Smith John Trial in Anime Vanguards
Checked 2026-10-14 · Update 15.0
The John Smith search refers to Smith John's trial: 15 waves on Planet Namak Story Act 1, a fixed traitless loadout and Disguising Mask as the clear reward.
Assigned units
The stage supplies Smith John, Agony, Todu (Unleashed), Alligator, Tempest Pirate (Navigator) and Sprintwagon. It is entirely traitless, so a Monarch trait on your owned unit is not a requirement or a workaround. The trial unlocks equipment; it does not award Smith John himself.
Clear plan and reward
Planning suggestion: use the supplied farm units to fund the damage unit, then use the assigned utility rather than relying on a personal six-unit squad. The official page does not publish an exact placement order, so this is not a tested wave-by-wave script. A successful clear awards Disguising Mask, usable on Smith John; the current familiar module records +3,000% damage.
