Anime Vanguards Unveils Enhanced Lobby and Portals Mode in 3.0 Update

Anime Vanguards' Winter Update 3.0: A Festive Overhaul

Roblox developer Kitawari has unleashed Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0, bringing significant enhancements to this tower-defense game. The update boasts a revamped lobby, a wider unit roster, and numerous quality-of-life improvements designed to keep players engaged throughout the winter season.

The most striking change is the completely redesigned lobby, offering anime enthusiasts a more spacious and visually appealing starting point for each session. This is complemented by a remastered UI, particularly a significantly improved stage selection interface. Kitawari's patch notes highlight the previous lobby's limitations, stating the need for more space to accommodate new game modes. The new lobby even features a customizable day-night cycle accessible in the settings.

Key additions in Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0 include:

• New Game Modes: "Portals," a mode encouraging the use of winter units and skins for enhanced rewards, and "Sandbox Mode," allowing players to experiment freely with strategies.
• Expanded Unit Roster: Twelve new units are available across a new Winter Banner, the Portals game mode, the battle pass, and leaderboard rewards.
• Quality-of-Life Enhancements: These include smoother unit placement, improved Evolution Quest visibility, search bars for skins and familiars, and clearer unit targeting indicators.

This update builds on the momentum from a recent November update inspired by the anime Dandadan. For more information on Kitawari's ongoing development, including active codes, please refer to this link.
