If you thought you were caught up in Anime Vanguards, think again. Update 5.0 just hit, and it’s overflowing with fresh content—from powerful new units to twisted Boo Saga bosses and game-changing mechanics that’ll flip your strategies upside down.
Let’s kick it off with the main event: 10 brand-new units have joined the fray. Whether you’re scouting the Gem Banner, chasing Leaderboard Rewards, or checking out your Mailbox, there’s a wide range to collect. From Super Vogito and Roku (Angel) to the corrupted likes of Boohon (Evil) and Kid Boo, this update dives deep into fan-favorite arcs and reinvents them with a wicked twist.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
🌌 Welcome to the Odyssey
This new roguelike-style game mode is a rollercoaster. You’ll travel through an interdimensional maze, scavenging violet chests for 30 modifiers—from Rare boosts to Mythical powers. These upgrades stack as you progress, helping you face tougher enemies and unlock new stages every 100 intensity levels.
Choose between four random rooms after each fight, each offering a different path—and risk. The further you go, the higher the rewards: Gems, Gold, and power-ups to supercharge your recovered units.
🥋 Martial Island — Boo Saga Begins
The 25th World Tournament has gone completely sideways. In this all-new story stage, six Acts (playable in both Normal and Nightmare modes) pit you against corrupted enemies with fresh mechanics like Challenger immunity, Energy Drain, and the always-nasty Absorption (yeah, Boo’s got tricks). Every match holds a chance to spawn a Boo Portal or even part of Roku (Angel)’s hidden evolution—but you’ll need to find them on the map yourself.
🪐 Land of the Gods — High Stakes, Higher Power
In this new Legend Stage, Boo’s wrath threatens the cosmos itself. Expect ancient lore, new music, and serious loot—including familiar drops like Bobodi and Pupper. Oh, and the second half of Roku’s evolution item might spawn here too… if you’re lucky.
🎟️ New Battle Pass: Scarlet & Silver
Say goodbye to Dave and Luce—Dawntay and Vigil are your new pass exclusives, each with their own custom soundtracks. Grind through tiers to earn Gems, Gold, and unique units all over again.
🛠 Major Overhauls and Quality of Life Tweaks
- Corrupt your Familiars in Odyssey for big power boosts—at a risky cost.
- Challenge UI is revamped with a new Weekly Challenge, bigger daily rewards, and four rotating 30-minute challenges that actually make it worth logging in more often.
- Auto Summon Fusing, Trait Filters, Familiar Sorting, and a better team interface round out this quality-of-life overhaul.
- And finally: pick which units appear on your profile. Flex properly.
Update 5.0 is packed with stuff to explore, and yeah, it might take a few days to really wrap your head around it all. Oh, and before we forget—don’t miss out on the in-game codes. They’re still active and can give you a nice head start with Gems and other rewards.
