Update: We’ve updated this list with the latest Anime Vanguards Familiars on September 26, 2025.
Familiars are a core part of combat, which were introduced in Anime Vanguards update 1.5. You can equip one for each unit, providing them with buffs, such as critical chance, elemental, damage, range, and more. There are various ways to obtain them, such as defeating a Raid boss and purchasing from in-game shops. That said, this article provides a list of all available Anime Vanguards Familiars with a guide to acquiring them.
What are Anime Vanguards Familiars?
As of this writing, Anime Vanguards offers 23 Familiars. They belong to one of these rarities: Exclusive, Secret, and Mythical. Additionally, there are three Vanguard rarity Familiars, which are exclusive to a unit. Each Familiar has unique buffs, and their stats are determined at the time of obtainment. However, Vanguard rarity Familiars provide three additional passives with fixed stats.
For instance, Turbo Granny’s description states that it increases critical damage by 0.5% to 5%. It means the Turbo Granny you receive could buff critical damage by any value between these parameters, such as 1%, 2%, or 2.5%, up to a maximum of 5%.

How to Get Anime Vanguards Familiars?
Multiple sources exist that offer Anime Vanguards Familiar. Some are also time-limited, which you can obtain by participating in temporary events. For instance, you could obtain Turbo Granny from the Occult Raid, which the developers discounted on February 22, 2025. Currently, there is no way to obtain Turbu Granny. Here are the details of all methods:
1. Purchase from Shops
Raid, Dungeon, Rift, and Event are the shops where you can purchase Familiars. You can buy a Familiar in the Ruined City Raid Shop for Auric Coins. There are two Dungeon Shops that sell Familiars: Ant Island (requires Monarch Coins) and Frozen Volcano (requires DragonToken). Purchasing Familiars from the Rift Shop requires Rift Shards.
There are two permanent Event shops, The Strongest and The King’s Return, which offer Vanguard rarity Familiars. You can also buy some from some time-limited event shops. In the ongoing update 8.5, the returning Warrior of Sound’s shop sells the Tengon’s Smokebomb Familiar. The Warrior of Sound shop will be available till October 4, 2025. Purchasing any item from the Event Shop requires Event Coins.
2. Clear Story Stages
Multiple Normal and Legend story stages reward Familiars upon completion. Whether you receive one from the stages depends on the probability. Nose is the only Familiar you can currently obtain by clearing one, two, three, four, five, and six acts of Hill of Sword Story stages. You will have a 10% chance of receiving it upon clearing them. The method to obtain a Familiar from the Legend stages is similar to the Story stages.
3. Clear Raids
You can obtain one Familiar, Birb, as a reward by clearing Acts one and two of Ruined City Raid. However, there is only a 1% chance that he will drop upon completion. Other Raids don’t reward any Familiar as of this writing.
The sources listed above are the primary sources of obtaining Anime Vanguards Familiars. You can also acquire some by opening limited-time items. For instance, you can get the Birb Familiar from the time-limited item Iced Box, with a 10% chance.
