Anime Vanguards Team Builder
Build a practical team shell before spending rerolls, gems, stat chips, or evolution materials. The planner focuses on mode goals, unit stats, role coverage, and upgrade priority.

Team goal
Planner output
Use the output as a shortlist. A real team still needs cost curve, upgrade order, placement limits, traits, passives, and map mechanics checked in-game.
Recommended unit shortlist
Six-slot team framework
- Main carry: the unit that receives rerolls, stat chips, and evolution priority first.
- Wave clear: a tempo or multi-hit option that keeps early waves stable.
- Boss pressure: high DPS, high damage, or boss-friendly element value.
- Coverage slot: range, path control, or support radius for awkward maps.
- Mode utility: the unit or element that solves Rift, Boss Rush, Story, portals, raids, or dungeon pressure.
- Flex slot: a newer unit, farm option, familiar synergy, or update test that can be swapped without breaking the core plan.

Before spending resources
- Open the DPS calculator for the main carry and enter your actual in-game stats.
- Check traits only after the unit is confirmed for your current mode.
- Use stat chips when damage, SPA, or range is the exact reason a clear fails.
- Use items and shops pages before buying materials, rerolls, or event stock for the team.
