Everything added in the second half of the Extermination Event, from four new units to the reworked Odyssey mode.

The second half of the Extermination Event lands in Anime Vanguards with four new units, five Memoria, a shared-rule dungeon, a fresh Boss Rush, and a full rework of Odyssey mode. Version 14.0p2 also brings a new Event Pass season, a batch of Vanguard Familiars, three redeemable codes, seven bundles, and 156 bug fixes.

Quick answer: Redeem the codes 1DayL8, HeavyEyes, and ExecutionPart2 for free rewards, then chase the four new units through the Extermination dungeon, the Cursed Copycat Boss Rush, and the Season 2 Event Pass.

Note: Codes in this game usually require a minimum account level before they activate. If a code does not apply, check your level and confirm the exact spelling and capitalization.


The four new units and where to get them

Each of the four additions comes from a different activity, so you will need to spread your time across the dungeon, the Boss Rush, and the Event Pass to collect them all. Every unit has both a Normal and a Shiny variant.

The five new Memoria

Five exclusive Memoria pair with the new units and one returning unit. You earn most of them through unit evolution, with the rest tied to the Event Pass, the Boss Event, and the Alternate Worldlines.

Extermination dungeon and its shared rule pool

The new dungeon pushes your squad deeper with every boss you clear. Killing bosses fills a points pool shared by the whole team, and the host spends those points on rules that permanently change the run from that point forward. This is where Awakened Sibling and Cursed Gourmet drop.

The dungeon also rerolls which element deals triple damage every five waves. A team built for wave 10 will not carry you at wave 30, so plan for shifting element buffs rather than a single fixed lineup.

Cursed Copycat Boss Rush

A new Boss Rush pits Cursed Copycat against Cursed Gourmet in a clash of cursed techniques. Clearing it pays out Copycat Tokens, which you spend in the boss shop. Those tokens buy the King’s Crown Vanguard Familiar and other rewards, and the run itself is the source for the Cursed Copycat (Pure) unit.


Season 2 Event Pass

The new Event Pass runs as a fresh progression track carrying more than 500 rewards, including Trait Rerolls and Memoria Shards. Working through the pass unlocks the Exclusive unit Sword Hunter (Void) along with its Sword Priestess Memoria, plus stat chips and other resources along the way.


New Vanguard Familiars and how to unlock them

Four Vanguard Familiars join the roster, each locked to a specific unit and earned from a different activity. Passive values on these familiars can still change in later patches.

FamiliarEquips toUnlock
Mimic ChestFriran (Teacher)Clear floor 50 of the Friran Rerun Alternate Worldline
Disguising MaskSmith John and Lord of ShadowsClear the Smith John Unit Trial
King’s CrownSaber (Black Tyrant)Buy for 200 Copycat Tokens in the Cursed Copycat boss shop
Familial JewelDawntay (Jackpot)Clear the Dawntay Unit Trial

The Unit Trials are a preset-team mode built around fixed lineups. You only need a single win in a trial to claim its familiar, which makes Disguising Mask and Familial Jewel two of the faster grabs in this update.


Odyssey rework

Odyssey has been reworked to smooth out longer runs. The changes touch routing, optional goals, and how cards are stored, giving you more control over how a run plays out.

  • New Challenge Routes that push you through 2-3 rooms instead of 1.
  • New Mastery Objectives that act as small optional goals for Elite and Boss rooms.
  • A card storage overhaul that moves to a loadout-based system.
  • A revamped Stitches shop.
  • Ascension modifier stacking.

Extermination Event Part 2 and evolution costs

The limited Extermination Event Part 2 rewards you for evolving the new units. You earn Event Coins that you can spend in the event shop on progression items. Evolution costs vary by unit.

Evolution taskCost
Evolve Cursed Copycat (Pure)30 Event Coins
Evolve Awakened Sibling (Restricted)30 Event Coins
Evolve Cursed Gourmet (Full)15 Event Coins

The event shop trades a single Event Coin for a Trait Reroll, Memoria Shard, Phoenix Shard, Corruption Crystal, Elemental Shard, Stat Chip, or Super Stat Chip. Spend any event balance before the window closes, since this currency does not carry into future patches.

Quality-of-life changes and bug fixes

Fifteen changes and quality-of-life tweaks ship in this drop, alongside 156 bug fixes covering gameplay mechanics, user interface elements, visual rendering, avatar compatibility, performance, and server stability. The most useful additions change how you place units and join matches.

  • Preplacing units, so you can set a unit before you can afford it.
  • Trait history that shows the total rerolls spent on each unit.
  • Alternate Worldlines access to Friran and the Journey’s End Memoria.
  • Joining friends mid-match, including a Spectator mode.

With the codes redeemed and the event window open, the fastest route through this update is to farm the Extermination dungeon for Awakened Sibling and Cursed Gourmet, clear the Boss Rush for Cursed Copycat and Copycat Tokens, and push the Event Pass toward Sword Hunter (Void). The Unit Trials and Friran Rerun round out the familiar collection whenever you are ready to chase the extra passives.
