The Anime Vanguards Update 1.5 has introduced a fascinating new feature: Unit Familiars. These companions provide helpful buffs to your units, enhancing your gameplay and giving you an edge in battles. In this guide, we’ll explain everything you need to know about Unit Familiars, how to get them, and how to equip them to boost your units’ performance.
What Are Unit Familiars in Anime Vanguards?
Unit Familiars are little companions in Anime Vanguards that grant powerful buffs to the unit they are equipped to. These buffs can significantly improve your gameplay, with benefits including increased elemental damage, critical hit chance, and critical hit damage.
- Elemental Damage: Increases the damage dealt by your unit’s elemental attacks.
- Critical Hit Chance: Boosts the probability of your unit landing a critical hit.
- Critical Hit Damage: Raises the damage output when a critical hit occurs.
Unit Familiars can only be equipped to one unit at a time, so to apply them to multiple units, you’ll need to obtain more Familiars. Each familiar provides a unique passive buff, but the values are randomized, so even with the same familiar, you might get different buffs from player to player.
How to Get a Unit Familiar
Unit Familiars cannot be purchased; they must be earned through gameplay. To obtain a Unit Familiar, you will need to take on the Occult Raid. Here’s how it works:
- Defeat Bosses: Each time you defeat a boss in the Occult Raid, you have a 1% chance to receive a Unit Familiar. Given the low drop rate, be prepared to take on many bosses before securing one—unless you’re very lucky, of course.
- Grind for Familiars: Since the drop rate is relatively low, acquiring multiple Unit Familiars will require some grinding. Keep taking on bosses in the Occult Raid to increase your chances of getting a familiar.
As of now, Turbo Granny is the only Unit Familiar available in the game, but with future updates, more familiars may be added to provide a variety of buffs and additional gameplay strategies.
All Unit Familiars in Anime Vanguards
Currently, there is only one Unit Familiar in Anime Vanguards: Turbo Granny. Inspired by the anime Dan Da Dan, Turbo Granny provides a couple of helpful passive buffs:
- Granny Guidance: Boosts elemental damage.
- Beckoning Cat: Increases critical hit chance and raises critical hit damage with each attack. Once a critical hit occurs, the damage resets.
Turbo Granny is a great starting familiar, especially with its elemental damage buff, but more familiars with different buffs are expected in future updates.
How to Equip a Unit Familiar in Anime Vanguards
Equipping a Unit Familiar to your unit is a simple process. Here’s how to do it:
- Open the Units Menu: Start by clicking the “Units” tab in the game’s main menu.
- Go to the Familiars Tab: Once in the Units menu, navigate to the “Familiars” tab where you can see your available Unit Familiars.
- Select a Familiar: Choose the Unit Familiar you want to equip from the list.
- Equip the Familiar: After selecting the familiar, click on the “Equip” button.
- Choose a Unit: You’ll then be prompted to select which unit you want to equip the familiar to. Pick the unit that will benefit most from the familiar’s buff.
- Confirm Your Selection: After choosing the unit, click “Select” to equip the familiar.
To unequip a familiar, simply press the “Unequip” button, which will replace the “Equip” button.
Unit Familiars in Anime Vanguards are a fantastic way to enhance your units’ abilities and improve your performance in battles. While the current options are limited, Turbo Granny is a solid companion to help you increase elemental damage and critical hit stats. To get your hands on these familiars, be prepared to dive into the Occult Raid and grind your way through bosses for a chance at these powerful buffs. Keep an eye on future updates, as more familiars may be introduced to offer a broader range of strategic benefits.
