How to get and use Shadow Traces in Anime Vanguards

In Anime Vanguards there are a variety of resources and materials you will need to farm to properly evolve your strongest units, including Shadow Traces. Though you don’t get many, you can still target farm Shadow Traces so you can evolve units as needed. Here is how to get and use the Shadow Traces you need in Anime Vanguards.

How to get Shadow Traces

The best way to get Shadow Traces in Anime Vanguards is to complete and farm the Double Dungeon Legend Stage Act 2 which is titled The Tossing Titan. This dungeon recommends Level 21+, and after 15 waves you will have to defeat the Spear Statue boss. Completing this Legend Stage has a 100% chance of rewarding between 1-3 Shadow Traces.

This means you can continually farm The Tossing Titan stage over and over to farm as many Shadow Traces as you need. With an optimized build, you can typically clear the stage in about 6-8 minutes, so depending on your luck you can often farm as much Shadow Traces as you need to evolve a unit in about an hour or less.

How to use Shadow Traces

Once you have enough Shadow Traces, and more than likely a required amount of Essences of various colors depending on which unit you are evolving, you can then visit the Evolve center and evolve your unit using the Shadow Traces, Essences, and Gold. More than likely, you’re going to want to evolve Song Jinwu into Song Jinwu (Monarch) using your Shadow Traces. Here are the full resources required to evolve Song Jinwu:

• 12 Shadow Traces
• 1 Rainbow Essence
• 30 Green Essences
• 12 Pink Essences
• 10 Yellow Essences
• 15,000 Gold

You can also use Shadow Traces, along with multiple copies of the Song Jinwu unit to visit the Acsension vendor and ascend Song Jinwu. The amount of Shadow Traces required increases after each Ascension, but with each one, your Song Jinwu unit becomes even stronger.
