For a long time, Speedwagon (Sprintwagon) was the only currency in Anime Vanguards, so there were no problems with whether to use him. But with the addition of Takarada (Takaroda), you may be wondering if you should use Takarada or Speedwagon in Anime Vanguards.
Should I choose Sprintwagon or Takaroda in Anime Vanguards
You should use Sprintwagon more often than Takaroda in Anime Vanguards. This decision mostly depends on the mode you are playing and the number of waves. Using farm units is all about knowing when you can count on the return on investment (ROI).
Sometimes, it’s not even a good idea to max them out because you don’t have enough time to get the money back. Take a break from destroying opponents to learn which currency is more profitable: Speedwagon or Takaroda. When discussing money and rewards, make sure to redeem Anime Vanguards codes often.
When to use Sprintwagon
You should use Sprintwagon (Speedwagon) in all short matches, as he will return your investment faster than Takaroda. That’s especially true for Story mode, where you don’t need more money than what Sprintwagon will give you in 15 waves. He is also very useful in longer matches (20+ waves).
| Upgrade | cost | Yen per wave | ROI (waves) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Placement | 550 | 250 | 2.2 |
| Update 1 | 1050 | 550 | 3.5 |
| Update 2 | 1800 | 1050 | 3.6 |
| Update 3 | 2550 | 1800 | 3.4 |
| Update 4 | 3050 | 2550 | 4 |
When to use Takaroda
Takaroda is best used in Paragon, Infinite, and Boss modesmainly because they are longer (Boss mode has 30 waves). While Takarada earns more money per wavehe is also more expensive to upgrade. If you look at the table below, you’d think you’d get money faster with Takaroda. But consider that you need Yen for upgrades; in some modes, you will waste too many turns to earn enough money to upgrade him.
Investing everything in the economy will leave you defenseless, which is especially problematic against faster units. When you upgrade Takaroda, you can place multiple Sprintwagons and earn enough money for attack units.
| Upgrade | cost | Yen per wave | ROI (waves) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Placement | 800 | 250 | 3.2 |
| Update 1 | 1500 | 750 | 3 |
| Update 2 | 3000 | 1500 | 4 |
| Update 3 | 4500 | 3000 | 3 |
| Update 4 | 7500 | 5000 | 3.75 |
| Update 5 | 10000 | 8000 | 3.3 |
| Update 6 | 12500 | 10000 | 6.25 |
Should I use both Takaroda and Speedwagon in Anime Vanguards?
Using both Speedwagon and Takaroda is redundant because you don’t necessarily need two farm units. Most of the time, picking one is the best way to go unless there is a specific battle where you often have to move units (sell and upgrade to max) for which you need a lot of yen.
Another important thing to consider is that using two farm units leaves you with fewer slots for attack units. While that might not be a problem if you have six unlocked slots, you’ll rarely have a real need for both.
