Anime vanguards Update 1.5 is now available for Roblox players and brings new additions such as Familiars, new units, an occult event and more.
The latest update to the hit Roblox game arrived today from developer Kitawari, further fleshing out the anime crossover experience with new ways to play and a range of new customization options. Patch notes detail additions that mainly include new toys to play with, but there’s also a solid list of improvements and bug fixes to make the gameplay and visuals smoother.
The Anime Vanguards Occult Event tops the list of new content and comes with an Occult Dungeon, a Talismans mechanic, Spirit Wisps, and a host of new modifiers. There is also an occult shop to visit, an occult banner and new bundles. However, Kitawari noted in a post on Discord that players must be level 20 to participate in the event.
While previous updates introduced characters inspired by popular anime like Naruto, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Dragon Ball, Update 1.5 is based on a more recent hit: Dandadan. New units coming from the show include Divalo (Vanguard), Saiko (Exclusive), Okorun (Exclusive), Pweeny (Exclusive), and Mimi (Exclusive). A skin system allows players to customize existing units with new outfits, which can be obtained through the Occult Banner. Meanwhile, Kitawari says that Familiars will help your unit by providing them with “substantial improvements.”
Anime Vanguards was released in September and has continued to attract Roblox players for months. While momentum has largely been maintained since launch, its development has not been without incident. In June, the developers behind the anime-inspired adventure expressed concern that updates would be few and far between, and promised to continue communication as development progressed. Update 1.5 proves that there is much more in store, although it is unclear when the next update will be released.
