The Fire branch of Elemental Towers has turned into the fastest trait reroll engine in Anime Vanguards, and it runs on a single carry rather than a balanced six-slot team. Iscanur (Pride) — Escanor — does effectively all of the work once he has the right trait and the Fire Tower skill tree is pointed at damage and range. Everything else in the lineup exists to pay for him, buff him, and fill out the element requirement.
Quick answer: Build Iscanur (Pride) as a Monarch-trait solo carry, take Loner and Teamwork first in the Fire Tower skill tree, and place him so enemies repeatedly cross the edge of his range circle.
Fire Team loadout and familiars
The team is saved under Fire Team in the Teams menu. Six slots, one real damage dealer, and a farm unit that gets deployed and maxed before anything else.
| Unit | Familiar / Memoria | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Iscanur (Pride) | Blazing Solstice, Blazing Inferno | Main carry |
| Wrath (Assault) | Good Padoru, A Beast Plays | Damage support |
| Apathetic Savior (Door) | Fuu | Support / utility |
| Ali (Djinn) | Magic Dagger | Element filler |
| NotGoodGuy | Scrap Iron Sword | Element filler |
| Sprintwagon | Yuruzyu | Yen farm |
Apathetic Savior (Door) is the one slot that carries over from almost every meta lineup in the game, and it does the same job here. Sprintwagon goes down first every run so the yen curve can actually support Escanor’s upgrades before the first boss wave.
Trait requirements: Monarch on Escanor, Deadeye or Marksman elsewhere
Only one unit in the team genuinely needs a mythic trait. Monarch belongs on Iscanur (Pride), because its +300% damage and one-placement limit line up perfectly with a single-carry tower run. The rest of the board can sit on Deadeye or Marksman without holding the run back.
| Trait | Effect | Pity |
|---|---|---|
| Monarch | +300% DMG, -10% ATK SPD, +5% range, 1 placement | 1,500 |
| Deadeye | +45% crit chance, +50% crit damage | 400 |
| Marksman | +30% range | No pity |
| Fortune | +20% yen income, -10% upgrade cost | No pity |
Rerolls are spent at the Mandra NPC in the lobby’s Upgrades area, and pity is tracked per individual unit copy — rerolling a second unit does not build progress toward the first. Evolving, normalizing, and stat transfers all preserve that counter, so committing to one Escanor copy early is the cheap path.
Fortune on Sprintwagon costs roughly 40 rerolls on average and pays off in every single run. Get that before you start burning thousands on the carry.
How Escanor’s range border produces the damage
This is the part that separates a good Fire Tower run from a stalled one. Escanor’s Sunshine passive keys off enemies crossing the boundary of his range circle rather than simply sitting inside it. Enemies that walk in, stay put, and walk out once produce a fraction of the output.
When the pathing bounces enemies in and out across that perimeter repeatedly, burns stack and detonate, and boss health bars in the hundreds of billions evaporate. Heracles at 183.2B HP, The Father at 205B, and Shogamo at 247B all go down in seconds under the same behavior. Move him to a spot where enemies only pass through the middle of his circle and the DPS readout visibly collapses.
Activating Escanor’s Ultimate around wave 16 locks in the 12-hour stacks and the bonus damage that comes with them, which is what carries the run through the wave 20 boss.
Fire Tower skill tree order
Skill points are spent per tower, and the order matters more than the total. Damage and range come first, economy comes after the carry is already oversized.
- Loner — the damage node for a solo carry, taken first
- Teamwork — range, which directly feeds the border mechanic
- Ultimate Power — the next large multiplier
- Amplifier and Sniper — additional damage and reach
- Freebie and Money Money — cost reduction, taken after Range and Damage nodes
Placement and modifier picks for higher floors
Trait reroll payouts per tower clear
The victory screen is how you confirm the setup is working. It reports total damage dealt and the reroll count for that floor, and a functioning Fire Team run lands in the tens of trillions of total damage.
| Floor | Total damage | Trait Rerolls |
|---|---|---|
| 200 — Double Dungeon, Act 6 | 22.28T | 1,544 |
| 211 — Hill of Swords, Act 4 | 37.51T | 1,040 |
Elemental Towers pay out on a recurring basis as you climb, and the floors keep going, which is why stockpiles in the five figures are realistic — an inventory counter sitting above 12,000 rerolls is the normal result of a few days of pushing. Players running this same Fire setup have taken it past floor 2,000.
Other trait reroll sources worth stacking
Tower climbing is the bulk of it, but the account-wide sources fill the gap while your carry’s trait is still cooking. Odyssey is the largest single one, with proficiency and ascension rewards reaching up to 24,000 rerolls, and it doubles as the best gem farm in the game.
- Daily Challenge (3), Weekly Challenge (20), and Bounties from the Enemy Index NPC
- Battle Pass and Event Pass reward tracks
- Worldlines floors and Custom Levels first-clear bonuses
- Gauntlet placements and the Flower Country Weekly Tournament
- Daily login streaks and redeem codes
Duplicates from banner pulls convert into rerolls when sold, so pulling during 2x shiny events with a Super Lucky Potion active is the efficient window. The potion is crafted from 1 Rainbow Essence and 20 Green Essence.
Event shops are the other reliable drip. The Wrath Event Shop stocks Trait Rerolls alongside Memoria Shards, Elemental Shards, Phoenix Shards, and familiars, all bought with event currency.
Dungeon and raid shops work the same way. The Lunar Bridge Dungeon Shop sells Trait Rerolls next to Gilgamesh, Stat Chips, and essence stones, and the Raid Shop, Rift Shop, and Gold Shop all rotate similar materials.
The loop closes on itself once Monarch lands on Escanor. Tower clears fund the next round of rerolls, those rerolls upgrade the rest of the board, and the floors keep scaling faster than the enemy health bars do. If your damage number is stuck, the fix is almost always placement rather than another upgrade.
