Along with Rengoku, one of the most exciting characters added to Anime Vanguards in the latest update is the Akazo. So, if you are eager to get this unit, I highly recommend reading the guide below, where I explain how to get the unit as well as its evolution process.
How to get Akazo in Anime Vanguards (Update 0.5)
Unlike Rengoku, who is obtained as a reward for leveling up (Spider Forest Act 4), the only way to obtain Akazo in Anime Vanguards is to summon him via the banner. Yes, you have to roll for the unit, like most characters, via the standard/special banner using gems.

Being a mythical unit, its rarity of appearance is only 0.5%making it nearly impossible to obtain one. However, you can still increase your character’s base Luck stat by consuming Super Lucky (99 Robux) Or Ultra Lucky (199 Robux) potion from the store. Along with this, instead of summoning a single unit, try summoning units in packs of 10, as many players have reported getting the unit by summoning in packs. So keep summoning units until you get the Akazo unit in Anime Vanguards.
Keep in mind that Anime Vanguards still doesn’t have a dedicated in-game trading system, so this is the only method to obtain the item until the developers introduce one.
Akazo Evolution Guide
While Akazo is a great unit, players primarily obtain the character to evolve into Akazo (Destroyer) mode. To do this you will need the following materials as well as 15,000 gold coins.

Upon evolution, Akazo’s overall damage stats will increase by 50%while gaining a basic ability called Compass needle which provides another 33% increased range and damage for a short duration while being immune to all stun abilities. Overall, this is a great damage unit in the game that has excellent range and DPS numbers that are suitable for use in raids and other challenge modes.
