The 2nd Anniversary update brought Yuvi to Anime Vanguards on October 12, 2026, as an Exclusive-tier unit. This Spark-element damage dealer can take on a second form, Gauntlets, by progressing through the Evolution area. The base unit has two acquisition methods, while its upgraded form has just one unlock method.
Quick answer: Claim the first day of the 2nd Anniversary Daily Rewards to get Yuvi for free, or reroll the Anniversary 26 Banner for a 0.5% chance at an Exclusive. Then evolve it in the Evolution area.
Two ways to get Yuvi in Anime Vanguards
Both methods come from the 2nd Anniversary content. The free path is guaranteed, while the banner path is a gamble.
- 2nd Anniversary Daily Rewards: Yuvi is the day one reward. Claiming the first day of this login track hands you the unit outright, with no luck involved.
- Anniversary 26 Banner: Rerolling this banner carries a 0.5% chance of pulling an Exclusive unit, which is the rarity Yuvi falls under.
The daily reward is the reliable route. Treat the banner as a bonus if you are already rolling for other Exclusives, since the drop rate is low.
Yuvi (Gauntlets) stats and abilities
The Gauntlets form is the evolved version of Yuvi. Here are its core stats.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Exclusive |
| Element | Spark |
| DPS | 1k |
| SPA | 20 |
| RNG | 6s |
Yuvi (Gauntlets) runs on two passive abilities that shape how it fits into a team.
Denting Blows
The passive boosts damage dealt by Spark and Video Game units. Yuvi can inflict stuns, weaken enemy damage reduction, and apply Destruction and Slow. Against foes with no damage reduction, its attacks can score critical hits.
Hex Shield
Hex Shield grants Yuvi protection from Destruction while cutting its SPA. Takedowns increase its Crit Damage, and it deals more damage when attacking stunned enemies. The Crit Damage stat also counts toward Follow Up damage.
How to evolve Yuvi into the Gauntlets form
Evolution happens at the Evolution area in the Upgrades section of the lobby. You spend a set list of items plus Gold to unlock the Gauntlets form. Gather everything below before you start.
| Material | Amount |
|---|---|
| Hex Stone | 1 |
| Green Essence Stones | 40 |
| Purple Essence Stones | 30 |
| Pink Essence Stones | 30 |
| Rainbow Essence Stones | 1 |
| Gold | Required |
Raise Yuvi’s stats before you evolve it. Each evolution bumps every stat up by one rank, so a strong base roll carries over into a higher final tier.
Confirming the evolution worked
Once you spend the materials and Gold, Yuvi changes into its Gauntlets form in your unit list. The upgraded unit shows the Spark element, a higher stat tier, and both the Denting Blows and Hex Shield passives. If those passives and the Gauntlets name appear on the card, the evolution is complete and the unit is ready to place on a stage.
