Units are the core of Anime Vanguards teams. Players summon, level, and evolve them to cover lanes, farm resources, support carries, and push harder stages, so rarity is only the first thing to compare.

Rarity is a starting point, not the whole team
Anime Vanguards has units across Transcendent, Vanguard, Secret, Exclusive, Mythic, Legendary, Epic, and Rare groups. Transcendent currently includes True Shadow Monarch, a Player Quest evolution from Song Jinwu and Igros. Rarity helps frame the chase, but teams still need the right element, placement type, passives, cost, and place limit for the stage.
Base forms and evolved forms both matter
Many units appear as separate base and evolved forms. Keep them separate when planning upgrades, because an evolved form can change passives, max upgrades, placement value, or the job it fills in a run. A base form may still matter if it leads into a stronger version later.
Epic units are early and mid-roster pieces. They help fill teams, cover elements, and bridge progression while stronger units and evolutions are still missing.
Exclusive units often come from limited or special routes. Their value depends on what they add to a team, such as support, farming, unique passives, or a form that is harder to replace.
Legendary units can fill useful slots as a roster grows. Their element, cost, or role may solve a stage problem.
Mythic units make up a large part of serious team building. Many have evolved versions or strong passives, so they are worth comparing by element, type, and upgrade count instead of name alone.
Rare units are the easiest group to outgrow, but they still explain the early roster and help new players understand the unit system before chasing higher rarities.
Secret units include rare chase units, evolved forms, and special variants. Compare their passives and placement rules before deciding which one deserves the heaviest investment.
FAQ
How many units are in Anime Vanguards?
This roster includes 448 Anime Vanguards units, including base units, evolved forms, special variants, and entries across Transcendent, Vanguard, Secret, Exclusive, Mythic, Legendary, Epic, and Rare rarities.
Are evolved forms counted separately from base units?
Yes. Base and evolved forms are separate entries when they appear as separate units, because they can have different passives, upgrade counts, costs, placement value, or team roles.
Does the highest rarity always mean the best Anime Vanguards unit?
No. Rarity helps show how special or hard to get a unit may be, but team value also depends on element, battlefield type, passives, deployment cost, place limit, and how the unit fits the stage.
What does battlefield type mean for a unit?
Battlefield type shows whether a unit is listed for a placement or role such as ground, air, hybrid, support, or farm. It matters because some stages and team setups need specific placement coverage.
Which fields matter most before investing in a unit?
Start with rarity and element, then check battlefield type, passive names, deployment cost, place limit, and max upgrades. Those fields give a quick view of what the unit does and how costly it is to build during a run.
