Song Jinwu (Monarch) - Supreme Shadow Sovereign

Sukuna (Curse King) - Sovereign of Curses

Alucard (Vampire King) - Primordial Blood Monarch

Gojo (Six Eyes) - Limitless Honored One

Tengon (Sound God) - Festive Flashy Hashira

Gilgamesh (King of Heroes) - First Sovereign of Babylon

Rengoku (Purgatory) - Eternal Flame Hashira

Toji (Sorcerer Killer) - Heavenly Restriction Assassin

Itadori (Vessel) - Black Flash Martial Conduit

Sosuke (Hueco Mundo Lord) - Master of Complete Hypnosis

1. Inside Hairpin Vertex Maximization

Placing Full Circle AoE units like Song Jinwu and Sukuna on the inside vertex of sharp 90-degree or 180-degree hairpin turns allows their range circle to encompass three separate track segments: the approach lane, the apex curve, and the exit lane. This geometrical overlap triples the unit's active damage window against each mob wave compared to straight-line placement.

2. Chokepoint funnels & Stun Overlap Zones

To prevent hyper-speed runner mobs from bypassing your defense, designate a 20-meter "Killbox Funnel." Station Gojo and Sosuke slightly offset behind the vanguard so their crowd-control abilities trigger precisely when mobs bunch together around Song Jinwu's shadow soldiers. This guarantees that all secondary damage dealers strike stationary clustered targets.

3. Targeting Priority Calibration

Never leave every tower on default "First" targeting. Set single-target executing towers like Toji to "Strongest" so they focus exclusively on piercing high-health minibosses and elemental barrier bearers. Conversely, set rapid AoE towers like Tengon to "First" to vaporize leaking low-health sprinters, and set Gojo to "First" to freeze advancing wave heads immediately.

Question 1: Does an evolved unit retain its pre-existing Trait and level upon awakening?

Yes, 100%. Upon evolution, your Level 50 status, acquired stats, and existing Trait (such as Monarch, Solar, Deadeye, or Godspeed) are fully preserved. Trait percentage bonuses immediately apply to the massively elevated base damage of the awakened form, providing immediate catastrophic burst potential.

Question 2: How can players acquire the Monarch's Dagger required for Song Jinwu?

The Monarch's Dagger is drop-locked within the Double Dungeon Raid on Nightmare difficulty. Players have a 5% drop rate per successful chest clear, or can guarantee acquisition by accumulating 500 Raid Shards at the Raid Merchant.

Question 3: Should a player prioritize evolving Song Jinwu or Sukuna first?

If possessing both, PRIORITIZE SUKUNA FIRST. Sukuna carries a lower evolution cost, uses easily farmable Cursed Fingers from Shibuya Story stages, and provides reliable Malevolent Shrine bleed damage early in matches, drastically speeding up resource collection for Song Jinwu.

Question 4: Do multiple Domain Expansions stack if activated simultaneously?

Identical domains do not stack (e.g., two Sukunas cannot overlap Shrines). However, DIFFERENT DOMAINS FULLY STACK. You can cast Gojo's Unlimited Void to freeze mobs while overlapping Song Jinwu's Monarch Realm for +50% damage and Sukuna's Shrine for concurrent bleed slicing.

Question 5: What is the single best trait for Awakened Gojo (Six Eyes)?

Godspeed is the optimal trait for Gojo. While Monarch grants higher damage, Gojo's primary endgame value is crowd control. Godspeed reduces active skill cooldowns by 25%, permitting near-permanent uptime on his 6.5s Unlimited Void freeze.

Question 6: How do players enable automatic inventory selling during Gacha summons?

Access the summon interface and click the Settings gear icon in the lower-right corner. Enable Auto-Sell for Rare and Epic rarities. Summoned units of these tiers will automatically convert into Gold and Gems, preventing inventory clogging.

Question 7: How many Secret-rarity units currently exist in Anime Vanguards?

As of the 2026 season, four Secret units are obtainable: Song Jinwu (Shadow Monarch), Alucard (Vampire King), Awakened Sosuke (Kyoka Suigetsu Lord), and Broly (Rage Saiyan). Standard banner drop rates for Secret units are fixed at 0.05%.

Question 8: What are the fundamental differences between Sprintwagon and Takaraba?

Sprintwagon grants static wave-based lump sums, providing essential early capital to establish baseline defenses. Takaraba generates currency based on attack cycles and accumulated investment interest, producing over 3x higher gold returns in late-game Infinite stages.

Question 9: What is the drop rate of the mythical Monarch Trait, and when should you reroll?

Monarch holds a microscopic 0.1% appearance rate (1 in 1,000 rolls). Accumulate at least 300 to 500 Trait Rerolls and wait for official Lucky Trait Weekend events before rolling on Secret units.

Question 10: Does Evolved Toji truly bypass all boss barriers in Nightmare Raids?

Yes, unconditionally. The awakened Inverted Spear of Heaven invalidates all curse, light, dark, and physical energy shields, applying 100% direct unmitigated true damage to boss HP bars.

Question 11: What is the most efficient free-to-play Gold farming method?

Farming Infinite Mode past Wave 60 while using a unit equipped with the Fortune trait (+150% Gold) yields 3,500 to 5,000 Gold per match. Completing Battlepass tiers and Raid chests yields tens of thousands more weekly.

Question 12: Do Shadow Soldiers summoned by Song Jinwu receive damage buffs?

Yes. Shadow Soldiers inherit 30% of Jinwu's dynamic damage stat, including Trait and Domain multipliers. With Monarch active, soldiers hit for up to 35,000 damage per swing as autonomous mini-towers.

Question 13: Can a unit be evolved more than once?

Currently, units can only undergo evolution once (Base to Awakened Stage 1). The development roadmap indicates higher Transcendence forms are planned for Secret units in subsequent updates.

Question 14: Why does Tengon gain explosive circle AoE post-evolution despite a single-target base?

Evolution unlocks his Resonance Detonation passive. Each physical strike detonates gunpowder beads, producing a 15-meter circular blast hitting all adjacent mobs.

Question 15: What minimum loadout is mandatory before entering high-tier Legend Stages?

You must deploy: 1 hard slow/freeze tower (Gojo or Sosuke), 1 shield breaker (Toji), 1 AoE hypercarry (Sukuna or Jinwu), and 2 max-level economic towers, alongside active Damage Boost Relics.

Question 16: Does Alucard's Level 0 Release consume gold upon activation?

No. Level 0 Release is a free active ability with a 60-second cooldown, usable whenever off cooldown once Alucard reaches max upgrade level in-match.

Question 17: Where can players redeem codes for free Gems and Trait Rerolls?

Visit the Codes NPC in the spawn lobby or open the in-game Settings menu. For the latest 100% verified active codes, visit the Seamou Studio Giftcode Center.

Question 18: Does Rengoku's Burn effect scale against boss armor?

Rengoku's Burn inflicts True Damage, stripping 20% of max health regardless of physical armor ratings. Combined with Sukuna's Bleed, it melts tanky bosses rapidly.

Question 19: Is deploying multiple Gojo units on a single map recommended?

You can place up to 2 Gojo units. Optimal placement stations one at the vanguard entrance for primary wave stalls, and the second at the central junction for emergency backup timestops.

Question 20: What is the golden rule for building an unbeatable Anime Vanguards roster?

The golden rule is: Master Economic Pacing Before Prematurely Deploying Mythics. Never place expensive hypercarries before your economy engines are stable. Stagger your crowd control domains, invest in meta evolutions, and maintain tactical discipline. Following this doctrine guarantees absolute dominance across every battlefield in Anime Vanguards.
