Anime Vanguards Elements Guide
As of Update 1, elements have had an overhaul, impacting both units and enemies. Any unit you have with an elemental advantage will now have an additional stat when placed which either benefits or hinders them depending on the map and enemy types.
This elemental shift forces a new strategy during gameplay rather than setting down an overpowered elemental unit (such as Rengoku which is a Flame Unit) and letting them dominate the battlefield. When entering any battle now, you’ll want to consider the enemy types, and what units you have to hand that are best equipped for the job of taking them down.
All Elements Buffs
Let’s get into each elemental chance and its advantage in combat!
- Fire Units – Gain an immunity to Snare attacks.
- Water Units – Gain an immunity to incoming SPA debuff moves.
- Nature Units – Gain an immunity to incoming RNG debuff moves.
- Spark Units – Gain an immunity to incoming DMG debuff moves.
- Holy Units – Applied unit debuffs from enemies expire 10% faster.
- Curse Units – Gain a +5% DMG buff when fighting bosses.
- Unbound Units – Critical hit chance increases by +5%.
- Blast Units – Ignore up to 10% of an enemy’s DMG reduction.
- Cosmic Units – Gain a +10% DMG buff on placement.
- Passion Units – Increase dodge chance by +10%.
How To Strategize Your Elemental Units
Using the above section, you’ll be able to enter each battle pre-prepared. For example, Raids have stronger bosses than those found during the standard story mode on any map. Therefore, selecting units with the Curse or Cosmic Element could make all the difference between a win or loss.
Alternatively, if fighting enemies who spam debuffs to slow you down whilst they progress towards your tower, Fire, Water, Nature and Spark all have their specific niches, or for something more general, Holy Units would be your best friend!
