Anime Vanguards Winter Update 3.0: Lobby Revamped, New Portals Mode Added

Roblox developer Kitawari has launched the *Anime Vanguards* Winter Update 3.0, introducing a comprehensive overhaul to the game’s unit roster and lobby system while also delivering a host of quality-of-life improvements. This update is packed with new content designed to keep players engaged long into the winter season.

One of the most immediately noticeable changes in this patch is the brand-new lobby experience. Longtime fans will appreciate the expanded space, offering more room for customization and future game modes. The update also includes a remastered UI, featuring what the team describes as a “much cleaner and improved” stage selection interface.

“We heard your feedback—the previous lobby felt cramped and limited our ability to add new features,” Kitawari shared in the official patch notes. “Get ready for our stunning new lobby—10x more immersive than before—with a customizable Day and Night cycle available in Settings!”

New Game Modes and Units

A major highlight of the update is the introduction of two new game modes: Portals and Sandbox Mode. In Portals, players can enjoy unique mechanics and progress through tiers to unlock exclusive rewards such as three new familiars (Doggo, Sebamon, Padoru), secret portal units, gift boxes, and winter-themed currency. It's recommended to use winter-themed units and skins to maximize team damage and reward yields.

Sandbox Mode offers unrestricted gameplay, allowing players to experiment freely with any unit, spawn enemies at will, adjust stats, and explore creative strategies without limitations.

The update also brings an impressive lineup of 12 new units, obtainable through various avenues:

• New Winter Banner: Emmie (Ice Witch), Rom and Ran (Fanatic), Foboko (Hellish), Karem (Chilled), Rogita (Super 4)
