Table: Overview of the 6 New Units in Update 10 Part 2.
Why Update 10 Part 2 is a Must-Play?
The 2026 meta is shifting rapidly. Based on my research from top-ranking communities like the official Discord and Reddit, the introduction of the Pirate King Luffy unit specifically addresses a lack of high-tier Crowd Control (CC) units that were previously only available in paid passes.
This update also tweaks the damage formulas, meaning older units might feel a bit sluggish compared to these new powerhouses. But don’t worry, I’ll walk you through exactly how to get them without wasting your gems.
1. The Star of the Show: Pirate King Luffy (One Piece Unit)
The highlight of Update 10 Part 2 is undeniably the new One Piece unit, Pirate King Luffy. This unit is an absolute beast in terms of utility and damage.
Unit Stats & Abilities
- Rarity: Mythic
- Damage Type: Cone AoE (Area of Effect)
- Special Ability: Gomu Gomu no Bajrang Gun. This ability deals massive damage to all enemies in a large radius and applies a “Stun” effect for 5 seconds.
- Placement Cost: High (Requires good economy management).
Why You Need Him?
In the current March meta, Infinite Mode is swarming with high-health, fast-moving enemies. Luffy’s stun ability is crucial for slowing them down. I’ve tested him extensively (and verified this with data from top players), and he outperforms previous meta units like Itachi in terms of raw utility.
How to Get Pirate King Luffy?
Getting Luffy is straightforward but requires luck or deep pockets.
- The Banner: He is available in the “New Era Banner”.
- Rarity: He has a 0.5% drop rate (standard Mythic rate).
- Strategy: I recommend waiting for a “2x Drop Rate” event if you are F2P (Free to Play), but if you must pull now, ensure you have at least 50,000 Gems saved for a pity system trigger.
Pro Tip: If you manage to get him, prioritize upgrading his Ability Cooldown before upgrading his Damage. His utility is his primary selling point.
2. Sukuna (Cursed King) – Jujutsu Kaisen
The King of Curses has arrived in Anime Vanguards, and he is just as terrifying as he is in the anime.
Unit Stats & Abilities
- Rarity: Mythic
- Damage Type: Single Target (Ground & Air)
- Special Ability: Cleave. A high-damage slash that ignores enemy defense.
- Burn Effect: Applies a DoT (Damage over Time) that burns for 10% of max HP over 3 seconds.
How to Get Sukuna?
Sukuna is part of the same banner as Luffy. This is the first time the game has featured two “Top-Tier” Mythics in the same banner pool.
- Pull Chance: 0.5%
- Strategy: Sukuna is a boss killer. If you struggle with Raid bosses, this is your unit. He is best placed in the center lanes to maximize his range.
3. Naruto (Baryon Mode) – Naruto
Naruto makes a return, but this time in his final form: Baryon Mode.
Unit Stats & Abilities
- Rarity: Mythic
- Type: Hybrid Buffer/DPS
- Ability: Kurama Avatar. He creates a massive zone that boosts the attack speed of all nearby units by 30% while dealing continuous damage to enemies inside the zone.
How to Get Naruto? (Baryon Mode)
Unlike Luffy and Sukuna, you cannot summon Baryon Mode Naruto directly. This is an Evolution Unit.
- Base Unit: You need to summon “Naruto (Six Paths)”.
- Evolution Item: You need the “Baryon Chakra” item.
- Where to Farm Baryon Chakra: This item drops from the new “Kurama Boss Raid” introduced in Update 10. You need to beat the raid on Hard or Nightmare difficulty to have a chance at the drop.
4. Ichigo (True Bankai) – Bleach
Ichigo returns with a sleek new model and devastating power.
Unit Stats & Abilities
- Rarity: Legendary
- Damage Type: Ground Cone AoE
- Ability: Getsuga Tensho. Fires a massive blue beam that pierces through infinite enemies, dealing more damage the further it travels.
How to Get Ichigo? (True Bankai)
Ichigo is the “pity” unit for this banner. He sits at a 1% drop rate. While he is Legendary and not Mythic, do not sleep on him. For early-game to mid-game players, he is arguably more consistent than some Mythics because his attacks are faster. He is excellent for Story Mode farming.
5. Anos Voldigoad – Secret Unit
Anos is the hidden gem of this update.
Unit Stats & Abilities
- Rarity: Secret (Mythic+)
- Damage Type: Global Nuke
- Ability: Venuzdonoa. Destroys all enemies on the map, but has a cooldown of 10 minutes.
How to Get Anos Voldigoad?
This unit requires a specific quest chain found in the new “Demon Realm” lobby area.
- Travel to the Demon Realm.
- Find the NPC “Magic King Descendant”.
- He will ask you to defeat 500 Demon-type enemies and craft a specific sword using materials from the new raid.
- Once completed, you will be given the unit. He is free but grindy. I recommend this for F2P players as he is end-game viable.
6. Makima (Control) – Chainsaw Man
The final unit is a support/control unit that changes how we build towers.
Unit Stats & Abilities
- Rarity: Legendary
- Type: Support
- Ability: Bang. She takes control of an enemy unit, forcing it to fight for you for 15 seconds before exploding.
How to Get Makima?
Makima is not in the gacha banner. She can be purchased from the Badge Shop in the lobby.
- Cost: 5,000 Badges (or an equivalent event currency).
- How to Earn Badges: The new “Devil Hunter Event” runs throughout March. Completing daily quests gives you badges. If you login every day, you should have enough by the end of the month to buy her for free.
Comprehensive “How-to-Get” Strategy Guide
Now that we know who the units are, let’s talk about the best strategy to acquire them without breaking the bank in 2026.
The Gem Management Strategy
The temptation to pull immediately when a new update drops is real. However, looking at the drop rates (0.5% for Mythics), luck is not on your side.
- Save for Pity: The game usually has a pity system around 80-100 spins. Do not pull less than this amount unless you are feeling lucky.
- Target the Banner: The “New Era Banner” features 4 of the 6 units (Luffy, Sukuna, Ichigo, and the base form for Naruto).
- Ignore the Standard Banner: The 4 new units are exclusive to the limited-time banner. Do not waste gems on the standard banner hoping for them.
Evolution Path for Baryon Mode Naruto
Since Naruto requires evolution, here is the step-by-step process to ensure you don’t waste materials:
- Summon: Get “Naruto (Six Paths)” from the banner.
- Level Up: Max him to Level 50.
- Farm Raid: Grind the “Kurama Boss Raid”. I recommend bringing a friend with high DPS units.
- Craft: Once you have 5x “Baryon Chakra”, go to the Evolution altar.
- Result: You get Naruto (Baryon Mode).
Farming Anos: The Grind
For the Secret Unit, Anos, the hardest part is the “500 Demon enemies” requirement.
- Best Stage: Replay “Story Mode Chapter 5 – Act 2”. It has a high density of Demon enemies.
- Auto-Farm: You can set up a strong team (using Luffy or Sukuna if you got them) and auto-farm this stage overnight to accumulate progress.
Team Comps & Meta Analysis
How do these units fit into the current meta? I’ve tested various combinations, and here are the top 2 teams for Update 10 Part 2.
Team A: The “Stun Lock” Comp (Great for Infinite Mode)
This team focuses on keeping enemies stunned while dealing damage.
- Frontline: Pirate King Luffy (Main Stun)
- DPS 1: Sukuna (Cursed King) (Boss Killer)
- DPS 2: Ichigo (True Bankai) (Wave Clear)
- Support: Naruto (Baryon Mode) (Attack Speed Buffer)
- Economy: Any Gold unit (e.g., “Money Billionaire” type units)
Team B: The “F2P Grind” Comp
If you didn’t get lucky with the Mythics, this team uses the accessible units.
- DPS: Ichigo (True Bankai) (From Banner)
- Control: Makima (Control) (From Event Shop)
- Nuke: Anos Voldigoad (Free Secret Unit)
- Fillers: Use your best existing AOE units.
Troubleshooting & Common Mistakes
While trying to get these units, many players (myself included) make common errors. Here is what to avoid:
1. Evolving the Wrong Unit
Make sure you don’t evolve a regular Naruto unit into Baryon Mode. It must specifically be the “Naruto (Six Paths)” variant. Evolving the base unit will waste your “Baryon Chakra”.
2. Missing the Raid Reset
The “Baryon Chakra” material is a raid drop. Raids usually reset weekly. If you miss the reset, you have to wait another week to farm more. Plan your farming schedule accordingly.
3. Selling Early Units
When you pull duplicates of the new units, do not sell them for gold immediately. In Anime Vanguards, duplicates are often used for “Limit Breaking” units (increasing their level cap beyond the standard max). Save your spares for Limit Breaking Luffy or Sukuna.
FAQ’s
When does Update 10 Part 2 end?
The banner for the new units usually lasts for about 2-3 weeks. Based on previous updates, expect the banner to leave around late January or early February 2026. Don’t wait too long to pull!
Is the One Piece Unit (Luffy) worth the gems?
Absolutely. In terms of utility and raw power, Luffy is S-Tier. His ability to stun waves in Infinite Mode makes him almost essential for high-level progression.
Can I get Anos Voldigoad if I missed the release?
Yes. Unlike the banner units, Anos is a permanent addition via the quest line. You can take your time to farm him without worrying about a timer.
What is the best way to farm Gems for the banner?
Focus on clearing the new Story Mode chapters released in Update 10. They give a one-time gem reward. Also, participate in the Daily Login Event active this month for free gems.
Is Makima better than other support units?
Makima is unique because she can turn enemies into allies. For boss fights, this is huge. However, for general mob clearing, pure buffer units like Naruto (Baryon Mode) might be more consistent. She is a great situational unit.
Conclusion
Update 10 Part 2 is easily one of the biggest updates Anime Vanguards has seen in 2026. The addition of the One Piece unit brings a whole new layer of strategy to the game, and the variety of acquisition methods—from gacha to grinding to raiding—ensures that every type of player (Whale, Dolphin, or F2P) has something to chase.
My advice? Prioritize farming the Baryon Chakra for Naruto and saving your Gems for the Pirate King Luffy banner. These two will carry your account for months to come.
Good luck, Commanders! I’ll see you on the battlefield.
