Anime Vanguards 15.0 New Features and Gameplay Guide

Version 15.0 is built around new ways to play. True Shadow Monarch adds a progression system, Shadow Army gives you custom Shadows, and Memoria Maker changes how builds are tested. New raids, dungeons, trials, card battles and a six-world campaign give you several routes after the update.

What changed

True Shadow Monarch is a Transcendent evolution from Song Jinwu and Igros through the Player Quest. Put it in the first slot to open the Monarch slot and a custom team bar. Takedowns grant System EXP, System Gold and stat points. Levels unlock Shadow slots at 1, 10, 25, 40, 60 and 80, with the cap at 100.
Shadow Army lets you equip up to six Shadows. Normal Shadows level from takedowns and unlock passive choices. When you own a boss unit, defeat its boss form and use Arise to recruit a custom Shadow with a random Shadow Passive.
Memoria Maker fuses one Secret or Vanguard memoria with two donors. The base keeps its first passive, while donor passives replace the second and third at 50% and 30% strength. Test the recipe in Unit Sandbox first because each fusion consumes both donors and one Memoria Puzzle Piece.
Fourteen Vanguard Familiars add unit-specific effects. Returned Dungeon tokens and The First Commander tokens buy different familiar groups, so choose your farming route around the unit you want to improve.

How to play the new systems

Returned Dungeon is a 20-wave, two-lane raid. Awaken statues before wave 15: each adds stronger enemies and 20% more rewards. The last statue decides the wave 20 boss, while all five summon The Designer.
The First Commander is a command-focused dungeon. Your units deal half damage, while your army uses troop perks. Plan the troop mix before the waves rather than changing it after the fight starts.
Shadow Trials lets you control the Monarch in real-time arena battles against Shadows. It has seven trials and supports solo play or up to four players.
Card Battle uses a 20-card deck built around a captain. Start with bots to learn the three-hitpoint and energy rules, then refine the deck for duels.
Apostles Vs Vanguards is a six-world campaign. Other additions include Pirate Dynasty Arena Capture the Flag, new solo Battle Towers, reworked Elemental Towers and AV Arcade mini-games. The rebuilt lobby also adds Quick Actions, teleport Areas, a searchable Codex and a new Profile. Auto Summon can target a unit or memoria and continue until the target appears, currency runs out or you stop it.

Use UGphone for long routines

Anime Vanguards supports UGphone cloud automation and multiple accounts. Configure a repeatable route for eligible stages, Returned Dungeon attempts or daily checks while UGphone performs the routine actions in the cloud.
Use separate cloud instances for different accounts or goals. This is useful for comparing teams, collecting login rewards and checking Event Pass or quest progress remotely. Review the run when you need to change a target, team or route.

First session checklist

Equip True Shadow Monarch and earn early System levels from takedowns.
Test one Shadow Army lineup and one Memoria Maker recipe in Unit Sandbox.
Choose a single farming route, then use Quick Actions and the Codex to move between stages and shops.

Start with one system, learn its resource loop, then expand into the modes that match your team.
