replace the Player Quest for True Shadow Monarch or the Saint parts for God Ascended.

Red Key also drops from the Ant Island dungeon at 10%. The TrueShadowMonarch code is a second source, not the only one.

FAQ

Frequently Asked 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.
