The fastest supported way to get Summer Capsules in Anime Vanguards is to repeatedly clear Summer Event portals — especially the Scorching Fast trial portal — at the highest tier your team can beat consistently.
Summer Capsules only show up while the Summer Event (Update 13.5) is live, and the quickest way to stack them is to farm Summer Portals on repeat rather than grinding general event content. The catch most players miss is that going for the hardest tier you can’t reliably clear is slower than farming a tier you beat every single time. Below is the loop, which portals to prioritize, and how to squeeze more capsules out of each hour without throwing away runs.
Why portal consistency beats the hardest tier
The core farm is simple: run the Scorching Fast trial portal, and every completed clear rewards Summer Capsules. So the first instinct — keep running it as much as possible — is correct. The amount you earn scales with the portal tier, so a low-tier clear pays out far less than a high-tier one, which makes “push the tier up” the obvious next move.
How to run the Summer Capsule farming loop
STEP 1/5
Open the Scorching Fast trial portal
From the Summer Event menu in Update 13.5, head into the Scorching Fast trial portal — this is the main capsule source.
STEP 2/5
Clear it and collect your capsules
Completing the portal rewards Summer Capsules, so finishing the run is the whole point — bail-outs and failures pay nothing.
STEP 3/5
Push the portal tier upward
Upgrade to higher tiers as fast as your team can handle, since higher tiers reportedly pay more capsules per clear.
STEP 4/5
Lock in the highest reliable tier
Stop climbing at the top tier you beat every time, not the hardest one you can sometimes scrape through.
STEP 5/5
Replay with minimal downtime
Jump straight back into another run the moment one ends — fewer seconds between clears is the single biggest speed lever.
Farm the highest tier you can clear without a single failure, not the hardest tier you can reach — a portal you lose even occasionally drops nothing and tanks your capsules per hour.

Which Summer portals to farm first
| Farm option | Why use it | Best for | Caution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low-tier Summer / Scorching Fast portals | Fast, near-guaranteed clears | New or under-leveled teams | Reportedly far fewer capsules per clear than higher tiers |
| Higher-tier / T4 Summer Portal | More reward at the top of what you can beat | Strong teams that clear without rescue | Exact T4 capsule yield isn’t verified; only worth it if clears stay reliable |
| Secret Summer Portals | Described as having better or special reward pools | Players who can meet the entry and clear conditions | The exact reward advantage over regular portals is unverified |
| General Summer Event modes (EXP / zombie / LTM) | Good for leveling units so portals stop failing | Building a team that can’t clear portals yet | Not confirmed as the fastest capsule route — a leveling aid, not the main farm |
Capsule farming reliably points to portals, but the exact reward math behind each one isn’t sourced, so treat the comparison below as direction rather than precise numbers. What’s confirmed is the shape of the choice: low tiers are safe but pay little, higher tiers pay more if you can hold them, Secret Summer Portals are described as more rewarding, and general event modes are better for leveling than for capsules.
Getting more capsules per hour
Once you’ve picked a tier, capsules-per-hour comes down to two things: how reliably you clear and how little time you waste between runs. A team that finishes the portal on its own — no manual rescues, no near-wipes — is worth more than a slightly stronger comp that occasionally fails, because every failed portal is a run that pays nothing. If your clears are shaky, it’s usually faster to drop a tier or spend a little time leveling units through the Summer Event EXP/zombie content until the portal becomes automatic again.
What Summer Capsules unlock
Summer Capsules are an event-only currency you spend on the Summer Banner, which is why stacking them matters. The banner features units like Iscanur along with event-exclusive Memorias and rare Vanguard Familiars. Players report opening capsules by the thousand chasing the top pulls, so serious grinding is expected — but the odds inside each capsule aren’t officially documented, so treat any specific drop-rate table you see as an estimate, not a confirmed number.
Mistakes that slow your capsule farm
The most common one is farming general Summer Event content — EXP runs, zombie mode, LTM stages — instead of Summer Portals. Those modes are useful for leveling, but they’re not the confirmed fastest capsule farm. Right behind it is picking long or hard portals that fail often, which drops your capsules-per-hour through the floor.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fastest way to get Summer Capsules?
Repeatedly clear Summer Event portals — the Scorching Fast trial portal is the main source — at the highest tier your team beats consistently, replaying with as little downtime as possible.
Should I farm the highest portal tier every time?
No. Farm the highest tier you can clear without failing, not the hardest one you can reach. A failed portal pays nothing, so reliability matters more than difficulty.
Do Secret Summer Portals give better capsule rewards?
They’re described as more desirable, likely with better or special reward pools, but the exact advantage over regular portals isn’t verified — and they can require specific entry conditions.
Can you AFK or macro farm Summer Capsules?
Players report using mobile macro setups to auto-run and replay portals. If you do, confirm runs actually replay rather than stalling on a failure, and note that emulator-based macros reportedly disconnect more often than mobile ones.
Are capsule drop rates or capsule-per-portal numbers confirmed?
No. Exact Summer Capsule drop rates aren’t officially documented. Community footage suggests roughly 1+ capsule per successful run, but that isn’t confirmed, and precise per-tier or per-hour figures should be treated as estimates.
