If you’ve jumped into Anime Vanguards Update 11: Demonic Rampage, the Season 11 Battlepass is the most important progression system to understand right now. It offers two exclusive meta units, Arbiter and Manipulator, that you simply can’t get anywhere else. Here’s everything you need to know to decide whether to go free or premium, and how to level up fast.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Total Levels | 50 |
| Tiers | Free + Premium |
| Premium Price | 799 Robux |
| Level Skip | 999 Robux (10 levels) |
| Exclusive Units | Arbiter (Tier 30), Manipulator (Tier 50) |
| Key Rewards | 300+ Memoria Shards, 250+ Trait Rerolls |
| Ends When | Update 12 releases |
The Season 11 Battlepass features 50 levels across two tiers: Free and Premium. The Free tier is the default ladder you access automatically, while the Premium tier is a paid add-on. You can unlock the Premium tier for 799 Robux, with the option to skip 10 levels for an additional 999 Robux. The Premium section levels up alongside the Free tier but delivers better rewards.
A major change this season: Gold has been entirely removed from battlepass rewards and replaced with Memoria Shards. Players can find over 300 Memoria Shards and 250+ Trait Rerolls across the free and premium tracks. This makes Season 11 far more focused on long-term unit progression than raw currency farming.

Both tiers reward Gems, Trait Rerolls, Memoria Shards, Stat Chips, and exclusive Familiars as you level up. The headline prizes are the two exclusive units:
| Tier | Unit | Unlock Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Free – Level 30 | Arbiter | Reach Tier 30 |
| Free – Level 50 | Manipulator | Reach Tier 50 |
| Premium – Level 50 | Shiny Manipulator | Premium + Tier 50 |
The Season 11 Battlepass also includes two exclusive Memoria: Empty Reflections (Arbiter exclusive) and Along Comes a Spider (Manipulator exclusive).
Arbiter is a limited-time Exclusive-tier unit inspired by Acheron from Honkai: Star Rail. She becomes a powerful meta DPS tower after evolution into Arbiter (Of the Void). To evolve her, you need 1x Galaxy Lotus (awarded upon unlocking Arbiter), various Essences, and 15,000 Gold.
Her passive Voidbringer triggers a follow-up attack for 50% damage every 5 seconds, inflicting Bleed — making her devastating against stacked enemy waves.
Manipulator is inspired by Kafka from Honkai: Star Rail and specialises in DoT (Damage over Time) amplification and support utility. She can only be obtained by completing all 50 tiers of the Season 11 Battle Pass. Her evolved form, Manipulator (Spider), is a current meta-level support pick with strong synergy for Bleed, Diseased, and other DoT builds.
Pass XP is gained from multiple sources, with Infinite Mode on Double Dungeon being the most efficient method. The Hobogoblin enemy splits into extra enemies upon death, all of which can generate Battle Pass XP.
Top XP farming methods ranked:
At 799 Robux, the Premium Battlepass gives you access to enhanced rewards at every tier alongside the free rewards — you collect both simultaneously. The standout premium exclusive is Shiny Manipulator at Tier 50. If Manipulator is already a meta support unit in her base form, the Shiny variant is purely cosmetic but valuable for collectors.
The 999 Robux level-skip add-on is best used near the end of the grind when you’re close to Tier 50. It can be purchased multiple times, so theoretically you can unlock everything instantly — but that’s a significant Robux investment.
Verdict: Premium is worth it if you plan to actively play through Update 11. You’re doubling your reward pool for every tier you complete.
Manipulator is exclusively available by reaching Tier 50 of the Season 11 Battlepass. She cannot be summoned or obtained via any other method.
The Season 11 Battlepass will end once Update 12 arrives. The release date for Update 12 is currently unknown.
Gold has been entirely removed and replaced with Memoria Shards in Season 11, with over 300 Memoria Shards available across both tracks.
Yes. Premium rewards are exclusive to premium owners, but buying the Premium pass gives you access to both tiers simultaneously, you don’t lose free rewards.
Infinite Mode on Double Dungeon is the fastest method thanks to the Hobogoblin enemy that splits on death, multiplying your XP opportunities per run.
