Story Mode: One act per stage, plus a new Exp Rush act. Get it by Open Story from the lobby after the anniversary update. Use it to Use the single act to learn a stage. Use Exp Rush when the goal is unit levels rather than Cake Slices.
Update 15.0 changes Story Mode so each stage has one act, and adds an Exp Rush act for leveling. Older routes that expected several acts on one stage no longer match the current structure.

Open Story from the lobby after the anniversary update.

Yes. The live experience at place 16146832113 is titled Vanguards: 2nd Anniversary. Developer posts, the Discord invite, and the in-game systems still use the Anime Vanguards name. This wiki follows that place, not a different game with a similar title.
Stay in the lobby, play until you reach level 10, then redeem the active codes. Log in during the anniversary event to receive Yuvi. Spend Cake Slices '26 on the Anniversary '26 banner only after you can see its pity rules, and save Trait Rerolls for one unit whose role you already use.
The current resource codes on the active list require level 10. Many archived codes required level 30, and LetTheLarpingBegin had no level listed. kat is a permanent joke code with no items. If a redeem does nothing, check the level on that row before you change the spelling.
Spend them at the Mandra NPC in the Upgrades area. One Trait Reroll replaces the single trait on one unit. Monarch is 0.1% (1 in 1,000) with hard pity at 1,500 rerolls on that unit. Ethereal is 0.175% with pity 858, Deadeye is 0.375% with pity 400, and Solar is 0.5% with pity 300.
Yuvi is a login reward while the event is live. Death's Grasp (Remembrance) is the Event Pass tier 50 unit. God Ascended is an evolution of God (Standless) that needs four Saint parts. True Shadow Monarch is a Player Quest evolution of Song Jinwu and Igros. Most other new and returning banner units, including Kokushibo, are pulled on the Anniversary '26 banner with Cake Slices '26.
