With Update 1.5 on the horizon for Anime Vanguards, players are gearing up for the release of Sukuna, one of the most anticipated characters in the game. As confirmed by the developers, Sukuna will be introduced as a secret unit, and players will need to evolve Itadori to unlock him. This guide will walk you through everything you need to do to prepare for Sukuna’s arrival, ensuring you’re ready to evolve Itadori as soon as the update drops.
What You Need to Do Before Anime Vanguards Update 1.5 Sukuna
1. Obtain Itadori
The first and most crucial step is to ensure you have an Itadori unit. Since Sukuna will be an evolution of Itadori, you must have at least one Itadori in your roster.
- You only need one Itadori to evolve him into Sukuna, so there’s no need to stockpile multiple units like some other evolutions (e.g., Gojo). This will make the process more straightforward, but getting your hands on Itadori as soon as possible is vital if you haven’t already done so.
2. Optimize Itadori’s Stats
To get the best out of Sukuna once he’s released, you’ll want to maximize Itadori’s stats before the update. Specifically, focus on upgrading damage and SPA (seconds per attack).
- Stat Transfer Strategy: Roll on other mythic units to get Z or Z+ stats and transfer them to Itadori. If you’re aiming for a perfect Sukuna, this step is critical to making sure your unit will have top-tier stats after evolution.
- Infinite Mode Grinding: Use Infinite Mode to farm for resources and stat reroll items. This mode allows you to bring multiple mythics, grind them to 100%, and then roll for Z+ stats to transfer to Itadori.
3. Farm Takedowns
In previous updates, several units required a set number of kills (takedowns) to evolve, and there’s a chance Sukuna will have a similar requirement. To stay ahead, start farming kills for Itadori.
- Infinite Mode for Takedowns: The easiest way to accumulate kills is by running Infinite Mode. Even if it turns out Sukuna doesn’t require takedowns, being proactive ensures you don’t fall behind if the evolution does come with such a requirement.
4. Gather Evolution Materials (Cursed Fingers)
To evolve Itadori into Sukuna, you will need Cursed Fingers, which are dropped in the Shuya Infinite Mode. It’s estimated that you’ll need around 20 Cursed Fingers, as Sukuna’s character in the anime requires 20 fingers to reach full power.
- Farm Fingers in Advance: Since this requirement might be essential to evolving Sukuna, make sure you have at least 20 fingers ready by the time the update arrives. Starting early can save you a lot of time and stress later.
5. Collect Star Remnants
Star Remnants are crucial for evolving units in Anime Vanguards. Without enough remnants, you won’t be able to perform the evolution, no matter how prepared your Itadori is. Make sure to farm these items through daily challenges and grinding modes to ensure you have enough when the update drops.
6. Roll for Traits
Once you’ve evolved Itadori into Sukuna, you’ll want Sukuna to have the best possible traits. Traits like Monarch can make a huge difference in Sukuna’s performance, especially considering Sukuna will likely be one of the best units in the game.
- Roll Traits After Evolution: You can use reroll items and trait rolls to aim for high-tier traits like Monarch. Prioritize rolling after you’ve completed the evolution to avoid wasting resources.
By following these steps—getting your Itadori, optimizing his stats, farming takedowns, and collecting Cursed Fingers—you’ll be well-prepared for Sukuna’s arrival in Anime Vanguards Update 1.5. Preparation is key, and taking these actions now will save you time and ensure that you unlock Sukuna as soon as the update hits. Make sure to grind efficiently and good luck in your journey to evolving one of the game’s most powerful units!
