Anime Vanguards Rift Guide
Rift planning should start with the unit you can actually build, then move into DPS, range, trait, and route checks.

Fast answer
Burst windows, current update access, and whether Beast Pirate or other Update 13 units solve a real team slot. This page is a decision route, not a promise that one unit is always best. Use it with the unit database, DPS calculator, and your own in-game upgrade screen.
Trait check
Reroll only when the unit is staying in your Rift plan and the trait changes a real clear or trade goal.
Value check
Current-update units can spike early. Use demand, route access, and upgrade readiness before trading.
Fallback check
If a new unit is unavailable, compare older high-DPS or high-range units that already fit your account.
