Latest Patch Overview: Update 13.5 (Eternal Adversaries)
Released on June 21, 2026, the Eternal Adversaries update represents the latest major content drop. This patch focuses heavily on summer-themed survival content, new units, and quality-of-life adjustments to progression systems. The core event activities center around the Summer Gamemode, where players battle endless waves of enemies to earn Iced Teas, which can then be spent at the seasonal shop.
Six new units joined the roster, split among banner summons, Event Pass targets, and Worldlines progression rewards. The patch also introduces Summer Portals, allowing players to farm exclusive rewards, including Vanguard Familiars.
| Unit Name | Rarity | Obtainment Path | Primary Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Today's Strongest vs History's Strongest | Vanguard | Summer Banner | Premium Carry |
| Raging Oni vs Wrath God | Secret | Worldlines | High Damage Core |
| Envoy of Destruction (Resistance) | Exclusive | Event Pass | Support Utility |
| Lord (Fairy) | Mythic | Summer Mode | Progression DPS |
| Reaper (Scissors) | Mythic | Summer Mode | Crowd Control |
| Cursed Doctor (Healer) | Mythic | Summer Mode | Support Healer |
Update 13.5 Action Items:
- Unlock and progress the Summer Event Pass for exclusive cosmetics and units
- Farm the endless Summer Gamemode to stockpile Iced Teas for event rewards
- Clear Summer Portals to obtain Vanguard Familiars and upgrade materials
- Recycle duplicate Memoria at the social hub to acquire Memoria Scrap
- Target the Summer 26 Seasonal Banner to summon new Vanguard-rarity carries
Event-specific currencies like Iced Teas do not carry over to future patches. Spend your event balances in the seasonal shop before the Eternal Adversaries event window closes.
Historic Patch Highlights: Updates 10.5 to 13.0
Examining prior versions within the anime vanguards update log helps returning players understand how current systems evolved. Major additions like Odyssey mode, guilds, and specialized summon mechanics were introduced over several months in 2026.
Update 13.0: Godly Ascension
- Ascension Pathways: Added the Kokashi NPC for upgrading Mythic units.
- Pirate Dynasty: Introduced new Rift stages and pirate-themed evolutionary quests.
- Boss Rush: Added a boss-heavy mode for high-tier progression items.
Update 12.5: Turning Tides
- Odyssey Rework: Adjusted reward scaling and introduced selectable run modifiers.
- Elemental Tower: Implemented a comprehensive skill tree for passive stat boosts.
- Guild Overhaul: Added weekly guild quests, leveling, and a dedicated guild store.
Update 11.0: Demonic Rampage
- Story Expansion: Unlocked the Hill of Swords campaign stages.
- Dispersal Mechanics: Introduced enemies that split into smaller targets upon defeat.
- Unit Memoria: Launched the standard Memoria summon system.
Update 10.5: Frozen Solitude

- Worldlines Reset: Refreshed floor-based progression rewards and milestone limits.
- Legacy Exchange: Added a shop option to trade past event items.
These historical patches shifted the meta by introducing specific gameplay challenges. For instance, the Dispersal mechanic added in Update 11.0 increased the demand for fast-attacking AoE units, while the Ascension system in Update 13.0 made duplicate Mythic summons valuable.
| Update Version | Primary Mode | Core Progression Mechanic | Key Story Setting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Update 13.0 | Boss Rush | Kokashi Ascension | Pirate Dynasty Rifts |
| Update 12.5 | Odyssey Rework | Elemental Skill Tree | Guild Overhaul Maps |
| Update 11.0 | Hill of Swords | Standard Memoria Summon | Demonic Outposts |
| Update 10.5 | Winter Survival | Legacy Shop Exchanges | Frozen Lobby Stages |
Features introduced in historical updates, such as the Odyssey and Worldlines reset cycles, remain active. Returning players should complete their baseline story progression before jumping into these specialized modes.
Core Gameplay Systems Changed by Updates
Multiple core systems have changed to streamline progression. The most notable change in Update 13.5 is the rework of the Memoria system. Previously, players had to evolve Memoria manually, which required substantial grinding. Now, all Memoria are evolved by default, and evolving a unit automatically rewards you with its designated Memoria.
Duplicate Memoria can be broken down using the new Memoria Recycling mechanic to earn Memoria Scrap, which can be spent in the Exclusive Shop. Additionally, Memoria Leveling Tickets allow players to instantly boost a Memoria's level to 60.
Evolve Base Units First
Summon base Mythic, Secret, or Vanguard units. Evolve them using materials gathered from Legend Stages, Raids, or Event Shops. This process now automatically awards the unit's default evolved Memoria.
Manage Memoria Inventory
Equip your newly acquired Memoria. Take any unwanted duplicates to the social hub, recycle them for Memoria Scrap, and trade the scrap for high-value progression items in the Exclusive Shop.
Optimize Unit Traits
Visit the Mandra Traits NPC to roll for high-tier traits like Monarch, Ethereal, or Deadeye. Evolution, normalization, and stat transfers do not reset your trait pity count.
Execute Ascension Steps
For Mythic units that you plan to keep long-term, take unlocked, non-shiny duplicate copies to the Kokashi NPC to apply Ascension levels for permanent stat upgrades.
The Ascension system remains a key endgame scaling mechanic. However, players must plan their upgrades carefully because evolving a Mythic unit into a Secret or Vanguard rarity form resets all active ascensions. Evolve the unit first, then apply ascension upgrades.
| Ascension Level | Stat Buff Type | Damage Bonus | Range Bonus | Copy Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ascension I | Base Damage | +3% Damage | None | 1 Duplicate |
| Ascension II | Attack Range | None | +5% Range | 1 Duplicate |
| Ascension III | Evolved Damage | +7% Damage | None | 1 Duplicate |
Use Memoria Leveling Tickets to quickly upgrade newly acquired Memoria. Bringing your equipped Memoria to Level 60 provides immediate stat scaling without forcing you to grind lower-tier stages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where can I find the official anime vanguards update log?
The official changes are posted directly to the vanguards.gg website under the changelog category, as well as in the announcements channel of the official Anime Vanguards Discord server.
Q: What happens to my old Memoria after the Update 13.5 rework?
Under the new system, all Memoria are evolved by default. Evolving your units automatically grants their default Memoria, and duplicate Memoria can be recycled at the social hub for Memoria Scrap.
Q: Do my Ascension levels transfer when I evolve a Mythic unit?
No. Evolving a Mythic unit to a Secret or Vanguard rarity removes its current ascensions. To avoid wasting resources, finish the evolution path before applying ascensions at the Kokashi NPC.
Q: How do I earn Iced Teas in the Update 13.5 event?
Iced Teas are earned by playing the endless Summer Gamemode, clearing Summer Portals, and completing daily or weekly Event Pass challenges during the Eternal Adversaries event window.
