Anime Vanguards Update 8 brings a handful of exciting new units, and one of the most sought-after is Griffith. Unlike most units that can be obtained from the banner, Griffith requires players to complete a special challenge. This makes him trickier to unlock, but with the right strategy, you can add him to your collection. Here’s a full guide on how to get Griffith in Anime Vanguards.
Where to Find Griffith
Griffith is not available in the summon banner. Instead, he appears as a special event quest unit. During stages, Griffith has a chance to spawn under certain conditions. Specifically, he can appear in any stage before Wave 10 with a 1% chance per wave, meaning you have around a 10% chance per stage.
The Eclipse Demon Challenge
When Griffith’s event triggers, the Eclipse Demons will appear. This is the most important part of the challenge. These enemies don’t just attack your base; instead, if they touch any of your units, those units will be instantly sold. If even one of your placed units gets sold, you fail the Griffith challenge and won’t be able to obtain him.
Best Strategy to Get Griffith
To clear the event and unlock Griffith, you’ll need a strong approach:
- Use Full AoE Units – The safest strategy is to bring units that can hit multiple enemies at once. This way, the Eclipse Demons can’t slip through and reach your units.
- Limit Your Unit Placement – Place as few units as possible. The fewer you place, the fewer chances Eclipse Demons have to touch and sell them.
- Rely on Strong Solo Carries – Characters like Esenar are great picks since he can solo waves effectively with his burn ability. This makes him one of the best options for surviving the challenge.
- Survive for 5 Waves – Once the event triggers, you’ll need to survive for five full waves without losing a single unit to Eclipse Demons. Only then will you be able to obtain Griffith.
Key Tips for Success
- Bring the strongest full AoE units you own.
- Don’t spam placements—focus on a few powerful characters.
- Be prepared for multiple attempts since Griffith only spawns at random.
Unlocking Griffith in Anime Vanguards Update 8 requires both patience and strategy. Since his event only has a small chance of appearing, you may need to grind several runs before you encounter it. Once you do, rely on your best AoE damage dealers and keep unit placement minimal to secure victory. With persistence, Griffith will eventually join your roster as one of the rarest units in the update.
