How to Get Ice Tea in Anime Vanguards?

The Ultimate Grind Cycle Method (Best Overall)

The most efficient way to farm Ice Tea in Anime Vanguards is by running the grind cycle, which takes about 5 minutes and 30 seconds per run. This method has completely revolutionized my farming approach, and here’s exactly how to execute it:

Step-by-Step Grind Cycle Process:

Start your run from the lobby
Complete the cycle in exactly 5:30 minutes
Each successful cycle can yield around 3,000 Ice Tea and roughly 2,000 gold
Immediately restart without delays
Maintain consistent timing for maximum efficiency

The beauty of this method? With this method, players can consistently earn up to 34,000 Ice Tea and 22,000 gold per hour, as long as the runs are done back-to-back with minimal downtime. That’s absolutely insane compared to traditional farming methods!

Summer Portal Farming Strategy

Summer Portal was possible to buy in the Summer Shop from the St. Itchas NPC during the Summer Event 2025 (Update 7.5), and it offers unique multiplier opportunities that can rival the grind cycle method when optimized correctly.

Portal Multiplier System:

Unit Damage Multiplier: 0% – 100% – Increases the damage received by enemies
Iced Tea Multiplier: 0% – 100% – Increases the amount of currency received

To maximize your portal earnings, you’ll need to stack these multipliers by using specific summer units and skins. These buffs apply to each player individually upon them equipping a qualified unit/skin and stack up to 100%, they do not surpass 100%.

Limited-Time Mode (Prideful Sin Escanor)

Limited-Time Mode: Face off against Prideful Sin Escanor in waves. Use only summer units and earn bonus Ice Tea and Sunshine. This special mode offers variable rewards but can be incredibly lucrative when mastered.

LTM Strategy Tips:

Only summer units are allowed
Damage increases as time progresses
Coordinate with teammates for maximum efficiency
Focus on survival over speed initially

Optimizing Your Ice Tea Farming Setup

To truly maximize your Ice Tea earnings, consider these advanced strategies I’ve discovered through extensive testing:

1. Team Composition for Portal Runs

Prioritize units with Ice Tea multiplier bonuses
Balance damage dealers with support units
Include at least one crowd control specialist

2. Resource Management

The grind cycle does not require extra buffs and can be done solo, making it accessible to a wide range of players
Save your buffs for portal farming sessions
Coordinate with friends for multiplier stacking

3. Time Investment Planning

Running the cycle continuously for three hours can result in approximately 100,000 Ice Tea
For players who can farm for ten hours straight, the total can exceed 300,000 Ice Tea

Some dedicated players use multiple accounts to maximize efficiency:

Set up alt accounts with basic summer units
Host portals on main account

The grind cycle remains the most reliable and straightforward method for most players, especially those playing solo or without additional team buffs
No buff requirements
Consistent rewards

Portal farming is another alternative, but it typically requires full buffs to match the efficiency of the grind cycle method
Potential for higher rewards with perfect setup
Additional drops (gift boxes, familiars)
More engaging gameplay
Team coordination benefits

Which Method Should You Choose?

Your choice depends on several factors:

Solo Players: Stick to the grind cycle
Team Players: Alternate between both methods

Community Tips and Tricks

I’ve gathered the best advice from top farmers in the community:

“The key is consistency. I set 3-hour alarms and take 15-minute breaks between sessions. This prevents burnout while maintaining high efficiency.” – Top 10 Leaderboard Player
“Always run portals with a full team. The multiplier difference between solo and 4-player is massive.” – Discord Farming Group Leader
“Don’t forget about the Sunshine bonus from LTM. It’s not just about Ice Tea!” – Content Creator

Technical Optimization

Reducing Lag for Better Farming

Performance issues can significantly impact farming efficiency:

Lower graphics settings to minimum
Close unnecessary background applications
Use wired internet connection
Play during off-peak hours
Consider using Roblox’s FPS unlocker

Macro Settings (Legal Methods Only)

While automation of gameplay is against ToS, you can optimize legitimate actions:

Set up quick chat macros for team coordination
Use legitimate auto-clickers for menu navigation only
Create custom keybinds for faster unit placement

What’s Coming Next?

Based on developer patterns and community speculation:

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Ice Tea Not Appearing?

Frequently Asked Questions

How much Ice Tea do I need for all rewards?

To purchase everything in the Summer Shop, you’ll need approximately 500,000-600,000 Ice Tea. At optimal farming rates of 34,000 per hour, this requires about 15-18 hours of dedicated farming.

Can I farm Ice Tea after the event ends?

No, Ice Tea is exclusively available during the Summer Event period. Once Update 7.5 event concludes, you cannot earn more Ice Tea, though the shop typically remains open for a few extra days for final purchases.

What’s the best unit setup for Ice Tea farming?

For maximum efficiency, use summer banner units with Ice Tea multiplier bonuses. The ideal setup includes at least one damage dealer, one support unit, and units that provide the Iced Tea Multiplier buff up to the 100% cap.

Is the grind cycle method bannable?

Absolutely not! The grind cycle is a legitimate farming strategy that doesn’t violate any game rules. It simply optimizes your time and effort within normal gameplay parameters.

How do portal multipliers actually work?

These buffs apply to each player individually upon them equipping a qualified unit/skin and stack up to 100%, they do not surpass 100%. Each player’s multipliers are calculated separately based on their equipped units and skins.

Should I save Ice Tea or spend immediately?

It depends on your goals. If you’re targeting specific items, save until you can afford them. However, if you want to maximize value, purchase high-priority items as soon as possible to benefit from them during the event.

What happens to unused Ice Tea?

Historically, unused event currencies either convert to a standard currency at a reduced rate or expire completely. The developers haven’t announced specific plans for Ice Tea, so it’s safer to spend it before the event ends.

Can I trade Ice Tea with other players?

No, Ice Tea is a bound currency that cannot be traded, dropped, or transferred between accounts. Each player must farm their own Ice Tea.

Conclusion

Mastering Ice Tea farming in Anime Vanguards Update 7.5 comes down to three key factors: choosing the right method, maintaining consistency, and optimizing your setup. Whether you prefer the reliable grind cycle method for its 34,000 hourly yield or the excitement of buffed portal runs, the most important thing is to start farming now while the event is active.

Remember, The main factor influencing your final earnings is your consistency and how long you can maintain the grind. Set realistic goals, take breaks to avoid burnout, and focus on the rewards that matter most to your account progression.

The Summer Event won’t last forever, and those exclusive rewards will become unobtainable once it ends. So grab your favorite summer units, optimize your farming setup, and get ready to stockpile more Ice Tea than you ever thought possible!
