Anime Vanguards Redeem Codes: 2nd Anniversary Rewards List

Fresh Anime Vanguards redeem codes are dropping almost every week, and the 2nd Anniversary wave is one of the most generous stacks the Roblox tower defense has shipped since launch. Below is the full list of working codes, the exact steps to redeem them in-game, and a breakdown of every reward you can grab before the next patch rotates the pool. s one of the most generous stacks the Roblox tower defense has shipped since launch. Below is the full list of working codes, the exact steps to redeem them in-game, and a breakdown of every reward you can grab before the next patch rotates the pool, and if you're collecting every limited banner in the genre you'll also want to bookmark the Anime Vanguards Eternal Adversaries code list so its exclusive unit drops line up with your current save.

This Week's Redeemable Code Lineup

The current active list, as reported by community trackers like Beebom's Anime Vanguards code page, runs more than 20 entries strong. Most are tied to the 2nd Anniversary event, while a handful are leftovers from the Wrathful Assault mini-update and the Eternal Adversaries banner. Codes are case-sensitive, so copy them exactly as written — a single typo will return an "Invalid Code" message in the redeem menu.

Codes expire without warning, especially the event-locked ones tied to banners like Wrathful Assault or the anniversary window. If a code returns "Expired," the safest move is to bookmark this page and re-check weekly — community-run trackers usually update within a few hours of any new drop, and anniversary codes tend to vanish the day the event ends.

Redeeming Codes on Mobile and Desktop

The redemption flow is identical on PC, mobile, and Xbox, but the button location has shifted twice since launch. If you played during the Extermination update, your old bookmark may still point to the legacy menu, so follow the steps below for the current client.

Finding the Codes Button Each Update

1. Launch Anime Vanguards from your Roblox library and wait for the lobby to finish loading.

2. Tap the Codes button on the left side of the main menu (it's the small gift-box icon, not the Settings cog).

3. A pop-up window appears with a single text field. Paste or type a code exactly as it appears in the list above.

4. Press the green Redeem button. Rewards land in your mailbox within a few seconds.

5. Open the in-game mailbox (top-right envelope icon) and tap Claim All to push everything into your inventory.

Codes entered correctly trigger a green confirmation banner. If the banner says "Invalid Code" or "Code Expired," double-check capitalization and confirm the code is still active on a community tracker. The redeem window does not show a cooldown, so you can retry as many times as you want without a lockout penalty.

Where the Codes Button Has Moved

The button migrated during the Holy Retribution patch and again with the Wrathful Assault mini-update. On older clients it sits under Settings → Extras → Codes, while the current build exposes it directly on the lobby sidebar. If your UI looks different, scroll the left rail — the gift-box icon is rarely hidden, just pushed below the Play and Squad buttons on smaller screens. Console players on Xbox need to press the Menu button (three lines) to expose the full sidebar before the icon becomes selectable.

Anniversary Codes and Reward Breakdown

The 2nd Anniversary banner is the centerpiece of the current cycle, and the rewards lean heavily into reroll currency — which makes sense given how RNG-heavy the new Memoria Maker system is. If you only have time to redeem a handful, prioritize the codes below in the order listed.

The level 30 boost included with AnniNextHopefully is one of the most underrated perks. A fresh account that redeems it on day one effectively skips the entire Story Mode tutorial, jumping straight into Infinite mode with a usable squad. Pair that boost with the reroll currency from 2ndAnniversary, and you can field a competitive team within your first 20 minutes of play.

Memoria Maker Puzzle Pieces

HappyAnniversary drops a single Puzzle Piece, but the Memoria Maker system requires 10 pieces to craft a legendary-tier Memoria. That single piece is still meaningful because it is currently the only free source — every other piece has to be purchased from the rotating Anniversary Shop or earned through dungeon clears. Hold onto the piece until you can confirm a future code drop won't make it redundant, then commit it to whichever Memoria you most want to ascend first.

Wrathful Assault and Eternal Adversaries Codes

Two side banners are running in parallel with the anniversary event, and each has its own dedicated code pool. These expire faster than anniversary codes because the banners themselves are time-limited — Wrathful Assault closes with the next mini-update, and Eternal Adversaries is tied to the Holy Retribution Part 2 storyline.

The Red Key from TrueShadowMonarch is the rarest drop on this list because it unlocks the Shadow Monarch trial dungeon, which only opens once per account. Most players will never see this reward again, so the code is worth prioritizing even if you don't actively play Solo Leveling content. The Wrathful Assault banner is also your last chance to grab Wrath before the next battle pass rotation moves the shards into the legacy pool.

Why These Codes Expire Faster

Side banner codes are tied to a developer's internal timer that auto-disables them 24-48 hours after the banner ends. Anniversary codes get a longer grace period (usually 7-10 days) because the event itself is longer, but Wrathful Assault and Eternal Adversaries banners run on a tighter two-week window. Community trackers will mark a code as expired the moment the in-game redeem returns an error, so cross-reference at least two sources before assuming a code is dead — sometimes a hotfix re-enables a code within the same day.

Stacking Gems Fast: A Practical Strategy

Stacking Gems is the single most common new-player question, and the current code pool is generous enough to clear the early-game economy if you redeem in the right order. The table below shows the total Gem haul available from the working code list as of this writing.

That 175,000 figure is enough to buy roughly 35 pulls from the standard banner, or one full pity pull on the limited anniversary banner. Most players should hold the gems until the next limited unit is announced, because pity carries over between limited banners but not between standard and limited pools. If you absolutely need to spend now, the dungeon shop is the best conversion rate — a single 10-pull of dungeon tickets costs 5,000 Gems and is guaranteed to drop at least one epic-tier unit.

Reroll Currency Priority

Beyond Gems, reroll currency is the second-most valuable resource in the current patch. Between 2ndAnniversary (1,000 Rerolls), AnniNextHopefully (100 Trait Rerolls), and MiniUpd2 (200 Trait Rerolls), the working code list hands out more rerolls than most players earn in a full week of Infinite mode clears. Spend Trait Rerolls on your main damage carry first, because trait stats compound multiplicatively on units that already have high base damage.

Troubleshooting Expired and Invalid Codes

Roughly one in three codes in any public list is already dead by the time you read it, and there's no in-game indicator that tells you a code expired before you tried it. Below is a quick reference for the most common error messages and what to do about them.

If you hit "Already Redeemed" on a code you don't remember using, the most common cause is that the code was active during a previous patch and you redeemed it before a client reinstall. Codes are bound to the Roblox account, not the in-game save file, so a fresh install won't reset your redemption history. The only way to claim a "Already Redeemed" code again is to log into a different Roblox account, which is why some veterans maintain a small alt roster specifically for grabbing leftover code rewards.

Community Tracker Reliability

Community trackers vary wildly in update speed, and the worst ones keep dead codes on the front page for weeks. Beebom, the source linked earlier, has a solid reputation for verifying codes within 24 hours of any drop — but always cross-check against at least one more source, especially for codes tied to live events like Wrathful Assault. Discord-based trackers tend to be faster but noisier, with frequent false positives from players who mistype codes in chat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I enter Anime Vanguards redeem codes?

Open the lobby sidebar and tap the gift-box icon labeled Codes — it sits on the left rail below the Play button. A pop-up window appears with a single text field; paste the code and press Redeem. Rewards show up in your in-game mailbox within a few seconds. If the icon is missing, your client is likely outdated, and a quick Roblox restart usually restores the full sidebar.

How often are new Anime Vanguards codes released?

The developer drops new codes roughly twice a week, with larger waves during events like the 2nd Anniversary banner. Side banners like Wrathful Assault typically launch with 2-3 codes each, and one or two expire whenever a mini-update ships. Following the official Anime Vanguards Discord is the fastest way to catch new drops in real time, though community trackers like Beebom are usually within a few hours of any new code.

Can I use the same code on multiple Roblox accounts?

Yes — codes are bound to the Roblox account that redeems them, not to a specific in-game save. You can claim the same code on a second account and receive the full reward again, which is why some players maintain a small roster of alts specifically for anniversary drops. Just be aware that the redeem window has a soft rate limit, so redeeming across multiple accounts back-to-back may trigger a "Try Again Later" message.

Do expired codes ever come back?

Rarely. The developer occasionally re-enables a code during a server hotfix if it was disabled accidentally, but intentionally expired codes tied to a finished event almost never return. Your best bet for a code that just expired is to wait until the next anniversary cycle — past precedent suggests the 3rd Anniversary banner will likely include a reissue of the most popular expired rewards, including reroll currency and Memoria Shards.
