Getting Shiny and Secret Units in Anime Vanguards

The first thing to know about Shiny and Secret units is that they are impossible to get if you are under level 10. This is to prevent players from repeatedly rolling for such variants of their favorite units using new accounts. One needs to work their way to level 10 before spending their Gems for the desired Shiny or Secret unit.

Getting such fighters is completely dependent on RNG, as they are solely available on the summonable banner pool. Currently, the two Secret units available in the pool of summonable fighters are Alocard and Igros, with each having a pull chance of less than 1%. The odds of getting their Shiny variants are even lower, making them the most elusive units in the game.

Secret and Shiny characters are not covered by the game’s pity system, which would guarantee the desired unit after you performed the specified number of summons. This makes them harder to get.

The best way to acquire such characters is to save up as many Gems as you can, reach Level 10, and try summoning them using the Special Banner. Use Super Lucky or Ultra Lucky to boost your odds of getting one of the two Secret characters. This way, you should eventually get your hands on the Shiny variant of one of them.

It's worth noting you can remove the level requirement through a paid feature known as Shiny Hunter. Moreover, purchasing this 1,299 Robux gamepass doubles the pull rate of Shinies from 1.5% to 3%. While this is a notable difference, it is not significant enough to be worth the price. However, the gamepass could help you get a Shiny unit faster.
