One of the biggest changes in the latest update is the Anime Vanguards Elements system. It alters the way you build your teams before heading into battle!

To see how you’re units have changed in Update 1, hop into Anime Vanguards on Roblox! For more content on the new units, check out our Anime Vanguards Itadori guide, which discusses whether or not the Mythical unit has an evolved form.

Anime Vanguards Elements

Elements are a new addition to the game, which shakes up how units perform as a whole. Due to these changes, you may even need to rethink your team build, and your overall strategies in combat.

Enemies are now weak to certain elements, so it’s best to double-check their stats as you head into a fight. Prioritise your units that can target these weaknesses to excel in battle.

With the addition of elements, the original stats for Physical and Magic DMG are now null. A unit’s DMG numbers now reflect their element, with corresponding colours.

Elements

Every unit has an element, which remains the same, and entirely depends on the unit’s abilities. So, when you’re summoning, you now need to pay close attention to any elements you’re missing.

It’s best to have every element covered, as you never know when you’ll need them to exploit an enemy’s weakness!
