Update 9.5 arrives as one of the heaviest content drops the game has seen in months. New units, new events, a fresh seasonal mode, UI reworks, portal tiers, skins, remodels, and major Worldline changes all land at once. This Anime Vanguards Update 9.5 Update guide takes every detail from the update and lays it out cleanly so you understand what’s new, how it affects progression, and what to prioritize first.
Anime Vanguards Update 9.5 Update – New Codes, Units
Update 9.5 introduces a wide lineup of features:
• Seven completely new units
• Six remodels for existing characters
• The full Fall Event with a new LTM mode
• Fall Portals for tiered progression
• Full fall shop with event cosmetics and evolve items
• New banner for Fall units
• Worldline Season 8
• Inventory and collection UI reworks
• Trade UI expansion with trade history and in-trade chat
• Three new codes
• Over twenty QoL improvements
• More than thirty bug fixes
This content release was in development for nearly a month, so the scope is significantly larger than a typical patch.
New Units and Banners
Seven units debut across different sources:
• Lich King (Ainz) featured in the Fall Banner
• Black Hole
• Ghost Girl (Perona)
• Ghoul
• Jailer
• Unstable Mind (Mob Psycho variant)
• Horse Girls unit from Worldlands
The Fall Banner serves as the main hub for these units, while Lich King also plays a central role in the Fall Event story.
Remodels for Older Units
A large batch of remodels refreshes visual quality for strong meta units and older models:
• Sukuna
• Gojo
• Mahito
• Toji
• Mechamaru
• Itadori
• Choso
• Toto
The art style improvements vary drastically; some characters have standout upgrades while others have mixed community reception. Toji currently stands out as the most visually improved.
Fall Event: Fallen Kingdom Mode
The update rolls in a full seasonal event built around the Fallen Kingdom, complete with its own mode, choices, rewards, and progression.
Key features include:
• Kingdom Selection
• Choice Cards
• Stage Consequences
• Fall Currency (Leaves)
• Dark Essence evolution item
• Voice-acted abilities for new units
The event focuses on strategic decision-making within each run, creating deeper gameplay than previous seasonal modes.
Kingdom Selection Bonuses
You choose one of three kingdoms, each offering a unique buff:
• Restsisise – 20% extra event currency
• Buu Mob – Double mob spawn speed in the LTM
• Starve Theocracy – Higher secret encounter chance
Faster spawns typically outperform flat bonuses because they boost clears per hour, making Buu Mob the most efficient pick for grinders.
Choice Cards on Waves 5 and 10
Each run includes strategic decisions at two points:
• Taxation: Earn more leaves
• Military preparation: Gain combat bonuses such as damage or SP buffs
The choices influence your run’s difficulty and rewards. Harder paths deliver better currency scaling.
Consequences and Difficulty Scaling
Your decisions directly affect enemy strength, making this one of the most skill-oriented event modes yet. The event aims to deliver genuinely challenging stages for players who have previously breezed through content with top-tier units.
Fall Infinite Mode
Alongside the decision-based LTM, an infinite variant appears with the same enemy pool. It includes:
• Rewards every 10 waves
• Increasing currency scaling
• A Dark Essence evolution item
• Leaderboard potential
This mode will quickly become a hotspot for macros and long AFK grinds due to compounding rewards.
Fall Portals and New Map
Portals operate across ten tiers with increasing difficulty and special modifiers. Rewards include:
• Leaves
• Limited evolve items
• Dark Essence
• A full portal progression line
These portals take place on the new Lich King Throne map, built exclusively for the fall season.
Fall Event Shop
Using leaves, you can purchase:
• Fall Portals
• Skins and accessories
• Evolution materials including Shamrock, Ice Chest, and Dark Essence
• Cosmetic bundles
The return of older evolve materials is a major relief, especially for players stuck on specific evolutions.
Fall Skins and Shinies
Numerous new skins release alongside cosmetic reworks of existing units:
• Pimp Lich King
• Pumpkin Unstable
• Vampire Gojo
• Ghost-themed variants
• Seasonal accessories
Some shinies have noticeable design changes, and community reception is mixed. Toji’s shiny and remodel stand out as highly praised.
Worldline Season 8
Worldlines reset with significant difficulty changes:
• Horse Girls introduced as the new Floor 50 unit
• Floor 51 now matches the previous Floor 200 in scaling
• Traitless floor 51 equals old traitless floor 200
• Traits floor 51 equals old traits floor 400
This is one of the largest difficulty bumps in the mode’s history, making leaderboard runs far more demanding.
Rewards for leaderboard placements have also been improved, including shiny and normal variants of previous season units.
Inventory and Collection Reworks
Full visual overhaul includes:
• A completely redone inventory interface
• Unit inspection with full rotation
• Familiar and trait view modes
• Obtainability filters
• Rarity counters
• Organized collection pages
This is the most polished UI pass the game has had to date, adding practical tools for collectors and traders.
Trade System Improvements
Trading receives its biggest upgrade ever:
• In-trade chat for unit discussion
• Ability to attach units or items directly in chat
• Full trade history, listing:
– Items given
– Items received
– The player you traded with
This massively boosts safety, documentation, and convenience, especially for trading content creators.
QoL Changes and Codes
Quality improvements include:
• 50x Summon option added
• Multiple UI fixes
• Faster menus
• Smoother swapping between units
