All 104 Modifiers in Anime Vanguards

Modifiers change the rules around a run instead of simply adding more enemy health. They can disable parts of a team, protect enemies, trigger boss attacks, or reshape the economy, so reading the effect before placing units saves a very expensive surprise.

Enemy Effects

15 items

Enemy Effects explain the practical counter to a named mechanic. Some use immunity, cleansing, Nullify, elements, or bypass damage, while others must be avoided because no direct counter exists.

Depleted

Depleted changes a stage or enemy rule, so plan around its listed effect and counter.

Status: Active system
Modifier Type: Enemy Effects
Effect: Applies an enemy mechanic that needs a specific counter.
Counter: There is no counter to Depleted. When Depleted appears in a stage, players must try to avoid hitting the enemy with their Meter units, or resort to omitting Meter units from their team.
cooldown: -

Blinded

Blinded changes a stage or enemy rule, so plan around its listed effect and counter.

Status: Active system
Modifier Type: Enemy Effects
Effect: Applies an enemy mechanic that needs a specific counter.
Counter: Nature and Unknown are naturally immune to Blinded, since Nature nullifies Range debuffs and Unknown is immune to all. Additionally, all Cleansers can cleanse applications of Blinded, and protectors can protect in the same way. Because of Blinded's on-hit application (one tick per hit), certain cleansers may waste their cleansing ability on a single tick of Blinded before subsequent ticks are applied.
cooldown: -

Resilient

Resilient changes a stage or enemy rule, so plan around its listed effect and counter.

Status: Active system
Modifier Type: Enemy Effects
Effect: Applies an enemy mechanic that needs a specific counter.
Counter: Nullify is the main counter for Resilient, as resorting to units that have smaller AOEs can prove detrimental to the match as a whole. However, since Nullify is an effect, enemies with Immunity would be unaffected. As such, the next best counter is using the Gon familiar.
cooldown: -

Sturdy

Sturdy changes a stage or enemy rule, so plan around its listed effect and counter.

Status: Active system
Modifier Type: Enemy Effects
Effect: Applies an enemy mechanic that needs a specific counter.
Counter: Nature and Water units not only bypass Sturdy's Damage reduction, but receive +40% Damage dealt to their attacks. Since Sturdy works through Damage reduction, Nullify can disable the enemy's Damage reduction, and Bypassers who can bypass Damage reduction are effective as well.
cooldown: -

Challenger

Challenger changes a stage or enemy rule, so plan around its listed effect and counter.

Status: Active system
Modifier Type: Enemy Effects
Effect: Applies an enemy mechanic that needs a specific counter.
Counter: Since Challenger functions purely through summons, there is no inherent counter; normal summons will always fail to damage Challenger enemies, and Elite Summons will always be reduced.
cooldown: -

Energy Drain

Energy Drain changes a stage or enemy rule, so plan around its listed effect and counter.

Status: Active system
Modifier Type: Enemy Effects
Effect: Applies an enemy mechanic that needs a specific counter.
Counter: Spark and Unknown are naturally immune to Energy Drain, since Spark nullifies Damage debuffs and Unknown is immune to all. Additionally, all Cleansers can cleanse applications of Energy Drain, and protectors can protect in the same way. Because of Energy Drain's on-hit application (one tick per hit), certain cleansers may waste their cleansing ability on a single tick of Energy Drain before subsequent ticks are applied.
cooldown: -

Absorption

Absorption changes a stage or enemy rule, so plan around its listed effect and counter.

Status: Active system
Modifier Type: Enemy Effects
Effect: Applies an enemy mechanic that needs a specific counter.
Counter: Since Absorption functions purely through summons, there is no inherent counter; normal summons will always heal Absorption enemies.
cooldown: -

Armored

Armored changes a stage or enemy rule, so plan around its listed effect and counter.

Status: Active system
Modifier Type: Enemy Effects
Effect: Applies an enemy mechanic that needs a specific counter.
Counter: Nullify is the main counter for Armored, but in many stages where Armored is present, players may want to opt for spamming placements of cheap RareRare units with high placement counts (Jon, for example) due to the cost-effectiveness and universal application of the strategy. Since Armored works through damage reduction, Bypassers who can bypass Damage reduction are effective as well.
cooldown: -

Overshield

Overshield changes a stage or enemy rule, so plan around its listed effect and counter.

Status: Active system
Modifier Type: Enemy Effects
Effect: Applies an enemy mechanic that needs a specific counter.
Counter: World Destroyer, World Destroyer (Old) are the main counters for Overshield, as they can completely remove it on-hit. Since Overshield works through damage reduction, Nullify can disable the enemy's Damage reduction, and Bypassers who can bypass damage reduction are effective as well.
cooldown: -

Fast

Fast changes a stage or enemy rule, so plan around its listed effect and counter.

Status: Active system
Modifier Type: Enemy Effects
Effect: Applies an enemy mechanic that needs a specific counter.
Counter: The best counters for Fast are any Crowd Control effects, with movement stoppers ( Freeze, Stun) being the most effective, followed by Slow, and finally Repulse, since it always repulses by a set distance, independent of Movespeed.
cooldown: -

Regen

Regen changes a stage or enemy rule, so plan around its listed effect and counter.

Status: Active system
Modifier Type: Enemy Effects
Effect: Applies an enemy mechanic that needs a specific counter.
Counter: Rupture is the main counter for Regen, as it disables innate regeneration. Bleed is the next best option, as it disables innate regeneration for its duration.
cooldown: -

Shielded

Shielded changes a stage or enemy rule, so plan around its listed effect and counter.

Status: Active system
Modifier Type: Enemy Effects
Effect: Applies an enemy mechanic that needs a specific counter.
Counter: Tuji (Sorcerer Killer) is the best counter for Shielded, as it completely deletes Shielded on-hit, but due to this unit not having any other uses, it is more optimal to bring a Full AOE multi-hit unit to deplete the shields naturally.
cooldown: -

Thrice

Thrice changes a stage or enemy rule, so plan around its listed effect and counter.

Status: Active system
Modifier Type: Enemy Effects
Effect: Applies an enemy mechanic that needs a specific counter.
Counter: The best counter for Thrice is Full AOE, since the extra spawns won't hinder your units' attacking power on other enemies. Multi-hit units aren't as effective, due to the brief invincibility the copies gain after spawning. Additionally, one can use special bypassers, like Divalo (Requiem), to disable on-death mechanics.
cooldown: -

Dodge

Dodge changes a stage or enemy rule, so plan around its listed effect and counter.

Status: Active system
Modifier Type: Enemy Effects
Effect: Applies an enemy mechanic that needs a specific counter.
Counter: Nullify is the best counter for Dodge, as it allows every unit on the player's roster to attack enemies freely. Units that can bypass dodge chance are also viable.
cooldown: -

Revitalize

Revitalize changes a stage or enemy rule, so plan around its listed effect and counter.

Status: Active system
Modifier Type: Enemy Effects
Effect: Applies an enemy mechanic that needs a specific counter.
Counter: Revitalize can be countered by Bleed, Rupture and Nullify (has to be applied to the enemy that is being killed, not the one being healed). If an enemy with this modifier dies, and they are not under the aforementioned effects, they will hear nearby enemies, regardless of the effects applied to the enemies healed.

Reading stage and enemy rules

Stage Modifiers apply a broad rule to the fight, such as draining Meter, reducing Range, changing how damage spreads, or making enemies resist certain attacks. Build around that rule before the wave gets busy. A favorite unit is still allowed to be the wrong tool for one stage.

Enemy Modifiers describe protection or behavior attached to enemies, including Overshield, Regen, Dodge, Shields, extra speed, or death copies. Enemy Effects focus on the response to a named mechanic. The same name can appear in both places because one explains what happens and the other explains the counter.

Some mechanics have a clean answer through elements, immunity, cleansing, Nullify, bypass effects, or a different attack type. Others have no direct counter and require avoiding the trigger or leaving a vulnerable unit type out of the team. Empty Counter text should never be treated as proof that every normal answer works.

Preparing for enemy attacks

Status Attacks usually stop units from acting through Stun or another condition. Debuff Attacks lower Damage or Range, raise SPA, or place a mark that another enemy can use. Spread key roles across placements when a boss targets nearby units, and protect the unit that keeps your team functioning.

Summoner Attacks add enemies or objects that create another job during the wave. Special Attacks follow unique triggers and can remove, steal, or destroy units, so their effect matters more than a normal damage race. Bosses do enjoy adding chores to a crisis.

Cooldown shows whether an attack repeats on a timer. N/A can mean the action is tied to a spawn, health threshold, number of hits, or a special one-time trigger instead, so watch the effect wording rather than waiting for a clock that never volunteered.

Choosing modifier cards

Starting Cards establish a rule for the run, such as enemy multiplication, healing, explosions, crowd-control immunity, or unit stuns. Choose a team that can live with the card from the opening waves because the effect is not a problem you solve after it has already eaten the lane.

Stacking Cards add effects that can build as more copies are taken. Extra Shields, speed, SPA, Dodge, regeneration, or health can look manageable alone and become the real boss when combined, so judge the total pressure instead of each card in isolation.

Dungeon-Exclusive Cards only belong to Dungeon runs and can offer a bonus, a penalty, or both. Compare the tradeoff with your team before taking it: extra income, traits, placement space, damage, Range loss, time changes, and Life Stock recovery each favor a different plan.

Dungeon-only choices can strengthen the team, weaken it, change the economy, or trade one stat for another. The best card depends on whether your current team can exploit the upside without collapsing under the cost.

FAQ

What is the difference between Stage Modifiers and Enemy Modifiers?

Stage Modifiers set a broad rule for the fight. Enemy Modifiers add protection or behavior to enemies, such as Overshield, Regen, Dodge, Shields, speed, or death copies.

Why does the same modifier name appear under Enemy Effects?

The stage or enemy entry explains what the mechanic does. The Enemy Effects entry explains a supported counter, immunity, cleanse, bypass, or avoidance plan for that mechanic.

What does N/A cooldown mean for a boss attack?

It means the attack is not shown as a normal repeating timer. Its trigger may be a spawn, health threshold, hit count, transformation, or special one-time action described in the effect.

How should I prepare for Status and Debuff Attacks?

Read the target rule, trigger, duration, and cooldown. Spread important roles when attacks hit nearby units, and bring protection or cleansing only when the named effect allows it.

What is special about Stacking Cards?

Their pressure builds as more copies are added. Plan around the combined Shields, speed, SPA, Dodge, regeneration, or health instead of judging each pick alone.

Can Dungeon-Exclusive Cards help the player?

Yes. Some give income, damage, traits, placement space, healing, or other benefits, while others attach a penalty or tradeoff that the team must handle.
