how to get escanor familiar anime vanguards
To get Escanor Familiar in Anime Vanguards, the current guide points to farming the new portal chain: unlock the subway route, get a Tier 1 portal from Pride, clear portals up to Tier 4, then aim for the Secret Portal that can drop after a Tier 4 clear or via pity after five runs. Once you enter the Secret Portal, Escanor Familiar is one of the rare familiar drops, with community guides citing roughly a 1% drop rate.
How it works
- Start the new game mode and unlock the subway station.
- Talk to Pride to receive a Tier 1 portal.
- Clear portals and progress through Tier 2, Tier 3, and Tier 4.
- Finish a Tier 4 portal to roll for a Secret Portal.
- Clear the Secret Portal to roll for Escanor Familiar and other rewards.
The most consistent sources say the Secret Portal has about a 1 in 20 chance to appear after Tier 4, with pity guaranteeing one after five runs. The same guides say the Secret Portal can also give capsules and memoria items, not just familiars.
Drop info
- Escanor Familiar: around 1% in the Secret Portal pool.
- Leo Familiar: around 9%.
- Capsules: can contain memoria and evolution items.
Fastest route
The easiest farming loop is:
- Spam the portal chain until you reach Tier 4.
- Use the pity system so you do not rely only on luck.
- Farm Secret Portals whenever they appear, since that is the actual Escanor roll source.
Community notes
Players on Reddit are also pointing to the same method: complete the normal Tier 4 route, then farm the Secret Portal reward pool. Recent videos from June 2026 match that same workflow, so this looks like the current method rather than an old one.
TL;DR: unlock subway, get Pride’s portal, climb to Tier 4, trigger the Secret Portal, then farm it for Escanor Familiar.
