how to get red key in anime vanguards
The Red Key in Anime Vanguards is usually obtained in one of two ways: it can drop after winning a dungeon/match at about a 10% rate, or you can buy it from the Dungeon Shop for 2,000 Monarch Tokens.
How to get it
- Run dungeons and win matches. The Red Key can drop as a reward, with multiple guides citing a 10% chance.
- Buy it from the Dungeon Shop. If you do not want to rely on RNG, you can spend 2,000 Monarch Tokens.
- Farm Monarch Tokens in Ant Island dungeons. Public guides say Ant Island is the main source for those tokens.
What it is for
The Red Key starts the questline that eventually gives the Elixir of Life, which is used for the Song Jinwu / Sung Jinwoo evolution path.
Quick note
Some older guides refer to slightly different quest step counts, but they agree on the core method: win dungeons for a drop, or buy the key with Monarch Tokens.
TL;DR: Farm Ant Island for Monarch Tokens and buy the Red Key, or keep clearing dungeons and hope for the drop.
