Guía de elementos de la unidad de Anime Vanguards

Apart from the various new units, the Update 1 of Anime Vanguards also features a new unit element system to the base game. Many players on multiple platforms are getting confused about this new gameplay feature compared to the existing traits functionality. So, here is a dedicated guide explaining everything about the Unit Elements feature in the game.

What are Unit Elements in Anime Vanguards?

Every Character in Anime Vanguards has a unique element associated with them. These elements provide unique buffs/perks to the character to increase their overall effectiveness in battle. It may include an increase in damage while attacking a boss, immunity to any type of debuffs, or other buffs that vary from Element to Element.

You can always check the Element of your unit by hovering over the character profile in the upgrade menu while playing the game. So, first place down the unit and then hover over the unit profile to get to know its element type.

All Unit Elements in Anime Vanguards

As of now, there are 10 different Unit Elements in the game, and you can see the buffs provided by each of them below.

Most enemies/bosses in Anime Vanguards have Elemental weaknesses that can be dealt with and defeated more quickly if you have a counter Element type on your team. For example, suppose an enemy is weak against the Spark Element. In that case, you must have a Spark-type character like Genitsu in your team loadout.

This change will force the players to experiment with several of the units they neglected in the past in their loadouts and also customize new loadouts based on enemies or bosses on a map rather than using a standard team for every stage.

Can you change the Element of your Unit?

No, you cannot change the Element of your Unit like you could a Trait, as these are fixed for each character. So, please don't expect to change the Element of your unit from X to Y through rerolling using crystals or other items in the game.

It's also unlikely such a feature will be added, because it will defeat the purpose of the mechanic (ie to include neglected units and make a loadout specific to a map).
