Anime Vanguards Story Mode

Checked 2026-10-14 · Update 15.0

Update 15 consolidates each Story stage into Act 1 and adds Exp Rush, unlocked after clearing that Act 1. Exp Rush gives 1,000 XP per clear below player level 60.

Old acts have moved

Story Acts 2-6 and their achievements were removed. Drops formerly exclusive to those acts moved to Act 1, including Berserker's Blade, Chipped Blade, Cursed Bullet and Scrap Metal Master. Boss Events now unlock from their stage's Act 1. Old six-act Story instructions are historical, while Legend-stage acts remain a different system.

Exp Rush eligibility

Players at level 60 and above may still enter Exp Rush but do not earn player XP from it. The 1,000 XP is a stated stage payout for eligible players, not unit EXP or an hourly farming-rate promise.
