As with most Tower Defense games in Roblox, Anime Vanguards offers a wide selection of units, but it is sometimes unclear which ones will be useful in the first place. In this guide, we will present a detailed list of characters and descriptions of their abilities to help you choose the most valuable fighters.
With a large number of heroes and their evolutions in Anime Vanguards, it is difficult to decide which characters are worth choosing. A good rule of thumb is: the higher the rarity of the unit, the stronger it is, but there are exceptions to this rule. Some epic heroes can be incredibly powerful, while legendary fighters may not be as effective as expected.
The S+ level is reserved for the most powerful and rare characters in the game. Be sure to aim to level them up to this rank to maximize your roster's strength.
The first hero in the game who can freeze enemies. The freeze ability works in a large radius, dealing multiple hits, allowing you to control several targets at once. When an enemy is frozen, its attack speed (SPA) is reduced by 1% (up to 10%). Additionally, Julias increases his power by 7% with each attack (up to 56%). He also gains a 7% bonus to RNG for each wave (up to 35%).
This fighter's power increases by 50% when no buffs are applied to him, making him especially powerful without additional boosts.

Gujo is immune to status effects. He receives an additional damage bonus to enemies — +0.1% with each wave passed. Each kill during the Void reduces SPA by 2% (up to 10). Damage during the attack is increased by 20%, and SPA is reduced by 10%, allowing powerful hits to be delivered faster.

The fighter has immunity to stun, which grants +30% to power, and SPA is reduced by 10%. His damage increases by 25% when defeating a boss, and if a shadow enters the squad's range with this character, you get an additional +30% to strike power and -10% SPA.
The character gains +0.1% to damage for each kill (up to 40%). Killing enemies adds them to your shadow army (up to 40 shadows). Using the Rise ability summons 15 shadows and 5 shadow knights. Additionally, damage increases by 2.5% each time your shadow defeats an enemy (up to 25%). Squads with the character Igros in range also get a damage boost.
