In the Anime Vanguard Shadow Dominion Update, the developers have added a new item called Elixir of Life that is used to evolve Mythic Song Jinwu into Vanguard Song Jinwo and Igros. So, here is a quick guide on getting the Elixir of Life and transforming Jinwu to his best form.
How to acquire Elixir of Life in Anime Vanguards
To get the Elixir of Life, you need an item called the Red Key. You can obtain the Red Key as a drop reward (10%) after finishing any match. If you are constantly unlucky in getting the Red Key, you can alternatively purchase it from the Dungeon Shop using the Monarch Tokens, which in turn are obtained by clearing the Ant Island in Dungeons Mode. Currently, a single Red Key is being sold for 2000 Monarch Tokens in the Shop. Interact with the Song Jinwu NPC to open the Shop and purchase the item.
If you compare both methods, I suggest you go the Shop Mode route, as it's much easier to save 2000 Monarch Tokens than depending on the 10% drop. So, play the Ant Island Dungeon mode and grind the Tokens. You can earn anywhere above 50 Monarch Tokens per match depending on the difficulty and result of the game.

Once you have the Red Key, you can start the Red Key quest line, which involves four different steps.
- Step 1: Kill Ant King a total of 50 Times
- Step 2: Sacrifice 30 Mythic and Above Units
- Step 3: Summon 5000 Shadows with Jinwu Arise Ability
- Step 4: Sacrifice Igros (Elite Knight)
The first step is pretty easy to finish, as all you have to do is play the Ant Island Dungeon mode again and again to keep killing the Ant King. For the Second one, you can choose any mythic from your less-used inventory and sacrifice them one by one. The third one requires you to use the Song Jinwu unit in a match that can spawn the Shadows using his Arise ability. During a single time, he can spawn around 16 to 25 Shadows. So, it will take dozens of matches until you reach the 5000 count. The last part requires you to sacrifice an Igros(Elite Knight), and then you can receive the Elixir of Life.
Remember, players are facing a lot of bugs with questlines, with players receiving one or a few of the quests or no quests at all to get the Elixir of Life. But these are the proper and original orders to get the item.
Best Units to Clear Ant Island in Dungeon Mode
The Ant Island in Dungeon Mode is one of the most challenging raids in the game, and to overcome it, you require some good units. Below, I have mentioned some characters that will do the trick.
- Ichiga (Savior)
- Yomomata (Captain)
- Eizan (Aura)
- Alocard (Vampire King)
- Gujo (Infinity)
- Isdead (Romantic)
- Sokora (Angra Mainyu)
- Rom and Ran (Fanatic)
Remember to be patient and keep grinding, as the item only has a 10% drop chance.
Song Jinwu and Igros Showcase
After evolution, you can use Jinwu and Igros with the following stats.
- Damage: 27,013
- SPA: 6
- RNG: 28
Since Jinwu and Igros is the best unit in the game, I highly recommend you get the Ethereal or Monarch trait for it to make the best use of the character. Speaking about usage, you can use the character in almost every single game mode without any worry, especially in infinite-type modes where you want to farm resources or materials.
Unit Passives
The unit has three different passives, which can be found below.
- The Army's Supply: The Unit has a unique mana bar from the start of the match. Each time the character summons a shadow, 40% mana will be used, but you will get back 2% each time you eliminate a unit. Also, anytime your Mana is lost, your damage will be buffed by 0.5%.
- The General: If your Allied Summons die within the range of the unit, your damage will increase by 5% but will reset after the unit attacks. Also, if none of your units summon are near his tracks, the unit will gain 20% range and 30% damage.
- The Monarch: All summons will gain additional health based on the current Mana at the time of summoning.
