Anime Vanguards: How to Farm Wrath Coins Fast in the Wrath Event

Wrath Coins are the only currency that buys the five new vanguard familiars, and they come from one place: clearing the 15-wave Wrath Event on Shining Castle. The mode looks slow on paper, but a run built around the Envy sin ends in roughly two minutes, which makes repeat Hard clears the fastest way to bank coins.

Quick answer: Run the Wrath Event on Hard with Bounty Hunter (3 Sword) equipped, pick the Envy sin before wave one, and repeat. Every clear pays 200 Wrath Coins.

Wrath Coin payout per clear

Hard doubles the coin payout while raising enemy health tenfold. Since a properly built team deletes the wave regardless, Hard is always the better use of your time.

Mode	Waves	Enemy health	Wrath Coins
Normal	15	Base	100
Hard	15	10x	200

Every match also awards 3x Battle Pass XP and 150 Gems on top of the coins, so the same grind feeds your pass progress.

Surviving all 25 waves of Apostles Vs Vanguards on Land of the Gods also pays 100 Wrath Coins, but it takes far longer than a Hard clear.

Pick Envy as your sin

Before wave one the stage makes you choose one of seven sins, and the pick stays locked for the whole match. Envy is the one that turns a 15-wave slog into a speedrun. It strips 30 percent of the damage off your strongest non-farm unit, then forces every other non-farm unit to copy that number. Bring one enormous damage dealer, and suddenly your fast attackers hit just as hard.

Sin	Effect
Envy	Strongest non-farm unit loses 30% damage; all other non-farm units match it
Pride	One unit only, but 5x damage, 50% more range, place anywhere
Greed	Only your first upgraded non-farm unit can be upgraded; every copy deals 4x damage
Wrath	Repeat hits on the same enemy grant 50% damage for 30 seconds, stacking without limit

The other three sins are Lust, Sloth and Gluttony. They work, but none of them shorten a run the way Envy does.

Loadout for a two-minute Hard clear

The team splits into four jobs: one damage anchor, one fast AoE attacker that inherits the anchor’s damage, one cleanse unit, and two farms.

Damage anchor: Gilgamesh with the Monarch trait. Alocard, Dante or The Struggler work as substitutes.
Damage spreader: Reimu (Shrine Maid), with a 0.9-second attack speed and full AoE coverage.
Cleanse: Bounty Hunter (3 Sword), which blocks the mind control from The Original.
Farms: Tempest Pirate (Nami) and Speed Wagon, with Unlikely Doctor and Yurezu familiars attached.

Bounty Hunter earns its slot twice over. Its Legendary Bounty Hunter passive raises the token payout from a clear, which is why a Hard run can settle slightly above the base 200 coins. Equip it from the UNITS menu before you queue.

Run the same pass through the MEMORIAS menu while you are there, since a swapped-out memoria is the easiest thing to forget before a queue.

Run the Wrath Event on Hard

Walk to the center of the lobby and speak to the History’s Strongest NPC, standing near The Doctor and the group beacon tower. That NPC hands out more than one event, so select the Wrath Event option specifically. You can also open the Events tab on the right, go to Special Event, choose Wrath Event at the bottom of the list, and hit the green Play button.

Choose Hard. The 10x enemy health looks intimidating, but it does not slow down an Envy team, and the 200-coin payout is double what Normal gives.

Select Envy from the sin cards. Once wave one starts, the choice cannot be changed.

Place both farms first with their familiars attached, then drop your damage anchor in the center of the map. Position Reimu and Bounty Hunter along the track afterwards. Parts of Shining Castle are no-placement zones and turn red while you are placing, so keep units with real range and AoE for the spots that remain.

Pre-Match Setup and Placement — On the Vote to start screen, the Yes button is highlighted while voting to start the match

Auto-upgrade both farms to max, then pour everything into fully upgrading the damage anchor. Envy copies that final damage number to every other non-farm unit, so the anchor’s last upgrade is worth more than a second attacker. From here the run can be left on auto play.

On wave 15, The Original spawns as the final boss. Sell your spare Reimu copies and re-place them directly on the active lane to burst the boss down before it can work through your defenses.

Without Bounty Hunter on the field, The Original can mind control your units, which is how otherwise clean runs fall apart on the last wave.

Confirm the coins landed

The victory screen is the confirmation. After wave 15 clears, it lists the Wrath Coins earned from the run alongside your Gem reward and character XP progress. A successful Hard clear shows at least 200 coins there, and slightly more with Bounty Hunter’s passive applied. If the screen shows 100, you were on Normal.

Once that screen appears, requeue immediately. The loadout and sin choice stay the same every run, so the only variable is how quickly you re-place your farms.

What Wrath Coins buy in the event shop

The five vanguard familiars cost 1,000 Wrath Coins each, which works out to five Hard clears per familiar. Everything else in the shop is priced at 10 coins.

Item	Built for	Cost
Holy Sword	Saber (King of Knights)	1,000
Iron Helmet	The Falcon	1,000
Blacksmith’s Hammer	The Smith (Forged)	1,000
Scrap Bluntsword	NotGoodGuy (Free)	1,000
Witch’s Staff	Medea (Witch of Betrayal)	1,000
Trait Rerolls	Any unit	10
Memoria Shards	Memorias	10
Phoenix Shards	Evolutions	10
Elemental Shards	Elements	10
Corruption Crystal	Corruption	10

Buy the familiar that matches a unit you already run before spending anything on shards, since the 10-coin items are trivial to top up later. Event shops in Anime Vanguards do not restock on a schedule, so treat the familiar you want most as the first target and let the rerolls and shards soak up whatever coins are left over.
